General Overview

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. Finally, by their own as they were corrupted from within.

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

These scions of Hell and Humanity were known by many names (imps, mares, fiends, etc.), but the most common was Succubi for females and Incubus for males. Those of neither gender refer to themselves simply as Imps.

They cannot feed off souls as a full demon can and instead sustain themselves with the life energy of humanity and other living creatures.

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.
