Description

The origins of the succubus are clouded in mystery from many centuries ago where their popular tales first arose, yet it is widely believed that succubus are spirits of women that suffered by the hand of a lover. Be it betrayal, an unwanted betrothal, the untimely passing of her lover, the succubus is the spirit of a woman scorned who has come back to take her vengeance upon an unsuspecting victim, man or woman. However the truth is that even these tales were fabricated by these cunning demons themselves. A succubus is one of the lesser demons that invades Eden from Lilith. They typically retain their feminine features of unnatural beauty. One thing noted amongst those who claimed to have encountered this entity, is that their irises are always a pale silver; as if the color of such seeped out of their body alongside the rest of their life.

A succubus is raised to never know true love. Though not all is lost for this creature. Legends have told that succubus have a means to salvation; should the succubus find herself in meaningful connection, be it an earnest friendship or a true romance, their soul will undergo a change by casting out what voidal influences inhabit them. Effectively this destroys the soul of the succubus and will most likely leave their new-found love heartbroken.

Behaviour

At first, the succubus will appear to be charismatic and kind. They may have even taken on some hobbies or developed talents such as painting and woodcarving in order to not only impress their victims, but to blend in with society. However, when she has decided to enact her revenge upon the victim, all reason is lost; she is aggressive, ruthless, and heartless. They are manipulative and coy creatures.

The succubus will ensnare her victim by luring them into a picture-perfect romance; one of joyous memories and laughter. It is at the moment that the victim trusts them the most, that the succubus will then take their life, thereby endowing her with the body’s life force to sustain its presence amongst the mortal realm, able to turn the power of ones soul into nourishment to maintain their presence without a direct source. At the moment of betrayal, the succubus’ beauty fades; all one will see is a feminine silhouette, featureless and blackened, intangible.

Abilities

A succubus possesses an entrancing beauty that often disguises her true nature, making her appear harmless and alluring. Merely being in her vicinity slowly saps an individual's vitality, manifesting as weariness and aching joints. However, this effect, though debilitating, is not lethal. Those who engage with a succubus are soon enveloped in an intoxicating euphoria, their judgment clouded by overwhelming adoration and ecstasy. Yet, her deadliest weapon is her touch. Drawing a victim into a prolonged embrace, she can bring about their end. Should one resist her advances, they will face her more violent methods of ensnarement.

Charisma: The succubus’ unnatural beauty lends them the ability to be rather disarming and perceived as harmless. This might make men defend her in perils or a cautious guard to let them pass.

Soul Drain: A succubus has a means to slowly absorb the force of soul of all within 10 meters of her. Though she choses her targets carefully. This ability must be used to maintain themselves. Anyone affected with this ability will feel a little downtrodden and experience a -2 in strength rolls. An intelligence roll of 18+ needs to be rolled by the target to perceive soul drain happening, this can be done once.

Ecstatic Illusion: Succubi are able to heighten euphoria for their victims; the victim that spends time with the succubus is overwhelmed with feelings of adoration and ecstasy, clouding their judgment.

Death’s Embrace: The succubus’ means of killing an individual is usually via touch; she will ensnare her victim into a prolonged embrace that ultimately leads to their demise. Any resistance will be met with far more aggressive methods. Falling for this embrace will instantly kill the victim.

Superstrength: A succubus, despite their feminine features, boasts an impressive physical fortitude. Once a succubus is discovered, they will grow their claws and fangs, able to attack in a flurry of unarmed attacks that deal 3 damage flat.
