1: It's all personal choice of form! A lot have more human forms in Gehenna, because it makes it easier to contract and also live in a human city where the doors are made for humans and not like, a hive of flies in the rough size and shape of a dragon. But hypothetically, if someone had the PB for it, they're free to be as non-human as they like as well.

Ooh, interesting... Though that raises a second question for me, since demons have malleable physical forms, are they able to shapeshift at will (i.e. adopting a more monstrous form during a conversation in order to intimidate someone else)? Or would demons be locked into a certain physical form each time they manifest?

I think shape-shifting is potentially a fairly powerful second set of powers, on top of the typical ones demons get, so I think I'd say no, just because it'd be hard to powercap and make even. They choose their form, but get just one.

Makes sense! Will there be any restrictions on demons' manifestations beyond the practical, like the example you gave above about the doors? Since a demon might well choose to be a giant dragon for their one form because who needs doors anyway, but that would be uneven compared to someone who was person-sized because going through doors is awesome.

If someone wants to use a form that gives them an uneven advantage, I'd like if it was evened out in some other way, by an equal disadvantage, but I'll wait to make any firm calls until it actually comes up.
