Folklore and fiction tells us the succubus is a beautiful woman that preys upon the innocent. That she yearns for debauchery and through it the souls of those she has lured into her bed. This is all true, but it is not the whole truth. Far from it, in fact. The first succubi were not born to feed on men but to defy them! To cast aside the world created where man was on top and woman beneath him.
The story begins with Lilith, first wife of Adam, who refused to be subservient to him and instead was seduced by the Archangel Samael. Upon learning this, although angry, God allowed the Angel its consort and instead created three more women to be the wives of Adam: Agrat, mother of illusion; Naamah, mother of divination; and Eisheth, mother of restoration. Together, they would have served him and granted his children their gifts.
Lilith grew resentful that she was replaced so readily. Yet she also felt guilt that others would be subjected to a fate she escaped so, under Samael’s influence, lured the three women away from Adam. The Angel then, after defiling them, had them make love with each other and together they birthed the first succubi.
These Succubi were a proud - some might say arrogant - race of women who did not need men. Who scoffed at man and, by association, God's work. They were bestowed with miraculous powers that astonished and shamed Adam. He coveted these gifts yet they denied him for the Succubi were tainted by Lilith's bitterness. It was something that became more apparent when Eve was first conceived.
A frustrated God decided that women could not be created from Dust as Adam had for they would believe themselves his equal just as Lilith did. He instead wrought Eve from the flesh of Adam so that she would be more tame and childlike. Eve would be the obedient wife that God intended for the First Man, the loyal servant that would sire him mankind.
The Succubi burned with jealously that God still endeavored to give Adam and his line everything. They saw Eve as a pale imitation and were full of rage that her lineage accepted subservience to men. While they blamed and scorned the Sons of Adam for this travesty, they took special care to torment the daughters of Eve who deserved only derision for being so inferior. God tolerated this for a time, allowing his favored children to deal with these trials. It would be a test of their faith and heart. However, his patience was finite.
The last straw came when the Succubi began using foul magic on women to turn them against man. They seduced the daughters of Eve and together began to explore the seven cardinal sins. They performed all manner of debauchery to the exclusion of men as Lilith and the others had originally done before them. All women would soon come to reject men if this were allowed to continue, ending the line of Adam and thus denying God. For this and every other crime, he punished the Succubi by casting them into the Garden of Eden were they were set upon by plants and beasts.
This would have been their end if not for Samuel. The angel took pity and bade its four lovers to abscond to Earth with their remaining children. God, perhaps feeling remorse, allowed their flight but knew full well the vindictive nature of Lilith and her ilk. He placed a number of curses upon their progeny so they might never be the threat they once were. After that it would be up to humanity to safeguard itself.
The four consorts crowned themselves as Empresses upon reaching the world and then went their separate ways. Each one took with them their chosen daughters, teaching them how to survive and escape Heaven's justice. Future generations would come to call themselves the Nobilis, the Noble Succubi, in honor of their mothers.
What sets the Noble Succubi apart from their lesser kin isn't just looks or power; they possess a highly developed society with a distinct culture steeped in tradition. Its roots can be traced to when the Empresses first set foot on Earth and witnessed the designs God had for Man and his civilizations. They realized that if their children were to survive here they would need to create one of their own. Mankind would be too numerous and too well-organized for the Succubi to oppose otherwise.
So while God created the Ten Commandments for humanity, the Empresses devised their own series of codes and laws that would later be called the Noblesse Oblige. This would be the foundation of their society, their Noble Society, which has endured all of recorded history. It has held the Succubi together ever since their flight from paradise and kept a tenuous order in their ranks, saving them time and again from extinction.
A key aspect of the Noble Society is how it's organized. There is no single kingdom or empire, no centralized authority, and instead the succubi are divided into separate sovereignties that largely act independent of each other. The number of which fluctuates and new ones emerge all the time, though many fizzle out before amounting to anything. They are absorbed or crushed by rivals and ferreted out by exorcists sent to end their threat. The fledgling cliques that do survive their early tribulations have a chance to establish themselves, to grow in strength and numbers.
Their structure and size can vary significantly between regions and between circles. Groups can range from a couple girls to thousands of members and affiliates worldwide. Some are run like terrorist cells, small and autonomous, while others behave similarly to organized crime syndicates. The largest, however, are like invisible nations that lurk in the shadows. The one thing they all share in common is how individuals are ranked within the Noble Society.
It is built around a strict hierarchy where position is determined through power, merit, and age (duration spent as a succubus). This system ensures those with superior rank have absolute authority over everyone beneath them. The higher the station, the more potentially dangerous an individual is. There isn't any specific formula to ascending the ranks, though, and in rare cases a succubus can favor one quality significantly more than the other two. This however is more the exception than than the rule.
Empress
The highest position and most powerful Succubi in the Noble Society are the Empresses. They are akin to demigods and what’s more they are not afflicted by God’s curse. Fortunately there are only four in existence and there is no way for any Noble to ascend to this level, not even Queens. It is a title that belongs solely to Lilith, Naamah, Agrat, and Eisheth. They are the first Succubi, the Progenitors, and they are the absolute rulers of the Noble Society. At least on paper; in practice, they rarely get directly involved in the affairs of their children and seemingly instead prefer to guide the Succubi from a distance.
The four of them vanished without trace after completing their work but legends suggest each Empress resides in a sinister yet stunningly beautiful palace surrounded by gardens that imitate Eden. They are said to be protected by an entourage of the strongest Queens and Archduchesses who, when not dutifully serving the whims of their mistresses, participate in all manner of unspeakable debauchery. Powerful spells are also supposed to safeguard these domains, making it all but impossible for mortal men to enter let alone find. However the veracity of these tales cannot be proven since there are no living witnesses. Not even the succubi that live on the outside seem to know for sure, that is if any of them are to be believed.
Queen
Second only to the Empresses, the Queens are the direct rulers of the Noble society. Although they are few in number, each one wields considerable power and commands a separate kingdom of thousands. To have reached this lofty height, she will have likely crushed or enthralled many rivals. She will have survived countless attempts on her life and outsmarted humanity's protectors. Her name will be known and feared by angels, demons, and men. There is no doubt why a Succubus has become a Queen for only the strongest and most clever can climb this high. Experience and ability are on her side. If they weren't, she'd be dead.
It is, perhaps, fortunate then that there are so few and they do not trust each other. While no one knows the exact number, estimates put it anywhere between fifty to a hundred queens in the world. If they were to combine their efforts, they could probably wreak terrible destruction. However, it is rare to see more than a handful of Queens cooperating for any length of time. Relationships between them at best can be described as 'tolerable' for another Queen is just another rival and threat. Not a single one has any desire to share their corner of the world.
Archduchess
To be an Archduchess is to sit near the top. When in the service of a Queen, they hold the confidence of their mistress. They are the Queen's inner circle, her advisers and guardians. There are usually never more than a handful in a Queen's service but even a few are enough to secure her dominance.
But in the absence of anyone higher, an Archduchess will head up her own demesne and pursue her own agenda with the goal of someday achieving the highest station. While not impossible for lower ranks, realistically only an Archduchess has the power and influence to maintain any kind of significant sovereignty.
Duchess
A succubus that becomes a Duchess will have decades, even centuries of experience. Her influence is far reaching and her name is known, even in other demesne. She might not be in a Queen's inner circle, but she would definitely be close to it.
As part of a demesne, they are adjutants to an Archduchess. They assist the Archduchesses in carrying out the Queen's will and delegating responsibilities in the Noble Society. They may control entire communities and whole regions of Succubi on behalf of the Queen, managing issues too mundane to trouble their mistresses with.
Countess
Achieving the lofty position of a Countess is the first major challenge in the life of an aspiring succubus. It will not be as easy as reaching Baroness and many will perish before then. However, if a succubus lives long enough to demonstrate sufficient aptitude and competence - or extraordinary power - she will become a Countess. This is when a succubus starts having real influence in the Noble Society. She will be afforded more authority and greater liberties, more room to grow and operate on her own.
The responsibilities of a Countess may vary depending on the needs of her superiors. She might be put in charge of many succubi or be given specific duties, like espionage and assassination. A countess might be tasked with creating and growing new coteries to extend the influence of her demesne. In a way they are like military officers with all the pride and prestige that would come with such a role.
Baroness
Before long a Succubus will mature into a Baroness. Only a step above Baronet, her primary duty is simply keeping those beneath her in line. She acts as an overseer, passing on orders and dealing out disciplinary actions whenever necessary. Her authority will not extend far but she will be put in charge of a coterie. The size of which can range, though it's normally no more than a dozen or so baronets and maybe a some handmaidens.
