Enoki
- Welcome to the official Enoki page -Enoki are a 18+ species of succubus/incubus by Helixel established in 2018. That up to this day is a huge work in progress.
They are a closed species/private worldbuilding project, please do not make your own.We welcome newcomers to our community with open arms. The only requirement is that you treat others with kindness and respect. The team at the moment is slow but steadily building a whole universe for everyone to be able to indulge in, one enoki at a time.This website was designed to be seen primarily on Desktop
Enoki are colourful succubi people - They reside in a isolated part of Hell, named Eclorion, and sustain themselves mainly through harvesting souls of mortals via sexy rituals. As a result the nature of this project as a whole is 18+. However not every member of our community focus on NSFW content, there's something for everyone here!Our community is full of artists, art lovers, writers, musicians, streamers and more. If you join we hope you find someone to connect with!
Art by MLArty and ShadowPostman
This project has many flavors..but they mainly include tastes of erotica, horror, the occult, monsters, ruins, overgrown temples, dangerous monsters, rituals and hopefully friendship too.

Frequently asked questions
Can we alter our Enoki's canon body shape?Within reason, yes. We dont want you changing their makeup to make them drastically different to their original shape. But it's okay to let them shed or gain a few pounds if you want them to. Please ensure these are within natural and reasonable levels, we do not wish to make members uncomfortable with fetishistic representations of bodies. Or make them into an entirely different character from the original adopt/custom.What is forbidden to do with them?Using your Enoki to spread hateful messages, or anything similar is not allowed. The community, at the end of the day, should be comfortable with your behaviour, and if you use your enoki in any way that breaks ethical guidelines you will be contacted and corrected. So to keep it simple, please play nice!What colours are rare Enoki?Rarer Enoki tend to come in desaturated tones, so various shades of greys, whites and blacks. The less markings the more rare they are. These are not given out as adopts very often, some may be able to grab them as customs but please know solid black or white is probably off limits to community members for the moment.How does adoption/custom/reselling work?Please refer to our TOS where we specify how this works.What magics can an Enoki NOT do?Currently, beastshifting is not something they are able to achieve. They can, though, shapeshift into humanoids to allure people. Enoki follow a soft magic system where the member is allowed creative freedom as long as they respect the levels of abilities present in the community, this means no godmodding or anything outlandish for the sake of a power trip.Can I change my Enoki's hair colour?No, all Enoki's hair is always white. Greyer tones are usually sick, getting older, or not treating their hair well which is strange for their culture. They revere their hair, and its a source of pride if it's kept well. You may only see them in different hair colors when they are in human disguise, this, because they're wearing wigs to disguise themselves better.Can I adopt an exiled Enoki?Exiling is a concept that is still a work in progress. Till then, it is not available for purchase. We will keep the community posted as we continue developing the project.Can I roleplay with other Enoki when I get one myself?Yes, absolutely! But please respect others boundaries, as not every member of our community is comfortable with RP. RP is usually left out of the discord server itself but you're welcome to RP within your DMs to one another.Can I transform an existing OC into an Enoki?No, we do not work with already existing designs, both to respect the original designer and also because normally most OCs do not translate well into the enoki world.Is there a blacklist?Yes, and it is private to the admin and mods currently.Is co-owning allowed?No, co-owning is not allowed due to the technicalities in it.
TOS
By getting an Enoki you agree to the following Terms of Service;
GENERAL
Enoki are a closed species owned by Helixel and are not allowed to be created freely without the owners' expressed permission. Members are required to be 18+ to purchase an Enoki and to join and partake in the species events and discord. Nothing involving the species may be used in any blockchain-related technology; including but not limited to NFTs, cryptocurrency or future inventions in the space.Failure to adhere to this rule will result in an immediate blacklisting from the species.Please read the rules of the species thoroughly before acquiring one of your own, as you will be agreeing to these rules when you accept ownership of a design whether it be via purchase, trade or gift, etc.We ask that you keep things such as personal drama between the people involved and not drag it into our community. Regardless of how mature some subject in this species and its lore can be, we ask that you keep real life subjects such as politics, war etc. out of the community as it can be upsetting to many. Situations of art theft, rip-offs and other such situations are taken seriously and should be brought to the team with the necessary proof and information.
Ways to aquire an enoki
Official adopts through; flatsales, auctions and raffles.
Custom designs made by official designers.
Trading/selling in the community.
MYOs given by the creator. (currently not available.)
Being gifted one by a friend!
ADOPTING AN enoki
When adopting an Enoki you will get a reference sheet and sometimes a premade theme or occupation. This theme is OPTIONAL and adherence to it is up to the user.Whilst partaking in the main lore, it is also okay to have AU versions of these characters in different stories of yours.IMPORTANT: You may create AU versions of your Enoki. However, they are restricted to non-closed species only to make sure to not step on anyone's toes. (Unless said species is owned by you). When transferring ownership of your Enoki, any and all AU designs must either be nullified or forfeited to the new owner.If you want your character to know another character, you must have agreement from the owner of the other character.Creating minor characters in LORE for your character to be close to/have relations with is allowed, however you cannot make them fully fledged designs. They must remain anonymous shapes/silhouettes in any illustrative work or writing. They can't be related to other characters without the consent of the owner of other character.Upgrades are add-ons to your Enoki. An Enoki cannot be trait shifted once bought, so by purchasing it you consent you're satisfied with the traits shown. You cannot redo a design and make it lose its initial identity.
