ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH

Enter the Dragon!

In a desert somewhere, one minute before the T level emergency distress signal.

"Well now." Joseph said as he tossed a stone into the distance. His boots stood over lairs of sand. In the corner of his eye, he could see a lizard race to the safety of a cactus. "This trip has become rather boring." He commented to himself allowed, as he looked around the scenary. Just then he was interupted by the distress signal; "ISSUE DISASTER LEVEL TIGER TO ALL THREE CITIES!". He would sigh, the threat level wasn't too high, there were definitely other heroes in that hero that could take care of it. "Well anyhow, I should just travel to one of the cities, see how well its doing by the time I get there, maybe I can pick up a ride somewhere." Joseph paused, looking at his surroundings, he was already lost. "So I guess I have to fly huh?" He sighed, taking the sword and scabbard off of his back and to the ground, then began to undo his armor, taking it off piece by piece. Once he was left in his under clothes and t-shirt, he began to take them off as well. "Right, well, lets get going then.." He said as he was now standing butt-naked in the middle of the desert.

He would wince preemptively. Not at being exposed to the elements, but for the pain that was about to come. He would get into a stance, standing somewhat hunched with his arms flexed and curved slightly towards his chest, hands curled into fists and legs spread apart. It loosely resembled something a Dragon Ball Z character would power up to. His eyes would roll back as he began to scream, his body rapidly began to transform. Skin turning into white and black scales, black spikes growing along various sections of his body. A tail would grow from the bottom of his torso.

In moments he was onto the ground now, breaking his stance as he screamed out in pain, hands that were slowly transforming into reptilian claws clutched the sandy earth beneath him. Joseph would let out another screech of pain as his face began to elongate, and his body began to grow. His body hunched upwards as he continued to morph horribly into another monstrosity.

The behemoth lizard now stood where Joseph once was. Its crimson, glowing eyes staring at the sword and armor he had left behind in the sand. He would widen his maw and dipped to swallow them hole for safe keeping. He then looked back to the sun with narrowed eyes, determining where the general direction of the cities were, at least one of them he knew was east from here.

While the dragon was originally wingless, a pair of flames began to form on a section of the black plated scales on his back. These growing fires morphed themselves into a massive pair of wings, and seemingly solidified. These wings would flap once, before a jet of flames launched the behemoth into the air at an instant mach 1 speed acceleration, 50 meters up in the air. The sudden burst speed was practically a blur, surprising for its size. However after passing 50 meters the speed lowered to half of mach 1 speed. Joseph now leveled himself in the air, now 55 meters and traveling east. His crimson eyes staring at the horizon, trying to find the city.

Inside his throat, where his gear was, an alarm blared "Oi Dragon Knight! Threat level D for all three, City T and S have plenty of heroes we could use you as backup in city K!" Now things were getting interesting. A demon threat would be much more fun then a simple tiger level threat. He was able to hear the alarm going off inside him, however he was unable to respond in his current form.
Regardless, he had his eyes set on city K, which coincidentally, was already within his sight.

Now Arriving at City K

@Phobos@JustYui@Polaris North@LostDestiny

Joseph would let out a terrifying roar as he flew into the city, echoing through the streets below at the battle about to ensue. It was difficult to minimize city destruction in this form, but seeing as it was a demon level threat, it is likely necessary to be in this state anyhow.

Joseph landed with an earth-shaking thud directly beside the monster Gastro's left, letting out another roar that was typical for his form. During the monstrous scream Joseph's wings would disperse in a small explosion of fire around him, in attempt to knock the monster back if not fry him some.

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH

Hmm, having trouble concocting a starting post. Anyone need a giant lizard on the team?

Joseph the Dragon Knight

The Dragon Knight

Appearance

Both his base form and dragon form, side by side comparison

Currently at the age of 23, Joseph stands at 6'01 and weighs 220 lbs. He has a very muscular build, with a light beige skin tone. His hair is a mess of pure white spikes and bangs. His face is a bit chiseled with slightly angular cheeks and nose, but is otherwise soft and youthful. His eyes are a unnatural crimson, a testament to his draconic blood. These eyes passively give off an almost aura-like glow, as if they were dim candle flames.

While casual wear may involve a simple white t shirt and shorts, he most often adorns his armor. This armor is made from the shedded scales of his dragon form, molded with iron and studded with leather. On his back is a scabbard for his sword.

