== Introduction ==
These creatures are known for their extremely powerful manipulation and horrid form of feast through the ecstasy of their victims. Whether it be turning the heart of a human to be illusioned into a steak, to planting and seeding a reality into one’s mind, dependent on their very want and desire, these demonic creatures know not of love, nor of any form of commitment outside of their ceaseless hunger to feast on the thoughts of those around them.
Reconstructed, patched up, and forcibly brought back from the grave, the undead are the leftovers of the living. Reanimated bodies, torn from the embrace of death who had their eternal rest denied by the will of twisted necromancers who wished for them to continue existing. They are feared and reviled, seen as abominations that disrupt the balance of nature itself. These individuals now lack the life force that animated living creatures normally have. Instead, they are sustained by magic and the soul who got granted to them as some sort of battery for them to keep going.

Description
|}
Succubi and Incubi are capable of becoming any person or being that their victim wishes to be with the art of illusionary work. Their innate connection to the lands of temptation and seduction itself allows them to mask real-world items for their host to perceive them as whatever they desire. Additionally, they are capable of even masking themselves, shapeshifting to befit the wants and desires of whomever they wish to feed off of.


== Infection Cycle ==
Outside of this glamor, the Succubi and Incubi look similar to the Tieflings, and Elves of the land. However, what stands out is their elongated horns that often curl backward or wave backward far beyond what tieflings usually tend to have. Alongside such, they will sometimes bear tails and pitch-black eyes with razor-sharp teeth beyond. Suited to have them tear apart their victim should they grow aware. One could say that these beings bear the form of people within the realm they’re placed in, but those who look closely cannot help but feel off by their appearances. Those who’ve interacted with the Succubi and Incubi tended to feel obligated to stay. Frozen between the two instincts of fight or flight.
Initially, to become an undead, a person of any race must first die. However, the body needs to be in a decent condition; ashes or severely decomposed remains can’t be used for any kind of revival. That being said, the body can be restored if necessary, be it due to missing pieces or open injuries remaining in the corpse. A necromancer will find the corpse and cast a spell or activate an ability to reanimate the deceased. In the process, the necromancer may choose to grant the revived individual free will or bind them as a servant, permanently making their bodies dependent on magic as their new sustenance. Depending on the soul used at the revival process, the reanimated person will retain their memories and personality they once had in life. However, if the necromancer is using a different soul, the undead’s memory may flicker, leading to phantom memories of their new soul or gaps in the person’s past life. Regardless of the soul, there’s something that will always happen, and it is the transformation into a necromantic creature, gradually losing touch with their former self.  


=== Appearance ===
Behavior
As expected from a creature brought back from death, undead typically exhibit a wide range of different characteristics from one another. Still, there’s an invariably uncanny and almost inhuman vibe to their presence and a clear lack of living warmth, as they are as cold as a corpse. Adding to this, the appearance can vary depending on the corpse's condition at reanimation and the care taken by the necromancer who reanimated them. This variability means that while there are common traits among them, each has unique features, some undead even having bare-bone limbs connected to their bodies.
Succubi and Incubi often operate in benign form. Commonly, Succubi and Incubi exist within the lands of other planets due to their magic from Gula mainly. However, there have been cases where they are capable of tapping into Sylverix, depending on their affiliations. Nonetheless, these demonic humanoids hold one large motivation; to have Succubi and Incubi survive and flourish across the realms, a motivation that was forged by the lack of life within Gula, as it grows closer to being dubbed a ‘dead planet’, alongside their insatiable greed that their home planet could not hold on its own. These beings since then, have taken up arms to spread across the cosmos in search of conquering a new home planet for them to feed, and thrive off of.


An undead's skin is noticeably paler and has more opaque hues compared to the ones they had in life. Their eyes get hazy, betraying their state of undeath, often taking darker or duller shades of their original color, the sclera of their eyes may turn yellow, an olive green, a bloodshot red, and in some cases, the eye may even take a fully rotten appearance.
The Succubi and Incubi often take the form of whatever their host desires. Offering their potential host anything they could hope to have, but never obtained. Utilizing their innate gift of placing illusionary masks onto objects, they’re able to mask real-world items, to appear, smell, sound, and taste exactly to what the host wishes. From then on, the host will fall victim to the endless loop that Succubi or Incubi hold. After the first item, a deal is struck for them, one that the host will grow hard to refuse. These deals often hold loopholes for the Incubus or Succubus to utilize, and with every deal comes more, and more costs for the host. Eventually, the host will be entrapped in a world of their desires, their very being reaching a lifeless state as their very mind is stuck in a miasma of illusions, all placed within the control of the Incubus or Succubus to feed off of to maintain their connection to Gula. Should the host ever refuse a deal, the Succubi or Incubi will reach a violent state. Removing all disguises, and utilizing the moment of surprise to kill their host if they are found alone.  


