Background: Hell

Hell is where people who've died go, if they didn't go to heaven nor stayed on Earth. In there, most people are humans who became spirits, or demons. But some demons are born-to-be demons, which gives them a special status, being comparable to Royalty on Earth (which is why the term "royalty" will only be used as a comparison on this page). These born-to be demons only represent 5% of the whole "population" of Hell, but they're way more feared than anyone, because Royal Demons can make spirits disappear forever, like killing them for good.

However, Hell has a hierarchy and some functionning system, which is what will be explained on this page !

Division of the nature
There isn't "nature" in Hell. Though, there are around 45 continents, themselves divided by zones. Each continent has between 3 and 15 zones, depending on how big is the continent and how much people live on it. Each zone has a specific wildlife, with its own animals and plants. Though, one continent can have similar species in different zones. These zones are ruled by one Royal Family, but this family can also rule multiple zones at the same time. Let's take the example of Tatula and his family, They 3 zones of the 12th continent, which only has 4 zones:    Maan; Akli; Hopld and Milbs. Talula's family owning 3 zones at the same time, they renamed it as a single zone: MaAkho.

In these zones, can be found small towns, regular ones, and big ones. The biggest ones often are full of standard spirits, with a few demons in it. Though, quite a lot of people live within huge houses, on around 4 floors, and there can easily be 20 people on one floor. The towns also don't have any money nor government nor law system, unless the Royal Family has an affair with someone, which can lead to some sort of law system. However, spirits don't need food to survive, and simple spirits don't need souls to satisfy their appetite, only pain and torment from the others, or animals. Thus, most of the spirits take eating and drinking or having sexual intercourse as a hobby, and not a vital need like humans.

Since not everyone can see the same things nor colors in this world (depending on what type of death they suffered, they won't be affected the same way), no one can say they see "colors" like humans see it. Though, most of the Royal Demons can see the world like any alive human, which is pretty useful when going on Earth.

How it works on Earth
Humans all have one spirit, and one soul. Whenever someone dies, their soul becomes inactive and stays in their body; freeing the spirit. Although the spirit can't active its own soul again, it can go wherever it wants: stay on Earth as an invisible being, or deciding to disappear from the world. Depending on what the spirit's done during its lifetime, it will either go to Heaven, either go to Hell.

Still, very strong spirits (less than 2% of the spirits) can go on Earth and possess people's body, if they don't have their soul eaten. Demons can choose between eating souls (what they do most of the time), or controlling it (being able to take control of the body whenever they want). By controlling it, they refrain other demons from eating in, but also refrains themselves from eating it right away. But; because of their needs of eating souls regularly ("regularity" changes from a demon to another), demons eat the souls instead of controlling them; and so that's why most of the corpses remain corpses. In the end, demons always eat the soul they controlled.

However, strong demons (being comparable to little devils) can refrain from eating a soul, even after multiple centuries of controlling it. but that's really rare (which happens to Candy Pop in the story, but I recommend you to read about him before making assumptions :) ).

Types of spirits
When they go to Hell; all spirits first are basic spirits (around 18% of the spirit population): These spirits are the most fragile ones. They don't have any powers, yet can often be marked (when a demon or strong spirit marks another one, it's like they become their plaything. Even if they're not forced to follow the one who marked them, they can be found by him/her at anytime, in any place. Marked ones often are tormented with their fears and phobias for the demon/strong spirit to get something to eat), and that's why they often try to eat pain and torment from little animals or plants. That way, they can easily become standard spirits.

Most of the spirits (around 50% of the spirit population) being in Hell are standard spirits: These spirits have a few "powers". They don't need any food, water, nor souls, and they don't need to kill either. They just need to regularly eat some pain and torment, often from weak spirits or animals. They can go to Earth for this, but they can't act with humans. However, they can act with objects and hurt other spirits who decided to stay on Earth. They mostly kill and hurt animals to cope with these needs, but they can't stock any of this pain inside them, even if these needs become way more intense than when they were basic spirits. However, they tend to be way less marked than the basic spirits, and can start to mark them; even if it's pretty rare. The more they eat, the more powerful they become. Then, they can become strong spirits.

Some spirits (around 40% of the spirit population) are strong spirits: these spirits are the ones struggling the most, because they're the ones having the strongest needs concerning pain and torment. Because of this, these spirits often mark the basic spirits who just arrived, to cope with the quantity of pain and torment they have to eat. Though, some can cope with it by eating a lot of food, or having quite a lot of intercourses (being sexual or not). They often go on Earth to scare humans, taking forms of violent spirits, poltergeist, or any form of dangerous/aggressive entity. They can possess some animals (like domestic ones or little wild ones, such as dogs, cats, birds, snakes, etc.) in order to interact with humans on a closer level. They can't stock any of the pain inside them; which is a big problem for them. Though, some of them can gain so much power they can become very strong spirits.

These very strong spirits are more commonly called "young demons".