Joseph Drake
23
Male
S Rank #5

Personality

As if someone mixed the stereotypes of the hotheaded hero with the brooding edgelord anti-hero, Joseph's pride sticks out along with his hot-headed tendencies and condescending tone. Even stranger though, is that he seems to calm down in combat. While outside of a fight he is quick to overestimate himself, insult others, and overall being very brash. In combat however, he becomes an almost entirely different person. He becomes quiet, focused, and less 'confident'. Though his pride will still show, he is less likely to underestimate his opponents at this point. He may even become much more of a tactical fighter should his starting, straight aggression fail to provide any suitable edge over a battle. What doesn't change though, is his stubbornness. It is difficult for him to accept defeat, even bearing major injuries or being completely overpowered, he has a will to win, or at the very least, keep fighting for as long as he can. Nothing annoys him more then an opponent he can't beat, and in those scenarios that stubborn demeanor morphs into spiteful actions.
He does have a bit of honor though, he enjoys the concept of 'fair' fights, enjoying the thrill of battle and its challenges. He can find respect in those that he can consider to have equal or greater strength, so long as they not dwarf him in such power.

While he can be quiet rude, even at times pushing people away or preferring to be alone, it isn't impossible for him to develop bonds with others, especially bonds forged in battle.

Brief History

Joseph was born of the drake family, a noble lineage who's ancestors were one of the few to survive drinking the blood of a dragon. A dragon's blood is toxic and slightly corrosive, but those that survive digesting its contents, which is about a 21% chance, become infused with the nature of a dragon. Those that have gained the blood of dragons are sometimes called 'Gorgons', and their offspring produce more of these half-mortal aberrations. While his most gorgons only have minor abilities, Joseph was born with a great deal of power that would be revealed when his mansion was attacked by a monster when he was 17. Before then, he had lived a quiet and wealthy life with his family. That incident however, triggered him to discover the true nature of his bloodline, defeating the monster after sustaining some injuries and having his house entirely destroyed. His parents survived, but his baby brother was crushed by the time the battle was over.

Joseph, in mourning, joined the heroes. Doing so to harness his potential, follow the path of his ancestors, and both avenge and honor his deceased sibling.

Power Details

Human Passives and Abilities

Like others of his family his lifespan is significantly extend, approximately thrice that of a typical mortal.
He has an extremely heat resistance, unaffected by temperatures exceeding molten rock, the approximate limit to his human form's resistance is 50,000 F. This does not however make him immune to the explosive force and other damaging factors of heat based attacks, such as the explosion of a grenade.
He is far more durable then the average human, his skin has a durability more akin to refined leather. Though still vulnerable to blades and bullets, such attacks do about a 1/4th of the damage it would normally do to a human body.
Whats more is that his blood, being that of a dragon's, is toxic. It is very corrosive to most organic bodies like plants and skin, his own body being an exception, weak metals including iron and copper, and other materials vulnerable to such a moderate acid. A human finger would dissolve almost entirely if it had sustained contact with the blood for over an hour, as the blood does not corrode too quickly. But even a minute of exposure can cause intense pain.
His glowing eyes give him twice the reaction speed of a normal human's vision, as well as being able to see in utter darkness as if his eyes were a pair of lanterns. His sense of smell is more like a bloodhound as well. His cells regenerate, clot, and repair far faster then a typical human's, as well as more efficiently. Even a wound that would be fatal would clot in a matter of a minute or two, and he can grow a leg or arm that has been lost in a matter of weeks. However he cannot survive without vital organs.
Strength wise, he can lift up to two tons with ease, but anything more is a bit of a struggle. He can easily dent an iron wall however.
He can dash short distances as fast as 175 mph.
Lastly, he has minor fire manipulation, he is able to breathe a jet of flames hot enough to melt iron, throw fireballs with the same power as a frag grenade, and ignite his entire body on fire.

Transformation

His true power however, is his transformation. This allows him to become from a human into a dragon. This form is far stronger and more destructive then his human form, and is the reason why he is at S class. The transformation takes a single minute, however it is incredibly painful. Because of this, he only uses this transformations when it is needed, if he cannot possibly fight a foe in his human form. His transformed state is the reason for his S class status. Transforming causes his clothes/armor to rip, so he has to strip before transforming to prevent ruining his attire. When he transforms back, he is of course, naked. Additionally, once he transforms back he goes conscienceless for a few hours.

