Hollow Tree Reference

noasark: (Default)
Having inherited the large tree house in central Ryslig, Noa has been making use of the place as a sort of Vacation residence- a cottage, if a cottage was a massive junk covered tree. It does its job (though he still offers it as a more permanent residence for those who seem they'd like it), and is protected from intrusion by those intending harm, as well as from any source of fire.

Currently, a more thorough info page is being created, but the below images should give a relative idea of how the house looks on the inside. Outside, a large pond houses ducks and fish, while a henhouse stands as home to roaming chickens.

LIEWEN LABS WELCOMING COMMITTEE

noasark: (Default)
The Liewen Labs have in the past been known for arriving on-scene for new arrivals to collect information and pass about Laptops, but these days Noa has turned focus away from the 'labrat' treatment and farther into the 'support' method. Insisting that they have long since gathered all they can on the state of new arrivals to Ryslig and what connection there could be toward monster transformations, he emphasizes that the new must be shown kindness, care, and a willingness to work with rather than against.

"It is disorienting enough to awaken in a new place with nothing but the clothes on your back- adding in their eventual fate, it is vital that as much help be offered as possible."

To that end, Noa has created the Welcoming Committee.
( But really it was the secretary's idea )

LIEWEN LABORATORY LAPTOP INFORMATION

noasark: (Default)
Liewen Laboratories were a pre-established facility within Ryslig, and both then and now, the building is considered to be one of the forerunners of technology in Bavan City. One of their greatest achievements under the founder himself was The Laptop- but over the course of the time under Noa Kaiba's management of the Bavan Branch, improvements have come to a point where the Laptop Devices are quite different from what a character might find buried in the sand on their initial arrival!

For ease of information, a comparison chart can be found below, followed by a full list of features available on the V-2 Laptops- which are both available for pick up at the Laboratories, and passed out from the Welcoming Committee at certain arrival rounds.

(The Welcoming Committee can't be at each arrival round, due to the dangers that can often arise)

Notably, various improvements were made to the initial model over time as well mostly because people kept forgetting they had such issues, so the chart below can be referred to for the differences in the Laboratory Models! Further information on the V-1 Laptops can of course be found at the link located above, for those who want to find the really old school versions to work with.
( And without further ado- )

OOC NETWORK SUGGESTIONS

noasark: (:3)
Leave a comment here with an idea you have for an upgrade to the Ryslig Laptop Devices- keep in mind that they can't just suddenly jump into an advanced state, and ultimately, there may be a chance that an idea can't see fruition (but we won't know without trying!)

If you think a character would ICly suggest it, or even program it themselves, you can leave that here too! (Though for the latter, you may want to drop a question of if it can happen or not at the faq yourself!)

RYSLIG | MONSTER INFORMATION POST

noasark: (Default)
i'll update the changelog itself later shush

ALL HALLOWS MONSTER REFERENCE LOCATED HERE


FORMER MONSTER REFERENCE LOCATED HERE

NOA KAIBA | MANTICORE
CURRENT INFORMATION: TRANSFORMATION IN PROGRESS
● Cat-Like Facial Features - Noa has large, rounded cheetah ears at the top of his head, as well as a cheetah's nose-these grant far greater hearing and sense of smell than human beings. While his face is devoid of fur, he has 'tear marks' running from the inner corners of his eyes down the sides of his mouth, and the tongue inside his mouth is rough and sandpapery. As a manifestation of his Fog Alignment however, said mouth is actually wider than it appears; when he parts his lips, it is seen that he in fact bears a cheshire grin. It is filled row by row with cat teeth.

● Cat-Eyes - Noa is able to see perfectly well in the darkness, and can see more easily than humans. His pupils are not slit so much as ovular (as are a cheetah's), and though still blue, seem to reflect light at night. The irises fill much of his eye as well.

● Paws, Cat-Body - Noa's paws are padded, and his entire body now resembles that of a typical Sudan Cheetah, with thick coarse fur...though his hair, mixed green and white, trails down along his back akin to a mane. All of his paws are of course clawed, though they are curiously unable to retract. Being so cat-like in the body, Noa cannot stand very long on his hind legs, and is only able to walk on all fours, additionally lacking a true thumb. He stands just under three feet at the shoulder.

