[Ssenalcorvest]

Basic information: Race: Dhani Birthday & Age: 9th of Spring, 417 AV (105 years old) Birthplace: Dhani nest in Taldera Gender: Male My Dhani is patterned after a Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake General description: Is considered one of the largest known rattlesnake species and one of the heaviest known species of venomous snakes. Males are typically larger than females which is rare among snakes. The rattle at the end of its tail is made up of several hollow segments that break often and are entirely replaced when the snake sheds its skin. Length: 7.1 Feet Weight: 10.3 Lbs Coloring: Brownish yellow, brownish gray, or olive ground color. Overlaid with a series of dark brown to black diamonds that are slightly lighter in the center. Each of these diamonds are outlined with a row of creme or yellowish scales. Towards the tail these diamonds become bands, and the snakes belly is covered in creme or yellowish scales with dark mottling towards the sides. The head has a dark strip that extends backward from the eye and down to the mouth, highlighted similarly to the diamond shapes. Fangs: Long (17 mm for a 5 ft specimen), and fixed in the front of the mouth. Disposition: Disposition varies. Some will remain silent, and allow a threat to approach while others will start rattling at about 20 -30 feet. The rattle can be heard from far away, and is well developed. Will stand its ground and strike repeatedly if threatened, but will take the opportunity to retreat to a burrow if possible all while facing the threat and moving backwards. Diet: Forages actively, and lies in ambush for small mammals like rats and rabbits. Will prey on birds as well, even going so far as to go for young turkeys if it gets big enough. Prey is struck then released so the snake can stalk the dying animal and eat it when it succumbs to the poison. Defenses: When threatened it lifts the front half of its body of the ground in an S shaped coil. Is capable of striking at a distance of at least a third of its body length. Will strike repeatedly at large threats. Venom: Potent hemotoxin. Kills red blood cells and causes tissue damage. Has a mortality rate with humans of 10-20% if untreated. Instant intense internal pain, bleeding from mouth, and swelling/discoloration of the limb are typical symptoms. Snake Form: Length: 7.3 Feet Weight: 10.5 lbs Corvest is an olive ground color with a standard black diamond pattern, and a creme colored belly fringed with a mottled grayish black. Dhani Form: Length: 15.5 Feet Shares the coloration and pattern of his snake form which covers his head and body leaving a human torso and arms which is the lightly tanned skin of his human form. His rattle is likewise larger in this form, about the size of a regular sized club that he is not afraid to use in pinch. Human Form: Height: 5’8 Weight: 170 lbs As a human, Corvest has light brown hair and eyes. His build is mostly lean, however his shoulders are more bulky than the rest of his body. Character Concept: Corvest has an aggressive personality. He tends to come off as impetuous and impulsive. He is in the habit of talking down to whomever he is speaking with if they are not of his family. Corvest enjoys showing off how strong he is, and how much power he has over others. His most active periods are dawn and dusk. Corvest has a fondness for scaring people, and genuinely just making them uncomfortable. His favorite dish is a fresh human that he has been picking on for several days. Corvest doesn’t drink, and he doesn’t eat anything he hasn’t caught himself. History: Choice didn’t bring Corvest to Sunberth. Not his anyways. The nest in the Taldera was full to bursting, and his mother wanted her children to look for a safe space to move their family before the infighting started when too many snakes competed over too few resources. His older sister Taleth had went to Ravok. Younger brother Felis to Syliras. His younger sister Balesses to Zeltivia, and he had been sent all the way down to Sunberth. His mother’s excuse had been a sound one, but he didn’t think that was entirely the full story. There had been rumors circulating that Ssenal had been favoring Caiyha over Siku. Rumors he didn’t believe, but they got around all the same. The writing was on the walls. They had to leave. So it was Corvest’s duty to scout out Sunberth, and he almost started right back to the nest when he caught sight of the city if it could be even called that. The only thing that stopped him was that he would come back a failure, and would probably never, ever get another chance like this again. So he found a hole in the wall to shack up in, and began to get a feel for the city all the while wondering how successful his siblings had been. It had been a while since they had been in contact, but Corvest has dutifully carried on with his mission ever since arriving, trying to get a feel for this place that seems to thrive on chaos. An he had to admit. He kind of liked it. The city was growing on him and more than that, it was a former mining town with tunnels for miles underneath. Corvest sent word back to his family and decided to stay put and enjoy himself while he waited to hear back. An opportunity like this didn’t come along everyday after all.
