Demons

Demons are a parasitic race that are relative newcomers to Aphrodisia compared to the older races such as elves and dwarves. Demons are, on average, the most magically powerful race in Aphrodisia, but are relatively few in number with only about 10,000 members in total.

Demons, when not disguising or altering themselves via their magic, have rubbery-gray skin with no body hair. Demons can be both male and female, but the more magically powerful subclasses, the Succubi and Incubi, also have bat-like wings.

The Thirteen Queens are always drawn from the Succubus subclass. The Emperor or Empress, however, has no such requirement and has been filled by demons with no magic whatsoever.

Demon Reproduction

Demon reproduction is one of the most unique of the races. Demons draw their magic through the consumption of sexual essence of the other races, with their power gain affected solely by diversity rather than volume. Once demons have built up enough essence, they can choose to expend it by magically synthesizing offspring.

The higher the total demon population, the more essence is required. Generally this means only the wealthiest and most powerful demons have the opportunity to create offspring, create wealth inequality amongst the demon empire.
