Succubi are a very specific race of demons from that specific plane. I really dislike people playing them, but you can't be -turned- into them. They are their own separate species. I know they are pretty popular to be half-succubus in order to have a sexy personality (can people not be seductive or sexy on their own?) and it's just weak, weak, weak, weak writing. Imbuing your character with a nigh-unplayable character concept because you can't write a decently sexy character is hilariously bad.

My question to you is why your character is pointedly always an obedient captive/slave? Honestly all of this sounds very much like ERP and honestly if that's your bag, that's cool, but I don't know why that has to necessarily be dotted Ts and crossed Is or whatever.

She isn't always, but once defeated she obeys since obedience gives more freedom; at least in the case she's used to it; and further freedom gives a bigger chance to be able to flee.

For example, a war prisoner who constantly attempts to run or kill the ones who captured her, would most probably be chained up, severely reducing his chances of ever getting away or surviving. A prisoner who behaves however, may be given more freedom, perhaps even be able to walk around and do lesser chores in the enemy camp, and therefor highly increasing his chances of escape and even might have useful information to give to his own leader once managing to run away from the enemy.

To be honest, yes, there was some ERP involved, I don't mind even if it's not the point of my roleplay.

If, for the character, the point of obedience is to be able to eventually flee, I would say that since your character has now fled (gotten out of the situation), she might well not return to the place where she could end up so outclassed.

Agreed. It doesn't sound like, from your description, she's the type to take being bested as a challenge; so going back to prove she's dominant or 'tops' doesn't really seem like something the character you've described might do.

That being said, if you really enjoyed the interaction, there's no harm in oocly talking to the player involved and figuring out a way to throw them back together.

I play with a lot of people that bend lore or do things outside the framework that Blizz has provided. They are excellent writers, have reasons that satisfy my desire for plausibility, and I can immerse myself into the RP and have a blast. If you had fun, and the writing was good... it doesn't really matter if it's lorebreaking. The whole point of pretendy funtimes is to have a good time. :)

edited to add: All the horde races except for tauren look the same in ghost wolf form, as I recall. So pick whichever you find most aesthetically and storywise pleasing. (On the rare occasion I go red, it's a cow for me, but alot of people find them

Late to the...er, party, but there actually is a lore example of a night elf being transformed into a succubus by the Burning Legion. So this character could be possible, though a very rare case.
