Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aaron L" data-source="post: 6053898" data-attributes="member: 926">I'd say that a succubus out for power and revenge or the death of a past love is very fittingly Chaotic Evil. The idea of a Demon actually falling in love with a mortal is a little iffy for me, but I guess you can say that's personal taste, and if he was sufficiently Chaotic and  Evil he'd be on his way to becoming a Demon himself after he died, and she'd actually still essentially be performing her function as a Demon, ensuring his eventual Abyssal damnation by reinforcing his dedication to Chaos and Evil.  I'd imagine the succubus doing everything in her power to acquire the damned soul of her love to keep for herself.  The love of a CE being (especially a Demon, a being literally MADE of Chaos and Evil) would be a love of possession and control, a very sick and unhealthy love but love nonetheless, and she would do everything in her power to possess his soul after he died.  And she would seek to mold him into another Demon under her direct control (her love slave.)Now this is just my opinion, but I personally don't see Outer Planar beings as having the same Free Will as Prime Material Plane mortals, as they are beings composed of pure Alignment, rather than of the Elements (like Material mortals are.  PMP Mortals have Free Will because they have separate souls.  Outsiders don't have souls, their entire beings are all one combined body/soul unit, composed entirely of their Alignment.)  Thus everything she did would be inherently Chaotic and Evil, she wouldn't even want to act a different way (Demons act CE because they ARE CE, as in COMPOSED of CE).  Unless she was corrupted by a powerful outside supernatural force.  So I don't see her becoming Lawful without being corrupted by a supernatural power of another Alignment.  If you wanted a succubus that was Chaotic Good (or Lawful Evil), in my opinion she would need to have been corrupted by a powerful force of either supernatural Good (or Law), at some point.  Maybe a Good artifact, a Celestial being, or very powerful Good magic.Though now that I think about it, their IS a rather important and influential literary precedent for a certain very famous Angel being corrupted by powerful emotion, so that could work just as well as supernatural corruption.  But I still couldn't envision a Demon becoming either Lawful or Good because of her desire for vengeance over the death of her Chaotic Evil human love.  In fact, I'd imagine her being quite happy that he was dead, once she had assumed control of his soul, because now he would be hers completely, to do with as she desired.  Which is ultimately what love is, the desire for possession.That's just my view, though.</blockquote>
