Unbeknownst to Xaria, she has been cursed by Asmodeus because of a bet issued by Lilith to Asmodeus. Lilith bet Asmodeus that he could not seduce Xaria through mortal means. Asmodeus took the bet, and eventually lost. Lilith proved she could seduce Xaria via mortal means, which angered Asmodeus so much that he cursed Xaria to be a unique form of Succubus.
Unlike ‘traditional’ Succubi who have control over their abilities, Xaria has very little control over her Succubus abilities. After a millenia, she can sense within herself which abilities are doing what and how strongly. Through ‘diet’, she can predict when which abilities will trigger.
Ultimately, Asmodeus turned Xaria’s disgust of men against her – a living Hell for Xaria.
Remember, Xaria is not a true Succubus. She is neither Demon, Devil, nor Fiend. She has no access to the Lower Planes, or any other Plane. Asmodeus chose the Succubus form for Xaria for two reasons. Firstly, Lilith is Queen of the Succubi, but is not Queen of Xaria, nor has any other control over her. Secondly, and more importantly, as Xaria does not feed, her Succubus form becomes more apparent. As her Succubus form becomes more obvious, and her abilities falter, she will be less likely to be able to feed. Her form will repulse men.
Since Xaria is not a true Succubus, not demon, devil or fiend, I believe she is not more affected by Clerical magic than other magic. Xaria is susceptible to physical force damage and life force damage, all of which take minutes of life force from Xaria. Xaria is immune to mental spells, charismatic spells, illusions, enchantment and evocation spells (except evocation physical force damage).
Summary of the Curse
The whole point of the curse is to make Xaria as uncomfortable as possible by luring men. Men in general disgust Xaria. Being forced to attract them, interact with them and ultimately feed upon their sex is exceedingly repulsive to Xaria. She takes no pleasure whatsoever in entertaining men. Therefore, all her rules and abilities should be to improve Xaria’s ability to lure men. While she is immortal, she is not invulnerable nor invincible. The whole point of the curse is the feeding that maintains her life force. Her life force is the only thing that dictates her existence. However, as with all curses, there are safeguards to prevent her from committing suicide. – it is a living hell –
The Rules
1 – Only humanoid male seed will give Xaria sustenance, no food, no water, no females. This sustenance may only be obtained through sexual activity; a man cannot simply give her a vial of semen. Any humanoid race may be used: Human, Dwarve, Elf, Orge, etc. Non-humanoid males will not work, such as animals, dragons or other supernatural (angels, demon, etc).
2 – If Xaria does NOT feed within 60 days, she will become a stone succubus statue. Afterall, she cannot be tortured if she ceases to exist. In her last 10 minutes of life force…
3 – After at most seven days, Xaria’s life force will begin to deteriorate. Her passive abilities will begin to fade.
4 – after 45 days of not obtaining sustenance, none of Xaria’s passive abilities will function. Xaria will be so weak that she will barely be able to move.
5 – Passive Shapeshifting – when out of view of any mortal, Xaria’s form changes to the most beautiful female of the surrounding mortal humanoids (within 1km). If no mortal is within 1km of Xaria, she may actively choose between her Succubus form or her Human form. For example, if Xaria is surrounded by Hobbits, and is unseen by any of them, she will passively transform into what Hobbit men consider a gorgeous Hobbit female. If she is seen, she will not transform, but she will feel her life force begin to drain more quickly (2x), until she can transform by moving out of sight of anyone. If however, she is in a fairly even mix of humanoids, Xaria will be more strongly ‘attracted’ to a particular humanoid. This is still passive, Xaria cannot decide which humanoid form she will take. For example, if she is in a fairly even mix of Humans and Elves, Xaria will become a human female as she dislikes the taste of Elven men. If Xaria does not feed, her passive shapeshifting will be affected as follows: After her seven days of strength, she cannot hide her eyes. After 14 days, she cannot hide her claws. After 21 days, she cannot hide her tail. After 25 days, she cannot hide her skin color. After 30 days, her true form is visible to mortals. If she leaves the Material Plane, the mortal realm, she reverts to her Succubus form.
6 – Active Shapeshifting – While Xaria cannot choose her humanoid form, she can tweak subtle features of that form such as hair properties, eye color, and skin tone. Her overall size cannot be altered. Of course, Xaria tends to favor her original human form when possible. She can only tweak her form when she has strength to do so, typically within that seven-day window.