VOIDING AND UNVOIDING
There are many reasons an Enoki may no longer be part of the species, but an Enoki being voided isn't inherently bad, simply marking that they are not part of Eclorion anymore.Any person who no longer wishes for their Enoki to be part of the project can contact staff and have them officially unlisted. It is encouraged to change or rehaul the looks of your Enoki if you wish to continue using them after voiding to avoid confusion.Users who become blacklisted due to repeated rule breaking of community guidelines and ToS will have their Enoki voided by force.Voiding means that the Enoki will no longer be considered part of the species until un-voided.If you purchased a voided Enoki and want it to re-listed on the Masterlist, you can contact server mods and they’ll get you sorted out.Please mind that if this happens, they NO longer can participate on community events and worldbuilding.
RESELLING AND VALUE
ENOKI HAVE A COOLDOWN OF ONE MONTH; this means that after resold/purchased, you must wait a month to be able to resell/retrade them again. This species is not meant to be trade and sell oriented, and most Enoki stay forever with their owners. Please contact staff when rehoming an Enoki, they will carry out official sales to make it easier for you.You must sell at the price you purchased the Enoki for. Inflating the price of an Enoki when reselling is prohibited. Additional art can add to the price within reason, but not drastically increase the sale price. Non-Commission pieces WILL NOT ADD TO PRICE (this includes trades, gifts, and personal art). When an Enoki is sold, one must tell staff so the Masterlist can be updated accordingly.When advertising to sell or trade your Enoki, you must provide the original value you purchased them at and all images/art of them so the buyer can oversee the value. GIFTED ENOKI can only be traded for other characters as to not take advantage of someone's kindness.When an enoki is sold/traded/gifted, the seller/trader/gifter must please contact staff with screenshots to ensure no theft went on. A transaction is not final unless the original owner has confirmed it with staff.
In the discord server, we are happy to facilitate a sale of your Enoki via Auction or Flat sale to keep it within the interested parties of the community. We will help organise the sale with you so all you need to do is contact us for a chat.
OA AND GA ARTISTS GUIDELINES
APPLICATIONS
GUEST ARTISTS [GA] are people who are invited for a adoption season of the species, this means they are allowed to design an Enoki and sell it to the community. Openings for this role are done through the Datastream server at fixed periods of time. After a GA period is over, staff is always open to give general feedback in case the applicant wants to reapply next season. GA spots are done with the purpose of bringing fresh new ideas into the community and applying does not guarantee you a slot. Please consider our quality level and details for our references before applying, as you'll be expected to follow this same level of quality.OFFICIAL ARTISTS [OA] are hand picked by Helixel when they feel comfortable enough to have a new person join the staff. This role is given and should not be requested at random.The following applies to the GA and OA position;
Must use PayPal and EUR currency & follow the species TOS/ Guide.
Must be in the Discord Server and familiar with the enoki species to partake as GA.
Pricing and sale method will be determined by Helixel
GA slots are not permanent and participating as a GA does not guarantee a rerun. If, for any reason, a GA breaks the rules they will be blacklisted from the position.
As GA, you'll be given a limited timespan for the creation of an enoki. These timelines are strict and must be followed.
Minimum requirement of art for design: 2 Fullbodies (front + back), eye, genitalia and tongue detail + a flame and horn guide.
Minimum requirement for information in design: anything crucial for the full understanding of the design plus a personality blurb if the artist desires.
GA can be blacklisted for infringing species code of conduct and rules like any other member. If there is any unsold design while the blacklisting process ensues, that design will become property of the species and sold by the owner. All earnings then will proceed to charity.
It is encouraged to do designs with traits and features that are lacking in the community. Rarities are expected to be balanced in the designs made and prioritized.
25% of the funds earned goes to the owner of the species, Helixel. After the GA receives the money they must pay the 25% cut to Helixel via the PayPal email provided by herself. OA's have a smaller cut percentage for their permanent position.
Traits
Enoki are humanoid demons with human-like faces and anatomy but distinct demonic traits. They have long tails, pointy ears, sharp teeth, slit pupils, glowing eyes, and white hair. Common features include horns with an eternal flame between the tips, and digitigrade legs ending in clawed paws. Some may have hooves or stilted tips instead.Enoki have vibrant, saturated body colors with intricate, glossy markings that shimmer in the light, although desaturated, black, or white Enoki can also exist. At birth, they emerge colorless from the Waking Spring, with their unique colors and markings appearing after 30 minutes. Colors are entirely random and carry no specific meaning. Although Enoki lack fur or feathers, they often incorporate these materials into their clothing, sourced from lesser demons in their domain.Enoki hair is always white, with a subtle hue reflecting their body color. Their hair is sacred and immune to dyes or magical alterations, but they embrace styling and adornments like jewelry to express individuality. Hair dulling and loss of sheen, turning grayish, can occur in sick or cursed Enoki.Traits are aspects of an Enoki that are given upon design, please consider these things cannot be changed or modified. You can find all of these in the Masterlist of each Enoki.