One of the most remarkable features of the undead is their inability to regenerate their bodies or age naturally, which means they’re perpetually stuck in the physical state they were at the moment of death. The cause of death frequently leaves permanent marks, which may include stitches, scars, and open gashes unless these are healed through magical means, they will remain permanently. Because of these perpetual, and most of the time permanent scars, the movements of an undead might be stiff or jerky.  
Habitat
Succubi and Incubi exist mainly within Gula; the realm that they are bound to naturally. The society they hold is akin to an Empire, with the Twin Seducers as the Emperor/Empress of the lands. However, while their political structure may be similar, their lifestyle is far from. Gula remains a home and hell for those who reside in it. It has long since been seen as a near-dead planet due to the Incubi/Succubi’s parasitical nature and now has left the land’s denizens in disarray due to the lack of food that the world has offered, leaving The Twin Seducers to send the Succubus and Incubus of the realm to find a new home to satiate their need for survival and unending greed. Succubi and Incubi outside of Gula are often those fulfilling the wishes of the Twin Seducers, scouting lands and living off of them first to ensure the amount of prey that resides in it will be sufficient for their Empire to expand.


=== Symptoms ===
Abilities
Undead have a unique biology due to their altered state. Firstly, they are entirely free from the passage of time and do not age, allowing them to remain in a state of physical preservation. Their bodies neither deteriorate nor succumb to illness, being immune to all diseases that plague the living. However, with this comes the total loss of fertility, as undead creatures cannot reproduce or create life in any form. Poison also has no effect on them, as their systems no longer function in a way that can be affected by toxins. However, the lack of regenerative capabilities means that any damage they sustain must be repaired through external means, often requiring magical intervention to restore their bodies.
Desire Incarnate: By targeting one individual within 50m, the Succubus/Incubus is capable of shapeshifting objects to fit the desires of the target. Only the target and the Succubus/Incubus can see the illusion. This spell can also be placed onto the Succubus/Incubus themselves if they wish. The target must defeat an 18+ Intelligence roll or be Charmed, attacking anyone that proves to be a threat to the Succubus/Incubus. The Succubus/Incubus can only have one Charmed individual at a time.


Another defining feature of the undead is their physical numbness. They are largely unaware of typical sensations, such as touch or pain, which might seem like an advantage in battle. However, they are highly susceptible to magic. And overtime, there has been found another effect; mind deterioration. If an undead is neglected for long enough, their minds may begin to decay. Memories become fragmented and their thoughts more chaotic, and eventually, the sense of self may erode completely. Thus, while the undead may persist indefinitely, they require constant maintenance to avoid total collapse into madness.
Seducer’s Chosen: The succubus/Incubus’ unnatural beauty passively lends them the ability to be rather disarming and perceived as harmless. Those attracted to the Succubus/Incubus’s gender must beat an Intelligence roll with a DC 12 or be pushed to defend them in perils or a cautious guard to let them pass.  


__NOTOC__
 
Madness in Paradise: If the target is Charmed, the Succubus/Incubus is capable of feeding off of them, dealing 4 damage to their target, and healing 2 HP.
 
Horror Beyond the Veil: The succubus/incubus removes all disguises. Growing into a ferocious fury. All who are charmed are stunned for one round, and paralyzed for 2 rounds. Charmed targets are unable to be charmed further when this ability is activated.
 
Hidden Ferocity: The succubus/incubus grows claws, and is capable of attacking twice. Each dealing 1d2+1 damage per swing.
 
Bound to Gula: Succubus/Incubus must feed to reside within realms outside of Gula. When they haven’t eaten in 3 IC days, the Succubus/Incubus are incapable of using Seducer’s Chosen, and gain a -2 to all Strength attacks.

Crystal Shard
An item that hails from Gula. Can be used for Jewelry.

Introduction The Succubi and Incubui’s origins remain a mystery within the lands.
