The Darkness

The darkness is, for lack of a better description, an army of demons & devils.
A souless group of demons on the prowl for the blood of the innocent... or that's how the legends go. The Darkness is a rather shadow-y, not much is known about them and not much ever will be.

Due to the nature of The Darkness it is almost impossible to research the biology or anything about them, you kill a creature of theirs and it slowly fades into thick, black smoke

Darkness Scenarios
A Darkness Scenario is a situation in which The Darkness has taken hold over a person, place or thing, sometimes even entire planets. (For more info on Planetfalls, click Here)

Classifications
There are several known so-called Darkness Creatures, ranks and variants of them as well

Generals
'General' creatures are the field commanders of the darkness, below the kings and queens of the darkness the Generals are rarely seen and never take solid form, but rather remain as a mass of dark smoke with glowing red eyes and teeth

Often stories and legends spread of the Generals and myths about how they began, what they are; Were they people? Are they demons? Golemns? Nothing can be confirmed or denied being as how rare even a sighting of a General is, especially in the field.

Marauders
'Marauder' creatures are commanders of most troops seen on the ground.

They are generally quite tall, 8'-10' in height, Have 4 arms, wear solid black armor that can shrug off a hit from a 12.7mm APCR bullet. They are blind and very powerful, the best way to tell if there is a marauder nearby is the presence of Twitchers