Horns
In Enoki, the horns are classified by where they grow from in the Enoki’s head; these traits can stack and mix, creating a more elaborate horn structure. The baseline categories can be described as such;
Imp - Coming from the forehead and go in any direction therafter.
Obelisk - A single horn, or horns that point straight up.
Taur - Originates from the middle of the head - usually sweeps forward like bull horns.
Charger - Originate from back of the head - usually sweep forward and can point in almost any direction after.
Taur is the category that will most likely need a smaller Imp set in tandem with the main set, or prongs coming off the taur set to hold up the flame.There is also one modifier that can be applied to the horns called "Ornate" which refers to any deviation of the norm that makes their horns elaborate. Some of these include;
Dual or more sets of horns that are medium or large in size (very small second set does not count) must originate separately from the other horns, not branching off the initial set
Antler styled horns
Horns with lots of protrusions
Flames
Each Enoki has a flame resting between their horns, near their head. For those with multiple horn sets, the flame stays closest to their skull. The flame contains their magical essence and is not hot to the touch, feeling like a gentle flutter instead.The flame reflects their mood, changing size, crackling, or even altering shape when excited. Some more powerful Enoki can control the appearance of their flame or manifest multiple flames at once.Horns are vital for anchoring the flame. If an Enoki loses their horns (due to punishment, battle, or accident), they must use prosthetics to avoid losing their magic essence. Without horns, their energy gradually dissipates, leading to illness or death over several years.
Skin
Enoki, as denizens of Eclorion, are often created with saturated and bright-colored skin. Of course, as with any species, exceptions to this rule may happen. One can describe an Enoki’s skin by three aspects; Symmetry, Markings, and Coloration.Symmetrical Markings vs Asymmetrical MarkingsPatterns on Enoki's body are absent when they’re born from the Waking Spring. Shortly after their formation their markings, intricate dark colored patterns that contrast with their skin color, emerge on their body. While they can manifest in many different forms, there is no rarity difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical markings on an Enoki.Markings
Most Enoki are born with the characteristic shimmering markings all throughout their body, however, these are rare cases where Enoki are either formed with extremely minimal markings, or, even rarer, no markings at all.

Clarifying statements
Scars and Trait Tickets
For minor and temporary scars from injuries, owners can feel free to add them to an art piece of their Enoki, similar to adding bruises and injuries from fights in an art piece of a character. However, these scars should not be decorative in nature or permanent, which means they will not stay with a character if they are sold and should not be unnatural in shape (look at Scarification Traits for more details).If you wish to add more decorative, permanent, or extensive scarring onto an Enoki for a lore reason, please contact the administration team directly using a ticket. This is because scarring, extensive scarring, and scarification are traits on an Enoki's trait sheet and can ONLY be added by Helixel after a discussion based around the lore and development of the Enoki. These additions will include a small fee and an update to the reference that includes the trait you wish. Other ticket changes include small pieces, like tattoos, but larger trait shifts (like horns and hue shifting) are not possible.
Beast Shifting
Beast shifting is possible for an Enoki to achieve, however it is a borderline black magic spell that causes its user immense pain and fatigue upon use. This spell will allow an Enoki to take a monstrous form that is inspired by their original body for a short period of time, due to the size of the shift and the energy it takes to entirely change their form. This spell is only used as a last ditch effort by Enoki who are well-versed in the field of magic and is not used in populated areas, homes, or generally any time that extreme danger is not present. Instead, Enoki will often use ghost limb or ghost weapon summons to fight, as they easier to control and cause less strain on the caster.
Biology notes
Enoki age in an extremely slow pace in comparison to humans and lack an infancy or child stage. By birth, they are full adults. An Enoki may live eons. Elderly appearances is more of a circumstance that can happen if they have lived a long time without gaining any notable magical power over their lifetime. Well circulating, and regularly used magic in their systems quite literally keeps them looking young.
However, Enoki can still die from magick sickness, overusing energy, and predation from other lifeforms.
Enoki’s bodies are made entirely of magical energy, with no internal organs. Instead, energy originates from a core gifted by The Mantle at birth. This energy circulates like a current through their body, flowing to the flame, which directs it back into the body to sustain the cycle.
The flame's placement is critical for maintaining this energy loop. Their skeleton is coated in a film matching their essence color, while their bones are black. Exposed bones, such as spines, share the same color as their essence.
Enoki do not have working digestive systems, when they consume food it is entirely absorbed into their energy flow.
Enoki cannot reproduce, their existence is purely to syphon soul energy from mortal beings. Portion which goes back into creating new Enoki via The Mantle.
