Huncubi[edit]
This is the race mentioned in Lusty Maiden's Earring (5e Equipment).
Physical Description[edit]
By Cambion Art |
Huncubi, or cambion, are the offspring of a fiend, usually a succubus or incubus, and a humanoid, usually a human. As such, they bear the form of a humanoid and possess only half the fiendishness. Huncubi commonly have very human faces that might be handsome or beautiful. There is some variance between huncubi on how much fiendish blood they have in their veins, altering the traits they may be born with. Some huncubi have glaring red skin and bat-like wings but are unable to use them. Others may have just pointed ears and eerie feral eyes. The general population of huncubi have horns and some sort of tail. Their nails may be longer and sharper than regular humans and they are known to have desirable physiques with hair colors that range from human, to otherworldly colors like purple.
History[edit]
For many years there has been an incubus by the name of Melocolias who rules over a section of the underworld. This particular section is home to the most greedy and corrupt incubi, seeking riches and pleasure above all else in a hedonist haven. Succubi and incubi congregated there often to share of their exploits and engage in lusty union often. Under Melocolias, these fiends kidnapped and enslaved many human women and developed jewelry to pacify them into obedient sex slaves for the fiend's desires. At first, Melocolias warned his followers to make sure the women would not become pregnant, for he did not want his realm littered with unwanted children. The thing is that it is already incredibly difficult and unlikely for incubi to impregnate women, so much that humans thought it impossible. This is because incubi cannot autonomously reproduce due to having no souls. However, when a succubus that has lain with a virile male lays with an incubus, the succubus has some of the seed needed for reproduction still stored in her. This is then transferred to the incubus, who incubates the seed and changes it with his fiendish body. Thus when the incubus then lays with a woman, he impregnates her with the tainted seed. This remained mostly a theory, which Melocolias wanted to keep that way.
However, after a few years, this order slipped the minds of some partying incubi who then impregnated some of their slaves. The result was a half-fiend child. The taboo was committed, but the punishment never came. Melocolias was furious at first, but he saw then that these children had some aphrodisiac capability like their fiendish parent. As such, he called off his order and allowed the women to be made pregnant. Their offspring would then be shackled to be made into tomorrows sex slaves. These were huncubi, a devilish mix of a sex demon and a human. Since they were only half sex-demon, they only inherited the aphrodisiac effect of their demonic ancestors and still retained mostly human qualities. The huncubi were thus introduced to the world, but not as free people. to this day, Melocolias keeps them chained with magic jewelry, making them cattle like their mothers.
Society[edit]
Huncubi were originally intended to be slaves by the will of Melocolias, males being used for physical labor and females being used to work in brothels. Most accept this as normal and some are pierced with special earrings or shackled with an enslaving ring to keep them ignorant of freedom. Some have tried uprising but to no avail due to the powerful influence of the jewelry. There is evidence that huncubi have actually escaped this horrid practice in scant numbers but no one really knows to where or how many. Some huncubi get to live with their father, who is likely Melocolias or one of his goons. These are then trained by incubi to make the most out of their demonic ancestry and are considered nobles. They tend to grow with limited awareness, often ending abusing other huncubi. These aware huncubi, however, are also usually the ones with the best chance of escaping.
