[hider=Space Dragon] Name: Jackal Westari AKA: Wyrm Age: 137 Race: Gorgas [hider=The Gorgas Race] [hider=Reijar] Homeworld to the Gorgas, Reijar is filled with hyper-predatory reptiles and other monstrosities. It is a part of a single planet star system on the outskirts of humanities known exploration. With the world being primitive, extremely hot in many regions and possessing dangerous jungles, the world has only provided two exploits. Game for thrill-seekers to hunt, and those that wish to 'adopt' a primitive Gorgas. [/hider] Native to Reijar, Dragon-like is the best way to describe them, as they are six limbed and massive bipedal beasts. The average Gorgas height is about 12 feet with 18 feet at the rarest. Weight can vary between 950 to 2,180 lbs. Muscular bodies are clad with the biological armor of their reptilian kin, the keeled scales along their body have a physical durability and texture similar to steel, with exceptions to a softer underbelly of leathery and pale scales. They have six limbs, a pair of legs and two arms, however the back row of arms are modified as functional wings. Though all four hands have opposable digits, the wing-bearing arms are less flexible outside of flight. Gorgas also have a long and flexible tail that has a modified bit of keratin on the tip that acts similar to a spear. While there is no distinct dimorphism between genders, individuals can vary greatly. While height is an obvious factor, the Gorgas also have a wide variety of horns (or lack of), including shape, numeration, form, and overall diverse number of horns on a head. Some Gorgas may have more beak-shaped snouts where as others have saurian-like, or somewhere in between. Their scales are plated and keeled, and can vary between shades of green, black, red, orange, blue, and white. The eyes of a Gorgas resemble that of a Crocodiles, and are bio-luminescent, giving off a faint glow that may resemble a dim candle in the dark. Eye color can range from Yellow, Red, White, Blue, and Green. [hider=Notable Traits] Firebreathers: Like many reptiles of Reijar, the Gorgas have a unique biological evolution of heat-based organisms. Though cold-blooded their organic composure seems to have an indefinite heat resistance. Bone, flesh, and organs do not burn or disintegrate even at the most extreme of exposures to intense heat such as bathing in molten rock or plasma rays. And like some other reptilian species of their homeworld, they possess a breath weapon, in their case, being able to exhale a flammable gas that can be ignited with their modified forked tongues and lips if clicked at the right friction. This reaction can create a jet of intense flames up to 12 meters. In the wild this weapon is more so used to kill giant insects, keep themselves warm, clear forest debris, or temporarily blind would-be predators similar to a smokescreen, since most of the dangerous wildlife are also immune to the fire, it serves more as a smokescreen. Hunter: They have an excellent sense of smell with their forked tongue. They also have great vision, and can see well enough in the dark due to their glowing eyes. Flight: Their wings are not just for show as even the heaviest of Gorgas can pertain flight in gravity relative to that of earth's or lower. With strong arms they are able to fly for a good period of time. Physical Armor: Aside from their softer underbellies their steel-like scales are difficult to crack or break. Monstrous Strength: The average Gorgas is able to lift well over a ton of weight. They are able to bend and even break iron bars in half, and can get through steel with their claws eventually. Ancient: The Gorgas (as well as many other reptile species of Reijar) have an indefinite lifespan, their is no defined limit to growth nor does there cellular replication wear out. Biologically immortal, their longevity isn't fully achieved due to their primitive nature. Death from disease, war of other tribes, and the environment itself is common. Additionally, their longevity comes at a price. Not only do they reproduce at a low rate, but it takes a 100 years for a hatching to reach sexual maturity. [/hider] [hider=Notable Weaknesses] [hider=Cold-blooded] In most regions of Reijar temperatures below 85 F is an infathomable concept, The Gorgas can not tolerate low temperatures well due to their cold-blooded nature. They can be kept at room temperature, but in such conditions due to slower digestion they are forced to become rather lethargic and having lower stamina reserves. Temperatures below that, and they can easily die of hypothermia. [/hider] [hider=The