 Beyond abilities from their domains and motifs, all god have certain innate powers that set them apart from mortals. All gods are naturally [[worldbuilding:scraps|scrap-sensitive]] and conditionally immortal, meaning they cannot die from age or disease. Gods are also immune to [[worldbuilding:horror_energy|horror radiation]]. Beyond abilities from their domains and motifs, all god have certain innate powers that set them apart from mortals.

-All gods have the power to make individuals of a lower tier than themselves (including mortals and animals) a **demon**. Demons gain the same conditional immortality and increased scrap sensitivity that gods have (stacking with any scrap affinities they might already have), as well as inheriting control over whatever the god's motifs are. The demon cannot refuse their demonhood, and it is only removed without the god's consent if either the god or demon dies; However, the demon is not especially forced to obey their god in any way, beyond ordinary methods of compulsion. If a mortal is granted demonhood, they cease aging until it is lifted, at which point they begin aging regularly again. If a god who was a demon for another god were to make a demon of their own, both gods' motifs would be available to this demon, although at weaker strengths.+===Demons===

-Gods can claim zones as their owncarving out certain areas on Morbit'surface. Almost all land on Morbit is currently claimed by one god or anotherthough the oceans are left untouchedThe main purpose of claiming zone is to protect it from the natural elements. Usuallythis means keeping it warm, as Morbit is actually rather far from its sun and would in ordinary circumstances be unable to support much life, but can also include stopping environmental degradation such as rusterosion etcMore powerful gods can have more direct control over features of the zone, being able to influence things like the weather, ecology and even the local gravity. When god diesit's zone becomes unclaimedand over a short period of time reverts back to its natural state.+The demon cannot refuse their demonhoodand it is only removed without the god'consent if either the god or demon dies; however, the demon is not especially forced to obey their god in any way, beyond ordinary methods of compulsionIf mortal is granted demonhoodthey cease aging until it is liftedat which point they begin aging regularly againIf a god who was a demon for another god were to make demon of their ownboth godsmotifs would be available to this demonalthough at weaker strengths.
