Homebrew Alu-Fiend Species Details

Alu-fiends are the female spawn from the union between a Succubus/Incubus and another race (typically human). Naturally charismatic, this race maintains the power of presence and desire for intimacy that is characteristic of their demonic parent.

An Alu-fiend may inherit a number of physical traits from their demonic parent. Glowing eyes, a tail, claws, bat-like wings and horns are among the most common of these potential appendages. Aside from these, they ultimately appear as an exceptionally beautiful form of whatever race their other parent was. Unlike Succubi/Incubi, Alu-fiends do not have the power of shape-shifting for long periods of time. Some go to great lengths to try and conceal their origins, covering their horns and hiding their tails in public to avoid suspicion. Bolder and more boastful Alu-Fiends, however, embrace their dark heritage, showing off their abilities and publicly denouncing all who would persecute them.

Occasionally when a Succubus/Incubus seduces a humanoid, they refrain from murdering the poor soul for some reason (it's almost never through compassion; usually it's because they were slain or called elsewhere by a greater fiend before they could complete the deed). Whether it is a male humanoid or female one, both unions with a Succubus/Incubus have the potential to create an Alu-fiend. From its hellish origin, the Alu-Fiend is gifted with an innate ability to deceive and/or beguile others. They also have a need for companionship like no other race does. Like their demonic parent, an Alu-fiend craves interaction as much as they crave air. Unlike their demonic parent, however, their desire for socialization is not exclusive to sex. Any form of social interaction that their mortal half might enjoy, becomes a need as immediate as any other form of sustenance. They are practically a race of social butterflies. Because of this, sometimes an Alu-fiend or Cambion (their male counterpart) will reject their evil origins, and seek to use their powers for good.
