Knout, The Flagellant Lemmings; Progeny of the Demon
prophet:
Elymas was once told his religious activities were all a farce to
control the mortal population. The Demon Prophet asked if the mortal would
follow any cause to it's end, with the human replying that no spawn of the Yozi
could do that. Taking it as a challenge, the 2nd Circle Demon created what
looked like a lemming with four horns, tusks, saberteeth and nine whip like
tails. With this new 1st circle, the old man's whole village was driven into a
suicidal madness, forcing him to be driven off a cliff in the mob's rampage.
Elymas was victorious, and the first Knout was unleashed upon the universe.
Knout now swarm across Malfeas, a scourge to all the
multitudes of hell. They gather in great frenzied meetings, with their loud
shouts and adulations driving other demons into the same twisted stated and
helping the chorus build up and affect more civilians of Hell. After a point
this just leads to everyone involved into a carnival of suicidal stunts - every
form of 'entertainment' that is put on kills or tries to kill the participants,
leaving whole areas of Malfeas desolate of life. The Knout often Survive such
events, as they are tough little demons that seem to survive most that the
world throws at them. Which is annoying for most demons who try to kill them on
sight. Luckily the Knout are few in number and no-one knows how they come into
existence. This lack of population growth is the only thing that keeps the
Flagellant Lemmings from fulfilling the deepest desires for self-destruction.
Knout enter Creation whenever multiple people commit suicide
together - these demons will try to encourage more death amongst mortals. They
are rarely summoned, due to the Flagellant Lemmings being a fairly new species
of demon, but if they bound, they are best used for crowd control or designing
original execution methods. Their intimacies include Elymas (Guide and
creator), Death (Entertaining), Self-destructive behaviour (Fun to watch, fun
to do), Festivals (SHOW TIME!), Mobs (Home sweet Home), the preservation of
their race (If we die, who'll lead the carnivals!) and pain (For the lols).
