Nihilium 7th

Yeah. I think I should explain the kind of city he is from. The character in question is "Lictor of the Law" meaning he's in charge dishing out punishment and what not. The city he lives in is a what you would call a "Socialist Utopia". Everyone gets a the same amount of money from the royal coffers depending on which level of the city they are from. The "lowest" in this city lives like gentry compared to almost every other country. In addition to that it is an extremely liberal city in terms of sex compared to lets say America today. Homosexuality is the norm, a person is considered an adult the moment they can naturally produce children and go through a coming of age ceremony; and polygamy is not only legal but encouraged. A sexual deviant would have to do something extremely sick and irredeemable (Necrophilia or Pedophilia are examples.) Prostitution in this city is seen as deplorable in this city because it is different from working in a brothel or a sex temple. Prostitutes basically not only get money from the 'Coffers' but go around gaining extra money by servicing those who are married and don't want to get caught in a brothel.
Not sure if that synopsis helps.
As for the father. His children are the last family he has because his tribe was killed because of a power they genetically had. Those who captured him (This takes part in a different city than the one above) wanted slaves who possessed their power so he had him impart a piece of his soul to girls(having sex imparts the greatest amount ones souls) old enough to get pregnant but young enough to be brainwashed. In the process both the girls and their children gained the power.
I do plan for the book to be sold as a fantasy book akin to ASOIF or the Book of The New Sun series. So dark and not so much from younger readers.
