Succubus (3.5e Race)

Succubi

Personality

Succubi live up to their reputation, acting as seductive females to lure males into relinquishing some of their life-force. Particularly adept at controlling others in the peak of their strength, they're often employed - albeit reluctantly - by others to act as crowd control, or to tame certain creatures. Most of them share the nature of their reputation; flirtatious. They avoid fighting where possible, instead choosing seduction or fleeing.

Physical Description

Succubi in their natural form often average six feet in height and 125lb in weight. They bear similar shapes to humans, with notable exceptions of largish horns and long, slender tails that end in a heart-shaped projection, the tip of the heart pointing away from the tail. Said tail connects at the base of the spine, and is often a black or blackish colour. Their eyes and hair often share the same colour, which is shared again with their choice of clothing - which nearly always stretch the limits of remaining modest yet revealing. They also have large, bat-like wings that share the same black as the tail on the outside, and a darker variation of the hair and eye colour. Most succubi prefer to hold them slightly stretched out for comfort's sake.

Relations

For the most part, succubi get along well with all humanoids - they need to, as their race is biologically incapable of breeding to produce males. If discovered for their succubus being, they will flee more often than not - or rely on those they managed to seduce.

Alignment

Neutral on the Good-Evil axis, but tend towards Chaotic. Their methods aren't often smiled upon by the Lawful.

Lands

Succubi as a race originated from Chaotic Evil planes, and they still find comfort in those areas. They prefer warm areas - not hot - if they get an opportunity.

Religion

Being demonic in biology and nature, succubi don't often follow the ideals of gods.

Language

Succubi usually use their native language of Abyssal to communicate to each other. However, nearly all of them also speak Common to aid in their seduction with other humanoids.

Names

Succubi often change their names as they change their forms, but some choose to stick with a name from another race.