● Fur - Noa is furred from the neck down with long, curly fur. His hair blends into it from the back of his neck and down along it, forming what is almost a green mane. The pattern of the coat resembles a young cheetah. It is longer along the back and chest than it is near the abdomen. In the winter, his fur grows longer in the same vein, just as the sudan cheetah occasionally bears a winter coat.

● Large Flight Capable Wings - Noa bears flexible bat-wings resembling a certain dragon, feathered at the bottom with eagle's feathers. By the power of the Fog God, they are capable of grasping and carrying objects as if they were hands. They are quite large when fully spread; approximately 25 feet from end to end in wingspan.

● Scorpion-like Tail - Complete with poisoned barbs that inject victims with a deadly poison, Noa's tail-segmented much like an insect's albeit bearing passing resemblance to another being's tail-is impressively long. Beginning at the width of a more standard tail, it carries on for nearly three meters and gradually tapers to a fine tip by the end. It splits into three forks about half a meter from the end, and at this point is surrounded by various barbs. By the power of the Fog God, Noa is able to launch these barbs like porcupine's quills, enabling a long-distance form of poisonous injection.

● Water Breathing - As he was following the Fog God when she successfully claimed Lager Woods with Corruption, Noa was granted one boon from her power. He chose the ability to breathe underwater, and as such is able to do so with ease despite a clear lack of gills.

● Hunger & Hunting Instinct - While his instinct is not completely in place yet, at least not enough that he can easily hunt for himself in the 'wild' instead of Dyster, Noa bears a hunger for human flesh, and eats it regularly. He is able to easily keep on top of this thanks to the mental 'calendar' granted by the Fog God.

● Deceptive/Tricky Nature - It would seem that since coming into his changes, Noa has grown more proactively 'sneaky' in his actions, particularly when it comes to furthering the ideals of the Fog God.

● Tier 2 Power - As a follower of the Fog God, Noa is capable of a unique ability by her Power. By making eye contact with a victim and remaining entirely silent, he is able to cause them to experience their greatest fear, manifesting first as a sensation of creeping dread and growing steadily into a full hallucination of terror. If kept up for ten minutes, he could even inflict a heart attack-but the sound of his movements count toward his 'silence', making this difficult if his victim fights back.

● Tier 3 Form - Noa is able to take the form of a dragon-like cat, long bodied and scale-backed, known as the 'Mishipeshu'. A form more clearly made for the water, it is difficult for Noa to move upon land in this state, and is best employed as a method of swimming more easily through the water than his standard shape. He can also curl around someone to potentially protect them with his scales.

● Tier 3 Immortality - As a high-ranked follower of the Fog, Noa is unable to die unless his heart or head are destroyed. This enables him to bypass even limitations toward the cold and depth pressure in the air and sky-however, it does not protect him from experiencing the consequences of his situation, and he will feel the pain of all of these things until brought to a place of health again. Additionally, if he is physically injured, he can only heal himself of once fatal wounds while within Dyster.

● Earth Sense — While it is somewhat tricky to utilize as a human being, Noa has a purchased ability from Mana to 'view' beneath the ground and through objects. He must merely pound the ground with his foot, or vibrate something internal to him, and he will be able to take a mental snapshot of what is around him within a 25 foot radius. He can, however, only do this ten times a day.

● Electric Power — Alongside the gift of his new form, Noa was granted a new power-where his Bakunawa form is for use in the seas, his Electricity is a thing to be utilized on land, lest he electrocute himself. This power allows him to manipulate existing electricity, or even create stronger, natural lightning from the clashing heat and cold around him. To this extent, he can even spit it like fire... Though he cannot direct such bursts after they have been released from his mouth.

● Mountain Runes— Thanks to his experience with the Mountain God, Noa bears numerous runes across his body (technically the same rune). Unbeknownst to him, they resemble those of a Blue Eyes White Dragon variant from his world. These runes are virtually invisible on his skin, and they may change once his body begins changes once more.

RYSLIG INFORMATION PAGE

noasark: (WHO MEEEEEEEE?)
Snake Tail Body & Scales along the upper body
As all naga are, Noa is snake-like from the waist down. His body is that of a saw-scaled serpent, in brilliant fiery hues with scales sharp enough to burn. These scales however, cover most of his body as well-his torso, arms, and even sections of his face-namely the bridge of his nose, and the space between his eyes and brows.
 
Snake Eyes & Snake-like Features
Naga are known especially for their snake-like eyes, with slit pupils, but Noa's eyes take them to a whole new level. His irises take up nearly the whole of his eyes, filling them with blue. Aside from this, his nose has flattened to become like a snake, and his ears have disappeared entirely-if one looks close in fact, his mouth stretches open to those points, his jaw in fact reaching just near to those positions. As one can imagine, the inside of his mouth has thus altered itself as well, and he bears a long snake-like tongue with which to 'smell' the air.
 
Poison-producing Fangs & Digestive Consequences
All of Noa's teeth have fallen from his jaws, replaced by two long, retracting and hollow fangs. Because of this, Noa is unable to take in solid foods except by swallowing however, and due to how long it takes for the muscles in his upper body to pull things down, it is fairly painful to try it in chunks beyond a certain size. As such, he tends to blend his food-food that then sits either for many weeks while digesting, or passes through simply as a consequence of his boons from the Fog God.

Naturally, hollow fangs mean that he has poison reserves-and the ability to inject said poison into others. This poison is undoubtedly lethal, dissolving the insides of the body until death (Though Noa, naturally, is immune to it).

 
Heat Vision & Other Eye 'Magics'
A Naga's magic is most potent in the eyes-Noa's, in particular, is so potent that he wears glasses to keep their effects from 'turning on' the minute he looks in the direction of anything. Aside from a natural ability to see by means of heat signatures, Noa's eyes are able to cause a number of magical conditions; the simplest of them is tied to his anger, breaking glass if he becomes too irritated or stressed. The others are different however.

By looking someone in the eye, Noa can lock someone in place, paralyzing them on the spot. Even worse however, is that he can hold this paralysis-gradually turning them to stone before leaving them to suffer and die.

 
Claws, Hood, & Snake Rattle
There are more physical features at Noa's disposal, though they are admittedly the less utilized ones. His claws see use the most out of necessity, if anything-being on his hands, it means that he puts more care into filing them to more manageable points for better typing. His rattle is next in line, various beads sitting at the end and only ever shaking if he's truly quaking with fear. His hood, however, is practically useless; a flap of scales that hangs off his shoulder, it would typically be able to flip upward for a threat display if not for the four snakes off Noa's head.
 
Hair Serpents
Four ball-python sized snakes grow out from Noa's head and live among his hair, having been there since they were mere 'hatchlings' of sorts. Acting very much like normal, domestic snakes, they're somewhat 'doofy' despite their size, and tend to not be much of a threat. Because they're long enough to reach his waist however, Noa is unable to cut his hair very easily, so he tends to leave it long. All four are white/silver morphs, with blue eyes.

The snakes each have names: Ektrad, Aska, Skalvasp, Bjorken, each the Swedish name for the four trees featured in the Lithuanian folk tale 'The Queen of Grass Snakes'.

 
Travel Form
Like many monsters who bear the traits of existing animals, Noa has the ability to take the form of his-namely a larger than typical 'saw scaled viper'. His poison is still just as potent, but his body is weaker, and easier to damage while in this state. The trade off? He moves far quicker, more so than even his already swift-moving naga body, an impressive feat indeed.
 
Cold-Bloodedness
As an unfortunate consequence of being a snake, Noa's heart no longer pumps blood as it would in a mammal. Rather than sending warm blood through the body, blood must receive its heat from elsewhere, and the result is that Noa is incredibly susceptible to the cold. In fact, even being 'generally chilly' is enough to make him lethargic, and 'lax' in his attitudes, simply brushing everything aside for the sake of sunning inside somewhere.
 
Hunger for Flesh
Noa, as a Naga, bears a hunger for flesh-specifically he must eat meat at least once a month in order to properly sustain his sanity. However, because of his mouth, Noa can't properly chew such things-instead, he typically shares with his vampire housemate, disposing of bodies by blending the entire thing into shakes. Because of how much he needs to eat in one sitting, the trade off is quite successful.
 
