New page

=== General Overview ===
For centuries since the fall of Lucifer the darkness within has been fed by those whose fall most symbolized it: First the angels of heaven who rebelled and were cast into shadow, then those lesser demons born of the dark prince and Adam's first bride, and finally by their own as they were corrupted from within.

As the fallen and the infernal intermingled with humanity (something that would ironically have never happened were they not cast out in the first place) they produced offspring.

These scions of Hell and Humanity were called many names (imps, mares, fiends, etc.) but the most common of which is Succubi for females and Incubus for males (those of neither gender refer to themselves most commonly as simply Imps).

They cannot feed off of souls as a full demon could and instead feed off the life energy of humanity (and other living creatures).

They resemble human beings but usually have some or any of the following: horns, hooves/claws, tails or wings. Often all four, or any of the combination, it's not as common but some have been born completely human looking.

Because of their food source Imps are instinctively social creatures. They feel anxious without other living beings around, because of their very nature: loneliness to them is a similar feeling to starvation to human beings.

They often live in loose groupings. Not in the same sense as Lycanthrope packs or Covens of Witches, they don't work in teams, but they almost never live alone: preferring more bohemian communal living spaces.

=== Abilities ===
Like their nephilim counterparts Imps can possess many or any of the same abilities of their demonic parents but to a far lesser extent.

Their more unique ability is a more human variation on their progenitor's ability to take possession of souls, where they can drain the lifeforce of a human being.

This is a more complex process than it sounds. They can't simply just "do it" there must be connection of some sort, primarily a physical one but emotional will work as well.
==== Strengths ====
Succubi and Incubi are superhumanly strong, about on the same level as older vampires and alpha werewolves.

They are naturally charismatic. Like angler fish they lure in their prey, something about their features, body language, natural air, etc., something indescribable about them, lures others in and makes them want to get closer. This is somewhat involuntary and can affect others even when they don't mean it to.

Due to necessity in how they must feed, they are incredibly good at reading people.

==== Weaknesses ====
They often face stigma for being "born bad" no matter where they actually stand morally.

They can not eat normal human food and drink and are only sustained by the lifeforce of others. They can do this without any permanent harm to their targets but once they begin feeding it can be hard for them to control themselves and the more they drink the lower their inhibitions.
