Succubi

The succubus is a being who sustains life and gains power from lust energy. The succubi live in the plane of Hell along-side demons. Even though the demons and succubi originate from the same plane, they often have different motivations and goals. These goals are often in conflict and succubi and demons have been known to fight and war from time to time.

There are four succubus queens that rule the affairs of the succubi. While many succubi appear freelance, when there is war or other issues that require unity, the succubi follow the directives of the queens.

Abilities
The succubus can make use of lust energy to power the following abilities:


 * Invisibility
 * Transformation
 * Flight
 * Seduction/Suggestion
 * Pheromone production

Invisibility (main article invisible form)
The succubus can become invisible to mortals, demons and angels. This uses a small amount of lust energy and can be sustained for long periods of time. Invisibility does not work, however, if someone is otherwise aware of your presence (is actively looking for you) or has a sufficiently open and curious mind (as in the case of Spoons). Because of this drawback, the invisibility is not quite being completely unseen, but rather inconspicuous or less noticeable.

Transformation
Succubi can use lust energy to alter their appearance and clothing. They can appear as male or female (or futanari) in any imaginable clothing. This uses a tiny amount of lust energy and can be maintained with little effort. In some cases, like that of Euryale, parts of her appearance she had transformed and maintained, such as her hair and claws, without any conscious knowledge or effort. Only after the events of Euryale's Gambit did she realize that she had been unconsciously altering her true form.

Flight
Lust energy can be used to power flight for the succubus. Even though succubi have wings, flight is rather difficult without the aid of lust energy.

Seduction/Suggestion
A succubus can use lust energy when they speak to carry the words deep into the minds of the listener. Without sufficient mental fortitude the victim of this power will find it difficult to reject the suggestions of the succubus or to restrain from being seduced. The words often have hypnotic effects and can induce a trance if the listener is not careful. Once in a trance, the succubus can issue commands that the victim will not be able to ignore.

Pheromone production
Succubi use lust energy to produce pheromones in their bodily fluids that act as aphrodisiacs. In Catching Heat, Euryale used lust energy gained from the entity to cause Steve, Elena and her sisters to produce pheromones that would only affect specific targets. Specific targeted pheromones are generally not needed, but Euryale believed it would produce better results if Steve fell in love with Elena, Ceres and Tess without the aid of pheromones, thus the sister's pheromones did not affect Steve.
