Chiara

*"What do you mean a vacation? Absolutely not!"*

*"Uh-huh, and I get to pick the place. Remember, the deal was you give me ANYTHING I want, short of control over you or freedom for that soul. You don't want it getting out that you couldn't keep a deal with your own lieutenant, do you?"*

*"Grrr, fine. You can have a week off."*

*"A month."*

*"Two weeks!"*

*"Three."*

*"Don't push it, or you'll be paying for that vacation when you get back."*

*\*sighs\* "Fine, two weeks, but I can't be called back early for anything short of a full-scale coup-de-tas."*

## Devil on the Run:

"Chiara," as she calls herself in human form, is in fact a millenia-old succubus, with quite the reputation in hell for bringing in the hard-sell souls. Thing is, she hated her job. Alas, there didn't seem to be any alternative, and if you're gonna be in hell, you might as well be appreciated. However, when she discovered the existence of the imprisoned Domain of Kullinzios, Chiara hatched a plot. Even a lord of hell would find his power diminished and himself trapped if he ventured into the mystic prison. However, unlike *other* similar prisons, this one was large, with people and space to explore . . . perfect retirement community for Chiara! So, she arranged a deal to secure a much-coveted soul for her master in exchange for a single request, which she used for a vacation, from which she had no intention of returning! After that, it was a simple matter of riding a warp wave into the region and setting herself up with a decent mortal guise.

### Major Flaw/Flaws:

**Hunted:** Though it may take some time for him to find out where she went, Chiara's old master is bound to want her back. He won't come himself, but is likely to send agents after her.

**Moral Bankruptcy:** While not particularly evil, now that she isn't contractually obligated to be . . . Chiara simply has no idea *how* to be good. With the right incentive, she might be interested in learning, though.

**Vulnerability: Cold Iron:** Chiara is weakened by cold (unforged) iron. A wound from an iron weapon requires magic to heal, and she cannot break out of iron bars or chains on her own, even with tools.

### Minor Flaw/Flaws:

Clueless: While she's "played" a mortal many times before, Chiara has always had "bit parts" and overlooks a lot of basic things about being a normal person.

Bindable: A skilled sorcerer or powerful fiend/celestial could bind her to their service with the right ritual.

## Personality

Chiara is largely discovering who she is, now that she has won her freedom. So far, she likes adventure and risk, and spicy food. She's largely uninterested in sex, viewing herself as on permanent vacation and having done everything under the sun anyway, but old habits die hard and she can often be very flirtatious without quite realizing it.

### Beliefs

One can't work in the legions of hell without a very firm grasp of the divine powers and their whims. Given her previous occupation and current status as a fugitive, Chiara does her best to "lay low" on the divine playing field.

### Quirks

Flirty

Adventurous

Likes spicy food

### Relationships

**Regneir:** Her first contact after reaching Kullinzios, Chiara has entered his employ as the local cook and a junior adventurer in the guild.

**Bakro:** Accompanied Bakro to slay a demon spider and retrieve her head.

### RP Notes & Plot Hooks

**Sex(RP Note):** Chiara is still 100% succubus, and cannot *turn off* her nature. Anyone who has sex with her, consensual or not, must roll Willpower vs her Sorcery. Success by more than 5 resists her power and negates any penalties/addictions currently suffered in that regard. Success by 5 through a tie, they remain free-willed, but suffer a cumulative -1 penalty to this roll in the future. Failure by 1-5 they become addicted to her, and will pursue another encounter at virtually any cost to themselves or others, they also suffer the cumulative -1 penalty. Failure by more than 5, Chiara siphons their soul, making them her willing thrall/slave. Rolls are no longer required from sex, but freedom can only be won through a 3rd party (she can't even willingly release the soul without one of the following:). Either someone needs to complete a fair contract in exchange for the soul, which they can keep (Sorcery DC 10 ritual) or return to the thrall/captive at the time of exchange, OR a potent magical ritual can be performed to strip Chiara of all souls she currently holds (requires her true name, demon blood, dragon head, and a human heart, DC 15 Sorcery). ALL RITUAL COMPONENTS ARE CONSUMED ON ATTEMPTED CASTING, FAILURE BLASTS THE CASTER WITH A MAGICAL PULSE THAT RENDERS HIM/HER UNCONSCIOUS FOR 1 HOUR, CAN ROLL EVERY MINUTE CONSTITUTION VS DC 10 TO WAKE EARLY.

**Chiara's Aura(RP Note):** Another ability she can't turn off is her aura. I won't enforce this in rp except if someone wants to interact directly with her through dice-based contested social rp. Chiara's aura makes her seem alluring to nearby beings with sexual desires (regardless of orientation). The effect is easy to resist and does not cause compulsory behavior, though it may make one more apt to indulge in compulsions they already possess. When involved in social rolls against Chiara, characters must make a DC 10 will roll or suffer a -2 penalty to opposed social rolls vs Chiara for the remainder of the scene. This applies to intimidate, persuasion, sense motive, and willpower rolls.

**True Name(Hook):** If someone can learn her true name, Chiara can be bound to their service through sorcery. The ritual requires her presence (99.99% chance she's an unwilling participant), 100 gold dust, a human heart, 666 golden lotus, 666 frost lotus, 666 demon blood, 100 mystic dust, and the head of a demon/demonic creature, as well as her true name written in infernal. Opposed roll of her Willpower vs the caster's Sorcery, which must also be 10 or higher to complete the ritual correctly. Afterwards, her servitude can only be broken by the permanent death of her master, or the same ritual being performed to free her. While bound, Chiara will willingly serve her master, obeying all orders short of executing herself (though she will undertake seemingly suicidal tasks when ordered). ALL RITUAL COMPONENTS ARE CONSUMED ON ATTEMPTED CASTING, FAILURE BLASTS THE CASTER WITH A MAGICAL PULSE THAT RENDERS HIM/HER UNCONSCIOUS FOR 1 HOUR, CAN ROLL EVERY MINUTE CONSTITUTION VS DC 10 TO WAKE EARLY.

**Hunted(Hook):** Chiara is actively hunted by her former master. He may send "agents" looking to retrieve her, or offer gifts to those with contact to the lower planes for her capture and banishment back to hell. Agents may find that their own tether to their master is weakened or severed by the barrier around Kullinzios, and may opt to remain instead of fulfilling their task . . . or maybe they like working for a lord of hell, and drag her kicking and screaming back.