Enoki that don't harvest either eat foods infused with soul energy (often expensive and labor-intensive to prepare) or sexual energy exchange with other well-fed Enoki. As a result all Enoki unless specified otherwise will have the "soul harvester" occupation by default, as it is what they are made for. They can and do have multiple occupations within society though.
Their teeth are similar to humans, just with elongated lower and upper canines. Exceptions can always happen, though.
Enoki tails are thin, semi-prehensile, and best manipulated at the tip. They can pick up or coil around objects within a moderate size range but lack the dexterity of hands, making precise tasks like writing impossible.
Tails can support light leaning but not full body weight. Their natural shape is gently curved, with limited flexibility for tight coils. Spines at the base or tip, typically cartilage, are flexible and can lie flat. Many Enoki adorn their tails with intricate jewelry and metalwork.
Enoki can shapeshift into human disguises to hunt for mortals and harvest their souls when not summoned. They access the mortal realm through torii gates and can hold this form for up to 24 hours, requiring an 8-hour rest before transforming again.
Though they appear mostly human, they retain subtle oddities like pointed ears, sharp teeth, unusual eye colors, or strange tattoos. These quirks, paired with their alluring aura, make them captivating to mortals, especially in settings like festivals, raves, or fantasy events where their uniqueness draws less suspicion.
To travel to the mortal realm, all Enoki require to either be summoned as a commonality, this can be done via rituals of the occult. Or choose to go hunting if the summonings are sparse and exit through torii gate portals. The ways these rituals are passed through generations are many. A ritual can have the objective of summoning any random Enoki - or a very specific one. A common factor of all summoning processes is that the enoki need anything that can resemble a gate/portal to come through, and a summoning circle must be present through the process. Answering the ritual is optional to the Enoki.
Enoki have natural opposites called Seraphyx. These are what we would call angels, essentially. They may be mentioned in passing within Enoki culture but as of right now, they have no visual image.
BESTIARY
In Eclorion, there are not just demons like the Enoki, but other creatures that live among them. Some are more common than others, and some may even serve as assistants or pets while others are known only in text books, murals, or statues. Please keep in mind this isn’t a list of possible pets for your Enoki. Only some are able to be tamed.
The Three Protectors of life
The Cerberi
The Guards of the Soul Sanctum
Three beasts known as the Cerberi guard the doors to the Soul Sanctum which houses The Mantle - The life source of all Enoki. Daelys' favorite, most treasured pets act as the first defence line to this precious place. Each Cerberi is contained within its own large chamber within an underground maze-like dungeon under the capital of Evantaris. Venturing down there without permission is a highly punishable offence, and you're unlikely to live to get out anyway if you make it down there.Enoki have no reason to be going down there, and the Cerberi are there to prevent anyone from getting in and will defend their chambers with their lives.
The cerberi are well known to the Enoki people, and are thought of like benevolent deities, they love them. Given that they defend the Enoki people with their lives, they are very well loved. All over Eclorion there are stone statues and shrines dedicated to their honor.The first cerberi that's housed in the first chamber before the Soul Sanctum is called The Great Maw Sagi.
The Enigma Nahum
The protectors of the lifeforce
A furious collection of ravens/magpies in one gigantic body. They will let no one pass as long as they are all breathing. They were created by Daelys to protect the source of the Enoki's power and lifeforce. One has to wonder where the parts for this creature came from, was it made from hundreds of Qwek?They have the power of speech, and can handle quite a few languages, although their voice is muddled as if lots of voices are speaking over each other. It takes a lot of concentration to hear them clearly. They are also able to stand upright and weave hallucinogenic magic, often resulting in others seeing them as morphing through eachother, or heads blending into one another.
When standing upright they gain a halo-like crown of thorns that floats above their heads.
Daemonis - Loqui / Vide / Audire
Daelys' most prized pet
The final beast that guards the source of the Enoki life force. Each neck sports an eternally burning fire mane with each of the colours that were originally bound together. The sword in their chest keeps the three souls bound in this form too. Daelys has decorated this beast with many of their banners, they seem very proud of this monster. The Soul Sanctum is kept safe with this guarding the doors.
Known fauna
COmmon
Not difficult to find, seen on a daily basis - Can be domesticated or tamed
Sukith
A lesser demon that inhabits Eclorion, they do not seem to have a natural habitat. Possibly originally summoned from other parts of hell and then cloned or copied infinitely. They act as house servants and perform a wide variety of tasks, often going about their business unnoticed by most. They can also be found skittering around the cities as some are released or escaped.A seal attached to their heads seems to allow them to understand the speech of their new masters. Since Enoki speak a different tongue than other parts of Hell.
Highland Basilisk
Usually found in the floating isle areas of Eclorion, it’s adept at climbing sheer cliffs and can easily jump from island to island. Tameable, and makes a loving domestic pet if given lots and lots of time and space to run, as well as a proper cliff to climb to keep its nails short. Colors of its accents change to match the flame of their owner.The neck frill and jowls flare when angry and can often pulse with color to warn off threats.
