Homebrew Incubus/Succubus Species Details

Early History

For a long period of history, Incubi and Succubi were considered demons that only lusted for power. But in more recent centuries, it has been brought forward that Incubi/Succubi society was more similar to Changeling society, hiding their identities to avoid persecution. They integrated themselves into society and to reduce their demonic urges, consumed positive emotions from other humanoids. As time slowly went on, the species evolved to be able to sustain themselves and thus, no longer need to feed on emotions. After this happened, Succubi and Incubi were integrated fully into society as another race, however due to the years of persecutions, their numbers are few and far between. Now they serve as many unique roles in their society due to their mastery of charm magic and persuasive nature.

Culture

Due to the long standings of working with both emotions and sexual desire, the species are very open to both their young and others about romantic and sexual relationship and because of this, most Succubi and Incubi have a healthy relationship when it comes to both. Not only that, but the entire race is very open to sexualities and Gender identities as they understand that both are integral to a person's identity.  
Most members of the species live in family groups or if alone, are in close contact with their families. The reason for this is that Succubi/Incubi view all relationships as something vital for survival. So no matter what form of relationship, Succubi/Incubi will cherish and support it as much as possible.

Appearance

The appearance of  Succubi/Inucubi is very similar to that of Tieflings, with long horns, colorful skin colorations, and tails, however they do differ in a few ways. The Succubi/Incubi species' most unique trait are small hole-like vents that appear on their bodies that when opened, release a smoke that allows them to charm others. 
As for more beauty standards, they prefer how one's body is naturally. This means that in their own race, they are deterred from muscles or athletically built bodies. the reason for this is that it takes more time to change appearance when one's body has muscles in the way and thus was dangerous in the past. because of this the race doesn't work out unless necessary for their line of work and many just let their bodies take a natural root.
