Serpentine Leaders

Name: Skalea Species: Hypnobrai Gender: Female Age: 50 (but looks 25) Height: 6'6 ft Appearance: Skalea has the same appearance as all the previous Hypnobrai generals before her. Originally, when she was still a warrior, she had a large navy blue cobra-like head with a large gray-spiral hood with gray spirals. She had distinctive yellow markings on the top of her head that also covered her torso and legs. Her very distinctive feature is the big red eyes with dark red pupils and spirals that spin when she is using the Hypnobrai hypnosis. She also had gray arms. After she became a general, her legs grew into a long snake tail. The gray spirals on the hood changed to yellow, and the markings on the head and torso became more detailed, with the addition of white and black. She also has large breasts with blue nipples and wide hips. Clothing: She wears a black bandeau-style top that wraps around her chest, leaving her shoulders and upper arms exposed. Over it is a gold-trimmed armored chestpiece with a boob window that shows off her cleavage. A golden snake ornament winds across the front of the chestpiece, emphasizing her serpent theme. Hanging from the center is a black circular pendant suspended by a cord, with a small gold ring and dangling bead beneath it. Thin black cords run from the collar to the pendant, giving the outfit a ceremonial appearance. She wears long black detached sleeves that cover most of her forearms. The sleeves are wrapped with spiraling gold bands, almost like decorative serpents coiling around her arms. Large gold shoulder guards with pointed, fang-like shapes protect the tops of her arms. On both of the upper arms is a black armband bordered with gold, featuring a large red gemstone set into an ornate gold frame. A golden waistpiece transitions from her humanoid torso into her massive snake tail. Draped over the front is a black ceremonial panel resembling a tabard or loincloth. This panel is edged in polished gold and decorated with symmetrical gold cutout patterns, giving it an elegant, royal appearance. Personality: Skalea is a very ambitious and proud general of his tribe. Skalea often distorts the truth and manipulates his surroundings to get what he wants or to carry out a plan. Skalea is also cowardly in nature; however, he has moments of bravery when he steps up to do the right thing or to support a cause. Skalea believes he is a great leader in terms of intelligence and leadership skills, and would gladly disagree if anyone didn’t agree with it. Though unlike most, Skalea wants and requires obedience as a leader; if someone doesn’t agree, hesitates, and/or stalls for too long, he would resort to rushing them, forcing them (via temporary hypnosis), or just getting annoyed/tired of waiting and just finding something else to do. Even as a leader, Skalea still needs alone and personal time for himself, taking time for breaks for as much time as he has free. Powers/Abilities: Hypnobrai hypnosis: Skalea, like all Hypnobrai, is able to hypnotize opponents through sight and control their actions. Hypnotic sight: Skalea can see through the eyes of those she controls. Weapons: Hypnobrai Staff: After becoming the general of the Hypnobrai, Skalea often used the Hypnobrai Staff as a walking stick, but was also very good at using it in combat.

