Gaian Name: [double] [NEGATiiVE]
Character Name: Xiomara
Species: Nagini
Gender: Female
Age: 659, appears 27
Element: Fire
Other Powers: Necromancy, “Death Glare”, Venomous Fangs
Weapons: Two Katanas
Position: Brigadier General
Brief Bio: Xiomara was practically born with the desire to cause pain to others - starting on small animals during her early years and moving onto other elves as she grew up. Eventually, she was caught and cursed to living out the rest of her days as a nagini - moving into the depths of Vulcan and making her way up the ranks to lead the army against the elves. She tells very few people the exact details of what got her cursed, but she does tell them that the more serpentine a nagini is, the worse a crime they committed - and leaves it at that.
Personality: Rarely showing joy except when others are in pain, Xiomara is one of the most sadistic people to live in Sulis (if not the most sadistic person). She has a dark outlook on the world and studies the past and present through books and through her own deadly eyes. Xiomara has a huge superiority complex and is almost always sarcastic.
Appearance: From the tip of her tail to the top of her head, she is about nine feet long and has a fairly normal build for a nagini (although she is a bit more muscular). Her hair is ash black, although made of Egyptian cobras with silvery eyes, and her slit eyes are a golden yellow (although nobody but other nagas with the cursed eyes have ever seen them). In addition to her sharp fangs, her tongue has also gained a forked-shape. The pale skin of her upper half is scaly around the fingertips and scalp, while the lower half of her body has a diamond pattern, mixing black, silver, and blood-red into her scales. The sides of her arms have thin, black spikes that increase in size the further up her arm they go. Her fingernails are long and claw-like, being fairly sharp and hard – as well as black. She tends to wear gold bracelets (from wrist to elbow - have holes in them where her spikes come out), silver armor (with purple gems embedded in them), a necklace (silver with a dark red gem), and she wears a black top that mostly covers from her underarms down to the upper part of her stomach. She also tends to wear black-tinted glasses, to prevent her Death Glare from killing her subordinates.

Character Name: Aiko
Species: Nagini
Gender: Female
Age: 704 (appears to be about 27)
Element: Light
Other Powers: Communication with R/F/A, Venomous Fangs, Doesn’t Breathe
Weapons: Kusarigama; Hira Shuriken
Position: Brigadier General
Brief Bio: Sayuri and Aiko grew up together, spending most of their time in the center of Capital City between their two counties, so they could practice their magic. They used their light and dark magic in conjunction with each other to test the true power of the two, which resulted in the deaths of several upper-class priests. They were cursed at the equivalent age of 16, soon after which they began dating and further enhancing the combined powers they held. Sayuri promoted Aiko to Brigaider General after she became General.
Personality: Aiko is studious and curious about how the world works, trying every combination of power in everything she does just to see what will happen. She tends to be a bit of a smart aleck, but she is really an intelligent and kind person – just a bit difficult to deal with from time to time.
Appearance: Aiko’s tan skin, hazel brown eyes, and strawberry blonde hair blend in nicely with her serpentine-half which is almost entirely brown, except for thin stripes of golden scales that go across it every two feet. Her fingertips and scalp are slightly scaley, and her fingernails (while not as sharp as Xiomara’s) are finely pointed and sharpened, enough to do some damage to a fair-skinned elf. Like her fellow brigadier, she wears a large amount of gold jewelry and armor (covering her shoulders and chest). In addition to the her original appearance, she has made a strand of her hair much lighter using her magic, and uses a glittery-gold powder over her eyes and lips.

Character Name: Sayuri
Species: Nagini
Gender: Female
Age: 692 (appears to be about 27)
Element: Dark
Other Powers: Venomous Fangs, Doesn’t Breathe, Necromancy
Weapons: Zanbato; Hira Shuriken
Position: General
Brief Bio: Sayuri and Aiko grew up together, spending most of their time in the center of Capital City between their two counties, so they could practice their magic. They used their light and dark magic in conjunction with each other to test the true power of the two, which resulted in the deaths of several upper-class priests. They were cursed at the equivalent age of 16, soon after which they began dating and further enhancing the combined powers they held. Sayuri made her way up to General after ten years thanks to her zanbato, choosing Aiko as her personal aid and closest subordinate. She named Xiomara her successor, on the basis that if she or Aiko were to die, the other was destined to follow soon after.
Personality: Sayuri is a power-hungry opportunist, taking every chance she can to make herself better. She enjoys the company of others, especially her girlfriend’s and her best friend, Xiomara. She loves the idea of contradiction and doesn’t like things going according to plan (usually resulting in her coming up with insane, cockamamie schemes as war tactics).
Appearance: Sayuri has chin-length, shaggy, black hair that she normally keeps out of her face with a ruby hair pin. She has tan skin, blood red eyes, and a forked tongue of a similar color. Her fangs are longer then most nagini’s with the venomous teeth have, although they don’t deter from her appearance much. Like Xiomara and Aiko, her fingertips and scalp have some scales on them, although she does not have as sharp claws as the fire nagini. The snake-half of her body is entirely black with no pattern, and from tail to head, she is nearly eleven feet long. She wears very little clothing, only black armor over her chest to protect her heart (and cover up her privates) is worn by her, although she has a thick leather strap going across her armor to hold the zanbato up, as well as small pouches on the strap for her shuriken.

Character Name: Aniketos “Ani”
Species: Naga
Gender: Male
Age: 530 (appears about 21)
Element: Metal
Other Powers: Telepathy, Regeneration, Speed
Weapons: meteor hammer (chains – head of mace)
Position: Major
Brief Bio: Aniketos is the son of the most influential merchant in the Land of Aneth, although he hated his father for pushing the business onto him. He spent most of his teenage life with his best friend Niki, from the village on the other side of Sulis. Two years ago, his father had decided that he had to learn the business one way or another, telling him he could not speak with Nikias until he was dead and inherited the business. In anger, he ended up murdering his father – and when brought before King and Queen – he was sentenced to life as a naga. He is willing to fight the elves for what he believes in, but his loyalty still lies with Niki.
Personality: Ani is flirtatious, oblivious, but kind-hearted for the most part. He has severe mood swings sometimes, normally when memories of his father or Niki are triggered.
Appearance: Aniketos has shaggy dark brown hair (about neck-length) that tends to cover his mercury-silver eyes no matter how much he tries to fix it. He is very tan and muscular and about 10 feet long (from tail to head). The snake half of his body is black with silver stripes (which also has a black rattler, which serves him little purpose but distracting other people and sheer entertainment). He chooses not to wear anything, although he constantly carries around his meteor hammer.

Character Name: Nagendra
Species: Naga
Gender: Male
Age: 2,942 (appears to be about 71)
Element: Air
Other Powers: Regeneration, Doesn’t Breathe
Weapons: 2 Dadao
Position: Admiral
Brief Bio: Nagendra was the previous King of Sulis, father to Zion. He actually had the curse forced upon himself to compensate for the sins he committed in his lifetime, passing the throne onto his son by doing so. As one of the first naga to join the revolution against the elven kingdom (despite the fact that they did nothing to him – he isn’t pleased with his son’s use of the curse), Nagendra has managed to reach the rank of Admiral, leading the entire sea unit against Sulis.
Personality: Nagendra, despite the many sins of his past, is a generally good person, who only wants the elven kingdom to be in perfect peace – but with the increasing number of naga/nagini in the world, his dream was split between peace for the naga and peace for the elves as he knows the two species can not coexist. He commands his troops dutifully, but rarely speaks to anybody in a friendly matter.
Appearance: The once sky blue hair on Nagendra’s head has turned to a silvery-white, matching his half-lidded eyes. He has pale skin and has lost a lot of his muscle as the years began to push on the elderly naga. The lower half of his body is pale blue, with gray diamonds making a pattern across the scales. He is fairly short, only about 8 feet long from tail to head, and he tends to slouch a bit. He wears navy blue armor on his tail, shoulders, and chest – matching the helmet and gauntlets he wears on his head and arms.

Character Name: Bartholomous “Bartholo”
Species: Naga
Gender: Male
Age: 986 (appears to be about 39)
Element: Lightning
Other Powers: “Death Glare”, Telepathy, Speed
Weapons: Needles, Large Halberd
Position: Captain
Brief Bio: Bartholo grew up as the healer’s son in his village, making sure that the children were happy while they recovered. He enjoyed putting on shows of electric display for everybody, although he rarely did anything for the happiness of others. Like several people in his family, he has what most call “electromania”, or an uncontrollable urge to electrocute other objects or living things. Needless to say, it was his obsession with lightning that got him cursed. He now serves under his teacher, Andreas, and spends most of his time following the older naga around.
Personality: Bartholo is, for lack of better words, senile at a young age. He has a tendency to act peppy and hyperactive nearly constantly, which mostly just annoys other people (but that is probably part of the reason he does it). He loves to yell, and broadcast his thoughts and opinions to others; whether they care to know or not. Generally, he just enjoys disrupting the peace and disturbing other people (naga and elf alike) to any extent he can.
Appearance: A dark tan, darker black hair, and wide-eyed golden eyes grace Bartholo’s figure and stand out more then the rest. He has a muscular build, needed to carry around his Halberd which weighs nearly as much as he does (which is quite a lot). The lower half of his body is almost entirely chocolate brown, but the layering of his scales is a golden-brown. He doesn’t wear a shirt, but he almost always wears a thick, gold necklace that goes from his Adam’s Apple down to the top of his chest.

Character Name: Andreas
Species: Naga
Gender: Male
Age: 1,246 (appears to be about 42)
Element: Ice
Other Powers: “Death Glare”, Doesn’t Breathe, Communication with R/F/A
Weapons: Pike
Position: Commodore
Brief Bio: Andreas was cursed when he was only seven years old in human years, after freezing over most of his family to keep them from leaving him. After being cursed, he ran off into the seas – living in the shallow ends with the fish, although he ended up freezing most of his friends in the oceans too. Eventually, Nagendra came across him at sea and raised him on his ships, training him to be his successor. While Andreas rarely shows it, he sees Nagendra as his father and cares deeply for him, as well as his irksome subordinate, Bartholo.
Personality: Andreas acts cold to everybody, even Nagendra and Bartholo, but he fears being alone more then anything in the world. He knows that he cannot control his ice as well as he should, and fears freezing over Nagendra and Bartholo – despite the fact that Nagendra is powerful enough to prevent it, and Bartholo’s lightning could keep him from freezing.
Appearance: Andreas’ skin is pale, with a noticeable blue tinge to it that matches his ice-blue eyes and slightly darker hair. Corresponding with the rest of his frozen shading, his serpentine half is pale blue with a white diamond pattern. He carries his pike over his shoulder and wears no other clothing, as he is fairly used to the cold sea breeze. He has a fairly small build, not very tall or muscular, but he can still hold his own in a fight.

Gaian Name:Shouhei
Character Name:Arkanus
Species:Naga
Gender:male
Age (actually/appearance):unknown but appears to be 18
Element: wind
Other Powers: fast, regeneration, "death glare"
Weapons: Twin daggers
Position (upperclass, General, King, etc.):freelancer (does whatever he can for money)
Brief Bio: Arkanus was born a long time ago into a small family, as he was growing up it was thought by his parents that there was nothing special about the boy. However, as he began to grow into his powers things began to change, while his abilities were never considered extrodinary he did his best to use them in extrodinary ways. Thus after he felt himself old enough he left his home and began to travel, doing odd jobs, trying to improve himself along the way and though he had no major concerns about the looming conflict he figured that when it came he would be right there to support his fellow Naga.
Personality:Arkanus tends to be easy going, some have thought him to be overly so in this reguard. However, despite his easy going nature during a job he is very serious and determined to complete his assignment.
Appearance: Arkanus is from the tip of his head to the tip of his tail 10 feet long. The serpentine portion of his body is colored a dark almost flawless black and has midnight purple scales in an intricate pattern to simulate the night sky. His upper half is tanned and he has a muscular build. He has long silver hair which he usually keeps tied back to keep out of the way of his soft golden colored eyes. He usually wears various types of traveling clothing, (all of which from the waist up) this depending upon the temperature of the place to which he is going to at that time. However, he always has a cloak which he carries about with him so that he can conceal himself when need be.

Gaian Name: Anime-himeRin
Character Name: Hauke
Species: naga
Gender: male
Age (actually/appearance): real age unknown, appears 15
Element: lightning
Other Powers: fast, regeneration
Weapons: thunder-based magic
Position (upperclass, General, King, etc.): peasant
Brief Bio: Only naga because bot of his parents were of similar breed, Hauke lives in an area where those who are Naga/Nagini are shunned by society-- no matter their method of creation. Being but a lowly peasant, Hauke generally dislikes interacting with others because of how he is treated-- not only for his social status, but because of his breed.
Personality: A kind-hearted soul, Hauke becomes very withdrawn around elves. He doesn't really like elves, as they tend to dislike him, but he gets along fairly well with other nagas.
Appearance: He looks kinda like that picture on DA of the Naga Cid.... cept he's got a bit more of an orange-ish tint.

Character Name: Rajanikant, usually goes by Raj
Species: naga
Gender: male
Age (actually/appearance): looks about 17
Element: water
Other Powers: telepathy, venemous fangs, don't require oxygen
Weapons: water-based magic, lance
Position (upperclass, General, King, etc.): none, really, he travels from town to town doing whatever he can that pleases him for money
Brief Bio: Traveling across the land from Quarishna, Raj was abandoned by his parents as a young naga. Both of his parents were of similar breed because of crimes they committed, and did not have it in their hearts to raise a young one, so they left him. Having lived with an old nagini in Quarishna (his birth-land is unknown) until he was old enough to leave, Raj knows how to appreciate help when others offer it, but he wants to be the one to help for once, instead of always being in need of it. That's when he met Hauke...
Personality: A bit of a jackass at times, Raj doesn't like feeling inferior and he hates having absolutely no control over his life. He wants to one day find his parents and ask them why they abandoned him, but that's a secondary goal... he really just wants to be loved, but he's too dense to realize that.
Appearance: A blue naga, it is suspected that at least one of his parents was from Quarishna or Zafricia. His hair is the darkest shade of black imaginable, and his eyes are a chilly blue. Is about as much serpentine as Hauke is (meaning as much serpentine as naga Cid is XD)

