Glemmbohdai (Bohdai)

[Bohdai]

Glemmbohdai (Bohdai) General Birthyear and Age: The Season of Fall, Year 389 AV (120) Race: Dhani (Constrictor) Gender: Male Physical Appearance Snake: Bohdai is small for a constrictor, and he only stretches 30 feet from nose to tail. However, his musculature developed well, and he is quite strong. His scales are patterned with imperfect tan circles over a deep brown base color. Ridges of black scales have formed over his eyes and lay flat atop his head. Dhani: Bohdai’s semi-human form stretches 18 feet from the top of his head to his tail. His body is scaled in similar colors to his serpentine form, but the black scales are limited to his waist area, where tail meets torso. The scales cover powerful muscles, leaving only the joints bare, for mobility. His head resembles that of a human, but with a larger mouth, and two slits for a nose. When he opens his jaw wide sharp, curved teeth are revealed, strong enough to latch into prey and hold without breaking. Human: In his human form, Bohdai stands 6’0” tall. At the shoulders he is half as wide as he is tall, and layers of muscle coat his body. His skin in dark, and free of scars and imperfections. Long black hair, twisted into braids, fall to his shoulders. Thick eyebrows hang over harsh gray eyes. In this form, Bohdai wears simple clothes of linen. The tunic he wears hangs to mid-thigh, and is cut large enough to be unrestricting. The sleeves hang well down to his wrists. A leather vest cover his chest and stomach. Three wrought brass buckles hold the flaps together. He tucks linen trousers into knee-high boots. To avoid chafing he wears linen britches that hug his leg to the knee. In inclement weather, he pins a cloak around his throat. The dyed wool hangs to his ankles.

Persona Personality: Like his brethren, Bohdai finds immense joy in killing. However, the elation stems not from the act itself, but from the pleasure of hard-won victory. Bohdai is not afraid to use his strength to full advantage, as well as his wrestling abilities. Targets become potential shields against danger. His love of victory is so immense that he will often allow a disarmed opponent to retrieve their weapon for the sake of challenge, and will only attack by surprise when hunting. He has several preferred killing methods; each depends on his form. As a snake, Bohdai, of course, constricts his prey. When in his Dhani form he prefers battering, breaking and crushing his foes. In his human guise, Bohdai prefers killing with a blade of some sort, be it his sword, dagger, or the sharp blades on his gauntlets. Though he is proud to be a Dhani, Bohdai is prouder still of living as long as he has. He tries his best to hide his accent, so as to avoid discovery, but is rarely successful. Humor: Bohdai finds great joy in taunting. He often tells crude jokes in combat, or mocks his foe’s abilities. Likes: Bohdai loves combat and taunting. He also has a taste for apples, which are nearly impossible to find in his homeland, Falyndar. Dislikes: Bohdai dislikes ranged combat, naming archers and crossbowman alike cowards. He also despises defeat, and losing is a crushing blow against him. Defeat is a double-edged sword, however, and will drive him to become more skilled. Character History Pre-History:Bohdai was born in the fall of the year 389. He began hunting almost immediately. The constrictor tracked prey almost mindlessly for thirty years, slowly perfecting the transformation into his Dhani form. He completed the evolution by the time he had reached his maximum size as a snake. After perfecting his Dhani form, he began to hunt solely as his half-human, half-snake mixture. It was then that his taste for victory began to emerge. He took joy in wrestling his prey to the ground, and using his surroundings to his advantage. With time, Bohdai’s strength increased, and something of his sense of “honor.” Other’s of his Nest considered him an oddity, for he took no joy in surprising his prey. They began to taunt him, and by the time he turned 100, he struck out in his new human form. He wandered the jungles for a time, before working up the courage to ambush an ill-attended merchant's cart near the Kaleas border. He burst from the trees in his Dhani form, overwhelming the guards quickly. On the morrow, he took what he needed, and left the trees behind him. For years he wandered, slowly working his way towards Sylira and Syliras. On the roads he encountered many things, and learned. He began to hide his accent after being shunned on many occasions. With his skills suitably honed, he arrived at Syliras, looking for work. Post-History:
