The orignal way of spelling Demon. Also used in Finland, as I have personally experienced.
Demons are commonly known for being in cahoots with the devil, Satan. They have been known to posses humans, and have them do their bidding. Some fighters (like myself) have been known to use daemons to an advantage in martial arts. However, being able to control it requires deep and frequent meditation.
Other GaiaOnline User:Um, Lord Balmung of Azure Sky? Are you from Finland?
Lord Balmung of Azure Sky: No. Why?
O:Because that's how we spell Dæmon.
L:Interesting.

A Demon? Isn't that what Satan uses to internally destroy a human?

The demon... It's too strong.. I can't fight anymore...

In short, they are your soul. The spelling is taken from the His Dark Materials books. The concept in the books was taken from Aristotle's concept of a daimon who was his spiritual guide.

A daemon in our world is incorporeal, more of a voice in your head. When people visualize them, they are usually animals. They can shapeshift to almost anything. Eventually they will settle as an animal that reflects your personality and character the best.
My daemon is settled as a red fox.

If you have a Daemon in your life you are extremely lucky. Daemon is usually a males name. He is kind and caring but it takes him a while to open up to you. once he starts opening up to you, you know he trusts you. He's impatient and determined. Once he gets his mind set on something you will have a hard time changing it. He does stupid stuff but he tries not to. Daemon is usually one to get all the ladies but when he is taken he stays loyal. He tends to hide his pain but when he shows it, its almost to late. He can scare you with some of his actions but he doesn't mean to. He tends to pouts if you don't give him attention.

pretty much someone you can trust your life with.
"Omg Daemon, you're amazing"

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
