This is pretty straight forward.
Are you a demon or do you think you're "dark" in any way? Explain what you think you are, and why you feel this way.
I am not a demon, though I definitely have a dark side which I guess is demon-ish! I would love some horns! lol
I am certainly evil and dark, I have often been described as demonic and have been called a devil but I am merely just a vanguard of chaos. In one way, humanity can be considered demons by the fact they are the only animal that destroys and pillages for simple greed or even for no reason at all. They are the only animal that seeks to control the world. Mankind's hearts holds shadows darker than the night.

Sounds more like a poll question. I am human. I think anyone can claim to be dark or light.
As for being human- that reminds me of a fable.
"The Lion and the Statue
A Man and a Lion were discussing the relative strength of men and lions in general. The Man contended that he and his fellows were stronger than lions by reason of their greater intelligence. "Come now with me," he cried, "and I will soon prove that I am right." So he took him into the public gardens and showed him a statue of Hercules overcoming the Lion and tearing his mouth in two.
"That is all very well," said the Lion, "but proves nothing, for it was a man who made the statue."
We can easily represent things as we wish them to be."

Nah this can not be answered in a poll the way I want it to be answered.
Erm, well history says you can cut off the greenknights head and he will come back. This may be deamonic or herbal or both, red eyes were noted.
Documents from the roman invasion of Londinium(London) show how Queen Bo-deca led her army of zombies and all but wiped out the invaders until reinforcements arrived.
A roman text exact translation" its as if you had to kill them all twice"
It can actually bring discussion and I am surprised there aren't many that posted.
As for me, I think everyone has a dark side. Some show it more than others, whether intentionally or not. It is also perceived differently.
I can be very dark when angry I also feel like a demon of myself.
I tend to take bad decisions and live in regret thus screwing up my future.
Maybe in order to see my mistakes I need my dark side.
Vampyres are seen as both angelic and demonic so i guess that's a yes but as with any beings of spirit, it's generally up to us which side we wish to strengthen.
It's not about who has a dark side and light side.. Or maybe I'm mistaking the topic and just looking at the wider view.
If you want a straight up answer, yes I am a demon, seeing as one resides within me and uses me for its whims.. A very helpful demon, but lets not get into to that.
Maybe we should find the definition of demon and start from there. Simplicity is a great approach to a better discussion..
1.An evil spirit or devil, esp. one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell.
2.A cruel, evil, or destructive person or thing.
Obviously, anyone with their evil sides could consider themselves a demon.. What I consider a demon is someone that is capable of or has done malicious acts of unspeakable evil or cruelty and has enjoyed it. I know alot about this subject.. It spreads deep down and eats your soul and every light outside of yourself. It affects you like a disease.
It is not a desire for the weak minded.
Actually it depends on where you get your information about Demons in general.
If you look at the Greek interpretation, A cacodemon (or cacodaemon) is an evil spirit or (in the modern sense of the word) a demon. Agathos Daimon or Agathodaemons, was a daemon or presiding spirit of the vineyards and grainfields and a personal companion spirit, similar to the Roman genius, ensuring good luck, health, and wisdom.
You see the same thing in other cultures like India for example. Asuras are defined as Demons or the "non-gods". And the Devas, who are the opposing team but still in the Demon family.
Not all Demons are defined an evil spirit.
If you was created as a human, then, you have a demon inside you. But, you are in control of that demon by your actions and how you handle life and the pressure of every day tasks. Sometimes, that demon is in control, and that is when we label others as Evil. evil has always been related to demons.
Evil and demons are two separate things..
Just because a person is evil doesn't make them a demon, nor does possession make them a demon.
I believe that if a person comes back to life with a demon spirit inhabiting them, they can be considered a demon, especially if there remains little to no human quality about them.
I think I am different....
Not dark but not light either.
Just different in a way that is near impossible to articulate but that even if I could.. people wouldn't be able to believe in anyway.
The way I always call it is this, "A Demon will teach you something that an Angel will not."
Although both are one and the same, both are messengers to humanity. The definition is intention :)
I think angels have much more depth than demons. It's much easier to be a demon than an angel. From a human perception, it's easier to be "bad" than to be "good". I guess people just think that way.
