I've got an idea for a (chest-deep +1 skill point) backup character... white court with a twist- not sure male or female (may not matter, but for now, I'll refer to him/her as female to avoid confusion)...
Powers:Human Guise [-0]
Inhuman Strength
F [-2]
Inhuman Speed
F [-2]
Inhuman Recovery
FC [-2]
C-The Catch: True Love [+1]
F-Feeding Dependency
Emotional Vampire [-1]
Incite Emotion [-1]
At Range [-1]
Mimic Form
F* [-2]
* here's the twist- she's a bit of a prodigy- I'm saying that being able to take the form of other people is a rare, but not unheard of gift among the WCVs... sort of an echo of having a stronger demon... people call WCV's succubi, she really is one.
Going slightly off the RAW for this power too- but not in a bad way, I think. Instead of needing some sort of dNA source (hair, fingernails, etc) to form a link, the succubus can shift into anyone they've fed on- as long as they've still got a consequence from it (as long as the succubus still has a link to them & their life-force, ie, still has a bit of them digesting). Feeding to the point of an extreme consequence or kill means she'd be able to shift into that person pretty well the rest of their life, but that's not any more broken than getting ahold of a lock of hair and holding onto it forever. If anything, it seems to fit even better. Since becoming a WCV means at least one kill- I'll have at least one form of the opposite gender that I can go to as a given, that I've had since I became a full WCV... hence character gender maybe not being much of an issue.

Big hang-up is aspects. I've got a few I like... and I've got an idea about a few others but can't come up with any phrasing that satisfies me...
The setting is New Orleans, during an alternate timeline that diverges at dead beat
with someone from the black council going back in time and killing harry during the darkhallow. RCV war is going poorly for the council, who's having to seek outside help to just get by...
Succubus Prodigy (HC) - or similar
I know the White King's Secret (Trouble) -
I want her to know Papa Raith's secret about not being able to feed... which makes me a threat, but not an overt one, and am in a similar spot to Thomas early on- with the constantly being maneuvered into dangerous situations in the hopes I'll get myself killed- and am mostly cut off from the family. I resent it a lot, and it's led me to seek other allies.
The GM has us come up with 6 aspects, but the 6th can be left blank if we like for him to play with.
It takes one to know one... - she's an expert con, and can use this to catch on to others' deceptions, or give her a leg up when pulling one over on someone less skilled at deception.
The oldest profession is predator. - unlike thomas, she's accepted the fact that she's an apex predator (it has it's perks)... and has made a tentative peace with her demon (I'm toying with the idea that the reason she's a prodigy is that it's more of a merger than a partnership)... it doesn't push her, and she doesn't try to starve it (or if it's a merger, she simply is what she is, and is ok with it). Uses and compels should be pretty obvious here.
Haunted... - I definitely want this one, but want a better way to phrase it... she's LITERALLY haunted by the ghost of her first kill- I don't want it to be a purely antagonistic haunting- hell, I'd like it to be occasionally helpful (it wasn't love, but he was certainly enamoured with her), but more often problematic.
Those are the only ones I'm dead sure of... but others I've thought of:
I need something to refer to his/her appearance, since that is a pretty central WCV thing... though I could arguably fold that into the predator aspect, since she's a sexual predator (literally, not in a FBI-watchlist kind of way).
La Petite Morte isn't just a metaphor. - I like the phrase, but not sure it's a good aspect... not sure what it means, or how it would be used... in a way I haven't already covered.
Like the song says, everyone has a hungry heart - Again, I like the phrase, but not sure I don't already have this covered.
Why can't it ever be easy? - I like it, but don't love it. Fairly obvious how it would play.
Do it right, or get it over with. - She's a pragmatic perfectionist.
I'd like some input on the above- or even some new ideas... thanks in advance.