Svness
Small terrestrial dragon-like creature, roughly the size of a small earth dog. Perfect for lap cuddles. It doesn’t seem to possess any flame or magic energy, but instead fuels itself by eating the charred bones of other skeletal creatures.Their base coat can come in a few muted tones that blend into their environment, when threatened it lets out a long tired hiss, shakes its mane and it’s tail sways upright behind it.They can be kept as pets, but require a large amount of food and it will beg for more. Hope you have a lot of time to go hunt for bones, and space for food storage. It does possess a venom of sorts, it can cause an allergic reaction in Enoki, but nothing too serious. Venom tooth caps can be used to prevent a nibbly Svness from being a nuisance.Their accent color (eyes, forehead marking, nose, scaled legs, and hood markings) change color to match that of their owner, but in the wild and unbonded they can range in any color.A special collar is required for them while on walks, as they are very adept at wiggling out of any standard pet collars.
Praxi
Praxi is an umbrella term for a creature born of a random collection of bones, held together by coloured goop. There is an almost infinte number of different types and combos of Praxi out there as long as the bones are available and the right conditions to birth one.
This particular combination is an undead mixture of a cat and a stork, a great runner but a a mediocre flyer.When in flight it flecks its goop everywhere with each flap. In the wild it can take on many colors, the bones shift as well depending on their lifestyle. Black bones indicate it has been severely charred at one point, perhaps lived in the magma wastes?
Wastau
A gentle quiet herd animal a lot like cows. Can sometimes be seen sporting a torii gate on their backs as decoration during events or ceremonies. Can be used as mounts, pets, or a fluffy bed. Just look at that mane and tail!They do have eyes and a mouth, but only tend to bare their chunky teeth when they feel threatened.
Vergu
A common drake that comes in various muted colors. As with most other creatures able to be bonded with by Enoki, the accent and flame color changes to match their owner. Usually trained to assist in building structures, or guarding homes/territories. Able to carry things with its upright stance and large clawed hands.They have gyroscopic heads which enables them to keep their head perfectly level and still while walking. They are very mild mannered and gentle, usually love chin scritches.
Abyssal Glider
They are used to glide from floating islands, cliffs, across medium sized bodies of water, sea stack to sea stack etc. They cant fly long distances as they don't flap their wings. But the gliding is very very handy if there is enough high ground to do so! They can also make a decent land mount, but require more rest as their arms were not made for long distance running.
They originate from the floating islands in the east, their natural habitat is the cliffs/bases and the gigantic seemingly bottomless the floating islands rose up from long ago. They dig caves in the sides of the land and nest inside there. They can also be found on waterfalls and other cliffs, clinging to the sides with their claws.
They got their name from being able to glide freely and effortlessly across the abyss-like caverns that surround their natural habitat, the floating islands rose up from the ground below a long time ago.The gliders are flocking animals, and can spook easily if approached too hastily.
They are omnivores and will eat plant matter when there is no meat/grains available. As such they do have rows of teeth within their beaks, and a small pharyngeal jaw inside their throat to handle more tricky prey that need to be swallowed whole.
Their calls tend to be loud, when in a flock each member echos the last one to call so it often sounds like the sound is bouncing around a cave.They lay 5 eggs per year, and tend to mate for life with their chosen partner.
They can take one Enoki only on their back, the Enoki must pack lightly so they don't weigh the glider down too much.
QWEK
The little shits of the Enoki world, Qwek are mischievous and sassy. Roughly similar in intelligence as a regular corvid on Earth, except it has opposable thumbs. In the wild their scaled sections vary in colour, but often when paired with an Enoki it will match their owners flame colour.Feather colourations are about as varied as Earth corvids as well.
Tsunolope
A small creature resembling an earth hare, it has longer claws and two sharp horns in space of eyebrows. They also sport sharp fangs and a forked tongue. They come in many coat colours that are pleasing to the eye but usually stay somewhat muted to blend in with the wilderness. Its tail is a lot larger than a normal rabbit or hare and is often silky smooth if its in good condition and well fed. Often used as messengers between Enoki as they are super swift, agile and difficult to catch. You can rent a tsunolope if you need one in many cities and towns if you need to reach a friend in a hurry.
Byun
A relative to the Tsunolope, it has been bred to be smaller and in more coat colours and patterns. They have three eyes, small horns and sharp fangs. They also sport small curved dew claws on their back hocks. They tend to be more docile and relaxed than their larger cousins and make great lap pets.[ Image will be replaced and updated as they no longer sport a flame ]
Orzoz
One of the smallest lesser demons. is often found in pantries and attic spaces, they congregate, chatter to eachother, and rifle through peoples belongings. Generally a pest that will eat your stored foods and re-arrange your trinkets.
