And when the incubus has made its way into the prey's bed, it feeds vampirically off of the libido produced during their erotic fantasies, and during intercourse. Some are even so strong as to feed off of the very life-force of victims; when they leave, the victim is either sapped of energy, sapped of health or dead.

Origins

The Incubus is a single-gender race that serves as the male counterpart of the Succubus. Although many similar creatures exist in legend, the most famous accounts mentioning them come from Medieval legend and folklore. In particular are references from the famous Malleus Maleficarum.

Incubi were often blamed, in those times, for sexual attacks on otherwise chaste, upright, respectable women and girls in the community. And despite the undoubted sexual pleasure of the experience, it actually carried with it a stigma of tremendous shame.

The name "Incubus" itself comes from the Latin "incubo" meaning "nightmare", akin to "incubare", meaning "to lie upon" (a combination of the Latin "in" meaning "on top", and "cubare" meaning "to lie", denoting a nightmare or a dominant sex partner).

Ironically, elder incubi are actually incapable of reproducing (there are even accounts remarking on the coldness of the incubus' penis). The only means by which they may produce children is to deposit a man's semen into a woman, after sleeping with that man as a succubus, and collecting the man's semen. The union of sperm and egg produces a child tainted by the creature's touch, a Cambion.

Appearance

Due to the fact that many of them are shapeshifters, the appearance of an Incubus is often varied. Some like to take on a more human appearance (or "human mien"), while others retain a fully demonic mien (horns, wings, tail, etc.). Still others are obliged to combine the two.

However, no matter how their appearance changes, an Incubus is always handsome and physically appealing. Ugly Incubi simply do not exist in nature. Even while in their normal form, most Incubi are highly attractive.

And their fashion is no different. Often, they wear very luxurious fabrics; handsome to look at, and pleasant to the touch. Likewise, their fashions are typically sexually provocative, hinting seductively at their handsome physiques. That is, when they decide to wear any clothes at all.

Behavior

A human face conceals a very inhuman monster...

Incubus behavior is based primarily on its sexuality. Their nature is proud, hedonistic and charismatic, and they are always on the hunt for potential female prospects. They scoff at ideas like virginity, celibacy and monogamy. Though, each has his own approach.

Some are reclusive, disdaining social company, and preferring the most guarded secrecy until the mood suits them, to feed, or to engage in...other pursuits. Others prefer to interact with potential prey in more gregarious settings, like in parties, and at brothels (as prostitutes or patrons), to feel out the people to whom they feel the greatest attraction.

However, incubi have little respect for women. Aside from going out to rape them at a whim, incubi often keep a harem of runaways or prostitutes waiting at their lair; they keep house for the lazy incubus, and often put up with any change in mood, in exchange for just one more night of erotic pleasure.

Moreover, many succubi have a great dislike for other males (even sometimes other incubi), which prevents them from being friends, let alone taking them as lovers. Some simply find subjects of the same sex to be unappealing, while others cannot engage sexually with them for fear of death. Either way, a homosexual or bisexual succubus is nearly unheard of. It is also rare for an incubus and a succubus to engage one another sexually.

Abilities

An incubus is devastatingly handsome to look upon by nature. They are the peak of physical fitness. They also possess a shapeshifting ability, which lets them change their appearance to match nearly any standard of beauty (even, sometimes, with the capability to turn into an succubus); this same capability allows many to rapidly regenerate from injury. What's more, they can psychically perceive what sexually attracts and pleases others; this same psychic sense allows them to perceive the sexual thoughts of others.

Using what they know, the incubus speaks with a silver tongue, giving them an air of charm and wittiness that is nearly unmatched.

And when the incubus has made its way into the prey's bed, it feeds vampirically off of the libido produced during their erotic fantasies, and during intercourse. Some are even so strong as to feed off of the very life-force of victims; when they leave, the victim is either sapped of energy, sapped of health or dead.
