earlier , you posted the power structure of the succubi and used their "ranks" to group them : queen>general>bareon ect
does this mean those ranks aren't just hiarchy and influance? are they evolutions of the succuby? what are the conditions for getting stronger? or are they in those positions because they got more powrfull. and it was a natural outcome because no one would oppose them? and if so, is there a chance that there are rouge succubi even more dangerous than the barons, generals and possibely the queen that simply don't care for that influence? or factions that were pushed out by the queen to solidefy her influence over the mother planet?
Oh, my. This is a lot lol
Let me see...
-If you side with the God of Gifts in the last update you will see a succubus taking form. That succubus has like a top model's body. Small boobs and ass, very long legs, small horns. Since she is a royal succubus, she also has wings, but no other succubus is born with them.
-Succubus gain weight and grow taller as they drain life. While you can have a skinny succubus that is more powerful that a fully developed succubus (body wise), that rarely the case, if they belong to the same clan. It will be true for a new born royal succubus compared to a fully developed leaf.
There is also the question of relics. A succubus can become very powerful by being rewarded/finding a powerful relic (like Gloriosa did)
While the power-gain will occur naturally by the passage of time (they become more powerful the more time they stay in that physical form, and all is reset if they are physically destroyed), they can accelerate that by consuming life, until they hit the limit (each succubus has one, they can't evolve forever).
The average height of the succubi are as follows (they start with the one in the left and can reach the one in the right)
Lesser Clans: from 180cm to 210cm
Medium Clans: from 190cm to 220cm
Royal Clan: from 200cm to 230
-Hierarchy is not only about power, is also about connections, influence, powerful relics, prestige, succubi serving her, etc. The Queen herself cannot rule alone. When she rose to power, she brought Desdemona, Calena and Methys with her, after they helped her in her ascension to power.
-Yes, rogue succubi could be as powerful as a duchess. Take the succubi being summoned by Kaalim in Warlock Saga. They are top tier, winged succubi, that find themselves "too powerful" to be contained in the hierarchy. Some of these ostracized succubi will seek refuge with a witch/warlock. In the case of Nemorosa, she defeated the Duchess Rafflesia lover and took her relic for herself, which infuriated the duchess. So she sought refuge with Kaalim and the Veil.
-Yes, there are many factions not associated with the Hierarchy of the Scorching Hell. Like succubi who rule like living goddesses in forgotten isolated worlds. The biggest faction disconnected to the hierarchy is the Lunar Clan. Basically monk succubi.