Name: Fangtina Species: Fangpyre Gender: Female Age: 50 (but looks 25) Height: 6'10 ft Appearance: Fangtina has the same appearance as all the previous Fangpyre generals before her. She possesses a mostly red body with red and white markings. She has a set of long, white fangs and white eyes with black vertical slit eyes. Fangtina, as a general, has a long serpent tail as opposed to two legs and has two heads, which take turns talking and finishing sentences—the left head speaks with a high voice, and the right head speaks with a deep voice. She also has large breasts and wide hips. Clothing: She wears a semi-transparent pink veil that drapes over the lower half of her face, giving her an air of mystery while leaving her sharp fangs subtly visible. A dark red fabric bra in the shape of an 'X' with a circle made of gold in the middle of the breasts. Transparent pink sleeves on the arms, held by gold bracelets at the ends and connected by a small gold chain on the golden ring in the middle of the fingers. A golden waistpiece transitions from her humanoid torso into her massive snake tail. Draped over the front is a dark red ceremonial panel resembling a tabard or loincloth. This panel is edged in polished gold and decorated with symmetrical gold cutout patterns, with two transparent pink fabrics on the sides of the thong, along with some small gold chains, giving it an elegant sense of luxury. Personality: Fangtina acts like a basic general and always keeps her troops in order, which range from small snakes to anthropomorphic ones that all have the same venom ability as her. Fangtina gets along pretty well with every tribe (those tribes being hypnobrai, fangpyre, which is her own tribe, anacondrai, constrictai, and venomari) and generally well with every snake. She likes thinking out strategies. Disorder is something he can't handle. Powers/Abilities: Fangpyre bite: She has the power to turn people, vehicles, and other objects into snakes. When she bites people, their victims slowly transform into a snake. Simple organisms (such as flies) and Serpentine vehicles, on the other hand, inherit snake-like abilities and appearances immediately. A Fangpyre injected with Fangpyre venom (usually by accidentally biting itself or by being bitten by a fellow Fangpyre) will sprout a second head. It is unknown what would happen if a two-headed Fangpyre was bitten again, or if a Fangpyre bit a Serpentine of a different tribe. High speed: Fangtina is fast. She is also very agile, able to jump very high, and can climb fast. Weapons: Fangpyre Staff

Name: Skalidona Species: Constrictai Gender: Female Age: 50 (but looks 32) Height: 6 ft Appearance: Skalidona has the same appearance as all the previous Constrictai generals before her. She is black and orange with yellow eyes, with several silver spikes on her head. Like all Constrictai, she is shorter than other Serpentine of her rank. She possesses greater muscular strength, enabling her to strangle opponents and tunnel through the ground with ease. She also has large breasts and wide hips. Clothing: She wears a white metal chestplate that covers the center of her torso. The armor appears slightly dented and scratched, giving it a well-used, battle-tested look. The breastplate is secured with small leather straps and bronze-colored rivets, suggesting handcrafted construction rather than ornate ceremonial armor. Her shoulders and upper chest are largely exposed, allowing her orange scales to remain visible. Draped over one shoulder is a dark brown leather mantle that crosses diagonally over her chest. The leather piece is fastened with several round bronze buttons and hangs loosely, adding an asymmetrical, adventurer-like style. Around the upper chest and bust is a wide beige cloth wrap, functioning almost like a bandage-style top. This wrap partially overlaps with the armor, softening the transition between the metal breastplate and the exposed scales. Hanging from the waist is a long beige loincloth or tabard that extends down the front of her serpentine body. The cloth is simple and practical, lacking elaborate embroidery or decoration. Thin brown cords are tied around her waist, with loose ends hanging on both sides, reinforcing the rustic, handcrafted aesthetic. Her arms are wrapped in a beige cloth Personality: Skalidona is a very brute general, having extremely short patience, being quite dense, and being stupid. Despite that, she's still a fighter and a warrior like her people. Powers/Abilities: Superhuman strength: The Constrictai are physically the second strongest Serpentine tribe. Constrictai grip: She possesses a powerful grip that she uses to strangle their foes, incapacitating or even killing them. Unlike regular strangulation, the victims of the Constrictai grip are said to never fully recover from the effects of the grip unless given the anti-venom from the Constrictai Staff. Burrowing/Digging: They are the best burrowers among Serpentine, enabling them to launch surprise attacks. Weapons: Constrictai Staff