The transformed state is as appeared in the previous picture, a giant 75 foot long, 15 foot tall behemoth of a lizard-like creature with crimson reptilian eyes, white and black scales and scutes, great and powerful claws and teeth. In this form he weighs roughly 100 tons, due to size, heavy scales, and muscle density. The dragon form only lasts 6 hours and can only be used once a day. It should be noted that wounds and scars from the human form will transfer to the dragon form in proportion, and vice versa.

Dragon Form Passives and Abilities

Like his human state, he is highly resistant to extreme heat, though it is even at a higher level of resistance then his human form. In his dragon form, the black plated scales on the upper-side of his body are highly resilient and conventionally indestructible, it would take the extreme force of something on par with a direct meteor impact, nuclear bomb, etc to break through that armor with physical force alone. Direct attacks to those scales would be entirely absorbed and show known signs of breaking, even a punch with the force of a meteor would have no direct effect, however such forces can still push him back or launch him greatly (Assuming that the damage doesn't also hit on other parts of his body). The white scales on the rest of his body are as durable as iron. His teeth and jaws are strong enough to shatter platinum, and his saliva, while mostly harmless, can weaken supernatural based durability of foes temporarily on exposure, as well as slowing cellular regeneration to a hauling stop on exposure, in addition, preventing blood cells to clot. Vulnerabilities of biological and supernatural armors weaken to about iron-level of durability, if it is greater, though it takes about a minute for this durability decrease to take effect.
His massive claws can tear through steel, and can dig very quickly in hard earthen surfaces, utilizing burrowing strategies.
A swing of his tail could crack a mountain, and a full sprint headbutt can be as strong as a full-speed freight train collision.
He is slower in this form except in flight, only able to sprint on land at 50 miles an hour, though his stamina is significantly improved.
Bleeding wounds, even in severe injuries, clot in minutes just like his human form.
In terms of raw strength he can easily carry over a 100 tons.
Vision and scent are the same in his human form.
Fire manipulation is greatly improved. He can create flames heat hot enough to melt platinum, and can shoot explosive fireballs with an explosive force powerful enough to obliterate a skyscraper. A standard fire breath can stretch about half a kilometer in length, and 75 meters maximum in width though it spreads in a cone-like shape. He can also ignite his own body in flames.

The black spikes on his body are more akin to steel, and can be launched from his body as projectiles that can move as fast as a 9mm bullet, and can regrow in the same spot within a few seconds. A powerful stomp can create a 3 magnitude earthquake, but can be manipulated to minimal the radial distance of the quake to increase its destructive power.

While he doesn't have any initial wings in this form, he can 'grow' a pair of wings made of concentrated flames. Not only giving him flight but can allow him to fly at mach 1 speed, including short distance bursts or longer distance travel. The wings can also create a pressurized hot air blast around him or directly in front of him.

Goals

Fighting monsters and even some times, other heroes, is a fun activity for him to do. Overtime it has become his biggest motivation for being a hero, having watered down the original, emotional motivation of revenge. He does value the safety of the world from monsters, but that is a 'side' motivation. He doesn't have much goals at this point other then to keep fighting and being able to survive to fight again.

Equipment

His armor is about as durable as iron armor, but much more flexible.

His sword, though having a menacing design and a glowing effect, by itself isn't much greater then a steel sword. Being embedded with black scales it is practically indestructible by most physical means, and it can be used to set its blade on fire or launch flaming projectiles mixed with Joseph's own power.

Vulnerabilities

Cryogenic weapons and similar damage bases are especially effective, as they not only weaken his firepower but also drain his stamina and other minor ailments relating to freezing up, essentially can bypass armor if effective enough.

There exists a rare flowering plant that is grown in hostile parts of the world that is a natural 'dragon repellent' even humans with dragon's blood cannot stand its scent. Up close or swallowed it is as effective as a bear being sprayed with bear-spray.

In dragon form, the very underbelly of his body is softer then even the other white scales, making it the best target to hit.

Chris getting Transformation Constipation

As Chris laid there, his now red, crocodilian eyes stared towards the meatball rolling towards him, before it was blasted by the voice of another subnatural. "Da-mn...eet." He was now struggling to make words not only from the intense pain and pressure but it felt as though his vocal cords were being tangled. "I-I-I-I Tcholk Yo nod to lo-o" His eyes widened as he suddenly jerked his head up, being cut off from his own body's reaction as his tongue rapidly morphed, growing into an elongated, serpentine tongue with two separated tips, forked like a lizard, which was sticking out of his mouth and flicking in the air. His hands struggled to hold onto the ground.

