NAME: Nayr, officially known as Experiment 357

PRONOUNS: he/him

AGE: fifteen

SPECIES: homo serpentes

JOB/TITLE: BIG experiment; offically known as Experiment 357

APPEARANCE: snake from waist down with green-brown scales and an off-white underside. Waist up, he’s rather thin, with light olive skin, a straight nose and rather sharp features, and his dark hair is buzzed. He also has some snake features on the upper half of his body; golden eyes with slits resembling a snake’s, long fang-like canine teeth, a forked tongue, some irregular patches of scales on his skin. His body is covered with scars and bruises, and he wears a white hospital gown.

PERSONALITY: Quiet and lonely, comes off as cold and jaded. Suspicious and distrustful of everyone he meets until given a reason to believe they can be trusted. Observant, always on guard for danger, and easily startled or frightened. When someone angers him, he can lash out — typically physically rather than verbally. Intelligent, and good at thinking logically, though he tends to act rashly when angered. He'll occasionally make witty and sarcastic quips.

HOME: BIG labs (though he doesn't consider that his home)

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: his room at BIG labs

FRIEND OR MENTOR: he doesn't really have any friends

ENEMY OR RIVAL: BIG and all the BIG scientists. and technically Catastrophe, since BIG works for him. 

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: he doesn't have any possessions

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "What do you want with me?"

STRENGTHS: Intelligent and a logical thinker. Observant and cautious. Some of his serpentine features—like his fangs and snake-like movements—may help him in combat. 

WEAKNESSES: He has difficulty expressing himself, especially through words, doesn’t think before acting when he’s angry, has difficulty trusting people, and is easily startled or frightened.

BACKGROUND: Shortly after Catastrophe’s rise to power, Nayr was orphaned and displaced from his home in Southeast Kingdom. BIG was taking lots of orphaned children and training the ones that could be easily molded in the BCAftV to become an army while the more rebellious ones were used in experimentation. Nayr would have been around five years old at that time, so he’s still retained some memories of what their life was like before BIG began to experiment on them. He developed snake-like features as a result of this experimentation.

I'll post Sera, Jaspar, and Arah tomorrow :] 

I suppose I should introduce Lord Helion~

NAME: Helion, Lord of the Order of Almericus.

SPECIES: Human

JOB/TITLE: General in Catastrophe's army, extremely influential. Also has been made a lord by Catastrophe.

APPEARANCE: Brown hair, brown curled beard, and gray-green eyes that are extremely keen. His features all have a sharp, acute slant, even though they're fairly regular. He's not exactly bad-looking, but if you're perceptive, you can sense a repulsive amorality emanating from him. He has a pleasant smile, beneath which seems to lurk ~something~ - you're never quite sure what.

PERSONALITY: Charming, a people-pleaser on the surface, keen-minded, sharp, shrewd, intelligent. He's a wonderful conversationalist and will usually come out on top in an argument as well. Observant, he can easily read people and figure out whether or not they're on his side. He's always figuring out what his next move should be, be it military, social, or something else. It's very hard to tell what he's thinking, though. He is very egotistical and cares for little beyond himself, hence his lack of principles.

HOME: Lives in Kyngdom's southeast, in a large ostentatious palace known as the Rosewood. It's belonged to his family - or rather, his wife's family - for centuries.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Catastrophe's home, advising him on this or that, but also the houses of the elite Nobyls, with whom he's quite a favorite.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: He doesn't have many friends. His wife sometimes advises him, and provides him with social connections. As a boy he greatly admired another of Catastrophe's generals, who is now retired and who helped him learn the skills of military leadership.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: the entire pur Al-Mari family, partly because they don't like him themselves, but mainly for personal reasons (Zara al-Mari refused to marry him years ago, which left him extremely sulky.)

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His sword; also a dark-green cloak he often wears.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Don't let other people know what you're thinking or what you're going to do." I tell you, this is one sneaky guy :/

STRENGTHS: His persuasiveness, wit, intelligence

WEAKNESSES: His ruthlessness and willingness to betray others

BACKGROUND: He actually came from a rather poor family and worked his way up through the ranks of Catastrophe's army until he finally became a general.

---

I usually like my characters, but Helion... I just don't like him :/ However, he has to DO WHAT I SAY MWAHAHAHAHAA  >:)

*a cloud of rainbow glitter appears* Ladies and gentlemen, we are now introducingggg.... Lord Helion's wifeeee!

*crowd applauds*

NAME: Almeria pur Lamour; she's also related to the pur Courageux family.

SPECIES: Human

JOB/TITLE: Elite member of the Nobyls

APPEARANCE:  Dark brown hair that looks black in some lights, usually worn in a braid around her head. She has a sensitively-cut mouth and is quick to smile when she's relaxed, but her life has made her often tense, which gives her a serious expression. She's tall and slender, with graceful movements. She isn't beautiful by any means, but she's not unattractive either.

PERSONALITY: Sensitive and needing love, she has become deeply scarred by her experiences, resulting in her becoming more closed-off and defensive. She's gracious and socially skilled, but slow to trust you and open up. Although she's naturally cheerful and fun, she's become serious, and has a sad demeanour - because she is sad, most of the time. She's more motivated by personal things than by logic.

HOME: Her ancestral palace, the Rosewood. It's large and ornate, with rose gardens surrounding it and many trees. Once it was a happy home... but now...

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Her palace, the Rosewood

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Her grandmother was her mentor when she was a child, but now, at thirty-five, she has few people she can trust. 

ENEMY OR RIVAL: So far, none yet - she mainly busies herself with the Nobyls' social gaieties, and hasn't made any serious enemies. However, Catastrophe and his allies will soon become her enemies, as she will be joining the Resistance.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: The little scarf her mother knitted for her when she was a child. It's too small for her now, but it's one of the few things that connects her to her mother, who has since died.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "The darkest hour is just before dawn."

STRENGTHS: She has a lot of experience and is willing to guide, help, and lead those who need it. She's also skilled at nurturing and caring for people, and will always defend her protegees.

WEAKNESSES: She's easily hurt by unkindness and doesn't always react in the best way. Sometimes she allows her past to affect her more than it should.

BACKGROUND: She comes from a wealthy family and has always been very sheltered. At twenty-two, she married Lord Helion, who was then thirty. She never liked him, but it was what her family and the entire Nobyl society wanted her to do, so she went through with it. She is currently in her mid-thirties and very lonely, regretting her marriage. She has no children.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "if you've bit off more than you can chew, just swallow it whole. not for actual food though, as that could prove fatal for any non-snake individual."
STRENGTHS: very intimidating and smart. physically strong, and can open doors. good at swimming.
WEAKNESSES: not awesome at fighting, and cannot function in cold tempatures. dosen't know how to comfort sad people.
BACKGROUND: now to explain the name. in Hands's society/culture, young snakes are named after dreams and wishful thinking that their parents have, such as Cloud-toucher, or Venomous, or, in this case, Hands.