Name: Acidia Species: Venomari Gender: Female Age: 50 (but looks 24) Height: 6'4 ft Appearance: Acidia has white spikes on her head, tusk-like fangs, and four yellow eyes, two of them smaller than the others. Her body is dark green with black, red, and lime-green markings. She also has large breasts and wide hips. Clothing: She wears a rough brown hide top draped diagonally across her chest. The material has irregular, jagged edges, suggesting it was fashioned from animal hide rather than finely tailored fabric. Around her neck hangs a corded necklace made from leather or woven fiber. The necklace is decorated with small wooden or bone beads and features a large white fang or tooth pendant wrapped in cord, emphasizing her tribal identity. A wide crimson sash is tied securely around her waist, providing a bold contrast against the earthy tones of the rest of the outfit. Hanging from the sash is a ragged, tattered brown hide loincloth with uneven, torn edges that mirrors the design of the upper garment. She wears black gloves that cover her hands, leaving only her long green claws exposed. A simple gold bracelet circles one wrist, adding a subtle touch of elegance among the otherwise practical attire. Around one upper arm is a bright red armband, standing out as one of the few vivid decorative elements. Personality: Acidicus is a very proud general of her tribe. She once fought for this position and does not intend to give it up easily. Powers/Abilities: Venomari venom: The Venomari have the power to spit hallucination-inducing venom into their opponent's eyes, which can make their victim see a number of strange things. Their worst fears, quintessentially. It will wear off gradually, but the anti-venom in the Venomari Staff can instantly cure a victim. Poison/Acid Immunity: The Venomari are immune to acid and toxic substances; they can hide themselves in the Toxic Bogs for a long time and have no effect from it, as seen in "Can of Worms". Weapons: Venomari Staff

Name: Pythora Full Name: Pythora P. Chumsworth Species: Anacondrai Gender: Female Age: 100 (but looks 26) Height: 10 ft Appearance: Unlike most Serpentine and even the Anacondrai, Pythor has a very long and curving neck—at full height, she is approximately twice as tall as a regular character, making her look even more snake-like than her brethren. She has magenta eyes and black gloves, and her skin is purple with black markings and gold spines along her chest and forehead. She also has light blue gems on the aforementioned body areas. Like the other Serpentine Generals and all of the Anacondrai, she has a long tail instead of legs. She also has large breasts and wide hips. Clothing: She wears a form-fitting black bodysuit that covers her torso and arms. Running down the center is a lavender front panel, bordered by thin gold trim, creating the appearance of a long formal vest or decorative placket. The bodysuit's high-cut design follows the contours of her body, while the gold edging adds an elegant, regal touch. Hanging from the neckline are two long black ornamental panels, trimmed in gold. Each panel is weighted at the bottom with a large blue gemstone ornament, matching the jewels in her circlet and necklace. These draping pieces resemble ceremonial stole ends or a decorated scarf, reinforcing the noble aesthetic. The long sleeves are fitted and entirely black, creating a sleek silhouette. She wears black gloves that extend to the wrists, accented by broad gold cuffs. Her claws are painted or naturally colored a bright icy blue, complementing the gemstones. A wide gold belt or sash wraps around her waist, visually separating the upper and lower portions of the outfit. The black robe or bodysuit continues down her torso as a loincloth with gold side trim, creating long, clean lines that emphasize her elegant silhouette. Personality: At first glance, Pythor is polite and friendly, but this is only a façade she uses to lure others into her plots. Her true personality is very arrogant and scheming, and she has no qualms about tricking others into furthering her own goals. She is also quite cowardly (or perhaps, aware that her combat skill is insufficient to match her foes), as she rarely confronts her enemies directly, relying on traps and her fellow Serpentine to disable them or give her an advantage. Pythor also expresses a more snarky, sarcastic side as well, usually about her circumstances or others, and often bears a dark sense of humor. She is additionally an incredible leader, being a tactical genius and incredibly smooth and charismatic to others. Pythor was also shown to have some thirst for knowledge. She is also quite ruthless, willingly devouring several of her fellow tribe members to survive, and was incredibly vengeful. At times, Pythor is a fairly cowardly warrior, and when her opponent is outnumbered, she either disappears or runs away. Additionally, Pythor showed a rather vain and egotistical side, considering herself better than others, most likely due to her status as an Anacondrai. Consequently, she was also loyal to the reputation and legacy of her deceased tribe, regardless of her callous devouring of them. While generally charming and charismatic, Pythor is also an incredibly cruel, psychotic, and disturbed being. She greatly enjoys indulging in cannibalism, constantly having recipes for eating other Serpentine on her own personal being and even attempting to devour her enemies alive. Powers/abilities: Anacondrai invisibility: Pythor's primary ability allows her to turn invisible whenever she wants. She can also disappear even when holding certain objects in her hands. Invisibility Combat: Pythor can incorporate her invisibility into her combat skills. Large Jaws: Pythor can increase her jaw width to swallow opponents whole, although swallowed victims can still try to escape her belly. Enhanced Strength: Like with all Anacondrai, physically, Pythor possessed strength beyond that of an average human being. Enhanced Smell: Pythor can use the tip of her tongue to sense which direction a smell is coming from. Longevity: Like the rest of the Serpentine, Pythor has a prolonged lifespan. Fire Immunity: Like all Anacondrai, Pythor's hide is immune to fire. Enhanced Senses: Pythor can smell using the tip of her tongue, allowing her to sense which direction a smell is coming. Weapons: Anacondrai Staff: Pythor could fight with her staff, although she usually used it a little awkwardly.

