Child Name: ???
Gender: ???
Species: ??? x Rock Python
Appearance:
Noodle-like and very, very strange, this hybrid has an oily, scaly hide all the way down its body. It's predominantly black, but hosts a number of reduced python markings in russet form. Six bright eyes are set into the blunt, snake-like head, and along with the heat pits always seem to be leaking a slimy substance often found in decaying Gembound corpses. This will likely earn it the name of Sniffles, seeing as it always seems sick. Down the throat and where front legs might be are large ducts that secrete bubbles of this same slime, aiding it in mobility where rough ventral scutes might be problematic. Bird-like hind legs can stretch and move with all the dexterity necessary, but lack the strength to really do anything useful. Spines likely found on its life-giver accentuate the back of its head, "torso's" end, and "hips."

Fully grown, this hybrid will be about twenty feet long from nose to tail-tip and weigh around eighty pounds. Its stone is a jagged hunk centered on the dorsal above its foreleg ducts, resembling its stone-giver's.

Element: Fire
Stone: Onyx

Ok'd by CJ!

y'all want

a daughter??? (no but seriously if anyone else does a nice app feel free b/c i know i have 7 billion already like i can't even see my full dropdown list anymore help me)


Name: Sniffles (or whatever her parents name her) & she might eventually rename herself with time!
Gender: GURL

Personality: Innocent, in that she always expects others to be good; a little shy, curious, gentle, but adventurous and outgoing. She's very naive and easy to fool, and kind, despite her appearance. She is, against all odds, loving to her rather odd family, affectionate, open, and loyal.

Beyond that, her persona could be summed up in one word, and that is "storyteller." She will seek out new experiences, new Gembound, and new places, delighting in anything novel whatsoever, weaving fanciful wide-(six)-eyed tales about everything she encounters. This can lead her into getting into trouble, if she isn't careful, as despite her shyness she has a little bit of daredevil in her. Weaving stories and trading them for the tales of others is her delight, and it's hard to get her down, though she can get her feelings hurt fairly easily. She's extremely non-confrontational, liable to be surprised and hurt at any cruelty rather than defensive, and will tend to sadly depart a situation rather than try to escalate. Beyond that, character interaction and development may shape her a variety of ways. Whatever the case, she will be certain to return often to Septiezal and to the Children of Rot, happily sharing excited tales of her exploration and adventures, bringing back both useful information and questionable exaggeration.


RP Sample: Her warm scales brushed the stone, muscles growing taut to haul her up and over the boulder's edge. Talons nearly slipped, her oil making the grip a little too loose for comfort, and by the time she'd made it to the top she had to lay out like a pasta tube and rest.

Once her breath had returned to her, she blinked (all six eyes) and raised her head, tasting the air with a flick of black tongue. Grass, mud, rock, rat. There wasn't much there, so she wasn't sure where the mysterious glimmer had come from. Was it part of the rock? A rat's strange gemstone? Adventure had drawn her here, driven her entirely up the wall in an entirely literal fashion, and she wasn't about to give up now. A sense of excitement thrilled through her, and she began to weave her way along the rock, heedlessly entering the shadows at the depths of the wall, leaving a thin and patchy oil trail behind her.

Would she find treasure, or danger? A wonder, or a threat? Therein lay the excitement; and no matter what she found, she knew she'd find a story.

Name: Sniffles
Gender: Genderless (They/Them)

Personality:
Sniffles is anything but cowardly. They are adventitious, always seeking things that they find interesting, or weird. They are always looking for some kind of adventure, even if it may put them in danger because of it. Fear not! Any danger would cower at their presence, only for them trying to make friends and accidentally scaring others on more than one occasion. Despite that, Sniffles is incredibly confident and takes their time when doing things. It must be done the right way, or it will not be done at all. They don't actively seek out conflict, and instead prefer to make as many friends as possible while protecting those they care about. Though their large appearance and sniffily features may scare some off, if they get to know them, they will find a lifelong friend that would do anything to protect those other creatures.

Sniffles is sniffly, sure, secreting a substance that anyone viewing it would call odd. It is normal for them, though, and they try to keep it out of the way from other creatures. Failing a lot more than not. Sniffles is very trusting, staying near those they meet despite them being potentially dangerous. They don't understand that danger is possible and they could get hurt. They are also a picky eater, eating only the things they like and nothing else, it could cause some problematic meal decisions.

RP Sample:
Sniffles moved through the area of the location they were in. Their large size proved to be an issue when traveling and made then infinitely slower than some of the other creatures they'd seen. They all moved so much faster then Sniffles themselves, and they wondered if they would ever get to travel that fast despite their size. Maybe not. Oh well.

Using their legs to move a bit faster, their noodly body moved through the hot lands, scales not burning on the sand below them. Sniffles was looking for someone to keep them company. They'd been rather bored recently and wanted someone to talk to about her discoveries. Which, admittedly hadn't been much in the most recent cycle, but they were getting there! Their amaranthine body making their snakelike head move to look in all directions, despite having so many eyes.

@Esther Navy and I talked about it and we've decided that Sniffles will go to YOU. CONGRATS!