I think being "dark" and being a "demon" are different things for sure. I consider myself a demon. I am definitely not an angel. Not by what has been described as angel or good by humans thus far, anyway.
i have a dark sense of humour, and a dark sense of loyalty and if someone hurts someone i care about i seek revenge.
so in that sense i am a demon
I disagree with it being easier to be good than evil or bad. With goodness, you at least have the chance of having it returned. With evil, it decays and eats at you.. you're literally bound to the darkness almost inescapably. Some drown in it; it takes a strong soul to survive true evil.
"I think angels have much more depth than demons. It's much easier to be a demon than an angel. From a human perception, it's easier to be "bad" than to be "good". I guess people just think that way."
Actually it is not the easier path, in fact it can the harder path depending on the individual and who you ask.
If you even have a sliver of conscience, being ruthless would not be that easy....Luckily I do not have this problem.
If you wish to live a life of crime i.e serial killer without getting caught then you have to be cunning and smart.
To be good you just have to obey the pathetic law of whatever society you are in.
so all in all, the good side is actually the easier path.
every one is born with good and evil in them it is up to us to decide what path we choose
Not necessarily; one bad turn of events can lead you forever to face evil and destruction to survive. Just one wrong friend or acquaintance or one try of an illegal substance-even being around someone to deem you forever unredeemable.
Evil and good may be a choice to some, but just because you love the dark doesn't mean you understand it.
I say pish posh. Evil is relative and those that enjoy inflicting pain or doing something most would think of as negative are not demons, they are psychopaths and sadists. The word Daimon meant something more like a muse. In Ireland they were Leanan Sidhe, and for their inspiration your lifeforce was sapped until you died. On the Isle of Man they drank blood and are now thought of as vampires. It was certain religions and some cultures that perverted the idea of the daimon.
The Judeo/Christian groups are so superstitious they have created a whole lot of demons with names and things they do and their status. Some of them are merely gods of another culture that wasn’t their god they were promoting as the one and only or group of them they felt were the right ones. I don’t believe in demons at all. I think they are made up by man. Angels taught men magic (k) and how to make weapons and a whole list of things, there was no host. It was translated that way because those involved in translations didn’t want people to know it actually stated heavenly army and not host. They didn’t want people to know that the angels spoken of in religious works had armies and battles really although most know this from various other writings. Those that know anything about magick know that angels can be made to carry out negative acts that would be considered by most people as evil. Various angels were sent out to commit acts of murder and were called Angels of Death. There wasn’t just one. Do I believe in angels...haven't decided or really, won't divulge.
You see these things in movies. Watch The Rite and they finally get the supposed demon to state they are Ba’al. If you look it up most often they will say the god that was in the area closest to where Judaism was practiced. The fact is that word merely means Lord and there were a whole bunch of gods in various areas that had Ba’al attached to their names. Therefore I laughed and realized they learned nothing.
My view is negative activity that is outside of social norms is dark. I don’t equate that with the word evil. What one person thinks of as evil someone else does not. If it harms people then it is evil in my opinion. That is my measure and I don’t attribute it to any influence of outside agencies. That has been a cop out by man for the nasty things and acts they often commit. Most think of a dark person as someone who is interested in things outside of the mainstream of society. This can be an eccentric person because of interests or someone who might be fascinated with the occult, even someone who is interested in alternative religions or even ghost hunting. What is dark will be relative to the peer group you are involved with and your culture.
IMHO, dark is when the light is turned off. :)
Forgot to answer...sorry. No I don't think I am a demon, vampiric yes. No one has ever said I have inspired them enough for me to consider myself a demon. If I step out of this, a demon is something totally different from man and I don't think they actually ever inhabit a human body. So...nope, not me. (besides, I don't believe in them)
sometimes I wonder that a lot because when I get furious I imagine horrible things, but on some level everyone goes through that, everyone has a dark side so... idk if im a demon, but im not an angle. I guess i'd be what ever mythical creature is the offspring of both :D
I like the dark. Many people would tell you that they think I am evil, cold, demonic, vampyric, etc. But personally I am not a demon, a demon host or what ever the proper term is yes. I do have a demon but she is not cruel or evil persay. It is hard to explain.
i'm not sure the word "demon" is really the right application. I see the dark as partner to the light where creativity and awareness are enhanced.