His skin began to transmute into scales, in a crystalline process similar to water becoming ice. As it spread from the nape of his neck as its source. The green leathery scales that became of the skin continued to morph, widening and becoming plated like metal sheets. The scales continued to slowly spread up and down his body. Meanwhile the features of his waist began to contort. His two masculine gems, once hanging placid, now rapidly began to shrink and seemingly dissolve along what was still somewhat pale human skin. Chris would then scream out, his head tilting up further and his eyes strained and wide. A tail began to grow from the crevice of his lower torso, while what was once an anus began to close up and flatten along with the body, dissolving in a similar process. By the time both features were gone, the skin there were already growing into scales. His hair began to fall from his head, and his nose started to elongate. His head then lowered as he would vomit blood from his mouth onto the floor. Slowly forming a puddle on the floor.

Another scream was released from his mouth, jerking up a again as if his own human body was in desperate protest. His hands would clench the dirt so tight that they now made small holes. No longer able to keep his hands occupied he'd jerk back up on his hind legs as his tail continued to grow in a slithering motion beneath him. As the scales spread to his wrists his nails slowly converted into claws. His once human face now started to elongate, whatever hair was left was falling off like feathers.

Sci-fi Sandbox

I have interest if this picks up.

Another one

RP Idea Draft (Casual to advanced Large Group PVP/PVE adventure, more detail on the way.)

So I'm fabricating an rp that will essentially be a pvp/pve adventure Where each of the characters will be pitted against each other in the modern world by some deity. As a gm instead of playing a character I will be a sort of rule guide and such in addition to controlling npc's and keeping the story moving. I will begin to illustrate some races though if you have some sort of race you'd like to play that isn't listed, or something of your own creation, let me know and I'll see if I can make it work and balance it. If this gets enough interest checks I'll update a character sheet as well, along side more information and detail.

Races

Vampires

Supernatural creatures of the night, vampires are the descendants of a clad of blood sucking demons that once terrorized the world long ago. Vampires are undead creatures that usually were once human unless if they were born as a vampire, with supernatural abilities and weaknesses. They are usually pale and resemble a human, with some exceptions. Some may have more ghastly forms then others.

Vampires on average can lift well over two tonnes, and can sprint thrice as fast as a cheetah. Most vampires can hover or fly. They are also able to regenerate extremely well, so long as their heart remains intact they can recover from any injury, even regenerating a whole body should the heart not be destroyed. The heart is the source of their 'life' force (Though they aren't considered alive.), if it is destroyed, they will die. Their hearts can be separated from their bodies, but once it leaves contact of their current body will become immobile until the heart grows a new, identical body. They can regenerate at a rapid rate, an arm could be regrown in under a minute, and there are very few limitations, though they cannot regenerate while under sunlight or exposure to other weaknesses.

Vampires do not need oxygen to live, and their bodies are more like corpses making most taxes of living unnecessary. However vampires do require blood as sustenance. While they can go for years without blood and possibly indefinitely if they remain dormant, the longer a vampire is without blood, the more difficult it is for them to control their hunger. A week is usually the breaking point.

Vampires are immortal, only being able to die if their heart is destroyed, and do not age. Exceptions are those that are born vampires, in which they will simply stop aging at a certain youthful maturity point.

The fangs of a vampire both inject their 'venom' and siphon blood. Those infected will usually turn into a vampire themselves. The venom only affects mortals, however, few supernatural creatures are compatible to be turned into vampires.

Additionally, vampires have a great sense of hearing, vision, and smell.


Vulnerabilities:

• Sunlight is the most notorious vampire repellent. Exposure to sunlight or UV light burns and melts every single part of their body away, even bone and internal organs. It is difficult, but not impossible, for a vampire to survive being destroyed by sunlight, so long as they can protect their hearts.
• Their bodies become immobile in running water, or rather, liquids moving at a relatively strong pace. A typical stream or river connected to a waterfall is definitely enough to immobile them
• Holy water is the equivalent of sulfuric acid, and other holy objects can burn vampires severely such as crosses.
• Garlic is an irritant, smelling it alone to a vampire would be similar to a bear getting sprayed with bear-spray. Tasting it can cause something similar to an allergic reaction. Though it is never by itself fatal, the worst is that it forces a vampire to be dormant.
• Vitality and energy is regained by drinking blood, and to a lesser extant, going dormant can slowly recharge a vampire as well. While vampires do not need to sleep, it does help both their sanity and overall health.
• Vampire can only enter protected areas or through holy wards such as a blessed seal or a church if they are invited in. However, they do not need to be 'invited' to infiltrate houses and such, contrary to popular belief.
• They are somewhat susceptible to fire, though not their greatest weaknesses unlike other natural damage sources extreme heat such as flames can damage them well enough and harm their regeneration.

