Alright, for real this time. Here's a character concept I'm messing around with.

Nice to be here again!

During the nadir of the world, when men were weak and darkness strong, the beast Chernobog brought forth spirits of carnal desire to divide his foes and control his underlings. These supernatural parasites would possess the daughters of mankind, and empower their bodies to inflame the base lusts of those around them. For decades such powers could reside invisible within the bodies of humanfolk, breeding as they bred, emerging at the dark god's signal as if from nightmare. In this way Chernobog preyed upon the weakness of mortals to tempt men into betrayal, set tribe against tribe, poison the minds of the wise and enthrall the fragile will of his infantry.

But the Chernobog's conquest did not endure and his forces were finally scattered. Under the reign of the Exalted One, succubi were exorcised and killed by the dozen. The exalted Church fostered marriage and holy chastity among its faithful, and strong traditions of love and purity left no corner of Outremer for a succubus to hide.

No corner- for any [i]ordinary[/i] succubus.

Kinna Brookwidth was born already possessed by a ghost of the primordial days, as was her mother, and her mother's mother one hundred generations before her. A twist of fate ensured that her birth was auspicious for the amassing darkness in other ways- beautiful down to the last pore, she is the last heir of a small but deeply loved house of northern Arcos, the senior statesmen and officers of her father already loyal to her by the grace of his dying wish.

Culled for millenia by the churches of Outremer, the spirit within her no longer bears the power to change her form, nor call up magic, nor even to defend herself with inhuman teeth and claws. Even the simple ability to move from one body to another has been lost for lack of use, and if the spirit tried to escape from Kinna's body for more than a few seconds, it would surely die. What little remains of the Chernobog's ancient creation is a few words of that god's foul speech, and a trace of the old blood, with which some cruel sorcerer may one day resurrect the true succubi of old.

The power to inflame the hearts of men, too, is gone from Kinna. What the church has bred into her in its stead is exactly what it always sought to foster: an untouchable, radiant soul of purity and innocence. This soul has slept within her bloodline for a thousand years, with no spirit ever able to call it up. Now that darkness has once again awakened in the world, this soul has become active, and the spirit within her has long since lost the power to put it down.

Only the will of the strongest is resistant to Kinna's gentleness. Men who see her pledge their lives to ensuring her safety from all evil. Her false light is like the sun to them, the last and only source of hope in a cruel and darkening world. Those who do not love her are blind or degenerate. Those who hate her hate all that is pure and clean and beautiful. They will be cleared from her path, and purged from her sight. Churches will burn for the sake of Kinna's innocence; kings will be thrown down, armies raised, fields salted; if this fragile ray of perfection cannot be made to last, then the world does not deserve to live at all.

Kinna's existence is a grim laugh from Chernobog's many graves. As his other servants foster chaos and bloodshed, her beauty becomes all the more alluring, and the numbers of the desperate swell to follow the meaningless hope she provides. Men once faithful to the true light of the Exalted One will fight alongside orcs and trolls chasing some salvation that she cannot offer, and die in the mud still believing that they are protecting the holiness they have ground to dust beneath their heels.

Still settling on art for this char, this one by [url=https://www.artstation.com/alexchow]Alex Chow[/url] makes her look a little too evil.