Runes from the Mountain
A mark of his trek through the now destroyed Plaga's Peak, Noa is covered head to foot in various runes following the marks of a monster he doesn't even know. These markings shine occasionally, but they are only noticable over his scales-on his skin, they're hardly noticable.
RYSLIG INFORMATION PAGE
Secondary Feeding Method - Energy
A spell obtained when he obtained Tier 2 ranking, Noa is able to feed on Energy; this is typically used in a pinch, due to it subsequently weakening the target, and the feeding is performed by way of mesmerizing another with his rattle. The longer he rattles his tail, the more intense the pull of the other's energy.
 
Hunger Instinct
As a benefit of siding with the Fog, Noa is gifted with an internal clock of sorts, a sense of absolute dread and anxiety that overtakes him as he draws near to his berserk limit for feeding. Whether or not he realizes that is what this is, however, is unknown.
 
Adept Transformation
Having killed in the name of the Fog God while following under the old boon rules, Noa has access to an impressive monster form...in the fog, at least. While both forms are able to dig with ease, his non-fog form of the Basilisk state closely resembles a lizard of the same name, albeit with additional limbs. About the size of an iguana, it carries all his powers as a Naga...including, somehow, the strength. It is more believable in the fog-where, still eight limbed, the more snake-like beast that he becomes dominates.

Because of this transformative state, Noa is able to take an additional, humanoid form of this shape as well, while keeping his strengths. This form trots on eight legs, and bears the same sails and spikes of both forms. It is a form that he is, however, limited to 8 hours in, and a form that requires 24 hours to pass before he uses it again. As such, given that it increases his hunger considerably on top of this, he tends to try and time his basilisk transformation with his time at home in order to properly get in and out.

 
Tier 1 Modification - Wavering Eyes
Noa's Eyes, as a gift of encouragement and an additional reminder from the fog, bear a curious trait when their powers are active; the iris surrounding the slit pupil seems to gradate and shine, rippling through various shades of blue and green, and even the occasional red. When his glasses cover them, this effect cannot be seen.
 
Tier 1 Power - Poison Spit
An extension of Noa's natural capabilities, he has increased reserves of poison, primarily for the purpose of lunging and spraying his opponent with streams of venom from his fangs; the venom only reaches its full potency if it somehow enters the bloodstream however.
 
Tier 2 Modification - Wing Hands
Another gift of encouragement, reminder, and in essence an extra 'boost', Noa has been given large hand-like 'wings' which are able to fold and unfold like a fan. They can grab objects with all the dexterity of a set of oven mitts, and can throw with the same strength he has through his remaining body. Like the rest of him, they are covered in scales, and their tips are clawed.
 
Tier 2 Power - Trussst In Me
Noa is able to trigger this spell, once again earned as encouragement and reminder, by making eye contact with his victim and speaking; in doing so, Noa will cause them to view and relive their worst memories, tied to what they associate with his word. He must continue speaking, or continue making eye contact for this to work. Speaking, however, is the more potent option, constantly reminding the other of what they are watching-and if Noa is aware of what they fear, then it is all the more potent indeed.
 
Enhanced Strength & Ferocity
A hold over from his time under the old boon rules, Noa retains great strength and power during the fog-while he lacks a true berserk nature, he is more quick-tempered during the fog as a result...though he does become visibly softer around other fog followers (and the reverse around fourth followers).
 
Tier 3 Monster Form - Bakunawa
In return for pledging his utmost loyalty, Noa was granted the ability to transform into the waterborne beast known as the 'Bakunawa', a legendary sea serpent bearing heat sensing wires and enormous wing-like fins. Though unable to swim very deeply, Noa is able to swim just beneath the surface in this state, holding his breath for as long as 15 minutes provided he has the energy to do so. Additionally, his mouth is large enough that he can potentially carry and even protect another monster...excluding such things as full size trolls of course.
 
Tier 3 Power - White Lightning
Noa is now able to manipulate the flow of electricity around him, even weaponizing it for his own purposes. He can also create far more powerful forms of it from the air around him, or spit non-manipulable bursts from his mouth. The electricity he creates personally is always white, making it somewhat difficult to catch in thick fog.
 
Dyster House & Immediate Revival
Having finally shown some potential among the Fog God's ranks, Noa has been given a small house of his own located in Dyster, fortunately suited to his serpent needs. It backs into a small rock-wall, and while it still resembles something of a small cottage, there's a hot spring pool with a natural garden hidden within the rock wall itself-a place where Noa's 'pets' may safely reside while he stays there. Both the garden and spring are fairly large-however, Noa additionally has a guest room here, in case he wishes to protect a neutral ally.

Should Noa ever die, he will revive here in his home immediately, as will any neutral ally he so chooses to protect.

RYSLIG INFORMATION PAGE
General Appearance
Noa in general holds himself to an aristocratic level of pride and stature, an odd sight indeed given that he's physically-and arguably mentally-merely 11 years old. Sporting a set of glasses that hang on a chain and use impressively strong clips to sit on his nose, he keeps his hair neat and his scales shined and polished, right up until the time comes to shed skin.

Over all, he can thus be said to be one of the most well-adjusted monsters in passing appearance-though 'passing' is the key term here.

 
Grooming Routine
As noted, Noa keeps himself very clean-he bathes daily, a process that involves swimming through a large pool of his, and then dries very carefully before tying it off with sunning. His hair is brushed around the snakes, and his shed skin is dealt with via large stones lining the hall between his washroom and closet.

When it comes to the scales on his face, it can be a little trickier obviously; he has a pumice for this, and fortunately for him it takes about as long as taking out contacts to get rid of the milky scales over his eyes when this occurs.

 
Daily Wardrobe
Keeping a very neat appearance, Noa's wardrobe consists primarily of suit tops and vests; bottoms are useless to him, but he does at least have a set of customized saddle bags that he commissioned for better travels, travels that are too risky for his dear wooden chair. This combination of looks makes him fit in very well in Bavan-very well indeed, though he stands out considerably in Dyster as a result.
 
Sleep Wear & Habits
Because of the fact that he's cold blooded, Noa's sleeping arrangements are fairly unique. His bed, to start with, is beneath a 'cave' of sorts in his bedroom, stuffed with cushions and pillows. His bedclothes on the other hand, are long and warm-long enough to cover almost his entire tail. The reason for this is that he doesn't need to be able to navigate and move through the night while he sleeps; his metabolism practically guarantees he won't need the washroom, and if he does need to wake for whatever reason, he'll probably have to take them off anyway.

Taking the nightwear off is easy-he practically sheds it like skin. This happens more than he likes as well-despite being diurnal with a typically sun-based schedule, he often finds himself woken by the whims of his night-restricted friends.

 
Feeding Habits
Noa's metabolism is quite slow-however, he still has to eat regularly, due to his constant use of the basilisk form. What is curious about this however is that because of the relations of his spell, it still seems as if his metabolic rate is unchanged...he's simply eating far more than one would think needed. He's almost constantly drinking something blended up, even if it means hurriedly draining a glass and dumping the container before work.
RYSLIG INFORMATION PAGE
Death Count : 0
Despite coming close on more than one occasion, Noa has managed to avoid death during his time in Ryslig.
 
Coin Count : 10
Noa has made numerous purchases while in Ryslig; these include a walking, living chair (40 coins), a pet 'creature' (60 coins), and lastly his penthouse home (60 coins). He does not often feel the need to use them.
 
Noted Items Noa has had in Ryslig Include
  • 'Fog Opal' - Discarded, now; it was used during the City Divided event in Vandare to create a cloud of fog and sow chaos.

  • 'Tyst' - A small terrier puppy given to Noa by his friend, Touya, during the Tanabata festival. Tyst is a fairly quiet dog, generally barking only if startled, and she seems to share Noa's preference for sunbathing, relaxing, and walks. Time will tell if she grows out of it, but in Noa's opinion you don't grow out of acting older.
    •  
    Noted Items Noa has Received through Tikbalang & Mana Include
  • The Walking Chair/'Egle' - Noa's first 'pet' if she can be called that, it is a wooden chair that walks upon a pile of sprawling roots, with the chair back and arms formed of the overturned branches. The chair is able to close itself much like a clam, and is incredibly 'all-terrain' despite appearances (though obviously, she cannot enter the water). While naturally susceptible to fire, Egle tends to be kept far out of danger, as her use as Noa's chair has passed. While he occasionally uses her for large cargo runs, she's now free to roam his pent-house garden and enjoy her beer (which she takes instead of water in order to live) for the rest of her life.

  • Mystery Pet/'Hyde' (from 'Hydenellum') - Obtained from Mana after requesting 'something new', they were hatched by Noa himself after he brooded the egg for three days. It is a curious beast-one which grew larger, with longer and sturdier legs to carry it 'spinning' as time went, before finaly becoming the size of a turkey with legs that allowed it to perch in such a way one could mistake it for a decorative shoe-rack or umbrella holder.

    The main body has no visible mouth, and they secret a strange waxy substance resembling blood to keep their eyes moisturized, as they don't blink. Seemingly immortal, they're quite attached to their 'mother' as well-their favorite thing is for Noa to give them belly rubs, as the bottom of their body is coated in short soft fur.

    •  
    Noa's Penthouse Apartment
    One of the first purchases Mana ever dealt with, Noa's penthouse is large and somewhat well hidden. There is no entrance from it that any normal being can find-and the top is mirrored, meaning that from where it sits far above other buildings, anyone looking to it seems to view nothing but more sky. The main penthouse itself is enormous; a great garden sits outside, complete with large trees (including Hyde's birthplace). The main apartment meanwhile has Noa's comforts of home; his bedroom, his study, a main floor living room with a wonderful fire place (the latter of which carries heat to every room on the second floor)...From there aside from a kitchen, there is a massive washroom, complete with a bathtub that might as well be a large lap pool.

    What is unique about the apartment beyond this is that Noa must take an elevator down in order to get in and out, before digging a tunnel beneath the entire building. His roommate however, must dive down the large hole containing the elevator; this is because his own room is downstairs, far beneath the earth in a cave like structure, simplified to his bed, study desk, and washroom!
    Recently, Noa ordered a small addition for 20 coins; a guest room that goes down from his garden, for Touya. The room is rather insulated thanks to the location, and it wasn't too difficult to hook up to the electricity either.

     
    Noa's Daily Activities
    Noa works full-time for Liewen Laboratories, typically working Day Hours in order to try and improve the network devices. Keeping relatively to himself, he generally does his work and then leaves, preferring not to socialize there. From here, there are many things that he tends to do; most of them consisting of finding a nice corner in either Pandemonium or Madoka's Cafe, with a nice hot coffee, and a good book. Since entering his penthouse is somewhat difficult when he hasn't hit the 24 hour mark of his basilisk form, he'll typically head to one of two places for bed; home, or Dyster.

    Sometimes, his friends have other plans however-not to mention the rest of the peninsula.

    Kulen Parasite Event
    Noa was in fact not infected during this event at all!
     
    Control of Center Event
    During the terrorist attack staged by the Bloody Bones, Noa was caught in the crossfire of the Pryda District Attack in Bavan. The quick acting curse caused a then paraplegic Noa to melt into his walking chair, his arms becoming tied to the massive branches of it, while his scales coated much of the wood. His face melted off entirely, while his hair snakes gained a 'halo' of sorts, becoming blinded by the disk over their eyes, but being able to carry his voice through their mouths. Thankfully, he was not totally blind; the back of his chair grew a good number of eyes through which he could see.
     
    Plaga's Peak Event
    During Plaga's monster alteration event, Noa arrived at the mountain a human being-and came out an arachne going through their final changes. Within seconds, what initially manifested as four awkwardly bent legs became a full blown tick's body, complete with a large behind fanned and 'cloaked' by great leaf-like feelers. This moss-like pattern covered his entire body, only stopping near his many eyes-and his mouth, meanwhile, needed to close around a set of pincers.

    Needing to feed on meat as an arachne, Noa tended to piggy back off other murders rather than commit them himself. He roomed with his 'ancestor' (or presumed ancestor) Seto at this time, making things easier in this regard. As an arachne, he carried all of their abilities in web-making and poisoning, but had little time to utilize them before he was forced to shed the entire lower spider body and begin his changes as a Naga. More details on this form of Noa can be found here.

    RYSLIG | MONSTER INFORMATION POST

    noasark: (Default)
    ALL HALLOWS MONSTER REFERENCE LOCATED HERE


    CURRENT MONSTER REFERENCE LOCATED HERE

    NOTE: While present changes are to date, the timeline is NOT.
    NOA KAIBA | NAGA
    CURRENT INFORMATION: COMPLETE
    ● Snake Body — Noa bears the body of a sawscaled viper, which is largely red and brown in colouration. He bears the associated 'saw scales' along the sides of his body, which are sharp to the touch. At 24 feet long, Noa is now able to slither properly as a naga, 'periscoping' a portion of his body to stand at his original human height. When not moving, he can potentially raise himself to a higher point; this strains the body somewhat however.
    As much as he no longer needs the root chair, he still keeps it around, as he's become rather fond of it.

    ● Coldbloodedness — As a snakelike monster, Noa has become coldblooded. This allows him to withstand great amounts of heat, something he actively seeks out, but on the flipside makes him sluggish and weak in the cold. Snow, as such, is quite unpleasant to him, and he bundles up as much as he can, using blankets to cover his scales. Furthering this, he becomes rather 'lax' during colder seasons, unable to work up the energy to bother with too much that irritates him.

    ● Scales Over the Body — Noa currently has many scales over his body, and they have formed what can at best be called a 'suit', covering his arms, back, and even his chest. They end at his throat, with the scales moving back behind his head to some extent, before moving downward to frame part of his face and cover the eyelids.

    ● Hood — While his 'base snake' is hardly a hooded sort, Noa has a hood nonetheless. Resembling a large cape of scales, it can fan out with his mood, or simply be pulled over his head like a curtain of cloth. Typically it remains around his shoulders.

    ● Claws — unlike his fangs, Noa's claws are quite useful at the moment; resembling long, almost scale-like nails, they slice through meat with as much ease as his 'saw scales'.

    ● Snake Hair — Most of Noa's hair remains as it is, but four small white snakes have also grown out from his head. Because of where they are located, hair cuts are difficult, so Noa's actual hair has become somewhat longer since the snakes grew in-it in fact now reaches his waist. The snakes are just as long, and are as wide as his forearm having reached full maturity, so he can cut his hair to keep it trimmed at least. Their names have still not been mentioned ICly, but they are called: Ektrad, Aska, Skalvasp, Bjorken, after the Swedish names for four trees featured in a folktale focused on the 'Queen of Snakes'.

    ● Snake-like Facial Features — While much of his face remains human in appearance, his nose has flattened, and a few scales cover it, giving it a more serpent-like appearance. This look is emphasized in his fog form, where his face even juts out slightly in a 'snake snout'. Adding to this, Noa no longer has visible ears; there are yet holes he can hear from, but these are covered by his hair, and he has to wear his glasses using a strap.

    ● Snake-like Eyes — Noa's pupils have become slit, giving his eyes a snake-like appearance. The irises have also grown larger, taking up a significant portion of the sclera-so much so in fact, that the whites of his eyes cannot be seen unless he looks in extreme directions-even then, it is only a corner of white. As such, Noa has able to see heat; he cannot 'turn it off' however, so he uses glasses to offset the effects, as he has discovered that the ability tends to automatically fail when it needs to penetrate glass. Notably, due to his alliance with the Fog God, his eyes seem to have an iridescent waver to them when his abilities are active.

    ● Paralyzing Gaze — As his eyes become more snake-like, the power to paralyze with a stare has begun to come in; by making eye contact, he can lock someone in place long enough to approach and hopefully poison. When utilized on humans, prolonged exposure begins to turn them to stone, so he wears glasses to prevent the effects on others.

    ● Mirror Shattering — Not only can he lock people in place, but glass-or at least, reflective glass-will shatter in his very presence if his emotions get the best of him. The degree of damage is directly linked to his rage; mere annoyance will thus create a small, but growing crack, and so on.

    ● Venomous Fangs & Venom Immunity — much like a viper, Noa has retractable fangs in his mouth, connected to venom sacks in his body. They are the only teeth in his mouth as well, and with his jaw's ability to dislocate, it is easy to employ a venomous strike. Naturally, he cannot poison himself. The Fog God granted him the ability to not only inject this venom, but also spray it over long distances if he so desires. As such, he has larger reserves of venom.

    ● Flexible Jaw & Throat — Without the presence of most teeth, Noa is unable to chew his food. As such, while he prefers pre-blended and liquefied foods, his jaw is able to dislocate. The skin of his face and body can stretch significantly as well, allowing him to swallow prey larger than his very head, provided it is soft enough to crush down.

    ● Snake Tongue — Like a snake, Noa bears a split tongue, which is longer than a normal one. He can use this to 'taste' the air and 'smell' prey.

    ● Wing-Like Structures — Technically enormous, webbed hands, what resemble wings function more as folding baseball gloves. These great structures are five fingered, and clawed at the end, and bear a fearsome pattern upon them. Growing from under his hood and from his shoulders, they can be used to clumsily grab hold of things, and are typically folded behind him like a cape. They were granted to him by the Fog God.

    ● Travel Form — Noa has the ability to take the form of a large version of the sawscaled viper, though this form is far smaller than his normal self. It is also much faster than his normal self, which makes it useful for, naturally, travel.

    ● Fog Form — Now that his transformation as a monster is complete, Noa has unlocked a 'Fog Form'; a form of himself which, by the power of the Fog God that he follows, is far stronger than his typical self. In this shape, his hood springs up from his back, and his four snakes reach enormous size. His hair flares out as a side effect of this, while his scales become emphasized and sharp.

    ● Basilisk Form — As a follower of the Fog God, Noa has been granted a unique second form-a greatly powerful one, which can burrow through the ground. Outside of the fog, this creature appears as a tiny, multi limbed lizard about the size of a young cat. During the fog however, he grows to an immense size, larger than a horse and capable of all the things he could do as a naga and then some. Between these shapes, he can also take a humanoid form, bearing the legs of his basilisk self and the burrowing ability as well. He tends to use this form in order to do his 'casual digging'.

    ● Bakunawa Form — After pledging his loyalty to the Fog God in a most impressive manner, Noa was granted an enormous and powerful beast as a form he could take, the finned snake 'Bakunawa'. Large enough to shield and carry a monster in his maw, he is unable to swim far into the depths as a true sea snake would, but he is able to hold his breath for as long as 15 minutes while swimming beneath the surface...provided he has the energy.

    ● Electric Power — Alongside the gift of his new form, Noa was granted a new power-where his Bakunawa form is for use in the seas, his Electricity is a thing to be utilized on land, lest he electrocute himself. This power allows him to manipulate existing electricity, or even create stronger, natural lightning from the clashing heat and cold around him. To this extent, he can even spit it like fire... Though he cannot direct such bursts after they have been released from his mouth.

    ● Hunger — As with all monsters, Noa is required to feed on humans in some way. At the moment, while he does not hunt actively, he cooks and eats human flesh during each fog. Thanks to the power of the Fog God, he is able to accurately calculate when he needs to eat.

    ● Mountain Runes— Thanks to his experience with the Mountain God, Noa bears numerous runes across his body (technically the same rune). Unbeknownst to him, they resemble those of a Blue Eyes White Dragon variant from his world. These runes are virtually invisible on his skin, but are prominent on the scales, where they shine white. In the dark, they glow a pale blue as well. These runes do not seem to change between his various forms, curiously enough; they only alter their positioning as needed.

    HOW'S MY DRIVING
    NOA KAIBA | MANTICORE | FOG

    BAVAN RESIDENT


    PERMISSIONS


    * FOURTH-WALLING -- Rather not, not even sure that would be allowed
    * BACKTAGGING -- Perfectly fine! Threadhops are also ok if all involved agree!


    * HUGGING/GRABBING -- He's thirteen, and he is bitter, and he is largely a greyhound sized cat. So you can try it, but expect hissing, spitting, and possibly a bite. THAT SAID.
    * INJURY -- PM first if it goes beyond minor cuts and scrapes (so like broken bones or leeched energy). Goes without saying that any actual dying means heavy plotting.
    * MIND READING/SIMILAR -- ASK FIRST
    * ROMANCE -- As noted above, Noa should be considered thirteen when it comes to most matters- for that reason, I prefer to stick to his age bracket, with nothing beyond light kisses if it gets that far. Also, he's...got the body of a cat so. ( ????? )

    WARNINGS

    There are none so far, but if anything is brought to my attention, I will add them here.

    Do you have questions or concerns about Noa's character? Potential squicks or phobias you wish to address so that they're avoided in the future? Leave a comment here, and I'll make sure to keep that in mind.

    Additionally, if you wish to do some plotting beyond game events, you can leave a note here for that as well. Just leave a comment below, and I'll get to it ASAP!

    Please note that this page will be updated as Noa's location, appearance, and deity alliance change.