Demon is a state of mind I suppose. I'm not demon. I'm as I was created and always will be, nothing more. There are states of mind that may thought to be evil; however, more so mental disorders arise here when it comes to humanity. With limited brain activity comes many cruel and awful desires. I'm not sure if anything here makes sense. Either way... this is hell (Earth). Live well :)
According to my ex I am indeed Satan in a silk mini dress and stilettos....
I have known demons, but i have not had one reside in me nor am i one.
demons dont come near me and i dont go looking for them. kind of a understanding
as far as am i dark.
i am neither light nor am i dark.
I am a remnant, something of both worlds.
I'm not a demon, per say, but for any body who knows the real me, they may say differently, but I do know that I did give birth to two demons, and I love them to death. ;)
It amazes me how people might automatically assume that Daerk= demonic. Yes there is evil of course, however I see darkness as strictly a counter balance as with Yin Yang
I didn't want to elaborate on the dark side because I'd get off topic. But I'll add something. I don't completely see the dark side as evil. For some the dark side means our unknown side, that it can come out or remain hidden, whether we want to or not. There are also light people and evil. They appear as charming but in reality they hide a good amount of 'evil.' I also agree with the yin yang opinion. I also don't agree by the evil and good as they are interpretations. So I tend to use these words as a way to describe something or someone, simply because I don't know which other words I can use or else just to adapt to popular belief.
Demons and Angels are one and the same, yet with the passage of time mankind has perverted this view.
I know I am part of a demon. Not a full one though. I tend to do and say things that cause total chaos. some of the things mess me up pretty bad in my life. Also it makes my vampire needs stronger. And sometimes in astral people tend to run the other way.
Well some say They have seen my demon at times:)..All I know is I was born human by definition of society. I am a blend of all things.
My partner thinks I am a demon. Especially when I charge items to his credit card.
I am a duel light and dark, soul wise I can be your best friend and loving; even to the darkest souls
on the other hand, I can play the dark demonic card due to I have walked in some dark souls before.
I can play the wicked card and take someone's negative attacks and use it against them.
That is how I play and how I learn. I learned from all 4 archetypes of how they play and like an Eve type I can turn the most negative attack into a positive loving attack and play wicked at the same time.
Alot of people decide whether their dark or light at a young age I think. Sadly, I've been given the heavy burden of hosting a demon in my being. Ex-Coven revenge I guess. The darker side to me is... well... along the path to becoming Demonic, esspecially if peole continue to under estimate me.
But when your young, you eithe choose to ac angelic or be the best little badass you can be.
You can't "be" a demon without hosting a demon; even then you may be described as a demon, but you are still human possessed by a demon. You don't really acknowledge being possessed if you are, because the stranglehold that it has over you causes deep pain towards your soul.
It's not "cool" to claim to be possessed by a demon. A false claim can allow access by that darker Light. It also makes you look kind of naïve, considering you wish to give up your soul to something so dark you can't even imagine it.
Interesting how this all goes to the opinions of others. Angelic/Demonic, to me, is one in the same. Both created by the human mind to better understand ones nature. We are capable of seemingly divine deeds as we are capable of unfathomable cruelty. You look at nature, watch the animals as they are, and you see both good and evil, by what we as human define those two words to be. It is natural to be light, it is natural to be dark. To be primal. Those without a ''conscious'' tend to be more inclined to do what is necessary for THEIR survival, just as the lion kills the gazelle. I feel that, on some level, those who kill others have a need somewhere deep deep deep inside of them that they need to satiate. Be it a created need, or a true need. My statement is room for argument to brew, as it is just an opinion formed from MY observations.
I am not a demon because a demon is someone who believes hell is paradise,or does unlawful things such as murder,rapist,greed,doesn't care about the human race.And does not believe in God which makes me undemond because I do not commit any unlawful acts.
I am not possessed. But I do get a lot of attributes etc. from that side of me. There are different types of demons. Mine is a sexual one. There are little things that can cause you to go to hell. Like lies.
I don't know....that's a tricky one....all a matter of definition and perspective really. Below are links to two of my blog entries in relation to being a possible vessel for demonic energies. One is a testimonial by my girlfriend as she has witnessed many of my blackouts and the other about how humans can be used as 'containers' for malevolent entities. You be the judge...

Doru, having read about 100,000 pages about this I think some are gatekeepers or Wizards, male witches...above others, higher perception. I think such souls are conduits for higher powers be they gads or aliens.
I am open minded.
