descripcion : Themesong: Desert by Secret Vibes (Track 7) [link]

Surucucu (Flametongue for "Sweeping Shadow") was exalted as a No Moon caste by Luna almost 500 years ago in a southwestern jungle. Her spirit form is that of a massive pit viper native to the region. She felt a great affinity for the Underworld which she was able to access through a local shadowland, and in time became a very skilled necromancer.

It was through her behind the scenes influence that the three gods of Greatforks had time to weave the great story that protected them from the Princess Magnificent with Lips of Coral and Robes of Black Feathers. For this she was cursed with an Essence Inversion, causing her to waste away when she spends long periods out of the Underworld, where cat's paws of her ancient enemies relentlessly hunt her. She has let long periods of time flow by in hibernation to slow her decline.

The bearer of her Solar mate's exaltation, Lavina Valeria, stumbled upon one of her hiding places, and Surucucu has once again been consumed by the supernatural bond threatening to subjugate her heart to her returning mate. She has in turn turned her considerable social aptitudes to seducing the young Solar while offering to be her mentor in the dark arts. She has disturbing memories from another life where she was murdered by her counterpart and is determined not to let it happen again!

When the moon waxes full in the sky or she is spiritually weakened, depression and lethargy sap her will as she sees the inextricable dissolution of the world she loves being consumed by the facinating Underworld and the Abyss at its core. Here her moonsilver tattoos are visible, which keep her form under her own control, even when she travels through the reality warping lands of the Wyld. They are symbolic of the story she has selected for herself, so the Wyld won't pick a different story and mutate her to suit it. They also identify her as a member of the Silver Pact. She is a shapeshifter that can transform into the form of any animal, person, or ghost who she has ritualistically hunted and drank the heart's blood of. The snake she holds is a young representative of her spirit or favored animal form, Creation's giant 5 meter jungle dwelling bushmaster.

Excellent work, Paulo!!!!

The coloring turned out wonderful. The snake looks just right, and I think that I can see elements of that color in the skin of Sweeping Shadow, linking her to the serpent subliminally.

I think it is unique that you chose to emphasize the tattoos along one side of her body, which makes a lot of sense given her serpent spirit form. Snakes have half of certain things to fit into such a narrow body, including just one working lung!

I highly recommend PauloBarrios for commission work!!!

Mmm, I wonder what those markings symbolise and/or do for her.

An excerpt from the description to be posted soon: "her moonsilver tattoos are visible, which keep her form under her own control, even when she travels through the reality warping lands of the Wyld. They are symbolic of the story she has selected for herself, so the Wyld won't pick a different story and mutate her to suit it. They also identify her as a member of the Silver Pact."

They flare and become visible whenever she exerts her will.

The symbol on her forehead is the caste mark that announces her to be a "No Moon" lunar exalted, the priests and sorcerers of the god/goddess Luna.

Ahhh, impressive range of effects then.

Yes, though it is not without cost. She can only use her inherent lunar powers to shapeshift. The physical transformational possibilities of sorcery or necromancy are of no use on her now, for better or worse.

Huh... well that doesn't seem like much of an impedement.

In that game system a celestial exalt could normally transform their entire body into solid, living bronze to resist damage. They could encourage earth elementals to sing the song of stone and capture that power within their very bones. They could cause their hands to be replaced with giant wooden dragon claws that could change shape and characteristics with but a thought. With "Incomparable Body Arsenal" they could even turn into a mechanized monstrosity with half a dozen ways to kill their foes at range.

She can't. Of course, she can instead cause scales to grow over her body and harden into bones, agument her strength with her own essence and grow moonsilver claws. She also has a "war form" that blends the most deadly elements of serpent and human. She just has to be more creative and the individual abilities.

One last element of the tattoos are that they force her into a single caste. If she had not been tattooed, her powers and aptitudes would change with the cycles of the moon, becoming at different times of the month warrior, trickster and sorceress.

Huh... well allright then, it still seems though that she's pretty potent all the same.
