This is one of those things that could, in theory, work if it had someone decent at the wheel.
For it to work, there should be zero mention of what she really is ANYWHERE in her profile; mention that something seems 'off' somehow, but stop with the "*PSSST* SHE'S REALLY A SUCCUBUS!" hints. That just, honestly, takes away all of the mystery and any reason to really want to get to know her unless you're on the same level of impatient when it comes to RP.
The best demons in disguise are never known to BE demons. They wouldn't be plotting, in their native tongue, in public, in Stormwind, in a BAR. They'd be trying to pass themselves off as whatever they were disguised at to avoid detection and, at best exile, at worst execution.
The idea at its base level could work, but the execution for it is just not there.
Not going to even touch the "Not Legion Affiliated". You can't really tell the Legion "no" or "I quit" and have them not hunt you until the end of time.
FFS, the Draenei told them "Thanks for the offer, but we're really not interested." and they're STILL being chased. They've been chased from planet to planet to dimension to dimension because they said "No, thanks." I'm pretty sure a lone succubus who decided she somehow didn't want to go along with the whole Legion business would last about as long as it took her to get the word "no" out.
There is that Sal'salabim non-Legion dude in Shattrah in a bar that's...Allowed there for some reason however I think think the concept of loldemun is stupid anyways.
In Sal'salabim's case, I think that's more for game/quest mechanics than anything else. He's also a pretty blatant reference to Johnny Quest and Hadji's "Sim Sim Salabim!" thing. Just one of those things I sorta take with a grain of salt, like Adam Eternium et al, and that Redridge is a delightful reference to Rambo.
I agree that playing a secret demon is pretty dumb anyway. I mean if you're proclaiming that you're a demon, and like Miss Naz up there mentions, have severed ties to the Alliance and has her demonic side "running rampant" ... why the fuck are you standing in the middle of Stormwind with your thumb up your ass going "WALK UP RP WIFF THE RANDOM UNBOUND SUCCUBUS IS ENCOURAGED PLZ ... ANYONE? RP? I'M A FUCKING DEMON (and you're gonna have him assault me with a putter?)!"
Yeah, I always figured the reason he was 'safe' was due to Shattrah's continuing status as a sanctuary city coupled with the fact that the Legion has just kind of moved on and left Draenor to just die on its own.
