Aiushtha
A long-lived succubus that came from the Thirteen Floors of Armageddon centuries ago, Aiushtha is a heart-broken troublemaker who visits her turmoil among others.
Appearance
Aiushtha’s true form is that of a beautiful woman stuck in her late Twenties to early Thirties, with angle-length silver hair, out of which horns prominently stick out. Her eyes are a deep magenta, with pointed ears hidden by her hair.
A pair of bat-like wings and a chitinous tail sprout from the small of her back. Sporting an hourglass figure with an ample bust, she dresses provocatively to accentuate her figure.

Skills and Abilities
Seductive Gaze: Aiushtha was born with captivating eyes that only enhance her abilities as a succubus. Only the most strong-willed of individuals can resist outright. Adding potency to her seductive magic further drains her, forcing her to feed on spiritual and emotional energy more frequently.
Flight: Her wings are not just for show, and she is capable of flying, but she struggles being able to carry more than herself.
Illusionist: Aiushtha is able to generate all types of illusions in a localized area, up to and including hiding her demonic features, though it costs energy to do so.
Stimulation: When part of a party, Aiushtha can buff her allies with a lash of her whip, increasing their physical damage and speed for a short time - this comes at the cost of draining some of their vitality for herself.
Personality
As demons come, Aiushtha is of a far more understandable nature. She feeds on lust, and acts similarly seductive. Not only lust in the sense of the physical, but also the chasing of desires such as money, power, food, or hedonistic indulgences.
All told, Aiushtha is self-centered and self-indulgent, amoral, but not actively a malicious creature. If anything negative happens to others, it’s by accident, a result of not thinking ahead, or a result of someone she lends her abilities to abusing them in some manner.
She’s caused many hearts to stray, with men (and some women) losing themselves in her gaze. Anyone with the willpower required to resist her gaze is automatically a person she’s interested in, since she loves a challenge. Like many succubi, her interests tend to be fickle.
As far as being a succubus goes, Aiushtha had one major flaw in her younger years: she had a nasty habit of getting attached to such strong-willed men. This, as much as anything else, has been the source of many heartaches as men died while she couldn’t age.
When one man flaunted her affections and threw her to the wolves to defend his own skin, her antipathy towards mortals grew, becoming far less caring toward others.

Biography & Lore
Born from feelings of lust and desire, Aiushtha is strengthened when people pursue such things. Her formation was punctuated by one proclamation to those caught in her maze of desire: “One of you will experience pleasure like nothing you’ve ever known”. These weaker demons turned on each other in a frenzy. Days later, Aiushtha approached the last one standing, kissing him and filling him with unparalleled pleasure before snapping his neck, all while others looked at the body, seething in envy.
Aiushtha, born with gemlike rare and magical eyes, took pride in how these gems shattered countless fragile wills. She referred to these captives as her “pets” and they took pleasure in the title. By the end of two millennia since her formation, Alrea was the most lusted after demon in the Abyss, with millions head-over-heels for her. Despite her dominance, Aiushtha grew to become bored of Armageddon - her fickle interests led her to pursue the affections of humans.
When she first went among mortals, Aiushtha marveled at human creativity. Mortal designs were uniquely ingenious, nothing like the extremely crude designs of demons. Aiushtha thoroughly enjoyed the exquisite garments and lavish lifestyle - all of it footed by her pets, of course.
It was around a century ago that her fickleness with men took a shift, and she began staying with men who desired her for life. She’d seen many such men shrivel and die while she never aged past her physical prime. These men would never find their souls claimed until they had taken their last breath of life that time allowed them.
She wandered alone, during a century-long war in the region, before coming to find the son of a Count who had become a figure of intrigue to her. For once, it seemed that her gaze - one so powerful that all who looked into her eyes would fall for her - had no effect on this noble’s son. It had been the first man in centuries who was resistant to her charming gaze.
As the two spent time, the young noble professed his love to Aiushtha - that he was already in love with her from the beginning. He pleaded with her to help him ascend to his father’s position, with the promises of a life of luxury and a gift from him every day they were together.
Believing his promises, Aiushtha swept aside all resistance to the son, including his father. Upon taking his father’s place as Count - with great reluctance by the King - the son kept his promise, and with each day that they lived together, Aiushtha had a new opulent dress. This was short-lived. The king was hesitant to appoint the Count’s son due to concerns about the son’s knowledge of politics, extreme ambition, as well as general maturity.
This concern was well-founded, as the new Count squandered things for Aiushtha, but primarily for himself. His father’s death was already believed to be foul play. After twenty years of mismanagement, the Count decided to deflect all his wrongdoing onto Aiushtha and revealed what she was.
As Aiushtha was awaiting the guillotine, the list of charges was brought up: conspiracy, entrancing the current Count into murder, conspiracy to embezzle funds, murder by proxy, leading to the deaths of hundreds by starvation. All while the Count sat, a grin on his face, as if he was untouchable.
For a long time, she regarded him, unable to truly bring herself to harm the Count. When demanded to speak in her defense, her words were simple: “I entranced nobody - his actions were of his own will”.
Enraged, the Count demanded that the execution commence. With the realization that the only human she truly loved had betrayed her, Aiushtha’s anger peaked, her eyes turned red. The hearts of all were captured, and they proceeded to tear the Count and his guard apart.
The county subsequently fell into chaos as countless people began tearing each other apart for Aiushtha’s approval. At this time the legend of the “Countess of Ruin” began. In spite of taking revenge, an emptiness entered Aiushtha’s heart. There came a realization to her - a mortal man should never be trusted to keep an eternal vow.
Vowing to never love again, the Countess of Ruin ruled the county for many decades, lavishing the attention of her pets. Only once a war had ended did she abandon the county, leaving it without a ruler. In the century that followed, the memory of the Countess of Ruin faded, but the legend remains alive.
Since those days, Aiushtha became a hedonistic tempter of humans, using them up before abandoning them, for centuries.