"Demons and Angels are one and the same, yet with the passage of time mankind has perverted this view." or some sort of righteous balance to those who should know better ? TGK.
Am i a demon? hmmm....it depends in what context. You could ask someone if they were a demon and the would really think they were a spawn from the underworld. Very delicate question. No i am not a spawn from the depth of underworld nor have i suckled on Ershkigal's bosom. Though i do consider my self demonic in away. It is a mindset that must be taken into account when practicing the sort of magick i practice. Assuming a god form per se. Demons in the western world are always considered evil while in the eastern world they are simply creatures from another plain that cause mischief.
A demon and an angel? They are the same but are meant for different things. Both know of truely disturbing realities that mortal and the mundane cant bare to imagine. Consider this "darkness does not equate light as light does not equate good" in the name of religion so much blood has been spilled in the so called name of "good"....I cant help but think that when barbarian Europe was Christianized (btw the fall of Rome) they brainwashed to say that there dieties were "demons".
I think i am a demon....in a sense. umm...not sure how to explain...with uot sounding narcissistic...but it is how ine has used there differences and there social disadvantages to take a new perspective on the reality they percieve and then spread there observation....which is "new" and seen as bad or evil....if that makes sense..
Might depend upon who you ask. I've been told by several on here I'm the devil. Been told the same thing by some in RL . I suppose there is the possibility of demonic tendencies before I have that first cup of coffee in the morning.
Of course, there is also the matter of my three foot long forked tail.
how do you define the word "demon"? if you mean am i an evil spirit or working for satan, then no.
but as i have a "light" side, i also have a "dark" side. that said, isnt that the way of all people except for those with a psychological condition?
~W~
This really depends on your definition of demon, which in turn depends on your view of the realm of spirits.
Many people see a single distinct presence on the spiritual plane that are, as far as they can tell, the entire population. Sometimes they only see Angels, and sometimes only Demons. More powerful entities of that type may be Archangels or Devils, and various people have different names and different views of the heirarchy of these entities.
Some people see one side or the other, AND see human souls among them. Sometimes they believe human souls are moved on elsewhere after death, other times they believe human souls eventually transform into these other inhuman beings.
Personally, I've seen beings I would classify as Angels, and others I would call Demons. I've seen both types of presence working with both light and dark energies, but they do so in very different ways.
I've also seen both Angels and Demons working against what would usually be expected, up to and including the point of fighting others of their own kind. Fallen Angels, and Ascendant Demons, creatures going against their nature in different ways.
Darkness isn't always a bad thing. It can be dark in a dangerous sense, used to hide misdeeds, but darkness is sometimes a calming and stabilising influence, while light can be a chaotic and destructive force of nature. Fire produces light, and the more a fire spreads and destroys, the brighter it will get.
Magically speaking, I work with both light and dark, depending on what I'm doing. It's rare for me to be able to work both together, but I've found a few ways that work.
we all have a dark side with in us you would not be you if you did not
We all have a dark side and a light side. Unfortunately people are taught to be scared of their dark side and to try and avoid it. I think we have to embrace both sides in order to understand ourselves fully.
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ON THE DARK SIDE OF MY LIFE, I DO NOT HAVE A LIGHT SIDE, EVERY SINCE I WAS 6 MONTHS OLD I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON THE LIGHT SIDE OF LIFE, AND I DONT THINK I EVER WILL BE EITHER
Frankly, as I have seen it for a long time, I am a Demon. Besides being a vampire/Vampyre, I have always had a "dark side" or a darkness within myself, that always shows through, no matter what I do to disguise or hide it.
The things I've seen have numbed me more than they would numb anyone else who could see the same things. But of course, there is also the point of which that having been to Hell and back (quite literally) has a way of changing a person. I've stood face-to-face with the Devil, and made him cower, as though he were capable of absolutely nothing. I have also looked others (primarily other Demons and Mundanes/"normal" people) in the eyes and made them fear for their lives, without even trying.
The point of my "dark side", which is rapidly coming to be my ONLY side, goes beyond what most people can understand, and I know that it scares more people, now, than it ever did, before. (Obviously, I don't have horns or a tail, or I would be wondering what pathetic movie I came crawling out of.)
I have always been very sadistic in nature, and that I have seen, I can't even step foot in a church (unless it's Catholic, for some reason) without everyone sensing my presence, and I will even cast a shadow through every corridor in my path. Being able to control other Demonic Spirits, at will doesn't exactly help in the contradiction of that notion, either.