The Serpentine Staffs are the ancient staffs that belong to the five Serpentine tribes. They serve as the badges of office for the Generals of each tribe. Each staff holds an anti-venom that counteracts whatever powers that a Serpentine has used on someone. Each staff looks the same: a golden cobra twining around a golden staff. A flat, round piece goes in the middle, each with a special design for the five tribes.

The Hypnobrai are a tribe of Serpentine, based on the speckled cobra with a hint of the rattlesnake as well. They are known for their hypnosis abilities, hence the name. Hypnobrai usually have blood red eyes with concentric circle patterns resembling a large spiral surrounding their pupils, which multiply and expand outwardly at a rapid pace when they use their hypnosis. They also have a cobra-like hood, with the Soldiers, Warriors, and Generals having a full cobra head. Their colors are generally blue with medium/dark gray bodies and yellow accents. Some female Hypnobrai, however, are pink or purple. The symbol for the Hypnobrai is a blue circle with a yellow outer ring and a swirl inside, referencing their hypnotic abilities. Abilities: Hypnobrai hypnosis: The Hypnobrai have the power to mentally enslave anybody with their eyes. They rattle their tails and stare at the victim, and if the victim happens to look their way, they are placed under their control. The Hypnobrai Staff has an anti-venom that will undo the hypnotic spell. Secretive hypnosis: The Hypnobrai can also plant post-hypnotic commands, turning the victim into a sleeper agent. In this state, the Hypnobrai can see through their victim's eyes, and enforce their hypnotic control at any time. Protective eyelids: The Hypnobrai have a protective second eyelid over their eyes, for when they are not hypnotizing someone. Weaknesses: Eye contact: The Hypnobrai's hypnotic stare only works if they can make eye contact with a victim for a certain time. As such, avoiding eye contact will prevent one from becoming hypnotized, but the difficulty of fighting blind can be a hindrance. Concentration: Another way to avoid the Hypnobrai's gaze is to attack them or otherwise break their concentration. Reflective surfacing: The most beneficial means of circumventing Hypnobrai hypnotism is to use a reflective surface to bounce their gaze back at them—not only does this negate their attempt to hypnotize their victim, but it also leaves them susceptible to commands.

The Fangpyre are one of the known Serpentine tribes. They are known for providing vehicular transportation for the Serpentine. Their body markings are red and white, with soldiers and scouts possessing mostly white bodies while the warriors and the General possess mostly red bodies. They all have a set of white fangs, with the warriors and the General having sets that are longer. They all have white eyes. Ordinary Fangpyres don't have long tails; instead, they have legs, unlike the General, who gains a long tail from their staff. The symbol for the Fangpyre is a black circle with a red outer ring, a white inner ring, a pair of fangs, and a snake tongue inside, referencing their bites' power to turn people, vehicles, and other objects into snakes. Abilities: Fangpyre bite: The Fangpyre have the power to turn people, vehicles, and other objects into snakes. When the Fangpyre bites people, their victims slowly transform into a snake. Simple organisms (such as flies) and Serpentine vehicles, on the other hand, inherit snake-like abilities and appearances immediately. A Fangpyre injected with Fangpyre venom (usually by accidentally biting itself or by being bitten by a fellow Fangpyre) will sprout a second head. It is unknown what would happen if a two-headed Fangpyre was bitten again, or if a Fangpyre bit a Serpentine of a different tribe. High speed: The Fangpyre are fast. They are also very agile, able to jump very high, and can climb fast. Weaknesses: Metal armor: The Fangpyre cannot bite through metal armor and inject their venom through it. Biting down hard on metal may hurt their teeth and stagger them for a bit.

