Lilans

Lilans, also called Succubus and Incubus were demons who were known for their love of pleasure. They were led by the demon queen Lilith, and resided in the Abyss.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Succubus/Incubus are like humanoids in appearance because they were previously devas. Now, they have horns on their heads, bat-like wings, terrible claws on their hands, and deadly lips. However, despite these features, they often look like very attractive humanoids, which draws in mortals. They can also be gendered, unlike other demons.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Lilans have the ability to charm humanoids and shapeshift. This allows them to be particularly deceptive. What is more dangerous is the power of their kiss: it has the ability to take the lives of humanoids. They use their psychic powers to drain the mind and health of a victim, potentially killing them.

Civilization and Culture

History

In the creation of Cardia, the celestial blood of Amagus spilled from his heart once he formed his bride. This blood would emerge for Cardia to create angels in her service. One of the groups of angels would be led by Lilith, a powerful solar. However, Lilith began to resent Cardia's idea of love: sacrificial, hard-working, and disciplined. Lilith preferred sensual love and achieving pleasure. She garnered support with the lesser angels. Lilith's faction soon became called the Lilans, and took on the terms Succubus and Incubus for themselves.   However, Cardia became disgusted as the Lilans began spreading acts of hedonism and lust instead of sacrifice and care. Lilith rebelled against Cardia, and Cardia sent the Lilans down into the Abyss as punishment for their evil. They transformed from devas into terrible demons. Their bird-like wings were replaced with those of a bat, their skin turned red, and their heads grew horns. From this, the succubus were bent on taking humanity, which Cardia loved dearly, down with them by trying to trap them in the sins of hedonism and lust.
Lilith is the queen of the Succubi and Incubi, and is considered the most beautiful of all the demons.
