Hellion (Race)

Hellions are a playable race in the Gigaverse. The term "hellion" simply refers to a Demon that lives beneath the surface of Hell. Although some Hellions look very similar to surface-side Demons, sometimes with abnormal skin colors such as red or black, a majority of them do not resemble any one thing. The majority of Hellions' appearances are based on the sins they committed in their previous life. For example, a gluttonous person may become a wildly obese Hellion. A person who committed arson may become a Hellion that resembles ash and ember, or appears burnt.

Hellions also cannot die, as they were never truly alive to begin with. Thus, when Hellions go "topside", that is, to the surface, and are mortally wounded, their bodies are transported back to Hell. Escape from hell has been made more and more difficult over the years to discourage the creatures from walking Topside.

Politics
Hell does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Demon Council, and instead, falls under the jurisdiction of Satan and his children. Satan has made an agreement, with both the Angel Council and Demon Council, to keep Hellions beneath the surface. However, during Satan's encasement in ice, this was frequently broken. Attempts to enforce the agreement have proven fruitless.
