Cubus

**"Cubus"** is the general, overarching term for succubi and incubi. This page covers the species as portrayed in The Chaste Ubiccubus.

Cubi are flirty and primarily prey on human beings of the opposite gender, since they share many physical features and thus make for easy targets. They're not naturally attracted to their own kind and it rarely happens that a succubus and incubus fall in love.

Even though they're corporeal, they're categorized as Hell spirits and males are able to take on the form of a ghost.

Because cubi are unapologetically sex-driven and never deny the invitation to engage, they're not respected by humans or the mythical, and are one of the most despised demons within religious communities -who actively try to exterminate them. Cubi are unbothered by their bad reputation and don't -or can't- change their ways.

They look mostly human, but have sharp nails, a full set of fangs, bright-coloured eyes, and a long, black devil-like tail with a heart-shaped gemstone imbued in the tip. These come in differing shades of red, pink, or purple. The more powerful the cubus, the bigger the gem.

They don't have auricles; and their ears are always covered up by their hair, which trails down their neck or over their back. Their bodies are fit and well-shaped, and they're considered attractive by humans, though some people are less charitable and would describe them as "trashy".

## Succubi

Succubi are female cubi.

They're demons with a one-track mind, who survive by stealing the life force of other creatures through intercourse; or the taking of spermatozoa. Having that said, protected contact, female targets, or males with a low sperm count are not appreciated. They're able to eat human food as well, but this gives them little sustenance.

They usually target humans to satiate their needs, opposed to other mythical creatures, and are a notorious species that many men freely engage with, if only because they think there's no notable drawback in doing so once or twice.

Victims will feel exhausted to the point of immobilization. To repeatedly get involved with a succubus worsens one's mental health and accelerates the ageing process, making it impossible for any mortal to take a succubus for a wife. Unlike their male counterpart, creating offspring isn't an instinctual urge. Since they can control their own pregnancies and cubus males need them to have offspring at all, half-demons born from cubi aren't all that common, unlike what is believed. Warlocks and witches are believed to be the offspring of succubi.

Succubi are talented manipulators who'll take on any persona. They can present themselves as either naive and innocent, or wild, confident bombshells if they believe that's what their target finds most appealing. They derive great pride in persuading religious people and those who condemn them the loudest, taking it as an example of their talents.

Succubi are very feminine and tend to keep their hair long. They wear distractingly little clothing, usually made of black leather, but will change wardrobe if the intent is to swoon a man with higher standards.

### Abilities

Succubi possess a few supernatural powers and traits:

Succubi have eternal youth.
Succubi don't have body odour.
 Holy defeat
Succubi can easily be killed through exorcism or pushed back with holy items.
Succubi are strong enough to overpower humans and large animals, though not necessarily other mythical creatures.
 Fed by companionship
Succubi need to have intercourse in order to stay alive. It greatly strengthens their powers, energy levels, and improves their mood.
There's no such thing as an unintended pregnancy; and succubi choose when to release their egg cells and carry a man's child.
 Genetic safe
Succubi's bodies have a storage function, where they can keep the genetic code of their partners for as long they think necessary, to either sustain themselves on, consider creating a child with at a later time, or gift to incubi.
Intercourse with a succubus drains their partners' life force and is an ability they cannot turn off. Men become exhausted to the point of immobilization, and to repeatedly get involved with a succubus worsens one's mental health and accelerates the ageing process.
Succubi have a static body temperature and can't perceive cold or heat. They're able to stand in burning flames, and though their flesh will perish, their skeletons will not and continues to be mobile, making fire the only type of damage that doesn't hinder a succubus.

## Incubi

Incubi are male cubi.

They are an extension of their female counterpart and considered servants in that sense. Generally speaking, they are infertile and it's the sperm the succubus collects they take and alter using their demonic influence. Having that said, they don't have intercourse for the sake of pleasure, but reproduction.

Despite being "useless" without succubi, this doesn't entail they take on the role of servant by default. They're free to pursue their own desires, though many do feel driven to serve. An extremely active succubus -who's willing to share her haul instead of using it to sustain herself- can have a community of devoted males doing her every bidding, earning her the title of "queen" and these incubi her "bees".

