Daevinity Worldbuilding Info

Haven't given it a moment's thought, do you actually need to know the statistics to assign characters whatever's convenient for you?

Not really, just curious, I find the interaction between sexuality and species that don't reproduce sexually really interesting.

Another question: transgendered daeva: do they exist? My guess is that nothing relevant changes about either your body or mind when you die, but that naturally-appearing daeva have those things match. If that guess is correct, could a natural angel be genderfluid? How long would it take an experienced angel to change their own or somebody else’s sex?

There's an angel Jni. She was naturally appearing. She is trans. But she's an angel, so she fixed it good.

[MaggieoftheOwls]

Transgender daeva must exist because there was an angel Janine.

[DanielH]

I missed the angel Jni. What story was she in? But again, angels are different.

One of the Camboxes. Summoned by Miles, I think?

Question about “normal” summoning:

Demons are usually summoned gagged, if at all. Demons are best paid in intangibles such as the names of media. How can you possibly go about finding something-the-demon-hasn't-heard-of efficiently given the gag? Or is it the case that that just never ends up actually happening because Demons Who Take Summons Are Nearly All Unpleasant?

Also, it occurred to me that one kind of not-directly-reproducible entertainment is viewing a live performance — does that ever happen as payment (or if the gag prevents because no human's thought of it, would miscellaneous demons be interested at all)? (Not counting how Your Soul Or Your Body falls into the category of live performance.)

[Alicorn]

Live performance is totally a thing people can pay demons with. ("Make me a house and then we can go see Hamilton.") Other than that you just go obscure, new, or original and hope you tempt the demon. You can propose multiple possible payments if the first one doesn't meet with interest.

[DanielH]

What’s really annoying is the difficulty of getting payment suggestions the other way. Has anybody tried sending letters to Fairyland and Limbo saying “please try to get me on lists of demons accepting <x> payment”?

Also, Cam says he is a “fully-qualified” medical demon. What forms do these qualifications take? An angel or especially fairy could have physical or digital certificates so you could check, but that doesn’t work for demons because they could conjure unearned certifications if they weren’t under gag.
