If I remember the Buffy-canon, there are at least five different types of major-league beings.
First, there are the Demons. These are the Old Ones like Illyria, the Wolf, the Ram and the Hart; that snake-thing that the Mayor was trying to transform into. All the other demons in the Buffy-verse, unless specifically stated otherwise, are mixtures of Demon and human and thus weaker than the Old Ones.
Then there are the Powers that Be. The only one we see is Jasmine, who had to incarnate herself in a body manufactured by a "fallen" Power that Be (Cordelia) who had sex with a human born from vampires (Connor). And then when people see her true face, it's all maggoty. But perhaps Jasmine is not representative of the Powers.
Then there are the gods. They don't seem to do much, other than be theurgic resources for Willow and other wiccans to draw upon. Hecate, Osiris, etc. That unnamed Troll god whose hammer Olaf somehow got.
Then there are the Hellgods, of whom we've only seen Glory. She may count among the above-gods but we've only seen people worship/sycophant at her, not actually draw power from her. Not a demon, maybe not even an Old One, but a Hellgod.
Then there's the one-off powers, like The First Evil and Twilight.
Would Doug classify all of these guys somewhere in the Celestial/Infernal axis? If so, where would they go? In fact, how would Doug react to the First Evil and vice versa?
