Homebrew Concubus Species Details

A fiend that can be found on all layers of the nine-hells, the Concubi usually represent desire which often manifests as lust but can also show itself in other forms though this is fairly uncommon in the overall scheme of the race. They innately have a gift for illusions and trickery, being able to shapeshift and their words having a minor hypnotic effect to them, this fact makes them ideal for being infiltrators and even assassins which many higher ranking demons will end up using them for. Concubi have no true gender but will often take up a male or female identity simply for convenience, this is why the terms Succubus and Incubus were created. 

Most Concubi end up forming contracts with Archdevils to be given permission to enter the prime material for extended periods of time, usually a part of this agreement is any soul they seduce is forfeit to the Archdevil as a type of payment to continue living on the material. though there are some cases of succubi being summoned to the material and never being returned, this is typically due to them not being able to fulfil their summon request. Succubi summoned to the material without the boon of an archdevil often latch onto powerful figures such as kings, heroes and so on to sustain their own desire for power.

Concubi aren't well known for their combat as they would rather let those they have seduced fight for them, though if forced a Concubus can be a tricky fight as they are typically quite mobile especially if they drop their disguise and are now able to once again use their ability of flight.

Physical description - Devil with no one face

Concubi have a humanoid appearance by default, though they have a distinct set of horns, wings and a tail. their skin comes in a variety of colours ranging from deep reds to deathly whites. the most notable thing of a concubi is their inconsistent facial features which seem to change ever so slightly every time you look away from them. their builds are often slender and on the taller side though they can be muscular or short depending on the preferences of others or even themselves.

 

Names - identity or disguise?

Concubi always have an infernal name, this will be the name they have written in all of their contracts though they quickly grow to despise their original name and will instead adopt names of other races on the material realm. While they can adopt any name from any race, they usually take up a human or elvish names. it's also common for them to have numerous aliases that they operate under making the name you are told unlikely to be their true adopted name.
