Introduction

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Once upon a time, during the Victorian era, A mining company dug so deep into the earth, discovered a substance that is now known as Hellfire, a greenish energy that glowed hot with power, and while many would still steam in their everyday lives, businesses could use this Hellfire for their factories, the military could it for their weapons. The world would rejoice! This would make the world a better place.
Of course, that was hardly true. While it didn't pollute the air with smog, it didn't require mining for coal and digging up the earth, it came with its own pollutants: Demons. Yes, Demons, those creatures who we were taught came from Hell, wicked things that would possess the living and damned souls. With the discovery of Hellfire, came the discovery of demons. Most looked enough like humans, as the good book said, they were Angels once before the Fall but some had twisted into vial creatures, having once been human, but lost their souls.
Neither the Hellfire or the Demons that came with it was immediate news to the masses though, as the CEO of the mining company, all thanks to a snake of a man named Reginald Blackwood.
When the miners broke through and watched the Damned, go about their cursed lives, they didn't rush out, free from their torment, they couldn't because while the miners had broken through the earth and could peer into Hell, they didn't break the divine barrier that kept our worlds apart. It was more of a window into the each other's world, not a door.
For Blackwood, that was fine, since they could merely scrape the edges of the barrier for the Hellfire that came through, and make a synthetic out of what he'd found. He was very wrong, for as the moment a mortal hand touched the substance, said hand began to rot, blacken and had it not been for the quick thinking of one of the other miners removing the hand, the poor miner would have rotted through. Unwilling to give up on this new semi-natural resource, Blackwood then began to research how some demons -throughout history- were able to come through, possess mortals or even been summoned, because he'd seen through the barrier that the demons could touch the Hellfire without so much as an afterthought.
After years and years of research, he found his answer, by way of witchcraft. He'd found that witches of old could use a contract to summon a demon for very specific tasks, so he drew up his first contract and summoned his first demon, a creature known only as Belial. Upon summoning the demon thought to take over Blackwood, but the businessman knew all about contracts, he had a team of lawyers and wayward priests at his side, and thus Belial became the world's first demon servant. With Belial at his side now he could mine for Hellfire, but this started another problem, if there was to be Hellfire in every home and business in the world, there would too need to be demons with contracts such as his, to use it.
Thus began the Demonic Employment Agency or DEA, where, for the right price, any person with hopes of using Hellfire could come to apply for a contract with which they could use to summon a demon. Of course, when the Church found out about this, they were in an uproar, but they could only do so much, Blackwood was sure to keep this from them until the last possible moment, and by then it would be too late. The Church was sure to keep their flocks from this blasphemy but there were far too many people wanting this new energy for them to truly fight.
30 Years later, and demonic servants are the norm. They were a show of class, like having a nice carriage. Some families had multiple demons in their employ, they were the upper crust, while the lesser families had one or two.
Poor families couldn't afford demons, still used steam and clockworks but it was hard. There is, however, an annual lottery for those poor folks to win Contracts, so all isn't lost. The Church still tries to fight this, protesting outside of DEA buildings, Lottery sellers, and the like, but it still seems to be in vain. All they've managed where the construction of finishing schools for Demons so that they are perfectly polite and well behaved as well as certain rules that are standard for contracts, though they can be nulled if the contractor so wishes.
The richest man in the world, Reginald Blackwood has since grown old and frail now, and his son, Reginald Blackwood Jr. has taken the reigns of the company, with the famed demon Belial at his side.

Re: Gentlemen Monsters
@silky, That's perfect
@Electric, All yours. The FC is fine, but if you are willing to take another human male that'll be great too.
Everyone! The CS's look amazing so far. I believe we have enough to start sorting, so keep an eye out for PMs about your demons and masters respectively!
Re: Gentlemen Monsters
I'd love to reserve a lower class human with the fc of lily james, though should you need the fc to be male I can do that as well
Re: Gentlemen Monsters
To add images to a thread or any post, you'll copy and paste your image's url in between this:
[code] [img]insert%20image%20url%20%20here[/img]
The cs is pretty complex for someone who is not use to coding so don't be afraid to pm me.
Re: Gentlemen Monsters
I have an image, but I have zero clue about codeing or anything, so I don't know how to include it post^^'
Re: Gentlemen Monsters
Once we have an even, demon to human ratio, we'll be able to start. So get those CS's in guys!
Re: Gentlemen Monsters
Re: Gentlemen Monsters
She's perfect! I love that creepy woman! XD All yours!
I need all of you to have your CS's in either WIP from or finished within the week okay. You guys are awesome!
Re: Gentlemen Monsters
If I may, I'd like to reserve a female demon; face claim is Eva Green