Having hatred constantly boiling inside, along with uncontrollable thoughts of murder, death, suffering, and not being able to feel anything but wrath, I've come to accept what I am, and to a point, I have almost completely embraced it. But I don't really have much of a choice, now, because of what I have felt rising from "beneath my skin".
Straightforward answer: No.
I think we are all human, and as humans we have the capability of evil inside us. We can do wrong things and choose to embrace those wrong things, for a false sense of security or power. I do not think human beings can be demons.
However, I do believe in demons, and I believe demons can afflict the human body and psyche if not protected properly. I believe in demonic possession and oppression, which maybe some people confuse as actually being demonic. I also believe that some people can long for that "darkness"(as said before, security/power) and can open up themselves up for demonic activity, which in my opinion, is EXTREMELY dangerous.
No - I am not a demon, but I do put some people off in a dark way when I need to.
I am not a demon, but I believe in their existence.
I do have one bad ass bad side though. Well I front like I do.
Everyone has a dark and a light side. That doesn't make you a demon. If you are a demon, you would just know it. Remember and see things others do not. Sometimes these would manifest in dreams etc. Sure, I see angels and demons. But, I see other things too. In my opinion, it doesn't really matter what you are. Eventually you are going to be what you are going to be. You are going to be what you are no matter what. What people think you are doesn't matter, it all comes from within yourself.
Seriously?
No I am not a demon. Although I have been called that by my mother on several occasions growing up. :)
i am a bit of a demon but i let it out to play once in a way
No I'm not a demon. I'm an Ameera lol
But, don't we all have a dark side?
I do believe that I have a dark side as I find blood & death highly appealing, interesting and beautiful.
What do you mean by demon? do you mean a fallen angel from out of the judaic myths?a spirit being? christianity demonised the pagan gods, so unless you are a christian, then a "demon" is a god or demigod. it is a subjective point of view.
Well im very dark n evil when you piss me off n i go out of control....so id say i could have a demon soul within me, as i always have visions n thoughts of killin. I have done horrible painful things.......We shall not go there but i am definently dark, chaos, pain, death , blood n goth. As i lurk in shadows
My mother always told me I was a demon, but I was just stubborn and did things my own way.
Am I a demon? No, although I do have many negative thoughts. However, I do not act on the negative thoughts, even when some are rather powerful. The reasoning skills I have developed as a human, give me the choice of acting on the thoughts. I would like to say Im angelic, but with the thoughts and anger I have, that would be a farce.
Im me, human ole boring me :)
i would like to think that i have an alter ego sometimes and that alter go can be very animalistic and quite formidable but demonic no but maybe just twisted and delusional to what reality is.
Oh I have been called a demon. But literally, no I am not a demon. I do have a dark side.
no not a demon but have been called a daughter or Satan Lucifer on many occasions and still do today by family friends etc
As for if have a dark side yes I do and consider myself more on the dark then the right according to the way I grew up and based on what I was taught in church as a child and pre teen before left cause of problems had with the reverend of our church also cause of the lifestyle I am part of people that I know consider that being a demon and going to Hell
After reading many of the responses i would have to agree with many in the fact that in some cultures, demons aren't exactly an evil entity. When we look at the bible we are taught that demons are nothing but agents of Satan which inevitably makes them evil. Though not the case in many other cultures and folklore.
But back to the question at hand, yes i am a demon. As to the type, i will let you ponder that one. I am like many in the fact that even being what i am, i have a dark side. Mine can show more than others at times but as many have stated previously, just because one has a dark side. Some may show it more than others but nobody is without that.
Im not a demon but I believe we all have our dark side. Its part of human nature
I am not a demon, but I certainly am not an angel either. I am pretty sure I am mortal, but I wouldn't want to test that theory. I assume I am human, but I am not a geneticist, nor do I know all the truths of this world so I want to keep my eyes open to all possibilities.
I haven't discovered any unique talents or powers... unfortunately.
I'm definitely no demon though I've been called such on numerous occasions. I'm not sure I even have a "dark side". Sounds a little too much like Star Wars to me. I'm just a person who has good days and not so good days like everyone else.