Though they're attractive, incubi have less of a hold on their more wary female targets and often don't bother trying to charm them. They have a magic ability that completely knocks out an already sleeping target; preventing her from waking up while the incubus assaults her body. Intercourse will always lead to a birth. Vampires are believed to be the offspring of incubi, though sometimes, the baby seems completely human.

Unlike the succubus, males survive off of blood and the raw meat of a recently deceased body. They are able to eat human food, but this gives them little sustenance.

Incubi are generally masculine with a fit physique, but can have delicate facial features. They either wear long loincloths or walk around completely naked. Since they're nocturnal and prey on sleeping women, it's deemed unnecessary to be clothed and equally a hassle for them to undress.

### Abilities

Incubi possess a few supernatural powers and traits:

Incubi have eternal youth.
Incubi don't have body odour.
 Holy immunity
Incubi cannot be killed through exorcism or pushed back with holy items.
If in the middle of intercourse, incubi will become enraged if disturbed.
 REM sleeping pill
Incubi can prevent sleeping targets from waking up by inserting dreams that excuse any sensation they'll feel in real-time.
Incubi can repair any damaged part of their body within seconds to minutes, but it requires the damage not to persist.
 Infertile male
Incubi are unlikely to have reproductive cells of their own and merely function as the carriers of sperm collected by succubi.
Incubi can turn into smoky black creatures and become faster, more agile, and incorporeal, making it impossible to get a hit on them.
 Susceptible to love
If a woman harbours genuine affection for the incubus, they'll pick up on that. It is an euphoric sensation that inclines them to return these feelings and lose the urge to sleep around.
Incubi have a static body temperature and can't perceive cold or heat. They're able to stand in burning flames, and though their flesh will perish, their skeletons will not and continues to be mobile, making fire the only type of damage that doesn't hinder an incubus.

## Ubiccubi

Ubiccubi (*"ubiccubus" pronounced: "oo-bee-kyoo-bus"*) are the offspring of succubi and incubi.

They are an unrecognized breed, since not only are almost all incubi infertile, succubi and incubi have no natural attraction towards each other and instinctually seek out non-demonic partners. The birth of one is so unlikely, the ubiccubus may be one of a kind.

They can be either gender, but are half incubus and succubus in terms of their supernatural properties and abilities. The flaws of one gender are cancelled out or watered down by the other half.

As the fullblood version of a demon that only ever delivers half-offspring, they're especially strong, and the amplification of the cubi's life draining properties categorizes the ubiccubus alongside mythical creatures that represent death. It comes disturbingly close to having the same powers as the Grim Reaper.

Ubiccubi tend to find humans the most attractive, though may also take a partner of a different species or gender depending on circumstances. They prefer targets they can directly produce offspring with, though this can be circumvented by the "Susceptible to love" and "Vitro fertilizer" ability. Even so, they don't have a strong desire to produce children like incubi do, and are more like succubi in the sense intercourse gives them energy. Their general diet consists out of blood and raw meat.

They are powerful creatures, but don't necessarily care to flaunt with that fact, leaving their lethal side unexplored. If not provoked with violence, their "Involuntary seduction" ability is the biggest disturbance they'll create within any community. This is a love spell that cannot be turned off and urges anyone who sees their face to become enamoured, though some species become enraged instead. Sexual contact with an ubiccubus is nearly always non-consensual in that sense.

It's a hassle for the ubiccubus as well, since it attracts genders and species they aren't interested in and subjects them to the unprovoked violence of creatures the ability doesn't properly work on -like other cubi. As such, they're inclined to cover up their face or make their features less visible in order to gain a moment of peace.

Ubiccubi have a strange sense of honour and wish to give as much as they take. Not only does that relate to their love making activities, but also when gifted something in general. They'll want to return the favour, though will let it go if told not to bother.

Concerning appearance, they don't look different from other cubi, except that their tail gemstone is bigger.

Ubiccubi possess a few supernatural powers and traits:
