I Became a Monster, But Why?!

The cramped enclosure Hyng was stuck in--whatever the hell it was--wasn't budging. He had been trying to push his way out for who knew how long, with no success. The lack of any feeling of limbs was worrying, though, to say the least; had the explosion been bad enough to kill his eyesight and force his limbs to be amputated? Something worse? He shuddered at the thought. If he could never see again... That would be... VERY unpleasant, to say the least.

After a minute or so of failed pushing with that he assumed to be his legs, Hyng gave up and decided to used his head... Or, more aptly, his face to push his way out. This worked a bit better, at least; the sealed cage seemed to be giving way a lot easier now, and for once he could actually BREATHE. Shoving his way out, Hyng glanced around himself and saw... Well, it was a pretty dark place, all things considered, and the rocky ceiling and walls were... Strange. He prooobably wasn't in the laboratory now.

It took a few moments for his eyes to adjust to the place, which was... Probably a cave, all things considered. As far as he could recall, there were no caves near the university...

"Am I dreaming or something?!" Hyng asked himself internally (though it was really more a scream than a question) before looking around. Other... Things seemed to be waking up, but for now... He had to get a good look at himself... Or something. The sensations of pressure on whatever the hell he had just been in, of the cool, damp wind in the area... It was far too realistic to be a dream. Luckily enough, there seemed to be a pool of water a few feet away. Or, well... It seemed to be a few feet away, what with his face being so close to the floor now. Dragging himself over like a worm would have, Hyng reared his head and looked down at the... Somewhat clear pool of water in front of him.

A blue snake stared back at him.

"..."

"You're kidding, right?"

He was... A snake.
Holy shit.
A snake. It HAD to be a snake.

"What the hell?!"

The gravity of the situation dropped onto Hyng as he moved away... Well, in an attempted slither rather than the awkward crawl he was doing before. A snake. This had to be some sort of prank, right? He had to be in a coma or something, right? Maybe someone funneled in hallucinogens or something? But wait, that would leave him unable to move or feel or percieve reality or even think straight... And he was CLEARLY doing all four. So then...

"This... This isn't a joke... Is it...?"

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

We'll start sooner rather than later, but I want to give people who haven't had a chance to draft a form up to do so first.
...
Also I've got a bit of work on my plate so it would've taken me a while anyhow. =w=;;

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

@Bruised Bananna: No need for numbers on the abilities. Fine otherwise.

Also, the meta jokes seems to be spreading. >3>

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

No problemo!

So, with eight characters at the ready... I might be starting this sooner or later. Dunno.

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

@Lugia: Then yeah, that should be fine, then.

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

@Duthguy: Should be fine.

@Lugia: I mean... He's fine as is, but... Define 'weak magic spells,' please.

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

Amen to that.

I should radio in everyone else who posted interest earlier.

Yo! OoC here! \o/

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

Name: Hyng
Race: Water Snake
Race Abilities: Water snakes aren't particularly notable; what sets them apart from typical garden snakes and their ilk is their ability to manipulate water. It's their primary mechanism for killing prey, but they can't manipulate too much, or else they essentially pass out. Which, you know, is a good way to die in the wild, all things considered.
Gender: Male
Personality: Hyng is a calculating sort of being, preferring not to go in guns-a-blazing into much of anything. Though he wasn't particularly antisocial, Hyng never really had a major social circle. He has a tendency to be a bit acerbic at times, though, occassionally making tongue-in-cheek remarks about people or things around himself. Though analytical, it would be a lie to say that he can't be a bit... Crazy at times. After all, what sort of progress was made by stability?
History (Pre-Mortem): A college student who spent much of his time browsing the internet, Hyng was... Relatively normal, all things considered. A chemistry major in school, the once-blooming college student was well-known for being one of the more... Radical experimenters with chemicals in the lab. While most of those experiments ended without mishap, his final one...
Well, let's just say you don't leave a large amount of alkali metals near water for a reason.
Appearance (Text or image, whatever works): Right now, Hyng's just... A light blue snake, about a foot long.
Other: Speaks via telepathy because of a distinct lack of vocal chords. Yes.

Here's mine! :D

@Bruised Bananna: Well, it's fine as a rough draft, but...
The character needs an actual name, for one. And second... I don't think you'd consider scratching an ability... Unless you count punching an ability, too. Just saying.
I'll give a real once-over once a finald raft arrives, then.

Edit: To Lugia: Nonhumanoid, but can transition into humanoid very early in development.
