'''Daeva''', also known as '''Succubi''' are a type of vampire in the ''Vampire: The Eternal Struggle'' role playing game.
==Description==
The Clan of passionate and seductive Kindred, the Daeva represent everything that is physically desirable in mortal terms. Daeva Sires often look for childer who are charming, attractive and passionate, at least from their point of view. Nicknamed Succubi for their predatory charm and supernatural magnetism, the Daeva often toy with other's feelings to achieve whatever end they have in mind, mainly due to their unique Clan discipline, Majesty. The greatest downside of being a Daeva is the Clan Weakness, which coerces them to commit acts of deeply personal Vice whenever the chance arrive.
