So if we are moving into books, then I will suggest [url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0159NS6YY?ref=series_rw_dp_labf]The Black Jewels[/url] series by [url=https://www.amazon.com/Anne-Bishop/e/B001IGV1EO/ref=series_rw_dp_un]Anne Bishop[/url]
There are demonic characters, and all sorts of warlocks and witches who derive their magic through “unholy” sources etc.
Also some kinky stuff, like bonded pleasure slaves, etc.
Example characters: Saeten, Lord of Hell, and his son Daemon, who is fated to be the consort of the Dark Queen.
[size=6]Okay, so what shows and books do you know that have demons as main characters? And BTW, I am NOT going to include all the “My Demon Lover” type books, of which there are too many to count.
These are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head
[b]Books[/b]
The Devil is a Part-Timer, Japanese Light Novel.[b]TV[/b]
Lucifer
Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell[/size]I love “Lucy”
I’m currently in Lucy withdrawal as it is on hiatus.
YPFIGTH is also great!
In terms of a movie: I think “He Never Died” certainly counts. On Netflix, probably on Amazon in some form.
Main characters are hard, however if you include major characters:
Supernatural
Angel
Charmed
Buffy
The Messengers (CW on Netflix)
Constantine (TV show & Movie)
Ash vs the Evil Dead (Starz–yes, supposedly they are undead–but they are actually demon possessed corpses which is why they are the Evil Dead) also associated moviesOf course, if, on the other handm you want Gods as the main characters, then you are required by law to watch:
The Almighty Johnsons (also on Netflix)
For the moment, that’s what comes to the top of my head, having watched them. I am not including Anime, in which case, the list really grows…
Caine Deathwalker in the Demon Lord series by Morgan Blayde was raised by a demon if that counts.
uh, thinking, thinking….
Good Intentions by Elliott Kay has a main character who is a demon, a Succubus to be specific.
i think there’s 1 more i know of…..
drat, completely thought out at the moment, but I’ll come back if i think of more.
[size=6]I was specifically thinking purely of MC’s like the “Blue Exorcist” anime, as that’s much more rare. There are a number of things with demonic supporting characters. I know there’s a whole slate of urban fantasy novels concerning demon/angel wars. Or something more post apocalyptic, like the former TV show “Dominion”.[/size]
Books…
The[size=7][url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K848GPI/ref=series_rw_dp_sw] Imp series[/url][/size] by Debra Dunar – MC starts off an an imp as well as having the titles of Ha Satan and the Iblis – later turns into an Angle of Chaos
if you include anime, you really need to include my buddy Ryuk’s series, DeathNote…
Yes, yes, peeps will try and tell you that Light is the hero, but that’s all BS, Ryuk is the only truly important character in the series, after all, it’s his DeathNote.
Sheesh, haven’t seen Ryuk in a while, we used to have lots of fun together, he’s also quite handsome, if I do say myself, a true leading man sort of actor.

if you didn’t know book 7 came out on jan 26 for the deathwalker series
Excellent point! Completely forgot Dogma, which is odd, because it’s not that frequent that the Demi-Urge exposes her true identity.
I know, a lot of Americans were disappointed to learn that God was a Canadian, which is a bit odd, given that her son was Judean, wondering if he had dual citizenship? Of course, it also annoyed people to learn that he actually had two moms, Alanis and Mary, now, given that we know that Alanis was raised Catholic, (i.e. God is a Catholic) which mother’s maternal line counts for determining Jewishness?
Cause if he was Catholic and not Jewish, Church dogma starts getting a bit confusing.
:-k
Another book series is the [size=6][url=https://www.amazon.com/Dante-Valentine-Complete-Lilith-Saintcrow/dp/0316101966/ref=la_B002BLOSOU_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1488571981&sr=1-4]Dante Valentine[/url][/size] series by Lilith Saintcrow….MC is a Necromancer for hire that is turned into a sort-of demon hybrid by the Devil’s demon assassin
