Homonculus

Overview
A homunculus is a rare creature that came into being from the fusion of a symbiote and a host. Once they are bonded as one the symbiote fuses with the host very being. The homunculus is born from the union, a creature with it's own mind and emotions, only holding fragments of memories of their past lives. Homunculus can have many different personalities depending on the symbiote and the host that it fuses with, however all Homunculus are driven towards chaos.

Symbiote
Symbiote are the spawn of the god of Chaos, Danyua. Minions to spread disaster, destruction, and suffering, the symbiotes appear in places with extreme negative energy. They are drawn to beings for many reasons, but they only choose those that might offer them adventure and help to spread chaos throughout the world. Once they fuse with another being, the Symbiote increases the abilities of the being making them stronger and faster than they normally were. The Symbiote can also regenerate the host when they first fuse, making them a picture of health and strength.

The change
The change can be as painful as a thousand needles stabbing into one's flesh or as amazing as an orgasm depending on the symbiote and how well the host takes to the alien infestation. It is also common for a host appearance to change so much that they become unrecognizable to most who knew them before the change.

Marriage and reproduction
Homunculus aren't known to marry because it would never work. Their violent nature and need for chaos would ruin any and all relationships. Homunculus can breed, however their children will be of the host nature. Example, if a Homunculus was first human than their child will be born a human. The Symbiote merges with a host, but has no effect on any offspring, however it is known for a Homunculus to enlist the aid of another Symbiote to fuse with a child.

Magic
Homunculus are natural shifters who can easily shape their fingers and toes into claws as well as twist their elbows razor sharp. Some Homunculus have been known to also grow tails with barbed tips for extra damage during battle, as well as an exoskeleton of armor to decrease the impact of blows against them. However, this is just a small amount of their powers. If a homunculus drinks the blood of another being, they can then shift themselves into said being quickly and easily. The amount of blood has to be at least a large cup full in order for them to be able to manage the shift.

' NOTE: Homunculus are not available to create upon start up. They can only be created IC through a quest moderated by a staff member. During that quest a staff member will craft a tale where the player's character can encounter a Symbiote and possibly fuse with it.  '
