Inspirations: high fantasy young adult novels, The Golden Compass, Narnia and Harry Potter.
Demons are: animal familiars summoned by wizards, apprentices and the gifted that are in fact manifestations of the summoner's own psyche.
Humanity is: heroism and daring.
Humanity loss for turning down a chance to be a hero or stand up for what's right.
Humanity gain for taking a chance for a just cause.
(Humanity's weak, might need an extra item here for a plural definition or might have to scrap this all together)
When you reach Humanity 0 your demon dies a tragic death and you take on one of their physical animal traits along with an additional price relating to this trait.
Prices:
Predator: -1 when not hunting in some manner
Herd: -1 when you act alone, not following others
Lizard: -1 when intense emotions are involved
Nocturnal: -1 when you have to operate during the day
Pack: -1 when an order isn't clearly established in some manner among the group
Stamina Descriptors
What was happening in the world that forged your body?
War: You have been trained to make war.
Riots: Life on the streets has taught you to look after yourself.
Peace: You have lived a life of peace and tranquility, all play and no life or death exertions.
Will
Where did you get your education?
Cloistered: You were raised and educated by the faithful.
Streets: Bartering, the short-con and where to find a warm place to sleep were what the world taught you.
Apprentice of X: You were taught all you needed to know by one powerful adult, a master in their craft.
Lore
Where within you does your magic come from?
Anger: Your beasts are strongest when they are founded on anger and aggression.
Curiousity: Your beasts often are summoned in order to discover and seek out information.
Love: Your beasts often have passionate feelings that you might not even consciously know you have.

Hi Judd,
I suggest that "standing up for what's right" is a perfectly sufficient Humanity definition for this material. The role of bravery and various other things like it can be worked out through play - in some ways, that's what a protagonist is
for
.
Best,
Ron
