Homebrew Concubus Species Details
"I danced with one who was more or less than human, and who was drinking up my soul as an ox drinks up a wayside pool; and I fell, and darkness passed over me."
Depicted as a Lilin-demon, taking shape in the form that of which mankind most desires, Succubi and Incubi are the embodiment of lust itself. Like a vile temptress of the Abyss, they use their charismatic personalities, and beguiling languages to lead those that succumb to their charms and prey on them within the darkness of night.
Wanderlust
Oftentimes, these fiends are seen in a negative light. Whether that be out of fear or hatred of their demonic nature, and hell-born origins, they are rarely welcomed with open arms.
Due to these circumstances, Succubi and Incubi have taken to integrating themselves into societies through the help of their deception. Never would one catch a Succubi or an Incubi in their natural form, the few rare occasions being during their feeding.
However, in the case that their lies and disguises are seen through, these fiends are forced to flee and start anew elsewhere. It isn't often that they establish connections that aren't for the sake of their own benefit, thus making their road full of solitude.
Endless Insatisfaction
All Succubi and Incubi are born with an insatiable hunger for the essence of other beings. Many have tried to quell their endless need to drain another of their very life-force, but none have succeeded.
Consuming anything else may briefly provide relief from this urge, but it'll return much stronger until one finally succumbs to their need to feast.
Shapechanger
Charm and charisma may be natural to all Succubi and Incubi, but it oftentimes comes at a risk. Being the embodiment of lust, and desire, these fiends are able to take different shape with their talent to shapeshift.
Whether that is taking the form of the passions of your victims to lure them into a defenceless state at night, or a shadowy form for a quick assassination, Succubi and Incubi never fail to find a creative method to accomplish their work.
Mistakes of Temptation
As they are most commonly known for, these fiends are able to drain the life out of living beings through acts of pleasure. However, if they so choose, Succubi and Incubi are able to make the final moments of their victims filled with unspeakable torment.
With lust gone awry, all it takes is one kiss to bring both pleasure and pain within even the strongest soul.