Kupa
Small jelly-like clumps of magic energy, they’ve gained sentience after collecting small bits of debris around them. A lot like the common Moth on earth, they are drawn to large power sources or light sources. And are commonly found at night time. A lot like jellyfish, they dont really have a lot going on in there or any sense of direction, lights are on but no-bodies home sort of thing.Can be seen in large groups floating in forests, or near magically charged locations such as waterfalls, shrines, temples or other places of interest.
Uncommon
Not as hard to find, you may see a few in your lifetime - very difficult to tame but not impossible once done right.
Togoth
Another type of lesser demon, likely cobbled together from other species found in Eclorion. Over the many centuries many have practiced summoning magic or the combining of creatures. So many different lesser demons exist.Bonded Togoths often wear a blindfold to keep their tempers in check. They are happy doing whatever their owners ask of them, but they excel in lifting heavy objects and acting as bodyguards.
Grymmox
Roughly the size of an earth bus, this creature can serve as a mount for multiple Enoki in one go. Relatively fast on land, and a strong swimmer when its required, these creatures are often used to move large numbers of Enoki at once. The elaborate scarves are usually tokens of thanks given to the creature for their service.They may be a predator in the wild, but are sentient and capable of a lower level of speech.Certain members build friendships with some Enoki towns/villages, and a beneficial relationship is formed for that community. Will often serve as a protector of that settlement as well.
Shiigami
The Shiigami are a very large cat/foodog like creature. They are loyal, extremely protective and will not tolerate anyone coming close to their chosen bonded Enoki if they sense foul intentions. When unbonded or wild they are usually various shades of grey with white essence. Once bonded the essence colour swaps to match that of their new Enoki owner. Building trust with this pet can be difficult and takes time. However once you have put in the effort and suffered a few bites, the trust forming results in their coat colour slowly changing over time to match that of their owners. The colour is usually a lot more muted than the Enoki's colours but once completely coloured this creature will protect them with their life.
The ropes on these creatures can be changed but are usually always present in some manner. Their fluffy manes and long tails require daily maintenance with brushing to avoid becoming matted.The stripes on their body may vary but are usually fairly organic looking.Statues of Shiigami are often seen guarding entrances to houses, temples, or other places that someone feels they need protection from unwanted attention.
They are usually adorned with real ropes and coins that resemble a collar, the coins are thanks to the creature for the protection.
RARE
Hard to find, but there can be more than one of them - cannot be tamed or domesticated
Lahmfshi
The Enoki version of a hell hound. Like your classic hellhound they guard important Enoki landmarks in the mortal realms, such as portals the Enoki use to travel which include certain graveyards, and other locations of interest. (This type of travel is not for summoning, purely for pleasure or hunting if they don’t get summoned much)They also carry out some of the dirty work for Enoki, like collecting debts that mortals have not paid yet or reimbursed properly. The Enoki generally view them with a tinge of fear, as they are important to their world and react somewhat unpredictably. They tend to travel in packs.
They range in sizes but their adult size is large enough to pick up an average human and carry them off tightly secured to their chests/stomachs. Their skin is slick due to lots of smooth interlocking scales and a smooth skin covered belly. Their insect leg shaped ribs can be used to grab and hold prey. They are not kept as pets due to their high-strung temperament, and are usually loyal only to their creator the Enoki ruler.Cypher commands a legion of stolen Lahmfshi. Because she is cursed to be trapped in limbo, they are loyal to the highest power/summoner which happens to be her in that situation.
Temple Beast
Found usually near shrines, ruined temples either abandoned or in use. They are attracted to the energy these places seem to give off. Temple Beasts come in various different coat and magma colours. As well as being able to vary in metal mask designs, kitsune, human, and dragon being good examples of other variants. They are capable of rudimentary speech when they feel like it, but tend to wander grounds making low chanting noises as if praying instead.Shika has a handful of these beasts wandering her temple. She has not tamed them, they were already in the ruined temple she refurbished when she got there. More have appeared since her temple to Dae has been up and running, they help maintain the peace at the grounds by doing small chores, helping her with prayers and keeping the grounds sealed from intruders who may have ill-intent.
As such they are not exactly tameable pets, they are simply there or they arent. If you provide the right environment you may attract one, but it is not guaranteed. You may also cause them to leave if their needs are no longer met.
kaoriryu
A dragonlike creature with fur and a very long tail. It sports four eyes with two sets on each side, a long neck, and a slender lithe body. A notable feature of this creature is that it grows incense sticks in its furry neck crest and hindquarters. Each beast seems to give off a unique scent when burned and the smoke tends to match that of their bonded Enoki's essence colour. They are most often used as mounts within the Elite who are closest to Dae.
They are swift and beautiful on land which is why Dae tends to give them as gifts to those they trust and like.Once burned away fully, the incense sticks will grow again in some time. Like feathers in a keratin sheath that eventually falls away to reveal the ready to burn fresh incense. They are also able to be plucked from the body if needed however this can harm the regrowth later if done too frequently.Pictured is Shika's Kao mount, Shika is not part of Dae's Elite but was gifted one of these beasts as thanks for her dedication and good work. Shika treats her gift like royalty, and they help her travel around Eclorion on her various errands.This beast has a more common cousin, the Kaorinu, which is smaller and more plentiful.
