Demonic items and demons in general should be banned and will be as such. I strongly urge you all to find an alternate character type or a species derivation over red penguins with horns.

Ninjinian asked what demons have to do with Hell, so I'll tell him. In the Christian Bible, demons, also referred to as "the devil's angels", are the minions of Satan. They reside in Hell and carry out Lucifer's works of evil, primarily temptation, making life for believers (and non-believers in many cases) more difficult and such. Much as angels are messengers of God (and not human), demons are minions of the devil and carry out his actions, most often, tempation. Possession is a practice Satan seems to not use these days.

Make note though, that demons don't cause bad behavior (that's your fault alone and you can't blame Satan), but they tempt people or entice them into doing it, at least according to the Bible.

Now, when you say Hell, which Hell do you mean? Do you mean the Hell of any religion such as Christianity, Islam, Hindu, etc. or the "hell" of mythology such as Hades or the metaphorical term that often describes prison (Owcatraz)? Any and all Hell is banned, but the Underworld is a bit more lax in its policy. You'd have to propose that seperately, since AG's Hades suggestion is ANOTHER prison, and we have two already, plus the SKIP and Ban Island.

Anyway, bottom line:
 * Demons, no.
 * Hell, no.
 * Stories which involved demons, yes (but replace demons with something else, such as zombies, ghosts, perhaps vampenguinism, etc.).
 * Stories which involve the afterlife, yes (but replace the afterlife with something in the mortal world).

By the way, I'm not turning it down becase AG said it, I would have rejected it if ANYONE proposed it. Demons are not allowed, but demonic alternatives (zombies, ghosts, vampires, other creatures like that) are fully authorized and reccomended as replacements.

Of course, you could just use REALLY EVIL penguins.