Their are various sub-classes of vampires with unique abilities and traits. below are the following:

Anima's

Anima's are vampires that can shape shift into various animals. They can only shape shift into creature's that they have siphoned blood from, and while they have most of the traits of that animal, they still retain their vulnerabilities. They can also be forced out of their transformation and into their true humanoid forms if a powerful holy energy compels them too. Anima's can also transform into other supernatural creatures if they have successfully consumed their blood. However the blood of some creatures, like that of a dragon's, can be highly toxic/dangerous to consume even for a vampire.

Experienced Anima's can also only make partial transformations or morph into various amalgamations of what transformations they have access too. (For example, a lion with the wings of a bat and octopus-like tentacles, or a half-man half beast esq form.)

Liches

Liches are vampires that have necromanic abilities. Liches may resemble more ghastly abominations then traditional vampires, though this isn't true for all Liches. Liches can reanimate dead corpses into zombies/skeletons as mindless servants. The stronger and more experienced a Lich is, the more undead slaves it can create and control at a time. Mortals bitten by a lich will become a Ghoul instead of a vampire. Ghouls are similar to a zombie, but are sapient and are far more coordinated. While zombies are more limp and slow, Ghouls have the strength and speed to be a close match to a vampire, and require little to survive. So long as their brain is intact, Ghouls are 'immortal.' However they are susceptible to the will of the Lich that created them. If the Lich that made them dies, they are freed of the curse, though if they have existed for over a century as a ghoul they will become independent. Liches may also contact spirits and other supernatural spirits. Liches also have the power to decay any organic matter they touch, if they will it.

Incubus

Incubus vampires (or succubus) are vampires that have extremely great charisma. Becoming an Incubus vampires will overall become more attractive in general. Incubus can subdue any mortal to their will if they stare into their eyes, putting them in a hypnosis like affect. Though it is limited, they can only hypnosis a certain number of people at a time. Other supernatural creatures are usually more resistant to this effect. Also the victim must be able to find the hypnotist attractive slightly enough for it too work, be it physical or emotional.

Warlocks

Not to be confused with witches, These rarest of vampire's, these subclasses have access to dark magic. Some may also possess some sort of elemental magic such as fire or wind.

Witches

Witches are an immortal, all female race of spellcasters that can only breed through other races, usually humans or something similar like a vampire. Witches are powerful spellcasters with an affinity to dark magic and potentials to learn varieties of other magic. They may also have psychic abilities such as telekinesis or being able to scry through a crystal ball. Witches may also have magic items that they can create, such as a flying broomstick or magical sword. Those that rely more on items or charms are called enchantresses.

Witches may also have a familiar, a spirit that they can make a contract with. Familiars become their servants until death, in exchange for whatever terms the familiar wishes. It can range from a mere human to a demon or other sapient entity.

Witches are powerless against water; mere contact with water (that isn't too diluted with other substances) can cause them to melt and dissolve away, even a small splash could liquefy a witch in a matter of a few minutes. Liquids such as saliva and salt water, for example, fortunately do not harm them.

Silver can also weaken their magic power if near or at contact.

Witches can regenerate like a vampire (If dry), but at a much slower pace. They cannot be killed unless their brain is destroyed.
Witches do not need to consume sustenance, and acids that would normally be harmful have no effect on them. Pathogens and other biological threats also poss little threat to a witch, as a witch is more magical then she is biological.