LEGENDARY
Only ever heard about through legends. Possible to find but difficult and not recommended - cannot be tamed or domesticated
Prancing Pyre
The offspring of a tigress and a dragon, they are known for their ferocity and magical prowess.
Although generally well-mannered and good natured, it's best not to cross them, for they've earned the nickname pyre for the corpses they've left in their wake.
A legendary creature, said to wander the wastes surrounding [enoki city name]. It feeds off of stolen soul energy, picking off weaker Enoki that wander too far, get lost, or even mortals who somehow made their way to that layer of hell (A very rare occurrence, usually means some Enoki screwed up bad!). A very fast runner, it can slink in and out of their city at night with ease. The more energy it collects the larger it becomes, thus becoming an object of great desire for Enoki willing to try and find it to harvest them. So far none have succeeded.
MYTHS
Rarely ever seen, if at all, during an Enoki’s lifetime. Usually only ever one exists. - cannot be tamed or domesticated
Enoch
The enoki ruler Daelys’ faithful companion and messenger. They are an automaton that doubles as a vessel for Dae to possess. Does not leave their side often, but when they do, they are on strict official business. The incense they carry smells of sage. Daelys can possess Enoch if they so choose to, and wander around un-bothered by many. Because most Enoki do know they are Dae’s messenger, they treat them with respect and space.
Fluffy
The creature come to be known as “Fluffy” is a local myth, some Enoki have had encounters with this creature. It is said that its features seem like something from another world, it does not seem native to Eclorion.However over time they seem to have shifted over time, more recent sightings of the critter report that it seems to have shed or morphed some of its features now resemble things more common in Eclorion, some features that are unsettling the locals, saying it’s trying to become more like them.It seems to have chosen a large library to hide in, visitors to the library report a feeling of being watched when browsing the gigantic shelves. Sometimes hearing a skittering behind them . It’s blank eyes always watching.One brave librarian Enoki claims he has fed it leftovers and managed to keep it from gnawing on his prized books in return. Perhaps it can be bargained with?
Eclorion
Eclorion is a hidden bubble dimension in a lesser-known part of Hell, sealed off from the main underworld. Created by Daelys, it serves as a refuge and society separate from Hell's depravity. Spanning a vast, diverse landscape, Eclorion features familiar and alien biomes, including lush forests, volcanic wastelands, poisonous swamps, snowy mountains, and floating islands.The land hints at a forgotten past civilization, with ruins and massive beast skeletons repurposed by the Enoki as temples, dwellings, and markets. These relics define Eclorion’s architecture and culture.
Evantaris
Evantaris, a massive island city and Eclorion’s capital, houses thousands of Enoki, including the ruler’s residence and the Upper Echelons. Three bridges connect the city to other areas, such as the floating islands to the East.Surrounding waters are black and murky, save for the seven magical rivers that flow into bays. These rivers infuse life into the world, reanimating skeletal remains into creatures called Praxi, often formed from mismatched bones.
The Soul Sanctum
The Soul Sanctum houses The Mantle, a giant mass of writhing souls contained within the "Dark Cage," a massive ribcage deep beneath Evantaris. This magical core fuels all Enoki life and magic. Souls instinctively struggle to escape, creating energy the Enoki draw upon.The Mantle is secured by powerful spells, chains, and curse slips, which can only be undone by a specific weapon hidden in Eclorion. Its chamber is guarded by the Three Cerberi, with access strictly limited to Daelys and a few trusted confidants. If the souls were released, the Enoki would cease to exist.
Waking Spring
New Enoki emerge from the Waking Spring, a vast underground pool fed by magic and soul energy leaking from The Mantle. Enoki initially appear colorless, gaining their bright markings and colors upon contact with the atmosphere. Yellow flames skim the pool’s surface, which new Enoki instinctively capture with their horns. Attendants are present to guide them as they adjust to their new lives.
Reproduction
Enoki do not reproduce like mortals; instead, they rely on harvested soul energy. They lack reproductive organs and cannot impregnate or be impregnated. Their genitalia exist solely for soul harvesting, and all Enoki are adults from the moment they are "born."Souls fully consumed by an Enoki are drawn to the Soul Sanctum, deep beneath Eclorion's capital, where they merge into a massive energy sphere called The Mantle. When new Enoki are needed (due to death or disappearance), The Mantle releases soul energy into the Waking Spring, creating new Enoki. These are often formed from a blend of multiple souls rather than a single one.This process ensures the Enoki population remains balanced without intervention from their ruler. When an Enoki dies, their body disintegrates, leaving only bones, and The Mantle releases new soul energy to maintain equilibrium. Newly formed Enoki emerge from the Waking Spring with little to no memory of their past mortal life. Some may experience fragmented, dreamlike visions of their former existence, but this is rare and not guaranteed.
