Trickster Succubus/Incubus[edit]
Oh, you can trust me ~
Physical Description[edit]
Both Succubus and Incubus are mesmerizingly beautiful powerful Demons who use their sexuality to appear through the dreams of victims, usually young men & women. They then seduce and prey on these victims, slowly draining their souls with each encounter. Able to resolve conflicts through deception and persuasive tactics, They can advise kingdoms to destroy themselves by manipulation alone.
The word is derived from Late Latin succuba "strumpet" (from succubare "to lie under", from sub- "under" and cubare "to lie").
History[edit]
A succubus is a demon or supernatural entity in folklore, in female form, that appears in dreams to seduce men, usually through sexual activity. According to religious traditions, repeated sexual activity with a succubus can cause poor physical or mental health, even death. In modern representations, a succubus is often depicted as a beautiful seductress or enchantress, rather than as demonic or frightening. The male counterpart to the succubus is the incubus. Characteristically, a Succubus is a psychic, or 'manipulative' demon. It uses manipulation and compelling psychic abilities to overcome and seduce its prey, feeding from the victim's soul and returning night after night until it is consumed entirely or weak enough to finish off.
Victims of 'Succubi' described their visits to the men as 'a feeling of someone sitting on my chest or pelvic area'. When they awoke, they would feel drained, unable to move and petrified, though having had a wonderful and erotic dream the night before.
Succubi in traditional fantasy comprise various sexually appealing forms, from long-haired to lithe and winged. Though they can appear in the form they believe most pleasing to their intended victim, they tend to default to a scantily clad, shapely, bat-winged demon.
Society[edit]
Both Succubus and Incubus are considered to be powerful manipulators, They aren't seen to possess a Society however they do live in various circles, they could be advisers to a Kings side with the king unknowingly being controlled by the Demon, They could be serving a greater demon lord sent for a greater purpose.
