[/hider] Full Name: Vasuki Nicknames: Rattly Age: 33 Gender: Male Gift: Vasuki has the ability to mix and match the physical characteristics of any snake species and incorporate them into his body, basically being a shapeshifter with a heavy emphasis on snakes. He can grow fangs, scales, and contort or elongate his body to rediculous degrees. He gains all the unique and powerful senses any snake would possess, such as heightened hearing, smelling and tasting simultaneously with his tongue, his sixth sense tempreture sensor, and an impressive tactile information system, not counting all the weaponry and survival tools he can extract from the snake gene pool at any given moment. His snake forms grant him an inhuman amount of strength, allowing him to crush bones with ease. It is thanks to his ability to morph and adapt that has given him an edge above the rest when it comes to surviving the harsh and brutal wastes. Vasuki can go days without eating and still retain energy thanks to his high metabolism and long term water and energy storage thanks to his python genes. Snakes also possess a very strong immune system, making them resistant to most forms of bacteria, diseases and poisons. Vasuki rarely gets sick because of this, though resistance is not total immunity and he still risks dangerous bacterial infections from open and untended wounds. In addition, he also has a complete immunity to even the deadliest of snake venoms. Loyalty: Himself, Wanderer Description: Vasuki has short, dirty blonde hair and somewhat pale skin which makes him blend eerily well with the deserts that mar the wastelands. He wears robes and full body clothing best acclimated to whatever weather he expected to be in. His build is lean yet muscular with scars dotted across his body, evidence of personal struggles to wrestle and hunt beasts. The greatest concentration of scars line his arms, though the majority of which comes from snake bites from attempting to handle such aggressive predators. His default eye color is a bright yellow, which matches nicely with his hair, though thanks to his gene manipulation, he can turn them any color he desires. Regardless of what forms his eyes take, he always at least somewhat resemble snake eyes, thus Vasuki often wears sunglass or goggles to blend in. In human form he is 6'6, though when fully transformed into snake form he can reach up to 20ft in length. Personality: Vasuki is very greedy and avaricious, coveting money, knowledge and power and being very stingy and reluctant to share anything he can get his hands on. That being said, he is not overtly malicious and while prideful, is not above listening to reason and learning from his mistakes. He is slow to trust and very self-centered, though he has a strong since of debt to any who show kindness and respect to him. He is very intelligent and a bit of a social recluse, and while he does loathe to admit it, he is very protective and loving of his friends, even if he has a very weird and somewhat clingy way of showing it. Skills: Vasuki is very intelligent and learned to read from an early age. He learned to survey the lay of the land to the point where he can start making maps and is a very experienced survivalist. He has become adept at starting fires, cooking meals, hunting, tracking, and finding water due to his expanded senses and strong sense of self-reliance as opposed to trusting others with his survival. His knowledge of snakes is vast and he often uses this information to his advantage when bio-morphing his body to match the situation. He has a lot of knowledge concerning poisons, especially snake venoms. He is trained in using various firearms, usually using hunting rifles for bringing down his food, though admittedly he isn't the best shot. Vasuki is most comfortable using and most proficient at being a quickdraw with his trusty heavy revolvers. He is yet to find a gunslinger quicker than him on the draw thanks to his lightning-fast reflexes. When in close combat, he uses a bowie knife often coated in his own venom. Most bullets he loads into the chambers of his guns he also coats in deadly venom so that even if he doesn't hit his mark, his target is still going down. Vasuki is very perceptive when it comes to identifying counterfeit money or false replicas. He is very good at hiding his presence, camaflouging seamlessly into his environment and his slithering makes very little noise, allowing him to sneak up on most targets without being detected. Weaknesses: While Vasuki is skilled at hunting wild animals, he has very little combat experience fighting people, preferring to negotiate or weasel his way out of conflicts if possible. He is very adept at surviving hot and arid regions, but due to being cold-blooded is much more suspitible to freezing and frostbite in cold weather. While he is very fast and strong, he is very reliant on the element of surprise and catching his opponents off-guard to inflict any lasting damage. His scales mainly protect his body from environmental hazards and serve as insulation and locomotion, and provide little protection from force and pressure, thus lacking in defensive options. While he knows how to use guns, he is not very accurate with them and relies on close range weaponry, putting him at a severe disadvantage against longer ranged opponents. Stealth is a tremendous assest to Vasuki. Robing him of this asset greatly limits his options. While resistant, he is not immune to biological weaponry. His greed and pride can get the better of him Brief History: Not much is known about Vasuki, save that he is a merchant and a very dedicated cartographer whose maps are highly treasured by caravaners and other wanderers. Vasuki's craft usually earns him just enough merit and respect for others to overlook his more greedy and eccentric nature. Other: Vasuki has an adorable pet Ball Python named Arcamedis. Vasuki is bisexual, with a stronger leaning towards women. [/hider] [/quote] Why is your CS spaced out so frikin weird?