Baronet Princess Lady-In-Waiting
After the transformation is complete and a girl blooms as a full succubus, she will be a Baronet. Although above Handmaidens and Ladies-in-Waiting, it is still one of the lowest ranks in the Noble Society and as such has little clout. A baronet is expected to dutifully follow orders and suffer the abuses of her betters without complaint. They bare the brunt of the work, sometimes assisted by the lowly handmaidens if they're lucky.
With the exception of smaller coteries, Baronets usually don't conduct transformations without some kind of supervision. They may assist in scouting out potential converts and new chattel, but these are chosen at the discretion of more experienced succubi who either take on the responsibility themselves or assign it to someone proven.
The position of a Princess is an important one in the Noble Society. It isn’t so much a rank as an honor bestowed upon a Succubus that holds the eye of her Queen. This succubus is more than just a favorite; she holds a great deal of worth and has demonstrated some kind of potential that a Queen might acknowledge her as an eventual equal. In other words, a Princess is a Queen in the making. One day she will have a court of her own and she will elevate another just as she had been.
A princess does not replace her Queen but instead eventually goes on to form her own demesne. She will sometimes take other succubi and servants with her, usually with her former mistress's blessing but not always. For this reason it is very rare that a Queen will choose more than one Princess at any given time. In fact, a Queen may go decades without choosing one at all. Another genuine concern is that a new queen could become a fierce rival and bitter enemy. However, eventually the Elder Succubus will feel warmth in her womb and a pounding in her chest that compels her to find a worthy candidate. When she does, the younger succubus will be groomed, coddled, and even taken as a bedmate for a period of a few months to several years after which she will be reborn.
Candidates are drawn almost exclusively from Succubi who've earned the station of Duchess or Archduchess. Anything less would be almost unthinkable and it'd take a truly exceptional individual to have even a hope of being selected. In the event there was such a succubus, she would clearly be destined for great or terrible things.
A prospective women who is being groomed for her eventual change, or is in mid-transformation, is called a Lady-In-Waiting. Traditionally she is a willing participant who has been tempted by the unnatural gifts of the Succubi but in practice this isn't always the case. Some aren't even aware they've been singled out and ensnared by the machinations of a coterie. They are blissfully ignorant as the succubi manipulate everything in their lives to reach a desirable outcome, giving them no choice but to accept the dark embrace of the Noble Society when it is finally offered.
While technically higher ranked than Handmaidens, Ladies-In-Wait don't actually have any real authority within a coterie unless otherwise stated. Like handmaidens, how they are perceived can differ from one coterie to the next. They may be viewed as just another servant, if temporarily, or as disciples who are supposed to watch and learn. Those who are willing and are worth more to the Succubi are generally treated much better. They get to enjoy more freedoms, especially if their transformation is already underway, and can even act as a proper member of a coterie.
Handmaiden
While it is true Succubi enjoy devouring or converting the descendants of Eve, they do recognize the advantage of having human serfs. Mortal women are not hindered by the telltale signs that give succubi away and can therefor act more openly without drawing too much suspicion. They are also not affected by the curses put on Succubi, making them perfect human shields or even decoys to mislead unwary enemies. These girls are known as Handmaidens and they are expected to serve their mistresses without question. Some are willing servants but many are seduced and enthralled by the Succubi.
The treatment of Handmaidens is not uniform in the Noble Society. There are no rules or mandates; it is left entirely to the discretion of each Succubus. Unfortunately this means many are treated little better than slaves. They are used and abused like draft animals. This is not always true and some servants are lucky enough to be treated with at least a little dignity. It isn't uncommon for Succubi to take in the acquaintances they made when they were still human. The best case scenario is that these girls are still treated as friends and are afforded a great deal of latitude.
Most servants are allowed to lead double lives, their alter ego being their old self while their true identity is that of a Handmaiden to the Succubi. Too many missing people in a given area will draw unwanted attention and a girl ripped from her life will cease being useful if someone recognizes her in public. However, some Succubi will still kidnap women and sequester them away, never to be seen by friends and loved ones again. They'll often be locked away in the Succubus's home, forced to maintain it while held captive by physical restraints or some kind of magical binding. Typically Succubi that do this are either incredibly paranoid or incredibly possessive.
Humans aren't the only ones pressed into servitude. Elves, fairies, lesser demonesses. Anything female can be subjugated by the Noble Society, even other Noble Succubi! This is rare and usually only happens when they are defeated in duels. However it can also occur if a girl, after turning, ends up being too weak or useless. In that event her status may be revoked and she'll be reduced to a mere handmaiden. It is a humiliating punishment that many dread.
Dame
A Handmaiden who has proven her loyalty and commitment may be elevated to the rank of Dame. When this happens, she will cease being a disposable slave and instead become a guardian and personal servant to her Queen. With these newfound responsibilities come certain privileges that non-succubi will normally never experience. A dame will be entrusted with all the secrets of her mistress and her opinions will be taken seriously. She may also act on her own initiative but more importantly a Dame is beholden to no one except her charge. No one else may order her around.
But before anything she must pass a series of stringent tests. Failure means forever vanishing into a voracious belly while success leads to more challenges. Due to her responsibilities a Dame will be instructed in the martial disciplines, if she hasn't already, so that she might better defend against threats both human and supernatural. She will also receive a pair of magical heels whose power, while muted, will make her a more formidable opponent without turning her into a Succubus. Normally these shoes share the same color as her mistress, so that every succubus knows who she belongs to. Dames who are not human or lack feet may instead receive other gifts instead to enhance their usefulness.
Witch Serf
In the Noble Society a Witch is a servant that has or is given magic. She is much more useful than a regular Handmaiden but not as indispensable as a Dame. For this reason it is regarded as a middle rank, though in practice they are no different than the former. In fact, it is an informal title that isn't observed by the whole of the Noble Society. Succubi aren't always the most trusting so the thought of a slave with any kind of power can be a little scary and women who possess power are usually turned anyway. However, audacious or desperate coteries may turn to witches to bolster their ranks.
For girls who have no aptitude with the arcane arts, they will receive magically imbued clothing like a Dame might. Unlike a dame, these can be any article of clothing from shoes to lingerie to a hat. The magic within them is also finite, forcing this brand of Witch to return to the Succubi to renew her power. It is an excellent form of control especially because magic withdrawal is not uncommon. It can be very addicting experience for those who aren't used to it. The clothing must be worn by a succubus to absorb the ambient magic her body gives off, so the witch will often wear the clothing of her mistress. This has the dual effect of also letting others know who she belongs to.
In exceptionally rare cases women have stolen clothing from Succubi to leach off the power contained within. Handmaidens who do this are typically punished but outsiders often meet more horrifying fates.
Knight
There are apocryphal accounts of men in the service of powerful succubi. Gender traitors who would serve not only as protectors but living weapons against potential rivals. Some stories tell of men who somehow fell victim to a Queen's seduction while other tales speak of loved ones that are trapped by the memory of the girl a succubus once was. Still others suggest these men were caught and enslaved, their genitalia mutilated so they can't ever threaten their mistresses. All of them, however, are referred to as Knights.
If these stories are true, it would shake not just the foundation of the Church but the Noble Society as well. Naturally the clergy and their exorcists would not tolerate such blasphemy but Succubi who have committed themselves to destroying the patriarchy would see this as an affront. To be in any kind of deep or close relationship with a man would be abhorrent, dangerous even. To use one against a sister would be so profane that the only penalty might be death. However rumors persist in spite of this. Of powerful succubi with man who act as their sword and shield. If there were any, it's very likely they could be counted on one hand.
It should be noted there is a distinction between a knight and men that are employed at businesses run by Succubi or who are paid off. These men might be aware of illegal activities or even that their employers are inhuman but they are kept at arms length. They only know what they need to know and aren't involved in the Noble Society. More fanatical succubi might frown on this but they serve an unavoidable purpose in a world dominated by men.
The Noble Society employs a lot servants but not all of them are considered handmaidens nor are they necessarily even aware of who they truly serve. They toil away at companies owned by the Succubi, blissfully ignorant to the evil nature of their mistresses. These people are referred to as serfs and are essential for any operation.
It may come as a surprise but Succubi run a lot of businesses, both legitimate and fronts for other activities. Typical ventures include casinos, modeling agencies, and fashion brands but they have even been known to operate schools and hospitals. If there's a way to gain money or influence, Succubi will almost certainly try to worm their way in. Of course, not everyone can be a Succubus! They usually don't have the numbers and too many in one place may arouse suspicion. Their enemies are everywhere, always on the lookout and ready to pounce. Besides, no self-respecting Succubus will demean herself with menial labor if she doesn't have to. That's where serfs come in. They are the lowly workforce of smiling faces who know only what they need to know to serve their employers. Loose lips sink ships, after all. If an operation gets busted by the authorities, they will almost certainly know nothing and have no connections to the Succubi that can be exploited.
