Name: Zael Glast
Race: Were-Alligator Human
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Birthday: 2nd of Crimsia, 279 DM
Birthplace: Green Fall
Resides in: A large hut on the outskirts of Green Fall.
Occupation: Herb Supplier
Host Appearance: A human of small build, standing around five feet tall, with thin shoulders and effeminate features. With thin eyebrows, pale white skin, long dark green hair in a single braid that falls to his knees, and soft voice he comes out very androgynous to the average passerby. He has a piercing in each ear that has a tiny silver ball-and-chain earring to match his soft grey eyes.
Animal/Hybrid Appearance: An alligator of twelve feet in length, glossy dark green hide, and small gray eyes. When in hybrid form, the mesh between human and beast combine to be mostly humanoid in shape. His skin becomes rough and dark green, shoulders widen and legs become thicker, nails darken to black and eyes become slitted taking grey sclera with black pupil. He gains massive four foot tail and his jaw widens with a slight elongation with many teeth.
Personality: Zael is often deceptively kind or compassionate finding that it often puts people off guard and accepting, choosing to speak and act this way because it benefits him more. Despite being cunning, he does not enjoy lying, and it more often honest or choosing to speak in half-truths. His real feelings are often more somber or isolated which he hides, yet despite these feelings he chooses to be social and interactive with many a person.
As to his profession he loves the wilderness, nature in all things, and finds creatures of the world magnificent and wondrous. Naturally this fascination manifested his occupation of going out into the forest or wild to collect herbs, gather food, or inspect new flora. Often this can spark an obessive tendency within him to seek further knowledge or wander deeper, one of the few things to bring him out of his buried emotions.
History: Zael was born into a peasant family of farmers in Green Fall. He wasn't alone at his birth as he was born with a twin sister. To the parent's surprise both of them were were-creatures, him an alligator and his sister a snake. This abnormality made the parents worried for the future, as they weren't sure how to handle or even raise a child, let alone two, with unique needs. After all, they were only human. Yet it turned out that they could handle it, as a peasant's fortitude and persistence is never to be underestimated.
Yet at a delicate age of three, where both were bordering adulthood as were's develop quite fast, the two siblings were wandering the woods in their animal forms. It was natural to them to spend it together, as they were very close. The first warning was when the quiet set in. It was abnormal to the forest, but it didn't register until to late. An arrow from beyond their sight struck the sister down, and before she could transform to show who she was a second came just as quick. All happening in a few seconds, and all in front of Zael's eyes. The siblings were known roughly around town, so wariness of their animal forms has spread, but today a travelling pack of hunters had been passing through. Before she succumbed to her wounds she took her host form just as he did so to reach her body. With her last words she pronounced her familial love and wished him to not mourn her or seek revenge.
The incident settled with the hunter's helping bury the sister, and attending the funeral in atonement for it was all a tragic accident. It struck Zael hard, as if he lost half of himself, but respecting her words he didn't seek revenge, but he couldn't follow it all. He fell into depression, becoming morose and lethargic. Spending days on end merely lying still and wasting away. Several years passed by, yet his feelings still stayed dark. Never would he let them leave him, for fear it would mean letting go of his sister. Still, his job and help his old parents living he ventured out into the forest to try and forage for things of use becoming rather skilled at it, as he and his sister often did in the past. Out there that day he spotted a marvelous baby black and blue snake. While normally respecting nature's law he would've left it alone, but overcome with memories of his sister he picked it up and took it home.
This baby snake soon encompassed his world, for it was such a small thing yet gave him light. He cared for it tenderly, did everything he could to raise it, and devoted a part of himself to it. Almost is a literal sense, as a strange magic began working between him and the snake. Over time as the snake grew it became stronger and stronger, then after a couple years grew into a spark that trasncended them both. It felt as if their souls were intertwining, and after it was over he realized what it was, and could feel the instinct of magic within him. They had become master and familiar.
It was a turning point in his life. The feelings of sadness and loneliness still dwelled within him, but now he had a path to follow with a light to guide him. His interest in his occupation grew, and slowly he began travelling further and further, to even other cities to sell and collect herbs all with his companion at his side. Now feeling as if he was finally whole, his life began anew.
