Description
Yep. First new character, for Kelacao. Christ I hate his scales, but I love his nails. XD

Primary Information

Name / Nicks : Inteus

  Species / Race : Naga

  Gender / Sex : Male/Male

  Age / Date of Birth : 27 / 8th-03

  Height / Length :Human form: 1.72 metres / Naga form: 4 metres.

  Weight / Build : Human form: 68 kg / Naga form: 500 kgs.

  Skin Tone : Tan.

  Eye Color : Orange-yellow

  Hair Color and Style : Long, black, and hangin' loose.

Physical Traits : Completely black (almost) snake body. Loves gold, and wearing it in particular, as well as the colour green. Has long nails, that he uses magic to tint gold with.

  Psychological Traits : Prideful, especially when it comes to his abilities. Likes talking and practicing his magic, but is easily offended by even the gentlest criticism. He's fairly friendly to new people, though most would call him a pretty shallow friend, maybe due to his aforementioned tendency to blabber making him seem superficial. He does judge people by their looks, and isn't likely to surround himself with - as he himself puts it - ugly things. As I wrote above, he also loves gold as well as pretty things, and wearing nice stuff. Jade and emeralds are another favourite of his. Pretty lazy.

  Abilities / Specialized Skills :
Human form.
This one is pretty self-explanatory. He can turn into a human and back into a naga once every day, but doesn't do it often as it's very draining and hurts like shit.

Earth magic/plant whispering
He can use his magic talent to manipulate plants, earth and sand to some degree. He can most easily manipulate plants, and that's what he most often uses if he has to defend himself. After plants comes sand, then earth.

Venom
Inteus has venom, of course. It destroys tissue as well as disrupts blood flow and prevents blood clotting. He doesn't carry antivenom, and is unable to create it as he is neither and alchemist nor a chemist. He is immune to his own venom.

  Weaknesses / Fears :
Slow Movement
Nagas aren't known for being the fastest land creatures ever. This guy isn't breaking the land speed record soon, either, as his movement speed is on average like a human's walking speed.

Weakness to Cold
Cold weather makes him slow and sluggish, and cold-based attacks hurt him pretty damn badly.

He's scared of heights.

Massively frightened of deep water, too. If he can't see the seafloor, he's a giant wuss. Doesn't help that he can't swim well.

The further away he is, the more draining manipulating something through magic becomes.

He can not manipulate altered states of sand, plants or earth (i.e. glass, lava or... Wicker baskets.)

If the thing he's trying to manipulate is out of sight, he's more likely to make his brain dribble out of his ears.

Trying to transform from one form to another more than once per day is suicide. It'll literally turn him inside out.

  Outfit : Just the green loincloth you see.


  Miscellaneous :
Likes - LOVES, actually - romance novels. Especially bodice-rippers.

    Background History :

Inteus was born on the plains of his homeworld to a mother, who was a warrior and who often left home to work. Most often as a caravan guard. A risky job, where she would be far away for lon periods of time, but the pay made it worthwhile. She brought home pretty good wages, so his father did not have to do much except take care of Inteus and keep house. He did a good job in Inteus' youth but as time passed, the relationship between his mother and father became strained. The father would drink a lot, and often spend money, often leaving the young teen without something to eat. The young naga was able to find some work helping out on a farm, using his magic to help when he could. He used the money he earned to buy himself and his father food. The money Inteus had left over from that, he put aside in a safe place, hoping his father would not suspect anything. One day, his mother didn't come home, and she didn't send money anymore. Inteus still doesn't know what happened to her, but he assumes that his mother was killed on the job. Her employers most likely didn't care enough to send the word back to her family.

With even more economic strain on the house, a now 14 year old Inteus decided to leave his current job and visit the local water temple. The nagas worshipped two gods: Salamander and Ondine, which represented fire and water; the universal balance. As such, people who could control fire and water were revered and often worked as priests, soothsayers and the like. People with other elemental powers could at best become servants or temple dancers, as the two other elements were seen as 'impure' mixes of the two primary elements. Inteus, having heard the temple might be looking for new apprentices, decided to try his luck and apply as temple dancer. He could only dance a little, but he was talented, and the priests and the lead dancers decided to let him in and teach him. He spent most of his days in the temple at that time. Slept there most of the time, too, when he was too exhausted from practicing to go home. But whenever he could, he would stay with his father, even though it was far from pleasant. His father's condition only deteriorated. The drinking got worse, and as time passed, Inteus started to suspect that there was more than only alcohol in what his father drank. He never found any proof of it, though. It was a long and arduous thing to train as a dancer, but Inteus made enough money to keep himself and his father fed, and still sometimes put a bit of money aside. The young naga wasn't sure what he was saving up for yet, but he did know that it might involve moving away - from his father and from his home town completely - at some point. At age 18 he finished training as a temple dancer and quickly became rather popular; having grown into an elegant young man with very controlled and fluid movement, his dancing was a delight to see and while he didn't get top billing he did get a fairly good pay now... Most of which still went to try and support his father. One evening, after a particularly good day where the lead dancers had praised him for his dancing, he came home to find that his father had found the stash of money. Of course he had stolen all the money and spent them on booze. The man was now lying in a wasted heap on the floor, speaking utter rubbish, and Inteus flew into a rage. He shouted and screamed at a man who laughed back, then he finally left. He didn't have any money, but he was not sticking around anymore, and there were ways to make money!

He still had his job, after all, and he made a decent amount of cash... So he returned to the temple, and his job, and worked harder than ever. Still, he wanted more. A better life; higher up the social ladder. There were a few ways to get to that, but most of them were not for Inteus.

He decided to try his luck and travel to a bigger city; he had talent and willpower! He could definitely make it big there! Travelling alone, though, was dangerous, and he knew he couldn't defend himself well. It was either set out alone, or wait for weeks and even months for a caravan to leave. Inteus only waited one week before deciding to set out on his own, not giving a care in the world for any warnings. For a while it went well. He had some provisions to eat and the weather was fair, but nothing lasts forever. He got lost, and ended up wandering the plains with not a building in sight. It was only himself, the animals, and the grass, and soon enough he was starving and thirsty. For what seemed like forever, he wandered on, certain that this was how he would die, until one day when he came across something strange.

It was a book. A big book, bound in bright red leather. It was lying on the ground, seemingly untouched by weather or animals, in pristing condition. Of course he couldn't help but pick it up and open it. Reading a few lines wouldn't hurt either...

He didn't even have time to do that, though, as the book suddenly warped and a great white light emitted from the pages. Inteus opened his mouth and screamed, wanted to let the book fall to the ground, but his hands were as glued to the cover. The great light enveloped him, and he was unconscious. When he woke up, he was in kelacao, on a road, and someone had seemed to take pity on him, because there was a loaf of bread by his side. Without even thinking it might be poisoned, Inteus gobbled down part of the bread and got up. What was he supposed to do now, he wondered as he looked around in the new world. Now, he was well and truly lost.