That's not to say that Serfs are left alone. Depending on the size and type of business, there will be some kind of overseer. Usually these are a few low ranked Succubi or trustworthy handmaidens, though higher ranks may be assigned if its something noteworthy. Enough to ensure everything runs smoothly while also controlling information. Of course that also means these oblivious workers aren't called “serfs” to their faces; it is a term used in discussions between Succubi and the initiated.
The Noble Society is steeped in customs and traditions that have developed over the countless millennia. These range from the superfluous or flamboyant to the absolutely crucial and while not all of it is strictly enforced by every demesne, much of it is still followed if only because it is fashionable to do so. However there is a purpose behind it all, behind the rituals of Noblesse Oblige; hiding in the midst of enemies who are far more numerous means the Succubi can ill-afford unchecked rivalries with their own kind. So to protect a fragile peace, proper decorum and discipline must be observed.
Chief among the laws are how Succubi settle their disputes. Unity is never absolute with such vainglorious creatures, their unchecked jealousy and ambition often bringing different parties into conflict. Too much runs the risk of fatally crippling their coteries or exposing themselves to enemies. Therefor the Noblesse Oblige forbids open warfare and large-scale battle. Instead petty squabbles and grievances must be resolved by sanctioned duels to prevent feuds from escalating. While the pageantry may differ between the different demesne, the basic details are the same – the opposing parties decide the rules, choose what is at stake, and then fight it out until a winner is declared. It usually ends when a participant is incapacitated or otherwise submits, at least with trials by combat but there are other avenues to pursue. The duels can take any form and champions or substitutes can even fight in their stead so long as both parties agree to it. Fencing and chess are popular with more aristocratic succubi who prefer the 'older ways'. However things like wrestling are far more popular with younger Succubi, the goal often being to strip their opponent and remove her panties. Races, fetch quests, and even games of jan-ken are not unheard of. Usually its just pride or possessions on the line rather than life and limb but sometimes death does happen. It comes either at the end of the sword or in the belly of the opponent.
Not everything is life or death, not in the normal sense, such as how to greet or treat others in the Noble Society. Etiquette dictates that a superior is greeted with a kiss on the hand or with a curtsy while kissing the shoe or foot is act of utter submission. The defeated party of a duel will usually have to do this, often in front of the whole coterie. A Succubus hiking her skirt up or lowering her pants when confronting others, depending on the demesne, is usually seen as a sign of truce. That she has no ill will or comes in peace, demonstrated by the fact she is leaving herself exposed. It may also mean that she is surrendering and putting herself at the mercy of the victor.
Discipline and punishment are significant parts of the Noblesse Oblige. Despite what they are, Succubi do have taboos, offenses that must be dealt with appropriately. Cannibalism is a very serious example and carries the penalty of death, usually by the very same act they perpetuated. However, this doesn't happen very often and there are also conditions or exceptions. A Queen, for example, technically has a lot of leeway in what she can do with her subordinates. There are not many people who would have the audacity or ability to tell her what to do. A Succubus can also devour her rival if victorious in a duel, though it must be a condition decided on beforehand. For minor offenses, a Succubus may receive a spanking. Hard or not, it is a common and humiliating disciplinary action doled out to those troublesome Succubi who don't know their place. For whatever reason, Succubi take it especially hard even though their superior bodies should be able to take a simple slap to the buttocks. Timeouts are surprisingly also popular, though with a more sinister twist. Succubi who are “sent to their room” endure deprivation through various forms of bondage and encasement. The infamous Lady London is notorious for turning those who disappoint her into works of art, suspended in vacuum beds or locked inside metal frames. The unluckiest are turned into statues, to be let out at her discretion. Something that can take decades.
While not perhaps officially a part of their system of laws, insults and pranks are still very much a part of their culture. From calling baronets who do menial labor “red riding hoods” to labeling a depantied Succubus a “sleeping beauty”, the young Succubi have come up with colorful ways of bullying each other. Theft of panties or heels, though uncommon, does happen between rivals in the lower ranks. Especially in locker rooms at schools and gyms. Giving wedgies is a more recent trend that has grown in popularity. While it might seem like a juvenile prank to normal people, it carries a dire implication for the recipient. It means that she is weak or vulnerable and her panties can be seized at any time. This is tremendously embarrassing but it also really smarts! A Succubus is very sensitive in that area, after all.
Thanks to the changing times and the invention of the internet, the fresh blood brought into the Noble Society have introduced new ideas and mannerisms. Slang in particularly has become quite popular with the younger succubi. The following is a list of common terms: Alcatraz is supposedly a secret correctional facility where Succubi who're caught but not executed are sent to. It is an urban legend named after the famous island prison, a scary story that higher ranked succubi tell younger and less experienced girls. Who can say, though, whether or not it is real. A succubus whose primary color is blue is sometimes called an Alice, especially if she wears a lot of white with it. This is in reference to the protagonist of Alice in Wonderland, a character notable for her blue dress and white apron. An Aura is a visible manifestation of a Succubus’s natural power. Examples include radiant halos, crowns of fire, or ‘wings’ made from ice. Only women with considerable mastery of their abilities may manifest an aura and then only when they exert their full potential. A Bathory is a woman in her latter years who is turned into a succubus. Succubi don't normally induct women after a certain age in part because they aren't 'beautiful'. There are more practical reasons, however; these sort of women will noticeably regress in age which makes it very difficult to blend in and hide the fact that they've been changed. Only so much can be explained away with plastic surgery! A girl who is especially poor that is elevated to a succubus are referred to as Cinderellas by modern coteries. This becomes especially fitting for these succubi if they turn their fortunes around and become fabulously wealthy. The name for a grouping of succubi. There is no formal definition or size restrictions though it generally refers to smaller, close-knit circles and autonomous cells. A Court usually refers to either the inner circle of a ruling Succubus or a gathering where the main body of her domain assembles. When a Queen or Duchess holds court, all the important succubi in her service are expected to attend. Those that don't should have good excuse lest they provoke the ire of their mistress. The area of authority or regency for a Queen is formally called a Demesne. That includes all the succubi in her service, all their human servants or operations, and all their estates. Other names are sometimes used such as “kingdom”, though more devoted succubi may take issue with this masculine form and will instead use “Queendom”. In cases where the highest Succubus is an Archduchess or Duchess, her realm would be an Archduchy and Duchy respectively. Succubi who wear especially flashy or glitzy heels, usually red though not always, are referred to as Dorothy's as a homage to the character's signature ruby slippers. It's not always a positive nickname, however; these shoes can sometimes draw unwanted attention or invite suspicion by authorities. Some girls will awaken an innate ability after their transformation. Something they can just do without needing any formal training. These gifts can be a considerable boon if used correctly. A glutton is a succubus that excessively indulges in the practice of eating girls. While its perfectly acceptable in the Noble Society to consume others, carelessly doing so may risk exposing a coterie to their enemies. Too many disappearances can be difficult to cover up so the term usually has a derogatory connotation. Another word for a Noble Succubus. It is a more formal term that may be in reference to Lilith, one of the first true Succubi. Though its usage is uncommon in modern times, there are still those who refer to themselves as Lilim to differentiate themselves from lesser Succubi. When a Succubus has received sufficient fame or prestige, she may earn a nickname that will be known throughout the Noble Society. It will strike fear into her enemies and command the respect of her peers. These are known as monikers and such examples include the Emerald Witch, The Ironclad Queen, or the Boundless Diva. The Secret world of the Succubi is collectively referred to as the Noble Society. Every coterie, every demesne, right down to the last handmaiden is a part of it though in practice the disparate factions act entirely independent of each other. Refers to all the laws, rules, and codes that govern every aspect of the Noble Society. This includes the social and hierarchical class system that ranks each Succubus A common nickname for baronets whose primary color is red. Baronets are often used for menial labor by their betters and this evokes images of little Red Riding Hood ferrying items in her basket. While not all Succubi are pure evil, it's exceptionally rare that any could truly be considered “good”. Those that are are jokingly referred to as Saints. It is used as an insult, often spat with venom, for a saint usually looks upon her gifts with regret or guilt. She doesn't yearn to debase humanity or spread the influence of her kind. A Saint won't even eat or molest women. They are dead weight that could even turn on their sisters. Noble Succubi who devour their own kind are, ironically, called sinners. While some do it for the thrill or because it's taboo, others believe they can attain greater power through cannibalism. There is a commonly shared rumor whispered in the darkest corners of the Noble Society that Succubi can steal magic and rare abilities this way. There is nothing to substantiate these stories, though, and doing so is against the Noblesse Oblige. Anyone caught doing it is usually sentenced to death by her peers. When a Succubus is depantied, most faint or become catatonic. Younger Succubi refer to this as becoming a 'sleeping beauty', a girl waiting for a man to have his way. It is therefor something that no succubus aspires to be. A particularly gullible and naive Succubus may be called a Snow White, especially if foolish missteps lead to her untimely end. A mark or brand that all succubi have upon their body. Said to be an aspect of God’s curse, it was meant to irrefutably identify any woman turned into a succubus. Virgin A Succubus who has neither eaten nor raped others is called a Virgin. Although it does apply to Ladies-in-Wait and newly turned girls that haven't indulged yet, the term is more closely associated with succubi who actively refuse to do so. Whether it's lack of interest or reluctance based on moral quandaries, she will not participate in these debaucheries. They are typically teased or bullied in the Noble Society so most virgins will keep it a secret. They would risk alienation otherwise.