Underbelly] While most of their scales are as strong as steel, their pale scales on the lower end of their body such as the chest are much softer and easier to penetrate with ballistic and/or melee weaponry. [/hider] [hider=Heat-Misconceptions] They are not entirely immune to plasma based weaponry, depending upon the scale of the weapon the mere explosive force can gore them. They can still drown in lava and dropping them into a star would still kill them instantly from the factors of no breathable oxygen, intense gravity, etc. While resistant to acids and bases, as they will not succumb to chemical burns, their scales do soften and break, and flesh and bone can be eroded with strong chemicals. [/hider] [hider=primitive race] The Gorgas are very rare to see outside of their planet, and with good reason. Aside from a few exceptions that leave the planet for the stars, the Gorgas race is at a technological point of the stone age. They have yet to develop any vehicle, and their only weapons are makeshift spears, bows, and other such equipment. Granted some have been able to hand craft metal weaponry, needless to say their technology is far to primitive to be practical compared to the rest of the galaxy. The Gorgas remain as primitive tribal communities in their planet. unable to make their own weapons, the Gorgas that due end up outside of their technological realm have difficulty using foreign technology. Alien armor does not fit their body at all, and their weapons can barely be used in their massive and clumsy claws. For those looking to hire a Gorgas, they more so expect to hire one for raw muscle then anything else, as that's all their conventionally good for. [/hider] [/hider] [/hider] Appearance: [img]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/phaeselis/images/d/d5/Half-dragon.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140716213555[/img] Though massive to others, Jackal is a runt of his litter, standing only at 9'5" he is well under the 12 foot average of his kin. Jackal weighs 850 pounds. His scales are a cobalt blue with a white belly, and eyes are a shining yellow. He has three horns, a small horn on the snout and two horns facing from the back of his skull. Faction: Marauder Role in Team?: Enforcer Bio: Jackal, being a runt, had a hard time competing with his kin of his tribe. For his century-long childhood he had dealt with bullies, monsters, and the occasional tribal warfare. He survived it all, though, despite the odds. Not finding any peace home, he took the opportunity to leave his planet when he stumbled upon a group of bounty hunters that had been stranded on the planet. Offering assistance in exchange for a ticket to the outside world, Jackal left his home world at the age of 115, and in trying to adapt to the unfamiliar alien worlds and distant stars he tried to make a name for himself as a mercenary. Mostly doing fairly easy jobs though (Who in the right mind would hire him for some dangerous mission if he couldn't hold a gun?), things hadn't gone as planned. Trying to fit in with the numerous amounts of unfamiliar creatures and their customs was another trial he has yet to fully overcome. He Joined the Mauraders in hopes of turning his lackluster career into something more, looking forward to the experience it will give him even if this isn't a permanent stay. Personality: Previously a warrior of his tribe, Jackal holds a title of honor and pride when it comes to certain things. He has a difficulty speaking, and thus stays quiet most of the time as he is embarrassed of his dialect. Speaking only when necessary, he has a difficulty catching onto jokes, sarcasm, and other quips. He also has a tendency to eat the flesh of other creatures or races, as it is a part of his culture (especially for a defeated foe) to honor the dead by eating the body. Of course, like others of his kin he has a sort of cravings for such sustenance, and has a sort of hobby to be able to have consumed the flesh from one of every sentient race he comes across. While a bit of an oddball, his morality is still held (albeit with strange customs) on an overall good conscience. He values the ideas of kinship and brethren closely, those he has the pleasure to work with are always considered brothers. Weapon(s) : A handcrafted iron sword, with a 7 foot blade and a 1 foot handle, with a leather grip. An iron encrusted shield that can attach to the wrist. Star-fighter?: N/A Family/Relationship?: N/A Other: When he does speak, it would sound something like an orc trying to speak a Russian Accent, if you can imagine that. [/hider]
