[hider=My OC] [b]Name:[/b] Drake Ventmaw [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Year[/b]: 2 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Species[/b]: Gorgon Naga [hider=Naga] [i]Life Span[/i]: Indefinite, they are not effected by aging past maturity. [i]Male example[/i]: [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/87/a4/e5/87a4e5deaa105074ccfdf152bf137eb8.jpg[/img] Lizard like, ranging in sizes between 6-12 feet tall, with some rarer individuals reaching 15 feet in height. Crocodilian eyes that range in color between yellow, white, black, blue, and red, the pupil is always black unless the eye is black in which case the pupil is white. [i]Female example[/i]: [img]https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRwDnQYOkyrn6Rkg0QBe0PlgTW4FYcZTBVviFTOkzmt5kL5Tafs[/img] Lack legs, and are snake like. Much more frail in comparison to males. Size ranges between 5-7 feet not including the tail. Their methods of locomotion and general morphology resembles that of a snake. Females may posses hair like fuzz and other minor features that resemble more of a human appearance. [i]Appearance Ranges[/i]: Both males and females vary in scale colors between red, green, brown, black, blue, and albino/white, patterns like stripes and spots may also be present. Individuals may have a variety of frills, sails, spikes/barbs, and horns. Rare occasions may have wings. The scales are plated, keeled, and have a consistency and durability of iron, with the exception of the belly scutes, which are much softer (though still somewhat hard) in comparison. [i]Cultural and biological Notes[/i]: Nagas form matriarchal tribes, with most of the hierarchy being females, with exceptions such as generals and other military authorities which are usually given to males. Their weapons and armors are crafted with the same stones as they use to make their temples and other buildings, though augmented by magic to have exceeding structural integrity and durability, as well as resistances to many elements. Males often make the bulk of their military, and are considered savage monstrosities. the average male Naga can lift over five tons with ease, with some records of nagas being able to lift up to 10 tons. Nagas are said to be closely related to dragons, and their affinity to fire seems to back up such a claim. They have what seems to be an undefined heat resistance similar to dragons as they can march through molten rock without any sort of burn. Additionally Nagas can breathe and manipulate flames to some degree by natural means however their power of fire is only produced directly from their own body, meaning that there are restricted to self immolations, fire breathing, or chucking fireballs. Nagas are excellent swimmers and often prefer hot and wet environments, and there culture and style reflects a hybridization of native south american empires like the Aztecs and Mayans, and south eastern tribal communities such as those native in Vietnam or Taiwan. Nagas shed their skin in a similar matter to snakes and lizards every 2 months. Nagas have an incredibly fast regeneration rate compared to most organisms, as they can regenerate a loss limb or tail within 3 months, and less major wounds heal even faster. While Nagas have an indefinite life span, they are still technically mortals and can die by most of the usual means for a natural living creature. Nagas have a venomous bite (Some may also have venom within claws or stingers), the venom drains its victims of both magical energy, natural endurance, and slowly makes the victim grow fatigue. The venom also prevents any sort of magical or natural regeneration while it is in effect, this also prevents blood from clotting which can make even semi-serious wounds fatal within a few hours. The venom however, can be fought off by strong immune systems, a healthy mortal could beat off the venom within a day and the bleeding can still be stopped by bandages and other such equipment, as for fatigue it only goes as far as dragging the victim into an conscienceless state, which by itself isn't fatal per say, and the victim will usually wake up after the venom wears off. They are excellent swimmers, climbers, and sprinters, along with having much higher endurance then the average human. On land the average male naga can sprint over 30 mph, while females have been recorded 20 mph, however females are faster then males in water and in climbing. They have a diet mainly of fruit and meat, however they also tend to eat fish and shellfish. Nagas have been able to shape shift ever since they used to live among humans, though such a time ended thousands of years ago. Nagas can shift into a human form (that have a unique appearance), however rare exceptions have more draconic forms to transform into as well with the same method of ability as their human transformation. These rare exceptions are refered to as gorgons, and often have unique powers in addition to their unique draconic form, however there original form is still a naga. [i]Weaknesses[/i]: They are cold blooded, and cannot survive in weather below room temperature, this also makes them vulnerable to ice magic and similar combat abilities. While most of their scales are hard and difficult to penetrate or damage, their belly is their weak spot, which is why their armor is most present over the underside. [/hider] [b]Physical Description[/b]: [hider= Human Form] [img]https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--w8qQ-qNv--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/785470431370440362.jpg[/img] Somewhat muscular but mostly thin, a contrast to his original form. This form is mostly for show to allow him to blend in more with others as this is his weakest form. Green eyes, 5'11 in height, dusty brown hair, and barely tan skin. He often wears simple clothing of black pants and a white shirt, or sports his human nordic styled armor. [/hider] [hider=Original/true form] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/37/49/b8/3749b8ffd9472ae1ed066866c6a830b3.jpg[/img] 10 foot tall lizard-like monster with blue rigid scales and a long and muscular tail. A single row of barbs runs down from the back of his neck to the tip of his barbed tail. His strength lifting limit is six tons. [/hider] [hider=Gorgon form] [img] http://www.xboxonegaming.nl/wp-content/uploads/arena_monster_by_damiensaelak-d5cfs54.jpg[/img] 50 feet tall, 93 feet long, scales double in durability and he grows several rows of sharp rock-like scutes along his back, arms, and tail, and sports several horns. Scale color changes from blue to orange, with eyes and a throat like a forge. In this form Drake's physical attributes from toughness, to strength and speed increase drastically in proportion to his size, his powers over the earth and fire increase dramatically as well. Unlike his human form he has trouble keeping this form up longer then a few hours, usually exhausting himself and passing out afterwards. In this form he tends to become more berserk and aggressive, which in turn can make him loose control over his own actions. [/hider] [b]Personality[/b]: A savage or monster is what most people think of Drake, and they are right in some sense. He tends to be quiet savage and a lust for battle and raw strength definitely fits such a persona, however he has a more down to earth perspective with nature and can be quiet peaceful when he isn't in the mood to burn people or chop heads. So long as he doesn't use his gorgon form he is in good control over his blood lust and rage. [b]Hobbies[/b]: Sparring, peaceful nature walks/obsering nature, eating, telling stories and fables, burning things, running, climbing, or maneuvering through physical obstacles, bathing in lava, and reading. [b]Familiar[/b]: N/A [b]Extra[/b]: His armor, as seen in his photo, resembles a mixture of aztec, stone-make style, with prehistoric additions like a triceratops skull. The armor is mostly present on the chest as the rest of his scales are just as hard as the armor, making protection in those naked areas useless. His Gorgon aspect gifts him with the ability of earth manipulation, namely in the aspects of creating small tremors or making small simple structures from rock and soil, or shattering earthen objects the size of boulders. This ability comes much more powerful in his draconic form. He wields a massive axe that appears to be made of a solid black metal, which unlikely comes from his tribe as nagas rarely use metals in their equipment. The axe weighs 2 and a half tons and even in his original form the blade is almost the size of the naga himself, the pole even longer. He does however have a shield that is more of his tribes make, brick-like stone in the fashion of rectangle, which is 1/3 of his size in his original form. [/hider]