Alcatraz
What it is and what happens there changes between every telling. It can be a place where succubi are stripped and hung from the ceiling, mercilessly taunted by horny guards who wave their cocks around. It might be somewhere where captives are sealed away forever in cryogenic cells. Another version suggests unlucky succubi are chained together and lined up, executed one after the other by some sort of phallic machine.
More optimistic tales suggest it is where Succubi are confined in relative comfort, though naturally stripped of their undergarments and heels. This is based on the idea that no first world, progressive society would condone execution or unnecessary cruelty even for a succubus. Of course, however accommodating, no self-respecting girl would ever dream of giving up her freedom or power.
Alice
Aura
Bathory
Older women do still have value in that they may have wealth or influence. They also make for very eager candidates who need very little convincing to give up their humanity. The allure of eternal youth and supernatural power is far too tempting to pass up especially when they find themselves closer and closer to death's doorstep.
Succubi that do induct older women into the noble society usually have the means to deal with this conundrum. The most common approach is faking their deaths and fabricating a whole new identity, which is much safer than allowing a seventy-year-old woman to suddenly show up looking like she's in her twenties or thirties.
The name is taken from the famous story of Countess Bathory who allegedly bathed in the blood of women to retain her youth. Interestingly enough, she may've been herself a Noble Succubus.
Cinderella
As with 'Dorothy', it may also apply to succubi with chic or lavish heels in addition to blue gowns.
Coterie
Court
Demesne
Dorothy
Gift
Glutton
It can also be seen as selfish or paranoid for a Succubus to spend all her time devouring what could otherwise be useful pawns. Resources that could benefit her coterie instead of just herself. Of course, the more powerful she is the less others can do or say about it.
Lilim
Moniker
Some Demesne may know it as a sobriquet, epithet, or title.
Noble Society
The Noblesse Oblige
Red Riding Hood
Saint
Most saints will forsake the company of other Succubi and will usually run away rather than be brutalized or humiliated by a likely scornful coterie. Luckily for the Noble Society, Saints are unlikely to aid humanity or align themselves with enemies of the Succubi.
Sinner
There are of course exceptions. It is permissible to include cannibalism in the terms of a duel, where the winner may eat the loser, but even this may draw criticism from other Succubi. A Queen can also 'sin' if she wishes because there aren't many who can rebuke her besides other Queens. It just isn't done normally lest she wish to lose the trust and loyalty of her demesne.

Stigmata
Noble Succubi are not born, not in the traditional sense, but created through a process of corrupting women with fel sorcery. It is the only way for them to reproduce. They cannot have sex with men because of God's curse, for to do so would mean their demise, so they must rely exclusively on the girls they seduce to sustain their numbers.
Anyone in theory can be turned as long as they are biologically female. It does not matter if they are young or old, human or otherwise, all are equally susceptible. The only limits then are a Succubus's preferences and the accessibility of women they want to convert. Succubi can be extremely fastidious in who they pursue so long as they can afford it. Qualities like academic ability and physical prowess are appreciated but above all else Succubi covet women with beauty, wealth, and influence. Members of nobility and celebrities are favorites but not always easy to reach. Bodyguards and security details are an obvious obstacle but people in positions of power are also usually aware of supernatural threats. In other words they may have other measures in place to protect them. Whether these hurdles are overcome or easier prey is chosen, a Succubus will eventually have to make contact.
How potential converts are approached again comes down to preference. Some succubi will move almost immediately and corner their mark. There are others who prefer a longer courtship, often observing the soon-to-be succubus from afar. The woman is meanwhile blissfully unaware that she's being groomed for a greater purpose. That her life, every aspect of it, has been meticulously planned and manipulated the moment she caught their attention. This can take many forms, from exploiting a girl's desires to preying on her insecurities. There aren't many who could turn down eternal youth or the promise of fame and fortune. Being offered a meaningful opportunity, even a second chance, is usually enough to compel anyone to surrender their humanity. To make the infernal bargain.
When they decide the time is right to transform the girl into a succubus, it will be done through one of three methods:
Magic Heels. The simplest method is to don a pair of magical high heels. Should a girl wear these long enough, the magic permeating through them will change her into a Succubus. The transformation is not immediate and can be interrupted if she or someone else removes the shoes. However, the longer she wears those heels the harder it will be to remove them until she finally can't. If she waits too long, roughly halfway through the process, the shoes will fuse to her feet and won't come off until her body is done changing.
To save a girl, it is imperative the heels be removed before this point is reached. It might even be possible to use holy magic to dispel their hold shortly after but any longer and it will be impossible. Not even cutting off her feet will help; in all cases the girls go into shock and perish. Sometimes they will be uncooperative, even combative as the corruption takes hold so rescuers should be prepared to use restraints. It is not wholly their will but that of the shoes and the dark mistress that owned them.
How to create these magical heels is actually very easy. All a Succubus needs to do is wear any pair she fancies. They will soak up the ambient magic her body gives off, gradually becoming 'cursed' with her fel power. She must break them in in this way before she can use them to turn others. If left unworn, the magical will slowly drain of their power until they become plain shoes once more.
Succubus Milk. All Succubi, without exception, are able to lactate outside of pregnancy and may even do it during a sexual climax. The milk they produce is brimming with demonic power, giving it a potent and intoxicating effect that even men would find irresistible. Should any woman drink a sufficient quantity, she would turn into a succubus herself. The rate at which her body changes of course depends on how much she consumes. The more she takes in, the faster the process happens and the harder it will be to reverse.
If a woman is having second thoughts, she must quickly seek help to extract the pernicious fluids and dispel the magic that has already taken hold on her body. If she has undergone two thirds of the transformation, it will be too late. The power can also be resisted but it takes a strong will or devout believer and, unless its in the early stages, this will only slow the changing down.
Unbirthing. The most effective approach is for a Succubus to take a woman into her womb. Even the most stubborn girl cannot resist its potency. Whether she's willing or not, a human or an angel, the girl will succumb to its fel magic and fluids. No amount of devotion or piety will impede the process that will eventually force her body to change. When she finally emerges from between her benefactors legs, she will be a newly arisen Succubus.
There are some drawbacks to unbirthing, however. It is the slowest method by far and it also leaves a Succubus vulnerable. She must bare the burden of carrying a whole other person, usually adult sized, in her womb for the duration. This is no easy feat even with her enhanced abilities! Even worse, her belly will be distended beyond what is reasonably possible; it would expose her true identity as something inhuman. Finally, it can be very strenuous for a Succubus. Again, she is taking in someone of similar size for which the body was not originally designed to do. This is offset somewhat by the pleasure that it stimulates and the benefits that it offers. There is also an urban legend that Succubi created this way are more loyal to the ones that turn them but there is no truth behind this.
Anyone wishing to stop the Succubus or save the girl must do so immediately. Even a day may be too late for the magic in the womb is quick to contaminate anyone inside it. In the unfortunate event that would-be rescuers are too late, they will have to dispose of the once victim for there is no hope of recovery.
Once the transformation is complete and the girl becomes a succubus, her mind and body will have undergone a variety of changes. Some of these are subtle while others are more pronounced. Some are instantaneous, some happen gradually. No two metamorphoses will ever be exactly alike. The only certainty is that once everything is done, once she is a succubus, it is irreversible. There is no coming back regardless of method used.
The physical effects on a girl are myriad. Every facet of her body will change in such a way as to maximize her beauty. It is often described as becoming the most idealized version of who they are, of who they were meant to be. If that means having a bigger bust, she can expect her breasts to grow to an appropriate size. As many cups as necessary to achieve her apex beauty. Of course, if flat suits her better then she would remain flat. The same goes for the shape of her body, whether that means gaining an hourglass figure or something else. There are also universal changes, something that all Succubi can expect. Imperfections like acne or wrinkles will disappear. Unseemly birthmarks fade into nothing while body hair disintegrates, leaving their skin as smooth as eggshells.
Even the onset of advanced age is reversed by this transformation. Elderly women will instantly get their youth and vitality back. Some may even find themselves in the body of their teenage years again, though most will 'merely' be restored to their prime. To something better than their prime, to what they could only dream of before.