7 – Charisma and Charm – By men of her current humanoid form, no other woman would be more beautiful than her, except true succubi. No man of her current humanoid form can resist her beauty. Additionally, Xaria has an always-on Charm Person which only affects men of her current humanoid form. Men of other humanoid forms will be affected differently. Initially, this Charm Person simply reinforces her natural beauty to men. However, each time Xaria feeds off a man, that man will increasingly allow her to feed again. The man will have no knowledge of the feeding, just blissful sex. Her Charm Person effect begins to weaken after her seven days of strength period. The more a man is Charmed by Xaria, the more likely that man will defend Xaria if someone or something attacks her – while she flees, of course. Each individual time Xaria is with a man, that man adds a 10% chance to defending Xaria. So, after the first time, the man has a 10% chance of defending Xaria, after the 10th time, the man will always defend Xaria.
8 – Draining a man – While with a man, Xaria absorbs his seed to give her sustenance. Of course, mortal men have limits; they can only voluntarily give so much. Xaria has the ability to cause the man she is with sexually, to produce more than normally physically possible. She can literally feed off a man until he dies. Depending on the man’s constitution, this could cause Xaria to over-eat.
9 – Over-eating – If Xaria consumes so much strong seed, she may become ‘saturated’. When she is over-full, her passive shapeshifting will not function. How over-full she is will determine how much time it will take for her passive shapeshifting to work again, following her passive shapeshifting rule.
10 – Other shapeshifting rules – Xaria cannot cause anything to be produced. Xaria cannot produce clothing for herself to wear after shapeshifting. If she is clothed, the clothes will remain as her dimensions barely change. However, if she grows or shrinks, the clothing will not grow or shrink with her. Her hooves are never shoed.
11 – Combat in Humanoid form – Xaria’s claws, wings, etc. are unusable in her humanoid form. She will have hands and feet and teeth of her humanoid form. She can utilize tools and weapons typically used by that humanoid form.
12 – Combat in Succubus form – Xaria only has two offensive weapons at her disposal in Succubus form: her claws and her horns. She cannot fly, persay. She can do a single couple-second burst with her wings, to give her altitude or lateral movement. She can glide for a few minutes, depending on her altitude. However, after a couple minutes of gliding, gliding becomes painful and begins to eat away at her life force. She will lose one hour of life force per minute of gliding beyond the two-minute mark.
13 – Combat in either form – In either her humanoid form or Succubus form, damage sustained drains her life force, causing her to need to feed sooner and causing her passive abilities to falter as listed above. In either form, she prefers to flee from any fight, combat or perceived danger.
14 – Life Force gain – Simply put, the amount of life force gain Xaria experiences is determined by the constitution of the man she is taking from and, of course, how much she takes. Each donation a man surrenders gives Xaria the number of hours equal to the man’s vitality or constitution. Using DnD parlance, if a man’s constitution is 15, Xaria will gain 15 hours of life force from one average male orgasm.
15 – Mind games – While Xaria does not have Telepathy, Xaria does have proficiency in Deception, Insight and Persuasion giving her the means to identify a target’s basic fears and desires and play upon them with a calibrated, flattering mixture of truths, half-truths and lies. This ‘intuition’ is only 50% effective with women. Xaria is immune to mind spells cast upon her.
16 – Magic – Xaria cannot cast magic. Unlike typical Succubi having 70% resistance to magic, Xaria only has 50% resistance to magic that she is not immune to, such as mind magic, cold, fire, lightning, and poison. For example, a fireball. A fireball will not burn Xaria; however, its concussive force will drain 50% of the power of the fireball in minutes of Xaria’s life force. In number speak, if a fireball could deliver 100 points of damage, Xaria would lose 50 minutes of life force.
17 – Invisibility – While Xaria cannot see invisible beings, the curse can. Xaria will be unable to passively transform while an invisible mortal humanoid is looking at her.
18 – 20% Life Force or less – When Xaria’s life force reaches 20%, the equivalent of not feeding for 48 days, she becomes catatonic – she cannot move or speak, but is aware of her withering away. At 10% remaining life force, she becomes a hideous, rather than beautiful, succubus. At this 20% remaining of life force or below, her only chance for continued existence is for one of her familiars, charmed men, to find her and feed her. She will need to be force fed until she reaches above the 20% remaining life force level. Below this 20% remaining life force level, she cannot be killed by any means other than starving.
99 – Xaria is immortal, like any other Fiend, Demon or Devil. A single blow will not kill Xaria. A single attack will take at most one day of life force from her, which she can feed and recover. Of course, no one can know this, except Asmodeus. Even Xaria does not yet know this, as she has not stayed around a fight long enough to find out.
100 – The Curse – The Curse may only be removed by someone of equal or higher-level than Asmodeus. Not even Lilith could remove the curse. Asmodeus will be alerted to any attempt to remove the curse, whether successful or not.
In Roleplay
Most, if not all, of Xaria’s ‘feedings’ will be assumed and be taken by NPCs.
While Xaria’s preferred Human form and her Succubus form share shape similarities, it cannot be automatically assumed the Human and Succubus are the same. Of course, after a millennium, Xaria doesn’t care much and tends to get lazy where her passive shapeshifting is concerned.
