General Physical Description & Biology

Succubi and Incubi are renowned for their unparalleled beauty and sensual appearance, often tailored to the desires of those they seduce. While most resemble hauntingly attractive humans or elves, some can appear like idealized versions of other humanoid races, such as orcs, dwarves, or halflings, based on their target's preferences. Their smooth skin ranges from human-like shades (pale, tan, dark) to more exotic hues (dusky purples, midnight blues, blood reds). They have piercing, seductive eyes with colors that vary widely, including red, gold, purple, or black, often glowing faintly. Their hair is lush and voluminous, often in dark shades (black, deep red), though lighter colors like platinum blonde or silver can occur. Their wings (bat-like or black feathered) and tails are telltale signs of their demonic nature, though they can conceal these features at will, allowing them to blend into mortal society.

Succubi and Incubi do not require food in the traditional sense but instead feed on the energy derived from strong emotions, primarily lust, love, and desire. Passion provides the richest sustenance, and while they can also draw power from fear, anger, and other emotions, these energies are often less appealing. Feeding can be as simple as a kiss, but full sustenance typically involves intimate acts, where they drain emotional energy (or even life force) from their victims. This can weaken, or in some cases, kill their prey. Succubi/Incubi can control their feeding, and unless motivated by hunger, they usually leave enough life force for their target to survive.

Basic Personality

Succubi and Incubi are manipulative, seductive, and highly intelligent, traits they use to their advantage in every situation. They are ambitious and rarely serve anyone willingly, except for powerful beings like demon lords or influential mortal rulers who provide them with protection and opportunities to feed. While they are typically perceived as arrogant due to their beauty and allure, they are strategic thinkers and capable of great patience, often waiting for the perfect moment to act. Despite their pleasure-driven nature, they are cunning, often working as spies, informants, or concubines to rulers, all the while gathering information or gaining influence. They rarely love, though they are capable of it, but prefer to exploit the love of others for their own gain.

Origin and Lore

Legend speaks of Succubi and Incubi being born from the darkest sexual fantasies and nightmares of mortals. Their origins are shrouded in mystery, though they are believed to have been created to serve powerful demon lords or as divine playthings. Over time, many have broken free from servitude, operating independently as manipulators of mortal and demonic society alike.

Naming Convention

Succubi and Incubi names are often long and melodic, with frequent repetitions of letters and sounds, especially the letter "S" and "Z". These names are crafted to roll off the tongue and evoke feelings of allure and desire.
Examples include: Kilali, Sissaria, Salasson, Esseril, Zyllis, Illassia

Preferred Habitat

Any.

Society Structure

Their bodies are designed to inspire lust, desire, and fascination, making it nearly impossible for many mortals to resist their allure. Despite their enticing appearance, they possess formidable strength and agility, making them dangerous in both physical and magical combat. Because of this, they can blend into many different societies, rarely focusing on building on of their own.

RP Skills / Abilities

Succubi and Incubi have complete control over their fertility, deciding if and when they will become pregnant or sire offspring. This ability gives them immense power over their bodies and ensures that they only bear children when it benefits them.