:) well my whole class says I'm not going to heaven. I hate the color white. The most badboyish guy in school is scared of me. My room is always dark. I alway where all black and listen to some really creepy music. um horror movies bore me to death and ghosts? please....might be real but that thought doesnt scare me. Now am I a deamon? hmmmm IDK....
I believe the only real demons that exist are the ones that stare back at us in the mirror.
Since you don`t define the term is a poll question. Everybody will have it`s own definition and the question is too vague.
There are demons in different religions and also in poetry: greek daemon, christian devils, satanist devils, electronical demons, soooo on.
It`s a common error of the threads. Nobody defines the terms and everybody starts talking about a different meaning of it.
Some discuss all at once for no one to hear(Moonspell "Mephisto") or practicing the sport of throwing the opinion.
:)
We are the third of the host of heaven (Angels) cast down to earth with the serpent of old, so we are the demons that we fear. No matter what name we change ourselves to, we cannot shed the truth of who we are, we are demons and our actions each day demonstrate that fact.
I have struggled with the turmoil that can reside within myself, I sometimes yerns for a reconciliation of mind and body to rectify the bad and the good that encomapasses all that makes us who we are..am I a demon, well that's a matter of opinion on your part, but my answere from myself to you would be...Not lately ;)
Dragonrouge,
Every word and statement has multiple meanings. This is just a pretty straightforward question without any strings.
An angel to some, a fallen angel to others, both to myself. Life feeds on life here on our planet. As for what may exist out there somewhere, or in another dimension or universe, I haven't a clue. If by a demon, you mean something evil, a devil, or something like that, then you have to define good and evil. Good and evil certainly exist to us humans, but what are they, exactly?
If there are any all-powerful gods, I believe they would have to be monsters because of the problem of evil. I do not really believe in the existence of any omnipotent, omniscient, omni-benevolent god or gods, but I suppose there are beings that exist somewhere that are more advanced and powerful than we are. I do not believe in the existence of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic god, or Satan, or heaven, or hell. I do, however, understand the position of the Leveyan Satanists in using Satan as a certain device, both literary, mythological and magical. Based on what I know of this Abrahamic god as he appears in the literature, he is a complete monster and dick. Satan? I can almost see he's got a legitimate gripe, in spite of some bad press down through the centuries.
Good and evil exist for us as part of our interpretations of our existence, as part of our world-view or "cosmic egg," from which we derive our notion of our free moral agency. But Euthyphro's Dilemma applies whether the "authority" is society or some god. If we only do something because society or god says it is "good" and "right," then we are only following orders, and free agency goes out the window.
Is something good BECAUSE it is good, or because some authority, like god, says so? If WE decide, then how do we know we can trust our conscience and moral judgment? The answer is that we (both individually and as a society) MUST decide, and we MUST decide because otherwise society cannot operate to hold anyone responsible for anything. And sometimes our personal decision is in conflict with society's model.
This is just the way things are. So, from the human point of view, there are demons and angels all over the place, and they are US! There may be others out there somewhere, but WE appear to be our own worst enemy as well as our main source of help.
After I read a few of the post I got confused on what then do I see a demon is. I went and googled and came up with 'a demon is considered an unclean spirit'. Under this definition I would say no I am not a demon. Though I think it is important to know what a demon is as for me I do my best to be a clean spirit. Being human I make mistakes sometimes. I have flaws.
Being Native American I have had the pleasure of being told stories on Spirits, demons, good and bad. One thing I always found interesting is my Elders of the past believe that demons are under ground. Thus in a lot of caves in the entrance there will be drawings of Warriors and such that would fight the demons to keep them under ground. They would not venture too deeply in caves either hat they make upset the demons to release them onto Mother Earth.
We all I believe have what we define for us what a demon is. For me it is as I define. A unclean spirit.
Everyone has a demon and an angel within them but, it's our choice to choose which one we will be. Demons com in many forms, one particular.. Is us. It is in our nature to be destructive, giving into the desire to domiate and to control awakens the hidden demon traits... I suppose in that balance, I am both when it comes to the balance of good and bad.
I am strictly and completely mortal man, although I have been accused of being the Devil before.
I was visited by such beings on several occasions during my life! However, I'm not sure where my dark personality comes from! I do know that these creatures smelled like blood and after seeing them I suddenly became interested in all things about vampires and demons! Check out my portfolio for a rough sketch of one of these beings!
