Hello! Not to worry about td;lr things, we're totally here to work with prospective players on how their characters could function within the game! Sometimes there's 'grey areas' and that's kinda fun to work with!
I'm canon-blind but with a little reading and discussion with mod helpers, I think there could be three ways you could go about this:
1. Nikolai remains possessed, but the demon he's possessed with is depowered. Meaning (from a read of his permissions page) there is no physical transformation/super-strength/flight/etc abilities. It becomes more of an 'alternate personality/jekyll & hyde' type of situation that Nikolai will be unable to control. Although it's worth nothing that powers characters will eventually gain in game could then extend to the demon, too.
2. Nikolai remains possessed, but you can treat as more of an affliction than an ability. The demon remains within him in a mental capacity only. It will not have any powers, nor will it take over his body/make Nikolai transform. But Nikolai is aware of its presence within him — just perhaps in a weakened form. Maybe it simply haunts him/bleeds into him. Nikolai himself could suffer bouts of more animalistic behaviour/craves human flesh/animal flesh, for example.
3. If you would like to explore completely changing things up with him during his time in game, then this option is that Nikolai is cut off entirely from his possession.
It should also be noted that option one + two is allowed as long as the demon possessing Nikolai isn't an appable character in its own right. In addition, we would also ask that you confirm details in the 'additional information' with your application!
