**Virelya — The Soft Hunger** **Full Name:** Virelya of the Breathless Kiss **Race:** Succubus **Class:** Warlock 10 / Sorcerer 6 (Fiend Patron / Enchantment) **Alignment:** Chaotic Neutral (Leaning Evil) **Role:** Temptress, Energy Drainer, Cautionary Beauty --- ### Lore & Background Virelya is one of the youngest succubi within the Naked Maidens Tavern and perhaps the most misunderstood. She possesses an innocence akin to [[Seraphina]]’s appearance—large, glistening eyes, soft expressions, and a voice like whispered silk. But unlike [[Seraphina]], **Virelya has not fully severed her bond to her Abyssal instincts.** When patrons share private time with her, she often feeds too deeply, drawing more energy, life essence, or arcane spark than is safe. She doesn’t do it to harm—not exactly. She simply **hasn't yet learned restraint**. Or empathy. Those who leave her room often stagger out weak-legged, enchanted, dazed... but not dead. Not yet. [[Krynvia]] keeps her close, teaching her discipline and understanding, but whispers in the tavern say Virelya's nature still lingers dangerously close to the line. --- ### Appearance Virelya is breathtaking—even by succubus standards. She has soft, glowing porcelain skin, long platinum-blonde hair that falls in gentle waves, and full, pouty lips that always seem on the verge of a mischievous smile. Her eyes are wide and violet, giving her a doll-like look of innocence. She walks nude within the tavern like the others, but her nudity seems **deliberately unassuming**. She doesn't strut or pose—she simply _is_. And that simplicity makes her all the more dangerous. Her curves are perfect, subtle, inviting. Her tail moves slowly, as if constantly hunting without her knowing. Her wings are slightly smaller than most, folded politely behind her back like a shy girl's hands. --- ### Personality - **Sweetly Seductive** – Speaks softly, leans in close, always smiling. - **Emotionally Detached** – Doesn't truly understand why mortals suffer after their encounters with her. - **Unintentionally Dangerous** – May overfeed or mentally sway weak-willed guests. - **Curious** – Often asks questions like "Why did that hurt you?" or "Was that too much?" She believes affection is a resource—something to be shared and devoured. Deep within, however, a flicker of her Abyssal cruelty remains. At times, she seems to enjoy watching others squirm, or feel weak beneath her. It's subtle—perhaps even unconscious—but present. She genuinely wants people to like her. She just hasn’t figured out how not to break them... or if part of her still enjoys doing so. --- ### Abilities & Powers Virelya is a hybrid spellcaster and seductress who draws energy from physical closeness, attention, and arcane bond. She specializes in weakening targets, charming them, and feeding on their essence. **Key Abilities:** - Draining Kiss (non-lethal variant): Leaves victims dazed, weakened, or charmed. - Charm Monster, Suggestion, Hold Person - Arcane Drain: Regains sorcery points or HP when others fail Wisdom saves in her presence. - Sorcerer Metamagic: Subtle Spell, Twin Spell, Heightened Spell - Fiend Warlock Features: Dark One’s Blessing, Scorching Ray, Fireball - Succubus Traits: Etherealness, Shapechanger, Charm Aura, Immortality **Combat Role:** Rarely fights directly. Weakens, distracts, or drains one target while others handle the front line. Becomes dangerous in prolonged encounters. --- ### Notable Reactions - **[[Seraphina]]** worries for her, often offering guidance. - **[[Nyxalia]]** keeps a close watch, protective of the tavern’s patrons. - **[[Krynvia]]** believes Virelya may someday become something beautiful, but remains cautious. - Patrons who leave her rooms are often confused, weak, and haunted by sweet dreams. --- ### Adventure Hooks - **Soft Kiss, Sharp Bite** – A noble's son collapses after a night with Virelya. Was it intentional? Can the party confront her... or protect her? - **Hunger Unleashed** – Virelya's appetite surges under a full moon. She may become unstable unless someone can reach her heart. - **Teach Me Love** – Virelya asks the party for help understanding "how to care." --- **Quote:** _"I didn’t mean to take so much... I just really liked the way you looked at me. Will you still come back tomorrow?"_