The Constrictai are one of the known Serpentine tribes. Generals and Warriors have large spikes along their heads and backs, typically orange or light gray colored. Most Constrictai are considerably shorter than other Serpentine of their respective ranks, except for Skalidona, the general. Their main colors are orange, black, and metallic gray. The Constrictai possess greater muscular strength, enabling them to strangle opponents and tunnel through the ground with ease. The symbol for the Constrictai is a black circle with an orange outer ring and 3 chain links bound together, referencing their powerful grip, which they use to strangle and incapacitate their foes, or even kill them. Abilities: Superhuman strength: The Constrictai are physically the second strongest Serpentine tribe. Constrictai grip: The Constrictai possess a powerful grip, which they use to strangle their foes and incapacitate or even kill them. Unlike regular strangulation, the victims of the Constrictai grip are said to never fully recover from the effects of the grip unless given the anti-venom from the Constrictai Staff. Burrowing/Digging: They are the best burrowers of any Serpentine, enabling them to perform surprise attacks. Weaknesses: Relaxation; As difficult as it is to relax when in the crushing grip of a Constrictai, relaxing oneself can make it easier to escape their coils; conversely, struggling only makes it worse.

The Venomari are one of the known Serpentine tribes. Most of them have four yellow eyes. Their colors are green, lime, and red. They are immune to corrosive liquids, including the waters of the Toxic Bogs. Members like Acidicus and Lizaru feature a pair of three spikes atop the flats of their heads. All of the snakes have two large fangs that spit venom, but a few like Acidia have two extra side spikes. Almost all, besides Acidia, have small bottles of venom with them and sashes around their shoulders to hold weapons. The symbol for the Venomari is a dark green circle with a light green outer ring, a white dripping inner ring, and a drop inside, referencing their hallucination-inducing venom. It may superficially resemble a skull, but it is unclear if that was the intention. Abilities: Venomari venom: The Venomari have the power to spit hallucination-inducing venom into their opponent's eyes, which can make their victim see a number of strange things. Their worst fears, quintessentially. It will wear off gradually, but the anti-venom in the Venomari Staff can instantly cure a victim. Poison/Acid Immunity: The Venomari are immune to acid and toxic substances; they can hide themselves in the Toxic Bogs for a long time and have no effect from it.

The Anacondrai were one of the known Serpentine tribes who were the most powerful, fastest, dangerous, and feared of all Serpentine, acting as the fiercest warriors of their time. The Anacondrai had purple skin, with some parts of their bodies being black, with a little gold. Unlike the other tribes, however, Anacondrai all had tails, and there was little to no difference between individuals. At the same time, the Generals (the Anacondrai were the only tribe to have several Generals) had regal body attire and red armor. The Generals also had black markings on top of their heads, with five of them sporting red eyes, while Arcturus, the main General, had green eyes and golden armor/attire. Each Anacondrai also has a colored gem on their head and chest, with the Generals having green and the ordinary warriors having red. It is assumed that when an Anacondrai's skin is bleached, it turns white and their markings become purple. Abilities: Anacondrai invisibility: Anacondrai's primary ability allows them to turn invisible. High strength and reflexes: Unanimously considered to be the strongest Serpentine tribe and even the greatest warriors, the Anacondrai were famed for their enormous strength and great speed. Prolonged lifespan: Like the rest of the tribes, the Anacondrai had prolonged lifespans. Hand-to-hand combat capability: Anacondrai have displayed high hand-to-hand combat capability, using punches and tail whips. Fire immunity: Anacondrai hides are immune to fire. Swallowing larger objects: Anacondrai can increase their jaw width and swallow opponents whole, although swallowed victims can still try to escape their bellies.
