'Everything
daemonic is between divine and mortal.'
Diotima

In Greek mythology, the Daímones are personified concepts. They are the hunger in a famine and the love that consumes, the strength of a thousand men and the threads of fate. These are their stories.
Adikia
Injustice
Injustice is everywhere and so is Adikia. She is covered in tattoos each showing one of the wrong-doings she cherishes so much.
Ananke
Necessity
No one can stop Ananke. She is inevitable. According to Plato, she was there at the creation of the universe where she was united with Nous (intellect), but that union ended as chaos spread.
Bia
Anger
Anger is not the opposite of love and Bia loves to remind Eros from that. While she says otherwise, her anger controls her more than she controls it.

Hypnos
Sleep
Everybody needs sleep and therefore everybody needs to stand in Hypnos' good graces. The personification of sleep want nothing but peace and quiet.
Kratos
Strength
Kratos walks with the strength of a thousand men and their burden looms above him. He could carry the heavens with a smile.
Limos
Famine
Starving is a matter of concentration. Limos knows that and to him it is an art. When he looks at his reflection, the way his ribs spread his skin makes him smile.

Moirai
The Fates
Fate comes in threes. Here, it is Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. The three are a package deal, not even looking for individuality. Heroes may try to defy them, but in the end, fate is stronger than hubris and they will cut that thread of life.

Polemos
War
Blood in Sand (in Forgotten Ones)
War and love go hand in hand. At least that's what Polemos tells Eros whenever he makes his advances. Apart from that, he just loves the battle. Every splatter of blood on his skin broadens his smile.
Thanatos
Death |
I have always seen the personification of death as a lonely soul. There is a beauty in death, reflective in Thanatos that he hopes takes the fear away from those he carries into the underworld. While one of the most powerful of the Daímones in ability, he holds none of it within the underworld. Aidoneus (Hades to the Olympians) only gets to reign, because Thanatos lets him.