What happens to a girl's mind after her transformation is less certain. While the body becomes more attractive, there is no clear ideal or goal for her mental landscape except an acceptance for what she has become. If not through her own volition then surely through the fel magic that changed her. Anything else is difficult to predict, never mind explain. Many women will turn sapphic, if they weren't already, or at minimum lose any interest in men. A girl could remain virtually unchanged or become a completely new person. Someone meek could become aggressive and promiscuous. A pleasant person could turn bitter and jealous or vice versa. In their quest for physical perfection, it may be that the original succubi only spared a passing thought to the mind. Or perhaps it's the result of just one more curse upon them.
Noble Succubi have many attributes that mortals covet, but perhaps none more so than their physical appearance. Words like 'pretty' or 'cute' are not enough to describe them. Their more common kin may be beautiful, but the Nobilis are perfect. Their skin is smooth and soft, their curves are just right, and they move with an unearthly elegance. However old or whatever race, they are without flaw. In a word, they are perfect and all it cost was their humanity.
And unlike some lesser breeds of succubi, their attractiveness doesn't melt away after revealing themselves. It is not a facade. Nobilis do not grow cloven hooves or bird-like claws. There are no deformities or haggish features hidden behind glamour. Their hearts may be blacker than coal but the allure is genuine. Bought through a devil's bargain, yes, but still real.
What they do have in common are additional extremities on their heads and back. However Noble Succubi aren't just limited to bat wings and horns. Their demonic appendages come in many different flavors with seemingly no specific reason dictating what they have. One Succubus may have antlers on her head and hawk wings rising from the small of her back while another may have horns and mer fins extending from her shoulder blades. While some Noble Succubi do receive serpentine tails, it is not a common trait and has never been observed on women who had any kind of tail prior to their transformation.
Unique to Nobilis is the stigmata, a mark upon their flesh that is reminiscent of tattoos. Stories say it was imposed on them by god, meant to be a brand of shame so that Succubi cannot hide who they are or escape their crimes. If so, a watchful eye is necessary to spot one. A stigmata can take on different shapes and show up almost anywhere on the body.
Noble Succubi are blessed with a wide range of extremities that other demonkind could only dream of. This includes wings, horns, antlers, fins, and tails. No two Nobilis will look exactly alike or, at least, such instances would be incredibly rare. As a succubus gains power and rank, these extremities may sometimes grow or multiply, distinguishing new Succubi from those who are older and more seasoned.
For wings, there are other possibilities besides just draconic or bat. They can have the wings of birds, moths, or butterflies as well. In some cases Succubi with white feathery wings have passed themselves off as angels to deceive the unwitting. Succubi may also have mer fin-like wings, unusual even for demons. Flight is still possible despite this appearance though they do perform much better in water. The diversity doesn't stop with just type, either; size, number, and placement are more examples of how they can differ. Wings on the upper, middle, or lower back have all been observed. And while rare, usually only seen in Duchess or higher, there have been Succubi with as many as six wings.
A Succubus will also have extremities on her head. Horns are pretty commonplace, usually two or more though a single horn is quite possible. Antlers aren't as prevalent but do appear from time to time. The same can be said of mer fins. Small wings appear just as often as horns, almost always matching whatever they have on their back.
Interestingly, not all Noble Succubi grow tails. In fact, most don't have them but those that do will usually have serpentine or draconic. If they have a tip, it's almost always a spade, diamond, or heart shape. It should be noted these will not manifest on races who already possess tails, such demi humans or anthros.
Whatever a Succubus has, she will be incredibly proud of it. She will groom her extra appendages lovingly and frequently so that she might show them off when possible. Some even decorate them with jewelry, provided they can accommodate such accessories. Despite this vanity and pride, they can be hidden or dispelled to blend in with regular mortals. Naturally a Succubus is loath to do this but it is a matter of survival. And when given an opportunity to show them off, she will revel in it.
A major defining facet of the Succubi isn't actually part of their body but what they wear over it. Specifically, it's their clothing. Every Succubus is compelled by their vanity to wear the finest garments they can get their hands on, whatever is fashionable or trending at the time. At minimum, they will adorn themselves in luxurious lingerie no matter the outfit. From tomboys to nouveau riche princesses, all Succubi follow this.
The color of their clothing is another important aspect, another quirk that Succubi adhere to. Every girl on transformation will find themselves inextricably drawn to a specific color that they must include in their ensemble at all times. They are driven by such powerful impulse that Succubi feel extreme anxiety without that color present on their person. The only exception is when they are fully nude, in which case this doesn't seem to apply. Some believe it is part of God's curse, not just punishment for their conceit but to further expose them. To make it that much harder to hide what they are.
Some Succubi have taken advantage of this to penalize or torture unruly underlings and rivals. They are forced to wear drab, mismatched clothing devoid of their color all while bound and unable to do anything about it. It's an abhorrent experience that any Succubus worth her weight in prada would like to avoid.
It should go without saying that the body of a Succubus is not the same as when she was still mortal. By the time her transformation is complete, many changes have taken place with many augmenting her youth and beauty. She will also grow new appendages, but these are not the only alterations to her anatomy; her insides will undergo its own metamorphosis. All with the express purpose of turning her into a superior being.
Some will argue that beauty is subjective and yet somehow the bodies of Succubi overcome this. They will be universally seen as attractive by all sexes even in death. Part of it certainly has to do with the rejuvenation of their physical forms. All imperfections disappear, from wrinkles to moles and freckles. Succubi do not grow body hair and any that existed prior will melt away during her transformation, leaving her skin extremely soft and smooth. Unseemly fat will also disappear, leaving only the appropriate amount of curves to maximize a Succubus's beauty. Of course aging will also stop and even adjust to their absolute pinnacle of attractiveness. It doesn't end there. Unseen are subtle differences in the odors a Succubus gives off. Gone are the repugnant stenches of overexertion and bacterial breakdown; in their place is something much more pleasant, like a faint natural perfume. These pheromones, combined with the ambient magic Succubi give off, are enough to bolster their allure on a subconscious level. This may explain why some find it difficult to resist laying with a deceased Succubus. Their bodies, which will not decay, can still induce arousal in this state. The magic that transformed them will preserve their bodies in perpetuity long after they kicked their last.
Finally there are the alterations to bodily functions, things that don't necessarily impact physical attraction. An obvious example is the ability to extend the jaws wide enough to swallow a person whole. Then there is the innate ability to lactate without pregnancy, requiring usually only modest stimulation to achieve. An often overlooked but still enjoyed perk is no longer producing waste. The body becomes incredibly efficient, breaking down almost anything. It is either turned into nourishment for their unholy bodies or converted into mana for their use. Their anus sees no use outside of sexual intercourse and therefor remains impossibly clean.
Every Succubus has a brand somewhere on their body. While this stigma resembles a simple tattoo, it is inflicted on them by God's curse and thus nothing so mundane. It cannot be removed or altered in any way, whether by surgery or magic, leaving them forever marked and unable to escape justice.
While there is some variance in the shape and placement of stigmas, there appears to be certain rules or limitations behind their design. They will for instance only be a single color and while some can be intricate, they are on the whole simple. They are never human faces or words, though they can sometimes be animals like stylized butterflies. Flowers and hearts are quite common, always with a sort of tribal aesthetic. Normal locations include the lower back, either butt cheek, on a thigh, and above the mons pubis. They can also appear on the arms or upper back. Much rarer but still possible is the face. Succubi branded here will usually use makeup to hide it as best they can.
The stigma is supposed to make it difficult for Succubi to hide but this may depend on time period and native cultures. Where it is socially acceptable for women to have tattoos, the effectiveness of this punishment diminishes. Depending on where it is on the body, it can simply be covered up. That doesn't mean their enemies are without recourse; certain flowers like white chrysanthemum may resonate when held up to a stigma for instance. Some Succubi may even flaunt their stigma, perhaps out of hubris or some misguided act of defiance, though even then it's usually on an obscure part of their body.
Just about anyone can be turned into Succubus so long as they are biologically female. There is no limit to ethnicity or race. This does raises some interesting questions, though. How do the changes affect non-humans? It basically depends on how different their anatomy is to the average hominid. In most cases the transformation is basically the same – they get prettier and grow new appendages. For example, an elf would gain wings and become even more beautiful.
However, things become dramatically different if they already have extra limbs or are missing some all together. Naga and Lamia, for example, have no legs which would seemingly disqualify them as candidates. Driders, meanwhile, have too many legs and none which are the 'right' kind. Unsurprisingly the fel magic of Succubi can surmount this obstacle. While cursed heels can't work on them, the other methods do and would ultimately transmogrify their lower body into a humanoid shape. The Lamia's snake body would be reduced to a tail above her new butt while a drider's legs might instead move to her back.
Races with additional appendages prior their transformation may or may not see change at all. A woman who already has wings probably wouldn't grow new ones but she might see hers changed in some way. Maybe a new color or perhaps grow in size. She may lose all her feathers and gain webbing instead or vice versa. Those already with horns might see theirs grow or gain additional extremities such as the vaunted head wings or mer fins. And, as mentioned before, those who already have tails such as cat girls and kitsune would not see theirs replaced, though in some circumstances what they have might multiply.
