The "Technical" Premise of DemonTech
In the world of DemonTech, beings called demons coexist with humans, and may be induced to do the bidding of humans under certain circumstances. These demons may be visible or invisible. They have abilities depending upon their nature, and these abilities facilitate their being used in the place of technological tools such as weapons and medical equipment. While physical tools are also used in the DemonTech universe, demon tools are generally superior, and very frequently must be directed or wielded by specially trained personnel, or for the more advanced demons, by demon control specialists.Plot summary
