Name: |
Ngene Emeraldis |
Origin: |
Phe's Shipping Squares (April 2022) |
Gender: |
Female |
Species: |
Shadow Hydra (1/2 Tris'Hath Hydra, 1/4 True Chaotic, 1/8 Spirit of Destruction, 1/8 Daemon) |
Colour: |
Black-Silver |
Size: |
Large (25' at the shoulder) |
Abilities: |
Shadow Limbs. The ability to shift the hydra's shadows into up to 15 natural subordinate heads, which otherwise are a mass of eyes in the darkness. |
Breath Weapons (Acid, Fire). The ability to breathe either a gout of fire or a spray of acid.. |
Destruction-Feeding. Rather than simply consuming meat, these hydras can destroy to feed. The most delicious and sustaining meals are the energies released when living things die, which they can absorb simply by being present. They can also consume any energies released when they enact their destructive powers. |
Destruction Powers. These hydras are an incarnation of chaos and destruction. Destroying anything around them comes with natural ease, not from brute strength but from force of will. |
Insubstantial Form. Although they appear solid, these hydras can will themselves into an insubstantial shape. Like a thick cloud of smoke or fog, they can barely be touched. |
Natural Spellcaster. After reaching their first decade in age, the hydra begins to develop magical ability. The older they get, the more powerful they can become. |
Shapeshifting. The ability to shapeshift into any other form, without limitation. (This could indeed mean shifting even more heads than their base 18, but they would not count as natural.) |
Telepathy. The ability to communicate mind-to-mind. |
Verbal Speech. The ability to communicate in spoken words. |
Teleportation. The ability to teleport anywhere within sight or that can be strongly visualized in the mind. |
Personality: |
There's order to be found in proper communication and loyalty bids one to remain steadfast despite their strength.
Though Ngene is perhaps the most powerful hydra— at Arx Infusco at least amongst the mortals— she is not its natural leader. When she came to the Arx, she sought its leader immediately, and upon finding him (the illustrious Arx Atra Mons beast, Ezikiela'khan) she bowed her head and promoted herself to Arx Headmaster, loyal to him and him alone.
You see, Ngene does not enjoy the prospect of leadership. Leadership comes with planning and plotting, dealing with outside forces, and ensuring the long term health of a pit of vipers that only want to destroy one another and the world along with it. Instead, Ngene chose to be the overseer of those vipers directly. Why not, when destruction sustains her? She now manages the Arx, overseeing the culling of the sick and the weak, and gently terrorizing those who would seek to endanger the Arx by the occasional will of force chokings and other uncomfortable means of intimidation.
Ngene is not purely evil, either. She is an excellent listener, and knows what to say to the right people. She cultivates friendships with those who are of at least of Greater rank, specifically those who seem competent and who are willing to keep an eye out on their more unruly peers. In this way, Ngene is almost a force of Order. Since her arrival, the Arx has not exactly had less squabbling... but what squabbling it does have tends to be quicker, with more immediate and deadly results. Those who would rabble rouse are now prone to voicing their concerns more productively, or else to kill or be killed for their trouble.