To say Noble Succubi are dangerous is an understatement. However weak or girly they may appear, these devilish women possess strength far surpassing average men and agility that puts most athletes to shame. Their endurance is also on a whole other level, being able to function for prolonged periods without rest or nourishment. Diseases and most mortal poisons have no effect on their bodies which can also withstand much harsher climates than a regular person. Even more astonishing is their ability to quickly recover from almost any wound no matter how severe it may be.
Complimenting their physical prowess is an arsenal of supernatural powers. Some they have in common with their lesser kin like the ability to charm or mesmerize others. With a glance or a word they can enthrall any person. With a but a touch they can stimulate intense pleasure, dulling senses and making their victims more pliable. A succubus can likewise drain the life energy of her prey through any sensual contact. Even grazing the nape of a neck with her lips is enough to siphon away both strength and stamina. What makes this truly remarkable is not even other breeds of Succubi are immune. Female demons are beguiled as easily as any mortal while the Noble Succubi themselves remain resistant, if not immune.
In addition every Succubus has a basic aptitude for magic. As long as they have the patience and humility, any number of spells can be learned whether it's conjuring items from thin air or commanding flames. Their unique lineage gives them access to other powers such as glamour, illusions, and divination. Unusual for demonkind, they can even use healing or light magic thanks to the blessings of Eisheth. Capability and Results will vary between each individual with some having stronger preferences than others. As with mortals, a Succubus may work hard and still not get anywhere while another may be a natural.
There is one other special trait that sets Noble Succubi apart. Upon transformation some succubi receive one or more gifts, innate abilities that are said to be manifestations of her defining characteristics and desires. These gifts can grant a wide range of effects with some having more obvious benefits than others. Instant mastery over a specific element, the ability to travel through mirrors, buffing others with the power of song. Some are more esoteric and have specific conditions, like being able to teleport but only while dancing or being able to see through the eyes of someone recently kissed. Other gifts seemingly have no significant use such as changing color preference through donning the heels of other Succubi. Of course, even this can have practical application with a strong enough imagination.
A succubus can imbue her clothing with power to some extent, either as a conscious choice or intuitively. The most common effects include reinforcing the material of their garments and acting as a reserve for magic. A chiffon dress can become as strong as Kevlar while nylon might resist any damage with enough power applied. Succubi do not have boundless reservoirs of magic though it can be expanded on by storing the surplus produced by their bodies in clothing. This is usually but not limited to jewelry with rings and pendants being a favorite. Those with advanced technique can even program and store spells, allowing a succubus to cast them at a moment’s notice.
Even when Succubi are not actively using magic, their bodies still radiate trace amounts. It seeps into and saturates their undergarments over time whether they mean to or not. This will also increase durability but with more modest results when compared to a deliberate effort. More importantly, this is how cursed heels are made as well as witch raiments. All a Succubus has to do is wear clothes long enough for the garments to soak in their power.
The ability to dominate minds is nothing new or strange for female demons. They are normally associated with it, after all. Noble Succubi however take it to a higher level, far outstripping their lesser cousins in both effectiveness and options. These involve not just voice or eye contact but also touch, each able to cover the shortcomings of the other two. If one doesn’t work, then another can be used instead or in conjunction to erode the willpower of a prospective victim. This makes it a lot harder to resist their control if applied correctly.
Voice. By lacing their words with fel magic, a Succubus can influence or control any person they are speaking to. An experienced Succubus can use their voice on more than one person at a time but it is more taxing. The efficacy of this method also drops off dramatically the further away someone is and there is no effect at all if her words can't be heard. A Succubus cannot broadcast her control over a phone or intercom either, unless she had a gift that'd allow it. The strength of a her voice lies in giving commands, the more clear and concise the harder it is to resist. In this way a Succubus can program or brainwash her victims, even planting suggestions or making them forget something if instructed
Eye Contact. A Succubus can mesmerize a person by peering into their eyes. In most cases it must be direct eye contact, gazes locked, though powerful or talented succubi can charm with just a glance. This means its most effective on one person at a time and that they must be in close proximity. It is possible to hypnotize someone off the reflection of a mirror, if less effectively, but not through a television broadcast. There are stories of Succubi who possess gifts that allow them to do so but no documented cases exist as of yet.
Touch. Perhaps the most interesting and nuanced of the three methods, a Succubus can dull the senses of a person and weaken their resolve through physical contact. This is accomplished by inducing arousal in their victim. It can be done on any part of the body and even through clothing but it is most effective directly on the skin and on erogenous zones. Pure virgins, oddly enough, are resistant to this approach but that is something that can easily be rectified.
A Noble Succubi's power to control others is incredibly strong but there's one key thing to remember – it only affects biological females, be they human or elf or demi. Even female demons can fall under their sway. Men are immune due to the terrible curse put upon them by God. Hermaphrodites or futanari aren't immune but are highly resistant.
Noble Succubi feed like most female demons, preying on the life energy of other beings. They accomplish this by one of three methods. The first and least surprising is through sexual intercourse or any intimate contact. The second is drinking blood like a vampire might. The final and most horrific option is consuming a person whole, alive or not, to sate their voracious hunger. Each has their benefits and drawbacks, but it usually just comes down to personal preference.
Intercourse. As a succubus, they can draw out and absorb the life energy of anyone they have sex with. The rate at which they do this is determined by a number of factors including individual aptitude and want. It also depends on the duration and the type of physical contact made, meaning passionate lovemaking is certain to yield more than a simple massage. The longer and more intimate, the more a Succubus gets and the weaker their prey becomes until they either pass out or expire. It doesn't always go that far, however; disposing of bodies can get tiresome while having a renewable source is much more beneficial. Of course, some just don't care and would rather indulge in carnal pleasures at the expense of others.
Vampirism. Drinking blood is another way Succubi can steal a person's vitality for themselves. It's quicker and more convenient than sex but the trade-off is it yields less and leaves a distinct wound, however small, on their victim. Whether or not they expire from the feeding, this mark can raise the suspicion of either especially observant people or someone doing a thorough examination. That is why some succubi drain every last drop and dispose of the body. Though there are advantages to leaving prey alive like using them as cattle. As with intercourse, a Succubus can drink just enough to get by while not enough to kill. It works best with handmaidens and sleeping or mesmerized victims.
Consumption. Through some physiological miracle a Succubus can eat an adult human whole and intact. It can be a strenuous process depending on how curvy or endowed their prey is but well worth the effort. Of the three methods it yields the most, breaking down and absorbing everything for the succubus. However it takes the longest and can leave her exposed. A distended gut stuffed with a sometimes squirming person is difficult to logically explain, after all. It's also challenging even for a Succubus to haul such an awkward burden around.
The Noble Succubi posed so great a threat that something had to be done. In an effort to reign in or destroy them, God placed a series of curses upon these fiendish women so they might never menace creation again. Each was said to be derived from their sins, their vanity and pride, to be punishments that truly fit the crime. And while they yet endure to this day, God's curse has constrained their evil and given hope to mankind.
If a Succubus is exposed against her will, it will sap her strength and leave her in a vulnerable state. While that might sound silly today, a woman's modesty or lack thereof was very important in some cultures of the past. Fashion played a part in this, being a major status symbol then and now. It is therefor only proper Succubi are brought to heel when they are stripped of their clothes and pride. However there is no effect unless it is the embodiment of her womanhood that is laid bare. In other words, her groin and bosom.
The loins of a woman are the source of all life so it holds a special significance. It's also a very delicate and sensitive part of her body. To expose it therefor has the most profound consequences thanks to the curse! When a Succubus has her panties pulled down against her will, she loses all control of her body and all her powers. It may even leave her catatonic! And if not, she'd be susceptible to blows her resilient body could otherwise endure. Her panties don't need to be pulled down all the way but the fabric must at least vacate the groin. Pulling the garment to one side won't work and will only make a Succubus flustered or angry. The curse also works if she's wearing any kind of bathing suit instead of panties. There are several ways to undo these effects. A Succubus must have her garment restored to its proper place or, failing that, receive oral stimulation to her genitalia. Naturally it would be very bad if a man were to do this. The only other way is wait until the curse abates but this takes time and by then it will probably be too late. Of note, if a Succubus falls unconscious from losing her panties, she can be roused without undoing the paralysis or seal on her powers by receiving a kiss on her lips or womanhood.
While not as pronounced, exposing the chest of a Succubus still has an effect. She will not be paralyzed or even lose her powers but instead experience intense humiliation. It is momentary but long enough to leave her distracted and vulnerable as she tries to regain composure from this sudden panic attack. A quick thinking opponent can get the drop on Succubus or even go after her panties. Of course, if she gets her breasts covered up again, she will recover instantly so timing is everything.
