REPUTATION
Naeemah was a genius biologist, specializing herself in ophiology. She dedicated her entire life studying these fantastic animals, their predatory habits, their venoms and toxins... While not extremely well known, mostly due to her young age, some of the most experienced biologists know her name very well and admire her due to her intellect.
HEIGHT
1,80m (before mutation. After the mutation her height can vary depending on how high she stands on her tail.
WEIGHT
Around 180Kg
APPEARANCE
Her Egyptian lineage is very evident, thanks to her slightly tanned skin, a beautiful black, straight hair. Her beautiful face very often make others think about the old Egyptian queens, due to the delicate traces and exquisite beauty. The clothes and the jewelry she wears further contribute to this "old Egypt" appearance.
Her body although limber and flexible (much more than a normal human, thanks to the mutation) hide powerful muscles, especially on the hips, abdomen and her tail. Due to the serum, her lower half has completely mutated into a snake tail, she has a pair of long, venomous fangs which are hidden inside her mouth, which become very noticeable if she opens it too wide (akin to a snake's fangs and how they fold themselves).
POSITIVE TRAITS
- Patient and calculist: Naeemah can be very patient and calculist when she wants to be. This trait was particularly effective in her training, given the creature she has chosen.
- Intelligence and Logic: Naeemah's ability to assess a situation, analyze it, quickly and calmly come to a solution to it is very evident.
- Alert: Naeemah has a very good situational awareness, which was further developed thanks to her training.
- Possessive and Territorial: Naeemah is very possessive and territorial, especially regarding her room, her things and her lover.
- Deceitful and Scheming: She can and will sometimes try to manipulate others to get what she wants.
- Vengeful: Naeemah can hold a grudge for a very long time, and will only rest when she have her vengeance.
- Skin shedding: Naeemah is very sensitive about who sees her when she is changing her skin. If someone sees her in that state, she will get very irritated.
- Personal Space: Naeemah is very particular about her personal space, but she tends to not respect others' that much.
- Not Exactly a Hero: Naeemah is not a hero per se. She has not the incorruptible sense of ethics that some others has. Instead, she literally does whatever she feels like. The only thing that holds her on the justice side is her loved one.
Snakes
POWERS
- Ophidian Physiology: Flexible jaw, snake lower body (capable climbing on some surfaces as long as there is some type of crevice or imperfections, but she can only run as fast as a human can), cold blooded, scales, Jacobson's organs (Enhanced sense of smell by using her forked tongue).
- Ophidic Weapons: Extremely venomous bite (the toxin contains both neurotoxins and blood coagulants) and constriction (by coiling around her prey, Naeemah can constrict it to break its bones, stop it from breathing and even kill it.)
- Ambush Predator: Naeemah is not a predator which chases her prey, as her speed is the same as a regular human, but an ambush predator. Silently moving through vegetation, shadows, rubble or anywhere she can hide, she will patiently wait for her prey before strike it.
- Pit Organs: Three small holes on each side of her nose, going from near her eyes to the base of her nose. These small dots are protected by a membrane and are basically the same pit organs found on snakes. Behind this membrane, there is an air-filled chamber that provides air contact on either side of the membrane. The pit membrane is highly vascular and heavily innervated with numerous heat-sensitive receptors, literally making her able to sense infrared thermal radiation.
- Ectothermic: Cold is Naeemah's worst enemy. It can affect her body in a variety of ways ranging from either make her slow and lethargic on most brand situations, make her hibernate on most serious situations or even literally freeze her blood on most extreme situations.
- Skin Shedding: Naeemah needs to change her skin once every two days. Normally, it would be painless and only once per month, but due to the skin cancer she needs to do it once every two days, and its a very painful process.
- Eyesight: Naeemah cannot see colors, instead only seeing in black and white.
- Sense of Taste: Due to her physiology, Naeemah doesn't have a sense of taste.
- Thin Blood.
- Painful Skin Shedding.
- Unstable Scales Pigmentation.
The cancer affected Naeemah mostly on her skin and blood. Skin shedding, is very painful and tiring to her due to the pain it causes. Due to the cancer, her blood is rather thin, making it very difficult to staunch a wound (she needs to take a medication every single morning in order to allow her blood to clot normally, otherwise if she cuts herself, she will bleed until the wound is sealed. One more effect from the skin cancer is her scales' pigmentation. Every single time she changes her skin, the patterns on her scales change (due to the painful process).
Her cancer is currently at stage IB: The 5-year survival rate is around 92%. The 10-year survival is around 86%.
FEARS
- Losing Todd: She knows that it will happen someday, but she tends to not think about it. She becomes extremely aggressive when someone hurts him.
- Cold: Due to her cold blooded nature, she is extremely afraid of dying from it.
- Her future: She still has some hopes that the Maximation will find a cure, a solution for their flawed serums, but the thought that their future together is doomed still haunts her mind.
Just be together with the one who she loves. Its all she wants.
HISTORY
Naeemah was born in a wealthy and recognized family, said to have the same blood that ran through the veins of the queens and pharaohs of the old Egypt. As such, it is not a surprise that it was a very rigid family. Being the only daughter amongst two brothers, Naeemah was raised with the best that the money could buy. The best tutors, the best schools, the best clothes... If it was any other kid, it would probably have turned into a spoiled brat, but Naeemah always was a peculiar child. Her sharp tongue and quick wit ensured that she always got what she wanted. People who knew her often said that she had an infamously venomous tongue.
After she graduated herself, She choose to be a biologist, specializing herself in ophiology. Nobody knew why, but she always loved snakes. Loved to study them, their toxins, their predatory habits, their physiology... She believed that some of the natural capabilities that they had could be used to enhance the human body.
After using this theory to write her thesis, she graduated herself with perfect grades. Her text and theories reached the ears and eyes of important scientists very fast. After that, her importance and fame as a researcher only grew even faster.
That was until she discovered the project HYBRID. As an ophiologist, it was only natural for her to want to enter in the project. But once inside, she lost everything.
The serum was incomplete, faulty. Together with the mutations, it also gave her cancer. Upon knowing that, her world fell apart. She had just lost everything. Depressed and filled with hate, Naeemah could only think in vengeance, she wanted the ones who injected her with that serum to suffer the same thing she was suffering.
People usually say that when you reach rock bottom, you can only look up, and if you look up you will see light. That was what happened with Naeemah. The name of this light was Todd Buchanan. His sense of humour, his joviality helped her to overcome the depression. She saw in him someone who could support her, someone who was going through the exact same thing, but she also saw that under the jokes, under all the apparent joviality, he was not happy. Todd took her out of depression, and now, Naeemah thought that it was her responsibility to help him be happy. Even if their opinions were different, Todd believing in justice and Naeemah believing in revenge, the feelings between them grew stronger with each day that passed. The love that they had for each other was the only thing that kept both of them afloat. Even with her days counted, Naeemah choose to dedicate the rest of her days to be with her true love.
