About the gender roles thing: the term "Succubus" uses the male grammatical gender. (The mythological origin descriptive them as demons that could switch between the roles. The names are literally the Latin version of "Top" and "Bottom")
Love the sketch with the succubus embracing someone with their wings. However, the composition you chose instead conveys the thread such a fiend poses much more strongly.
Going by the notion that succubi have aesthetics based on which demon lord they serve, those who serve Orcus would be on a duality, either being extremely fat in their true form, which no kink shaming here, like their lord or skeletally thin like the undead their patron rules over. That said, I like the idea that rather than incubi being solely male and succubi solely female, they are either depending on whether they're dominant or submissive, and then concubi for the switches. And that said, I took a page from Pathfinder and have Nocticula or some other Succubus Queen being the mother of all succubi and incubi and they may or may not be born of the demon lords they serve, it's true for some, but their true appearance comes from which demon lord they serve in part because it's supposed to be a sign of alliance between said Succubus Queen and whichever demon lord her succubi and incubi serve. This should be problematic as most of the demon lords fight each other almost as much as they do the mortals and Good-aligned extraplanar entities who oppose them, but it's all part of the Succubus Queen's manipulations. And it works because her sons and daughters are loyal to her first, then the demon lords, they stay by the demon lords' sides because their mother tells them to.
@@JoshuaRWorkman I take alot of inspiration for my succubi from the story of Nocticula and how Paizo has depicted them, which is what got me thinking about changing the depiction in the first place xP
@@itslegendlore Well, before this video, my succubi were female and incubi were male as in the books and concubi didn't exist, but I'm considering adding these changes.
Nocticula is also a great example of how redemption works in PF2e, and makes a thematic deity for lower realm nephilim or even a Barghest (goblinoid gluttony demon)
If succubi aand incubi are the source of so many tieflings, its a shame we didnt get a sorcerer bloodline to use them. Some hybrid between Abberant Mind's enchantments and Divine Soul's (un)holy magic

@@AGS363 yeah that was one of the things covered in the concubus article I linked below it’s really interesting xzp

@@PlaneswalkerTARDIS agreed, there should definitely be a fiendish bloodline sorcerer
Hey bebe.
Anyone else a bit weirded out on making stuff out of a sapient creature?
