Courtship Ideals
To impress someone they find of interest, they'll usually attempt to fight to try and impress them with their power. This isn't to say all Infernin will be interested in this, but they'll typically have some form of competition or rivalry to help better themselves to see if they're at the same level as one another. And in cases where they find appreciation in one another past the point of needing to be equals, the stronger partner will often offer to mentor the weaker partner to help them grow through the ranks.
Average Technological Level
Infernin have made the discovery of 'soul tech', a type of technology native to the underworld. Whilst most believe this uses souls to fuel their technological machines, this isn't quite accurate. In truth it uses 'energy' from souls, which while it weakens spirits, it doesn't destroy them. They extract a spiritual substance called 'Ectoplasm', which they used to fuel their technologies. One of their most notable inventions with this technology is the hoverboard.

History
The infernin were descended from the demonic soldiers in the Invasion of Zhaos, being Zhaos's soldiers from the demonic realm. Zhaos wanted to take the realm of Talor for himself, wanted to force it's denizens to worship him to give him more power. This invasion of the demonic realm got the attention of the other deities, deciding to bless heroes with their power to fight back against the demonic hoarde.
The blessed heroes fought against Zhaos, fighting to force him back into his realm. The people of Talor managed to fight back the demonic hoardes and seal away Zhaos. The demons, now without their deity, fled to the wastelands of Talor to regroup. Even though they tried to terraform the world to support their bodies, plaguing the land with Infernal energy, but it wasn't enough infernal energy to support their demonic forms efficiently, having limits to what they could do.
They took the forms of humanoids, taking a more managable form through the use of magic. At first they tried utilizing magic, however their new forms became descended through their bloodline to become their natural form, essencially evolving into a new race they dubbed the Infernin. Supplies in the wastes were limited. They've been biding their time and resources, hoping that one day they could fight back against the world to gain some substantial standing in this realm.
