Imps are awesome - i played a few in RQ. One became one of 700 king golab demons in a particular legion and went of to climb up the demon hierarchy. Another One was a half chicken half imp lord of the chaos coops who was part of a plan to breed earthborne demons. I got to drive away the most powerful player in campaign by arguing I was better than all the other minor demons. I've always been fond of bottled imps for some reason too. DnD imp metaphysics a bit different but still fun and better than quasits.
Imps have secret diabolic names but are too low rank to have a talisman like propper devils. Other devils regard them as children even if they are smarter and more magic than more powerful devils. Most imps adapt a common nick name. They might go for a fancy name if pretending to be a god.
Ips are not just out for a random laugh. They seek to break people, corrupt them, soften them up to sell their soul. These pranks weapon communities, help corruption and present a cruel world where you may as well be evil and struggle for power and influence. Rather than chaos these operations are planned and documented for weeks by committees with manager oversight.