Succubi were so enamored with their own beauty that they went to great lengths to accentuate it. They put on the finest makeup, wore the most extravagant clothing and jewelry. All to preen and flaunt in front of their peers. God saw fit to punish this extreme vanity by making it unbearable to live without those luxuries. He turned their passion into an obsession, an inescapable prison that would curb their subversive ways and make it almost impossible to hide in plain sight.
The primary way this curse manifests is in how a Succubus can dress. They coveted finery so now they must wear it always or else they will experience discomfort. Whatever is stylish and expensive. The garments don't necessarily have to be flashy or formal but it must be high quality. Cheap materials simply will not suffice. And no matter the outfit, their undergarments must be extravagant lingerie. Even the odd tomboy must abide by this.
Another major aspect of the curse involves the color of their clothing and the coordination thereof. Every girl on transformation will find themselves inextricably drawn to a specific color that they must include in their ensemble at all times. So strong is this impulse that failure to include this color will cause extreme anxiety or panic attacks. Despite this, Succubi will try to find loopholes and some may even find modest success. Clever use of layers or strategically allocating the colors to specific garments can mitigate these circumstances to a degree. Some Succubi may be blessed with two colors and rarer still are those who can change theirs by wearing the cursed heels of others and absorbing the magic contained within.
In a modern world where fashion is more 'open', these become less of an issue, but all it takes is a keen observer who knows what they are looking for. Never mind places with more restrictive dress codes or cultural norms that define appropriate attire. No mater what a Succubus does, it will eventually give her away if she's not careful.
The greatest irony of God's curse is that Succubi are undone by the very thing they sought to usurp – Men. These pernicious women will expire if they are brought to climax by a man or ingest his seed. They will succumb to arousal so intense their minds and bodies practically break but not before suffering through successive orgasms. A half dozen at least! It is a punishment fit for their wickedness, for their pride and lust.
Other bodily fluids may do harm as well. A man's blood is poisonous and while a small amount won't kill Succubi, it can inhibit their regenerative abilities and cause excruciating pain. Saliva behaves in a similar fashion, though its effects are more like an allergic reaction with a hint of arousal. Fortunately for Succubi, it's not enough to get it on their skin; these fluids must either be ingested somehow or enter through a wound.
The Noble Succubi are insidious foes and a threat to all humanity. Just one can destroy a community, corrupting it from the inside out. Just one can multiply into dozens by seducing wayward women and transforming them into new succubi. If this wasn't enough, they also possess phenomenal strength and magic that exceeds what mortals can normally achieve. But for all that power, Succubi are not unstoppable or invincible. They have weaknesses that can be exploited by clever opponents and are few in number. Enemies meanwhile surround them on all sides, protectors of humanity working to end the threat of these unscrupulous women. Yes, the Succubi may've escaped the Garden of Eden but they are not free to do as they please.
Although the succubi have menaced civilization for countless eons, they have not done so unopposed. Over that time many institutions were created to thwart their ambitions and ultimately end their evil once and for all. What shape these take depends on who they serve. Religious bodies may have specialized orders of inquisitors and exorcists while world governments employ covert operatives to seek and destroy succubi coteries. However different these organizations, their methods remain largely similar.
The first step is always uncovering the presence of Succubi. It is by no means an easy feat as they will make every effort to blend in and hide from the authorities. A common strategy is to wait for them to slip up in some way, though unfortunately that usually means there will already be victims. Succubi can be very greedy, after all, and may cause too many 'disappearances' at once as they glut themselves. A more exhausting but proactive process involves screening the population. Of course, it'd be very impractical to follow every single woman so typically the focus is on people at risk. Elite schools, major businesses, and government offices are just a few examples. Specialists work feverishly to try and identify suspicious persons or changes in behavior and dress of regulars.
When suspicions have been raised, most organizations will launch some kind of investigation to confirm them. If they have the luxury of time, an agent – usually a girl – may be sent undercover to get close to potential suspects and gather evidence. To check for all the signs. It is risky, however; a succubus will be less wary of the fairer sex but that is because she has the power to influence any female. If that is deemed too dangerous, a stakeout will be conducted where agents watch from afar. It's much safer but it's also harder to identify all but the sloppiest of Succubi.
Swift action will then be taken once a Succubus has been identified. Authorities will work to isolate and then ambush the Succubi before they have an opportunity to react. How this is specifically done and what comes after is where organizations will start to differ. It will also depend on the time period and society in which it is all happening.
Subduing Succubi is impossible only for the unprepared. Someone who understands their strengths and weaknesses and who has planned ahead will not only fight a Succubus on equal footing but can defeat her in detail. Entire coteries can be brought down by a clever adversary without ever being put in real danger. It all just requires putting in the necessary work. As a famous general once said:
Improper. To fight the Succubi, it is important to first recognize what doesn't work. The Nobilis do not share all the same vulnerabilities as other demons so relying solely on traditional methods will therefor lead to disaster.
These creatures do not shy away from crosses and won't even think twice about wearing them. Regular silver and cold iron will not harm Succubi, either; these metals must be pure and consecrated in holy water before they have any effect. Only then will they weaken a succubus by sapping her strength and hampering her regenerative abilities. It can even slay a succubus if shaped into a phallus and used to bring her to climax. Holy water by itself only works if ingested or gets somewhere sensitive like the eyes, causing anguish in either case. Contact with skin will only have a mild effect. At most a succubus would experience an itching sensation.
How sacred relics and hallowed ground affects Succubi is a little more complicated. They can enter all but the holiest sites without showing any visible sign of debilitation. That does not mean there aren't any consequences but they are able to maintain their charade of humanity. In reality she will experience fatigue more readily and the potency of her hypnotic powers will be reduced. Likewise Succubi can be in the presence of relics touched by the divine but they cannot hold them without experiencing some kind of discomfort. Holy texts are a different matter. Whether it's the Bible or Koran or something else, a Succubus can touch and even read from it unless it is an original or particularly significant copy imbued with spiritual power. The newer the reprint, the less it will affect them.
Noble Succubi also cannot be banished like most demonkind. This is due to how they are created. They were women who became demons in the mortal world rather than originating from another plane. They and their progenitors are not from some hell or abyss so attempting to expel or 'send them back' wouldn't do anything. Exorcisms are likewise ineffective because these women are not possessed by demons but became demons themselves. It will at least cause pain, though!
Proper. There are thankfully alternatives, weaknesses largely unique to Noble Succubi. These can make the difference in what would otherwise be a daunting confrontation. They just have to be applied correctly to draw out their full potential.
God's Curse is perhaps the most crucial asset in the hunting Succubi. It is their Achilles heel, hobbling any effort to hide and corrupt God's work. Through it, Mankind's protectors can identify these fel women by color and mark. They can be subdued through humiliation – by pulling down their panties – and laid low with a righteous dicking. Because of it Succubi live in fear but it is not the only thing their enemies can exploit.
Useful weapons against the Succubi can be found in nature. Certain types of plants will adversely affect Succubi and their abilities. White Chrysanthemum, a longtime symbol of truth and purity, can be used as a ward so long as its fresh and alive. It will thwart minor illusions and weak hypnosis. If the flower is imbued with enough spiritual energy or a strong blessing, it can compel a Succubus to tell a single truth or even reveal her demonic features. The former requires that she kiss its petals while the latter must see the flower grace her “petals” or touch her stigma. The vaunted mistletoe is another plant with very special properties. When hung in a doorway, it prevents a Succubus from stunning victims with a kiss or draining their life energy so long as she is in its presence. However, its true potential is revealed when the plant is consecrated. Should a Succubus step under it then while wearing cursed heels, she will be trapped. It will be as if her feet are glued to the ground, unable to lift them even with her supernatural strength. If she isn't wearing shoes, she will be able to move around but have a hard time stepping out from under it. Either way, it's temporary with the duration depending on how strong a Succubus is. The weaker she is, the longer it lasts with the only other recourse being that she kiss someone. Unfortunately that someone is usually a man.
It's not just flora but fauna also has value. There are certain animals that are natural enemies of Succubi. Dogs specifically. Their loyalty to humanity is well known, often associated with shepherds who protect the flock. Of course, only certain rare breeds are useful as tools in the fight against Succubi and only after training. It is said these canines trace their roots all the way back to the Garden of Eden and the original beasts that God set upon these evil women. They can detect the pheromones Succubi give off, making it easier to hunt them. They will even know to go after her panties, grabbing at the hem with their mouths to pull these garments down. It's even rumored some have poisonous saliva or venom which weakens the Succubi, paralyzing them long enough to expose their shame. Once this happens, they will either lick her until she cums her last or mount and rut her to death. This isn't solely for the benefit of men, though; Succubi are their prey and, once finished, the dogs will eat their catch whole despite any size disparity.
