Daevas



Daevas (ディーヴァ, Dīvua) are humanoid summons. They are technologically-advanced artisans, much concealed by their daunting appearance and menacing nature, and specialize in utilizing natural energy to drastically enhance the effectiveness of their inventions and jutsu overall.

History
Once a primitive race, daevas lived for centuries in catacombs deep underground in the Land of Demons, interacting very occasionally with the humans who resided on the surface. Over several decades, the few encounters became regular engagements, with a fair amount of residents hailing from the land conducting numerous experiments, primarily in developing technology, knowledge which would greatly impact the future of these creatures (sparking the advent of what would be known as second generation daevas). When Angra Mainyu massacred most of the Land of Demons' residents, the interactions between humans and daevas was immediately cut off. In the massacre's aftermath, remnant residents turned bandits made numerous raids on the daevas' community in pursuit of wealth - this sparked an intense hatred for humans in the daevas, who then began to rapidly develop advanced weaponry and armor, in conjunction to the enhancement of various jutsu through the application of natural energy. Adopting an unhealthy obsession with the progress they made within a short interval of time predating their conflict with human invaders, they began to convert portions of their body into machinery, and given another several decades, became a species with half of the population having transformed into biomechanical entities, mostly quadrupedal, of their former selves.

Overview
Daevas are a mentally, physically and spiritually-prominent race. They are predominantly large, quadrupedal, biomechanical entities capable of utilizing a plethora of various elemental ninjutsu, and having a great tolerance generated over the time they spent in their seclusion with aid from various ivnentions to genjutsu. They are naturally physically powerful, most being able to crush a person's torso, if not more with a single punch, which may even have only been half-assed. Their thick skin provides a formidable resistance against physical wounds, and grants tolerance against all basic elemental affinities.

Daevas are very familiar with senjutsu, utilizing it to not only empower their (and their summoner's) abilities, but also their technologically-advanced weaponry and armor.

The first generations of daevas are scarce in population to date, few remaining willing to be contracted to a human summoner, due to their past conflicts. The majority opt not to utilize the technology their species boasts, instead relying primarily on their battle-hardened bodies and abilities, rendering them the most agile of their race via the additional application of senjutsu, yet the more vulnerable to damage.

The second generation are composed from the race's more inventive artisans, and are mostly biomechanical. They boast more defensive qualities than their predecessors, although tend to be much less agile, encumbered by their heavily-plated armor and technological installments.
