Slither


Basic Information

Race: Dhani Constrictor
Birthday & Age : 85, born on the 30th of fall, 427
Gender: Male

Languages

Snake-tongue: Fluent
Common: Basic

Physical Description: Still not knowing how to change to human form, Slither spends his time in his Dhani form - with a length of "only" 16 feet as he's not completely developed, he still boasts powerful muscles and a solid frame. His scales are brown, like mud, with intensely green eyes. His back is usually missing scales, as are his neck and wrists under the shackles. The only clothing he wears is a harness, as useful to hold him in one place as it is to make him carry weight.

His snake shape, though he rarely uses it, measures around 25 feet.


Character Concept

Slither is a Dhani slave that has been repeatedly broken and, as such, he is pretty much an apathic yet obedient creature. A tiny spark of the open flame that was once his pride remains, keeping him from taking his own life, but that's the only thing to which he holds on.

Internally, he lives the life on a day-to-day, moment-to-moment basis, trying to suppress memories of the past and hopes for the future, since both bring him pain.

Character History

Slither's first few decades of life were as normal as they come, at least for a Dhani. The fight with the Myrians, while part of his everyday life, was more of a game than a real war at that time. It was that feeling that led him to hunting on his own for the most part, enjoying the thrill of evading the scouting patrols out to catch him.

Of course, everything good comes to an end - eventually, as it was bound to happen, he fell into a trap. The thin netting of woven steel, did not offer any escape for the youngling, and he resigned himself to being taken by the cannibals.

But it was not the cannibals that checked that trap, but rather a varied group of humans. Taking no risks, they knocked the Dhani out before pulling him out of the trap, their eyes gleaming with greed all the while. When he woke, he was chained, leaving the jungle.

While he didn't enjoy it, he doesn't remember the time he spent with the slavers for their cruelty - perhaps it was simply a matter of him being worth more in good health, but they didn't beat him up much. A much more powerful memory dates from that time, the name he'd be called by from that moment on: Slither.

After his first sale, he changed hands often, usually bought for his physical strength. Sooner or later, however, the owner would get tired of his defiance and, in a few cases, the youngling stayed alive by a thread before being sold again. His scales regenerated, his body healing the marks of the abuse, but his mind was slowly being eroded.

In time, he'd be broken. His eyes no longer staring with superiority, but rather a blank tiredness, his back hunched where it once stood tall, defiance a bland obedience. And in that moment of triumph for his owner, he was to be sold again, for he no longer provided entertainment.

A few more years passed. Slither became his true name, for he couldn't bear to think of his home and what he'd lost. The pride that had once sustained him now had faded into a stupor, with nothing to look forward to and no hope of improvement.

Now, he's on sale again after the Djed storm killed his previous owner, himself escaping from the damage because he was in an underground pen. Unfortunately for Slither, the family seems more interested in getting rid of him than making a profit, so he might just end in the wrong hands.
