Thousand Year Old Succubus - Onwards as Chastity!
🕑 Added 2023-04-17 12:17:22 +0000 UTCWith v0.12 out and seemingly stable I'm taking a quick break to play some Thousand Year Old Vampire!
Recap
Last time we played our immortal succubus ascended to the title of Dutchess. For over a hundred years she has ruled the dutchy of Helvia, pretending to be her own daughter any time her ageless nature becomes too obvious to ignore. A chance encounter with the wolf-man Kylian left her with a primal, perhaps uncontrollable, lust for other immortals. In response our succubus has turned to the Church, retitling herself Chastity and gaining expertise in restraints both physical and mental.
Here's a sketch of our girl sometime in the fifteenth century:
Today's Session
We ended on the second part of prompt #11. As normal I roll 1d10-1d6: 3-5. We slide back 2 prompts to #9
"You develop a system for feeding. What is it? What happens to those who die? Create a skill to reflect this."
Memory 5 (Debauchery)
3. When nobles visit I bring the young, the inexperienced, the over-eager to my quarters and show them everything: the chains, the restraints, the whips. They submit to my will - there is no resisting me - and I demonstrate what true pleasure can be drawn from denial. I have broken more than a few pretty little things like this - I hand them back to their family as empty husks, begging to be used again.
Skill
Maestra of Flesh; My hands play people like instruments. I drive them to the deepest pits of despair, to the highest peaks of ecstasy, and leave them begging for more. Always, always more.
Conveniently we develop a system for feeding after we've gotten our urges under control. I imagine Chastity could maintain this lifestyle for a long time if nothing disturbs her. If nothing critical changes in the next prompt I'll probably advance the timeline another hundred years or so.
More dice rolling: 5-6, so we slip back to prompt #8.
"You are recognized for what you are by another creature like yourself. Create an immortal character. Lose a Resource and gain a Skill. What did you lose to them?"
Memory 6 (Jealousy)
1. Victoria attends my yearly gala. She arrives in a dress of liquid gold and brilliant pearls and I am smitten. Her body is all I can see in the crowd. I want her; I want to be her; I want her dead. My body just wants to get fucked - traitorous flesh. She ignores me all night, and so does everyone else. Like Lucifer I fall from grace before her youth and beauty. When she is gone I have the palace guard burn my dresses - what point is there holding a candle against the sun?
Immortal
Victoria of Bohemia; A succubus of grace, charm, and mean spirit. She attends my dances, steals my consorts, snubs my advances. I must have her!
Skills
Shrewd Manipulator; mortal minds are simple enough to change with the right incentives. I have become very, very good at finding the right incentives.
A challenger appears! Over a decade or more Chastity and Victoria circle each other like sharks, never committing to a confrontation, never letting the other out of their sight. Chastity is almost certain to be on the losing end of any interaction due to her most recent Mark - she'll be putty in Victoria's hand; perhaps she already is.
Time for some more dice! 8-5, that moves us forward to prompt #11. We've been here twice before, and prompts tend to get worse the further into them you get.
"Your control breaks. You slaver and kill and revel in blood. You are your hunger. What were the last words of your closest friendly Character, mortal or immortal, as you feasted upon them? Change a beloved Memory to a lie in which you murder to protect yourself. Create a Skill that invokes the name of a dead Character in a mocking way."
Memory 4 (Lust)
1. I had searched for him for a century, but it was Victoria who arranged our meeting. Faron arrived in a gilded carriage pulled by white chargers and followed by his honour guard. I brought him to my bedroom and restrained him - willingly, at first. Upon his body I satisfied a century of desire. He was my everything. My first love. My one true purpose. When his guard demanded him back I had them killed.
By force of will I unmade him, laid bare the man he use to be, took every scrap of pleasure I have ever denied myself. "More, more, more..." he whispered in the end, before growing ever silent. He does not die - immortal he remains - so I keep him chained in my bedroom for my entertainment.
Memory 4 (Lust) [Updated]
My handmaiden Aliana came to visit me in Regenesburg . After a year surrounded by pious women of faith her beauty and freedom struck me like a tempest. She snuck back that night, and upon the chapel altar we defiled each other. She called to God but she was praying to me with every breath and gasp.
Sister Superior found us at dawn, naked and entwined. I begged her to stay silent, offered coin, penance, anything she wanted. While we talked Aliana struck her from behind with a candlestick. I murder Aliana myself to cover my tracks - nobody must know! I must leave the name Mira behind, for now. I introduce myself only as Mary - like the virgin.
Skills
Faron's Teachings; I have drawn from immortals a millennia's worth of experience. There is nothing in love that I do not know, that I cannot embody.
Whew, that was a lot in one prompt! I mark Faron as dead - he is more furniture than person now. I imagine this was a trap laid out by Victoria, but it remains unclear who was suppose to perish in our encounter, Chastity or Faron. Perhaps both?
I feel a little bad for Chastity after this. Aliana was the only person she can really remember being a friend and not just a pawn to be used and discarded. Now she thinks she murdered her friend in cold blood. Hopefully the next few prompts will give us the chance to introduce some characters and maybe enter a more positive phase of Chastity's life.
One more prompt for today. I roll: 1 and 3. Back to prompt #9. We've been here before, so we use the second entry.
"You not only drink the blood but financially profit from your victims as well! How do you arrange this? What atrocity do you commit to protect this system? Check a Skill, create a Resource."
Memory 7 (Further Debauchery)
1. The lords and ladies of court have noticed a pattern. When pretty little things leave my doors they are soft, obedient, eager to please in every way imaginable. I am hardly surprised when the lords start to send their ladies to me on purpose. I accept pay for the service, but the feelings of betrayal are what truly lure me. I break them gently, of course: with loving fingers, soft lips, and welcoming hips.
Resources
Blackmail; The courts of the Holy Roman Empire would be rocked to the core if they knew what I've done and, more importantly, who paid me to do it.
I was torn between checking off Maestra of Flesh or I Control the Beast. I decide that Chastity is being charitable and taking a softer approach, so I check Maestra of Flesh.
Chastity seems well situated to hold her position in Helvia for the foreseeable future, so I'll roll time forward a fair bit next time I play (I'm also going to have to brush up on my history!). Chastity doesn't age, but I do imagine her becoming more matronly as time goes on - larger breasts, larger hips, a more commanding presence. If she picks up any more Marks I'll probably make this explicit and turn it up to 11 in the art.
