*When I first came up for the premise for these character sheets Flutter Shy stood out because instead of becoming a Goddess she becomes a Succubus. Her "Special Mechanic" as explained by "Suppressed Desires" is that if she goes too long without a good dicking she'll transform into her 3.0 for and all of her actions will be dedicated towards sex until she's satisfied.