Daelys' Palace
Daelys, the creator and ruler of the Enoki, resides in the heart of Evantaris, surrounded by walls to keep the public out. A massive sword splits the palace in two, extending into underground caverns. Access is restricted to high-ranking individuals or those with an invitation, typically accompanied by a servant of Daelys. Inside, the palace features white and purple décor.
Skao Tharia Bay
To the west lies Skao Tharia, a city devoted to training the most skilled Enoki warriors. Although the Enoki are peaceful, they still need to defend themselves. Enoki who survive the dark ocean journey to Skao Tharia are trained by Vyper, a legendary figure in ancient battles, learning both magic and combat with weapons like swords and kanabo.
Night Markets
Evantaris is always bustling, with the Night Markets being a central part of Enoki social life. Enoki gather here to barter, sell, perform, socialize, and enjoy food. It's a lively space for exchanging goods and connecting with others.
The scene includes hundreds of stalls and shrines, with Daelys' Palace visible in the background.
Overview
Just like any world, there is numerous different biomes for enoki to travel through. Green grass and blue skies are rare sight for travelers. Travellers often camp in these places since its safer, the open nature of the plains offer less places for fauna to ambush from. Giant skeletons of the old ones offer some shelter.
CUlture
Enoki live in a unique, isolated section of Hell, where their society is peaceful and pleasant despite their environment. Mortals are not allowed in Eclorion unless in soul form, stripped of free will. Bringing a mortal back unharvested is a major taboo. Enoki are content in their isolated realm, which is as vast as the mortal world, allowing space for all types of Enoki and lesser demons.
Magic
Magic is central to an Enoki's life in Eclorion. The realm is filled with cursed libraries, housing both ancient and newly discovered materials from across the universe. Many Enoki bring knowledge from other worlds to enhance their species. Magic study is a passion for Enoki, and through intense study, some develop random traits, such as extra eyes, mouths, wings, limbs, or spines. These changes can be influenced by their magic studies but are largely random.
There are exclusive libraries for the upper echelon of Enoki, including rare materials owned by their ruler. The largest library, located in Evantaris, is maintained by a dedicated staff who oversee books, scrolls, and practical magic study spaces.
Relationships
Enoki form deep, lasting bonds, whether platonic or romantic. They embrace a wide spectrum of sexual orientations and gender identities. While some prefer solitude, most enjoy socializing, partying, and forming connections. Marriage is uncommon, and polyamory is standard. As succubi/incubi, they have an open, accepting attitude toward relationships.
Newly formed Enoki are often welcomed with parties by friends. Families, if formed, are always found families, as Enoki cannot be biologically related. Though deep connections are possible, they never form blood relations. Social hierarchy exists, with the upper class tending to stay within their own circles, though common and middle classes mix more easily.
Food and Drink
Enoki don’t need food or drink, as they sustain themselves with collected souls. However, they enjoy certain delicacies for taste, with alcohol being a particular favorite. Rice wine, similar to sake, is especially popular.
The most popular Enoki alcoholic beverages are Glowing Temper and White Blood, both commonly traded at markets.
Food can also be infused with soul energy, consumed by Enoki who don’t harvest souls, the sick, or on special occasions like festivals or funerals. Communal meals, like hot pot, are beloved and often shared in group settings.
Clothing & Apparel Design
Enoki blend western occult and Japanese aesthetics in their clothing and home decor, though they are free to express individual styles. Kimono are especially popular, available in various designs and materials.
Enoki who have spent time in the mortal realm may collect items, embracing different cultural influences or media in their personal fashion choices and home decor.
Metals in Eclorion
Enoki often use their equivalent of gold or silver in their metalworking. Imbued with magic, these metals can bend to the user’s body for efficient prosthetic use or to create comfortable accessories. The goods made using this method often go for a high price and can be altered to different aesthetic uses, either through engraving, burning the surface of the metals, or mixing the metals together to achieve a rose gold effect.
Currency
Enoki society does not regularly use currency, as most Enoki operate on a bartering system in their daily lives. However, some luxury goods (like prosthetics and weapons) are paid for using Tolar, their official currency. Since Tolar is rarely used, most Enoki either use smaller coins to create talismans or collect them to enjoy the variety of engravings present on their faces.
Amputation
Like humans, Enoki are not invulnerable, and can lose their limbs in a variety of different ways. While the loss of other body parts only minorly impedes magic usage, the loss of a horn, for example, is a grievous injury that makes magic impossible to use and greatly affects their lifespan through sicknesses, flame instability or flame loss. As such, prosthetics are a common sight within Enoki society and each one is custom crafted for its user, including horn prosthetics.However, in extreme cases, parts of an Enoki’s body can be sealed as punishment for criminal acts. These limbs can be earned back through community service, but even then some Enoki will choose to continue on without the limb, using a prosthetic in their place. Since there are no other visual markers for a criminal, Enoki that have committed petty crimes or are on their way to atonement are allowed to walk freely among the populace with no judgement. However, Enoki who have committed more serious crimes and are unrepentant instead have less elegant prosthetics that aren't tailor made, making open criminals easy to identify.
