Homebrew Flower Demon Species Details

Flower Demons

These are humanoid creatures with plant based magic. Despite their title, they are not actual demons. The name comes from their appearance and supernatural abilities. 

 

Appearance; 

Humanoid. They always have a set of horns (these horns can be any shape or size) and a long, thin tail with a plume of hair on the end. Their tails are very sensitive and are used for a large portion of their balance while walking/running. 

They always have gray/blue tinted skin. No brown/tan pigmentation (unless they have human ancestors, then it is possible). Their spines are thicker than humans and tend to stick out slightly.

Any eye color is possible, only natural hair colors though.

Flower demons are very attractive beings by nature, having beauty only beaten by mermaids. 

 

Common abilities; 

Flower demons are born with a flower type (one specific flower) they can grow this flower and its corresponding plant wherever they want. They can manipulate and control this plant and even sense vibration through the plant and its roots. 

Baby flower demons do not get their flower type until they are about 2-3 years old. 

Abilities vary from flower demon to flower demon. Common abilities include; 

• Sensing vibration/pain through their plants
• Enhanced strength 
• Pollen that can put someone to sleep if inhaled 
• Healing properties 
• High pain tolerance

 

Rare abilities; 

The rarest flower type is roses. Individuals with the rose type are known to have abilities stronger than any other flower demon, and enhanced stamina in combat. 

Deep Healing; 

This is an ability very few are given. It is the ability to cure mental illness with the pollen of the individual's flowers. Among the few that have Deep Healing, fewer have mastered how to use it. It takes a large amount of both physical and mental energy and can quickly drain or even kill an individual if used improperly. This ability is inherited and one must be born with it to use it. Other uses for Deep Healing can be minor physical wounds, sobering up an intoxicated person, and reversing the effects of brainwashing. 

 

Pure VS Corrupt; 

All flower demons are born "pure". They are relatively peaceful by nature. 

Flower Demons have an extra hormone called Hamlids. This hormone travels in their blood system and is known to deteriorate the red blood cells to function. These hormones are what connect them to their flower type and give them the abilities that go along with the plants. A healthy, or "pure" flower demon will have a healthy amount of Hamlids, balancing out their chemical makeup well. 

The hammary gland is very fragile as it sits next to the emotional part of the brain. If a mature flower demon is put through a certain amount of emotional trauma, or suffers a severe concussion, it can trigger that gland to rip, flooding the blood system with Hamlids. This is what we call "corrupt" 

This flooding of Hamlids turns them into a much stronger and powerful version of a flower demon. The corruption can also enhance their lifetime from 80-100 year to 200-400 years (most common is 250 years) 

As much as it is powerful, it is dangerous. The corruption slowly kills the flower demon, decaying their red blood cells. To cope with this, the individual has to obtain enough blood to replenish 50% of their body weight every 72-96 hours (3-4 days) 

If they do not get enough blood, they will go into manic episodes and lash out, killing anything that moves in a last attempt to gain enough blood to survive. 

 

If a flower demon under the age of 10 is put through physical or mental trauma, instead of going corrupt, they will lose their flower type, and will have little-to-no Hamlids in their bloodstream. This will lead to many other health issues such as severe asthma, weight issues, cardio/heart problems and many more. 

 

Behavior; 

Adult flower demons are known to be very territorial. If two flower demons of the same sex are living in the same area, it could cause fights. They can be territorial towards others if they are perceived as a threat, but it can be easily resolved with little-to-no violence. 

Flower demons go into their mating season in the springtime. This is the point where the males will be most aggressive and females will have severe mood swings and buy everything and spend way too much money on takeout. 

This can be an especially dangerous time of the year to be around corrupt flower demons. 

Despite their territorial nature, many flower demons are very protective and compassionate. If you earn their trust, you've got yourself a personal bodyguard. 

 

Weaknesses; 

They can feel pressure and levels of pain through their plants and flowers, so if you were to chop a vine off, it would cause the flower demon physical pain. 

Flower demons are sensitive to Ragweed plants. It is very toxic to them and can make them physically weak or even kill them if exposed to a large amount of it. 

Personal weaknesses are usually based on their abilities. 

 

History; 

Flower demons are not fond of humans. Long ago, a corrupt flower demon attacked a human civilization. As this was the humans first experience with flower demons, they were afraid it would happen again, thinking all flower demons were bad and aggressive. They began hunting the population, nearly killing them to extinction, corrupt and pure they didn't spare any they found. Many were imprisoned and used as slaves, or put into science experiments that left the survivors traumatized. After the humans were defeated, the two races decided to stay far away from each other.