Character Name: Talise
Species: nagini
Gender: female
Age (actually/appearance): doesnt know her actual age (its over 100) but appears to be in her late teens, early twenties
Element: earth
Other Powers: communication with reptiles, amphibians and fish
Weapons: doesn't use any weapons besides her magic
Position (upperclass, General, King, etc.): she travels from town to town, selling whatever kind of goods she can make with her hands (clothes, jewelry, etc) and makes good money from it so.... a bit higher than middle-class, i guess
Brief Bio: A nagini because both of her parents were, Talise is sick of being shunned for what she is. She is tired of people telling her she is hideous, and this has prompted her to make and sell jewelry, clothings, and trinkets. She wants to make things that are beautiful because she herself is not. Not being particularly serpentine, Talise hopes to find a naga like herself, or just someone in general who will accept her for who she is.
Personality: Somewhat emotionless, Talise prefers to sit back and quietly observe the emotions of others. She is content to watch those who buy what she makes be happy with it, and leads a simple life. Then she meets Elrond, and he starts to travel with her...
Appearance: Earthy brown hair rests to just past her shoulder blades, and her eyes are a soft green. her scales (one of the only serpentine features she has) are grayish-black

Amaya stirred as the sunlight shone on her face, and opened her eyes to the bright morning. Realizing she had fallen asleep in the forest, Amaya shielded her eyes as she rose to her feet and began to head back home.
"Oh crap, I hope mother and father aren't mad at me, I didn't tell them I'd be away last night...", she murmured.

Increasing her walking pace, Amaya heard a bird next to her tell her something. Not having caught it, she asked the bird to repeat it and he did.

"Shirin is looking for you"

"Shirin?", Amaya responded, eyes lighting up.

Shirin was waiting at the edge of the forest, knowing that her friend would probably emerge sooner or later. She knew her well enough to know that she had a tendancy to forget to tell people about these things, so she'd probably be back soon, apologizing about having forgotten again.

Sure enough....

"Shirin!"

Hearing the voice ring out ahead of her, Shirin smiled softly, knowing her friend was on her way. Not several moments later, she was able to see her closest friend emerge from behind two trees, face slightly flushed from running.

"There you are.... sleep well?", Shirin inquired, "Everyone's a bit worried, and I told them where you probably were. Looks like I was right..."

Laughing nervously, Amaya mumbled "You know me too well, sometimes..." before she looked towards their village, calm and peaceful in the morning light. "Let's go back.", she said. Shirin nodded, and together they headed back to the place they both called home.

((*whistling* i didnt make their colors the colors of my OTP on purpose... ... ... ninja ))

Upon checking the contents of the bag he noticed that he was becoming rather low on supplies. Rifling through the contents of the bag with his right hand he took a count of all the things that were within without making a sound, not uttering a single word, simply making a mental count of everything in there. Upon finishing he tried to figure out how long the supplies would actually last him, he figured tha the might have a few more days if he ate very sparingly. This did not sit very well with him but he realised that the choices that he had in such a situation were not very great. He could eat well for one day and then go hungry the next two or three, or he could eat megerly and eat for at least four days. Slinging his satchel once more over his shoulder he continued on through the forest. He wondered what kind of settlements he might come across if he continued along his path, all he knew was that he had to be careful where he went. Even though he did not have any particular qualm with anyone he knew that there were those who would take up arms against him for little to no reason at all.

Medb rubbed the sleeve of her kimono between her fingers idly, looking around the large throne room with a jaded expression, letting out an exasperated sigh to herself as she turned to her long-time husband and King of Sulis, Zion. “Zion, my King, may I ask what your plans for the day are? I have heard that Xiomara is planning an attack in the near future, and Sayuri and Aiko seem to be agreeing with her plans…” she asked, looking into his eyes with some interest.

---

Nikias took another step, pausing for a moment to feel the area around him, sensing an unfamiliar presence. He could sense two of his fellow villagers, Amaya and Shirin, but he could still feel another person... one with air powers, "Who could be here with the powers of wind?" he asked himself, before his eyes widened, "Unless it's a naga..."

Arkanus stopped for a moment, he lifted his head up and closed his eyes, he took in the sounds, he took in the smells all hightened due to the conscious filter he was putting on himself. He could hear voices, he could smell something, and it did not smell like naga or nagini so he reasoned that it would most likely be an elf, more than one. He opened his eyes and sighed. He drew his cloak about his figure and continued through the forest, he was following the sounds he had heard which was a bad idea, he knew this he simply wished to confirm his suspicion. As soon as he did he was out of there, at least he hoped so.