Of course, not everything in the fight against Succubi is mystical or fancy. Pragmatism and cunning are just as important. Outwitting a Succubus is the first major step in defeating her and this is made easier by one simple fact – most succubi lack any kind of formal training. It's important to remember Succubi typically favor a demographic that doesn't face any kind of hardship. Rich women, spoiled brats, debutantes, celebrities. Popular girls in school. They may have money or influence but combat experience of any kind is usually lacking. In some cases they won't even have common sense let alone the guile to effectively use their magic. They can be very predictable, using their powers like a blunt instrument instead of a scalpel. Succubi are also normally extremely proud, especially the newer converts. The very thought of being defeated by anyone, let alone a man, is inconceivable to them. There are a lot of ways to turn this against succubi and a good example is by using booby traps. They are especially useful in dealing with the unnatural speed Succubi posses, something they get from their magic heels. While it won't paralyze her, removing them would dramatically slow her down. Still, caution is always advised. The tables can easily be turned if they are underestimated in kind.
The consequence of defeat or capture by men is very dire for Succubi. There is no clemency or pity, no mitigating circumstances or chance at redemption. The best they can hope for is an ignoble end after cumming their last. The only other alternative is imprisonment for all eternity, usually in some humiliating and debased capacity. Either way, they are treated like objects and little less.
Of course, every culture and time period differs in their approach. In places where there is no masquerade, no delicate separation of what is real and what is fantastical, Succubi that are caught might be publicly shamed. They may be dragged out into the streets or a town square, panties around their ankles, where they will be executed in a humiliating spectacle of coitus. Their bodies will then either be left on display as a warning or disposed of in some way, perhaps being fed to beasts.
Where people cease believing in mystical things, typically modern societies, dealing with Succubi is a little more complicated. Removing their threat without revealing their existence becomes a balancing act. They must be dispatched in the shadows, vanishing 'mysteriously' or through some elaborately orchestrated cover-up. Girls might be reported as missing or having runaway when in reality they were detained by the proper authorities. If that leaves too many lingering questions, an 'accident' or 'illness' might be used to explain the abrupt disappearance. These are preferred when dealing with celebrities-turned-succubi or when disposing of a whole coterie at once.
Imprisonment might be the norm for a civilized people who view sexecution with some discomfort. However, that may be a fate worse than death depending on the conditions. Succubi are immortal, after all, and will not die of natural causes which means they could be confined for all eternity. Powerless and unable to express their vanity. 'Humane' facilities may afford them limited space to move, maybe even a time to mingle, but this is uncommon due to how dangerous Succubi are. A desperate girl may resort to cannibalism to restore her power or conspire with others to escape. For that reason most of these prisons will confine them in tiny cells, naked and bound. In high tech facilities, they are stored in stasis chambers or specialized vacuum beds. Succubi may have superior mental and physical endurance but the thought of being trapped like this until the end of time can be suffocating.
Not everyone who fights the Succubi are doing it for selfless reasons or even to protect humanity. They instead view Succubi as a commodity, something to be used or sold. The milk that Succubi produce has an intoxicating, almost addictive effect on people so it can be sold for a hefty sum on the black market. Anyone brave or foolish enough to catch Succubus alive could then use them like a dairy cow. Of course, with what the milk does to women, these operations are highly illegal and anyone caught with the substance will be punished severely. The incredibly wealthy and eccentric might also have a special interest in Succubi. It is rumored that certain circles see the Succubi as a rare delicacy with some people willing to shell out a lot of money at a chance to eat one whole. People that don't have the capacity to swallow others or just have different interests may instead seek to keep Succubi as some sort of exotic pet for their amusement. Whatever the situation, there is a lot of risk involved. If a Succubus ever got free, she would undoubtedly seek revenge on everyone responsible for her imprisonment.
Taking trophies is a common practice when dealing with Succubi regardless of who is hunting them. Their heels or panties are very popular choices and even other succubi will take these when dealing with rivals. Some may take the whole ensemble, stripping bare their quarry with maximum care so that the outfit can be framed or put on a mannequin. More audacious souls will take the whole succubus, dead or alive, as a trophy. Usually dead, as it is a lot safer and their bodies do not decay so taxidermy is not required, but not always. The Succubus will be mounted somewhere, bound and posed. Her goods will be on full display for the enjoyment of her 'owner'.
My preferences are myriad and layered. Luckily I have most of them listed on my hub, The_Queen_Consort. Please defer to it and read the interest tab from top to bottom. What it contains will make the difference between a pleasant experience and, er, a not-pleasant experience. For your benefit, I will briefly highlight some of the more relevant topics to this profile and setting.
I created the Noble Succubi with certain things in mind. A big part of that is bad girls being defeated by good guys. The idea of being caught, defeated, sexecuted, and then eaten really turns me on. Oh, yeah, and sexecutions. Being rutted until I cum my last, my face twisting into ahegao? That hits all the right buttons.
The setting and Succubi are set up in such away to accommodate my predilection for clothing play, in case that wasn't abundantly clear. The major sticking point here is attention to detail. The more detailed and well-written, the more aroused I become. I'm really into fashion and cosplay so that is why it matters to me.
Bestiality, bondage, mind control, and corruption. Just some examples of relevant interests that can be explored with my Noble Succubi. Like I said, though, The_Queen_Consort goes into greater depth of all my wants and needs.
If you have any questions, though, please ask!
After reading the profile up to this point, you may be thinking "surely this is a lesbian only character". Let me assure you this isn't the case at all! I am more than happy to play with male characters but on the condition they are predators.
All males, without exception, are poisonous to the Succubi as described above. That means that if a succubus ingests or is screwed by a male/futa, she will perish. It will be an orgasmic death, obviously, but still a death!
Male characters are also welcome to participate in storylines that aren't necessarily vorish or sexual. A character could be a friend of a girl that became a succubus or a male character can become a knight to a prominent Noble. There are options.
Long story short, predator males or males looking for involvement in a plotline/story are both welcome.
Succubi will have many enemies both from within their own ranks and from those who want to foil their nefarious ambitions. In the case of the latter, I want to make it clear I am not interested in evil versus evil. I want my human adversaries to be good guys and heroes thwarting evil succubi. Idealism or naivety is perfectly fine as well as consummate professionalism but they must have noble intentions.
A very good example is Tanjiro from Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba). Although inexperienced, he has a lot of potential and grows as a character. More relevant to my interests, he's a good person that still slays demons regardless of what their backstory is (and many demons have tragic backstories). He also doesn't necessarily harbor any ill will toward the demons he slays but it has to be done to save lives. And after he kills them, he typically pays his respects. Perhaps in a way knowing they weren't bad people prior to turning. Jujutsu Kaisen's main protagonist, Itadori Yuji, is another excellent example. He believes in leading everyone to a proper death and wants to save literally everyone. I can think of no death more proper than a good sexecution!
Internal squabbles between rival Succubi is another matter, of course. They can be as good or as evil as needed. It is essentially a different fantasy so there are other wants and expectations at work. A competition between two ambitious women who're trying to thwart each other, for instance. Or a jealous Succubi working to undermine her better.
Both, I am amicable to both. If you just want a quickie, we can throw something together with randomly generated characters and have at it. At a school, at a club, at a mansion. Whatever.
However, story driven sessions are my cup of tea! Whether it's one long session or multiple over the course of days or months. The deeper and richer the story, the more enthralled I become. I'm not very good at leading them myself but I will do my best if I end up in the role of game master. If you want to create an adventure for me, that's cool too.
In keeping with what I alluded to earlier, our story can either follow a good guy trying to ferret out Succubi for the good of mankind or a newly minted succubus with big dreams and ambition. Her story would be about creating a new coterie and rising through the ranks while evading heroes and defeating rivals.
I am open to either, though I typically lean prey. As a predator, though, I must reiterate Noble Succubi only prey on women. Men are poisonous so I will not pursue them. Please do not ask me to change this as it defeats the purpose of the setting I crafted. Otherwise anything female is fair game and my Succubi will pursue them regardless of whether they are human or anthropomorphic.
As prey, there are several directions we can take. If you want to be the Noble Succubus, I could play as a soon-to-be victimized mortal girl. Otherwise I can play as villainous succubi waiting to be defeated by some agent of good. Then there's the always reliable rivalry between two succubi where one finally gains advantage over the other.
Of course, we can develop alternate scenarios too!
If you like my ideas and want to play this kind of succubus, go right ahead. If you want to create characters based off the Noble Succubi, you can even link it to my profile! And if you want a role reversal, where you are the succubus and I'm a victim or else a hunter sent to bring you to justice, I would be very much up for it.
And if your character is transformed into a Noble Succubus, I would love to list it on TheNoblesseOblige. With your permission, of course! It wouldn't have be canonical in your profile. Call it an alternate canon, universe, or whatever.