Once Chris exited the shower, he got dressed into his PJ's and immediately went to his bed, continuing to ignore his roommates. Despite still being in the afternoon, he tried to sleep off his worries. Later that evening, near sundown he got up from his bed and walked back to the bathroom. He was able to sleep, surprisingly, or nap rather, but despite that rest he was still plagued with unresolved demons in his head. He needed another hot shower. Once again he stripped from his clothes, which was only a pair of pajama bottoms as he was shirtless in bed, and stepped in turning on the shower faucet to the hottest it could go. The burning sensation of the hot water helped distract his mind and eventually soothed him once he adapted to the temperature. After an unusually long shower of cleaning and moping, the moment Chris turned off the shower the alarm buzzed and blasted in the bathroom. Startled, He jumped through the curtains, tripping and falling on his ass. "Nani The hell?!" He shouted though his confusion ended when the voice in the alarm instructed him and presumably the other subnaturals of the emergency. Apparently some dangerous targets were spotted. "Standby?" He muttered as he picked up a towel and wrapped it around his waist. Looking over to the sink he realized he forget to bring his clothes with him in the bathroom. "Shit." He muttered as he crept to the door, creeping it open to make sure the others wouldn't look his way. As silent as he could be, he began to walk towards his desk, the white towel draped around him from the waist to the knees. Halfway there though, the alarmed buzzed again startling Chris off his feet once more, his towel no longer wrapped around his waist as he once again fell on his ass. His eye twitched as he gave off a wide-eyed embarrassed and disgusted expression before quickly leaning over to pick up his bag and running back to the bathroom. Inside, He quickly began to get changed. In the rush of the moment, he forget to put on boxers, only wearing black sweatpants and a white t shirt with a pocket protector.

With the director's command on their mission and their groups, he sighed. His roommates, which he already figured he wouldn't be fond with, would be just a few of the partners in their assigned group. "They better have a good reason for keeping me paired with so many people." He muttered to himself with a distasteful frustration. At least she vaguely addressed his 'special preparations' anyhow. Not that he was looking to transform either way. He exited the dorm following the guards and got onto the transportation without much trouble.

Chris exited the transportation with his posture straight and arms folded across his white shirt. His silent scowled drifted into the distance where he instantly caught sight of bright lights that were the field commander. His attention was brought to someone who was thanking them for showing up, the man introduced himself as Eric Richardson. Chris was still silent, and a tad spiteful, keeping his arms crossed. He then watched a black haired girl named Myla begin to 'mark' them, to which he found out were literal light markers over the heads of the ensuing monstrosities.

He paid attention only to the green target, his target. What was first disbelief shifted into an annoyed expression. "Are you serious?" He said under his breathe, "Were supposed to fight a giant italian cuisine?" There was no time to question its absurdity, meatballs growing legs and teeth were already charging towards the group. Eric didn't need to announce preparations, Chris already began by taking off his shirt, he'd also start to move behind his group. Not only to avoid bringing attention to himself but to help keep him away from the monsters as the process of transforming leaves him vulnerable. "Don't know if you lot were told this but my transformation is a painful and long process." He said to his group as he folded his shirt and placed it on the ground. He didn't like speaking, especially to many who he could already assume would likely be idiots not very enticing to be around. Besides, it was dangerous to his sanity to make friends, only to loose them from some monster be it today or the next mission in the future. Teamwork, however, was necessary, now wasn't the time to push people away. "I also have to strip, I'd be grateful if you avoided looking at my direction, the transformation takes five minutes, until then I'll be vulnerable." He paused, not wanting to admit to needing assistance, especially to many of which he already could tell he wouldn't like to be around, but for the sake of the mission he continued. "I'd appreciate it if I was protected in some way until then." He looked down, hesitant to pull down his pants, waiting a minute or two in hopes they wouldn't look before sliding down his trousers. He was a bit embarrassed that he forget to wear his boxers but that was meaningless at this point. He folded his black sweatpants and placed it on top of his shirt before standing some paced away from his clothes, then got onto the ground.

He practically collapsed and his eyes shifted from his default, bored and scowl-like expression into a wide-eyed shock of pain. The corners of his eyes seemed to strain. The transformation was activated, there was no looking back at this point. His fingers curled and clenched the grass-covered earth beneath him as his teeth were grit tightly. His head and torso lowered with his backside facing the air as he tried to resist the urge to scream, which caused him to instead groan in pain. Sweat began to drip down his forehead, cheeks, and chest as he felt like vomiting. He let out a few dry gags before forcing his mouth shut again. His eyes closed as the pain intensified. He felt all matter of negative sensation at once. His skin felt like it was being peeled and stretched off like a potato, insides churning and burning up in a burning chemical, the back of his head having nails slowly forced into his skull. His body could barely keep up with the pressure, if he wasn't gripping the ground so tightly as his arms would become frantic and shake about violently from all the shock. After the first minute, his fingernails started to grow and sharpen, his teeth growing a pair of canines, and several lines of skin transforming into green, keeled scales along his arms, legs, and lower torso in a strange pattern. His eyes snapped open with another shocking wave of pain, finally letting out a shrill cry as his eyes were no longer mammalian. They were now yellow outlined with red near the eyelids, pupil now slit like a crocodiles and a crimson red oval-shaped iris around it.
