Species: Human/leopard/snake/lizard hybrid
Age: N/A
Height: 5'4"
Length: 8'1"
Weight: 398 lbs

Scales color: Brown-red with black and yellow banding, with some faint darker brown leopard-spotting on the upper surface.

Appearance notes:
She wears no actual clothing due to her warped form. Her upper torso is human, though covered with fine fur in the leopard pattern, and her fingers are tipped with small claws. She could almost be described as some sort of cat-taur, given her lower body is that of a leopard; however while the forequarters are covered in thicker fur in the leopard pattern, the hind quarters though anatomically that of the hunting cat are instead covered with scales, with the cat tail replaced instead with a snakelike one. The streaking in her long hair is a result of the leopard spot pattern. All four of her paws contain retractable claws, and she has the fangs of a hunting cat as well. She has a tiny pair of what almost appear to be extra nostrils, one on either side of her nose; these are actually heat-sensing organs. The scaley part of her body secretes an oily toxin that will cause rash and irritation when it comes in contact with unprotected skin, and can cause more serious inflammation if it gets into an open wound. Acerbus is, of course, immune to it. About half of her body length is her tail, which often sports metal barding along the spine, with spikes and a bladed tail cap. She wears leather bracers on her forearms, also equipped with small metal spikes. She carries a pair of crudely made, jagged daggers on a belt where her human torso connects to her catlike body- she often rubs the blades against her scales to coat the weapons with her toxin. Of particular note is the small leather pouch hanging by a leather strap around her neck: the only item inside is a small red crystal about an inch in diameter.

Personality notes:
Frankly, she's nearly as nuts as Olacedo is. She's violent, aggressive, and generally unpleasant with a crude sense of humor. She is not particularly intelligent, having roughly the smarts of a child of age 6 or so; however her fighting instincts are superb with the superior hearing, speed, and agility of a hunting cat and the additional sensory abilities of her part-reptilian nature. She can fight well with her daggers but is just as deadly unarmed, able and willing to bite and scratch with her fangs and hands, and to claw and club with her powerful legs and tail. She can't actually constrict with her tail, but she is talented at using it to knock down and entangle an opponent long enough to bring her claws to bear. Her command of language is rudimentary at best, able to communicate basic information and concepts, with little beyond that. When she's not in an aggressive mood, she likes to play much like any child, easily entertained by colorful bits of cloth or stone or toys and puppets.

Biography:
She isn't evil, per se, but she is easily used by those who are. She is technically as old as Olacedo, but during the battle of the Daybreak Covenant, the vicious Keeper seized a young child and applied his body-twisting magic to her. Because he was focusing most of his efforts on his battle with the other Keepers, the transformation was incredibly slow, and incomplete at the time of Olacedo's imprisonment. One of his final actions as he was ripped from reality and sealed was to call her to the cavern the crystal was ultimately stored in, where his fading power encased her in an egg where she slept until the transformation was complete. When she finally hatched, she took the leather pouch Olacedo's crystal was stored in and began wearing it. She called it papa, and much to the Keeper's dismay takes great care of the stone, protecting it from harm (and also not touching it, preventing him from controlling her directly). She does, however, listen to and obey any other orders he gives her.

[Neo Yi]

Well, apparently I'm involved.

Name: *takes a deep breath* His Royal Highness Prince Daniel Price Quentin Masters of Dalv Kingdom from the House of Masters
Nickname(s): Ghost Boy (by his current fiancee Paulina due to his mysterious deposition), Little Badger (from his father)
Species: Human.
Age: 17 (as of CP#8) and still aging...
Height: 5'9"
Weight: Some 130+ pounds, I guess.
Hair color: White since the age of three, formerly black
Hair style: For the most part, sleeked back with two "antennas" sticking back, has the tendency to change both hair color and style; he's a fashionable kid.
Eye color: Blue. Possibly has the affect of briefly changing colors when emotional...or just used for affect via creative license by the artist herself, you be the judge

Appearance Note: He looks human with pseudo 1920's clothings and other interchangeable wardrobes, what more needs to be explained?

Personality Notes: Simply put, the boy is an enigma. A walking Machiavellian "The Prince", Danny seeks powers and for that, he has made it his lifelong goal to dominate the entire world and eventually gain immortality. By obvious observation he has a dark deposition that leads him to portray cruel acts of anything from murder to revenge from his all too true consuming habit of intelligent manipulation; anyone else to end up in the good end of his wrath is sent to Prisoner's Island. He seems to feel no remorse or guilt for his cause and unless he either respect or grows to care for someone, chances are he will use said people for his own secret needs to get what he wants.

Despite it, he is a fair prince to his people and those close to him. Because he lives by a karmic rule, one should do well to stay on his good side; as long as you don't bother him, he won't bother you. Even then, his heart is slowly melting as he openly supports his love for his father (the only person whom he respects and fears above himself) and his mother whom he desires (if not in a slight Oedipus Complex way). He also concerns over the ones he closely associates and will not let any harm come to them (much like his canon counterpart, he's a bag of teenage emotions), though refuse to show any weakness (he is a powerful ruler after all): he remembers and misses the ones who leaves him...

He is skilled in a variety of martial arts, trained from both his father and later, Sifu Iroh of the Nippon Empire. He is most proficient with his legs as he doesn't have good depth perception (long story, he sucks at throwing and catching). He is an expert fencer and has the elemental powers of Holy/Moon, Water, Wood, Ice, and Wind. About half of them he's mastered more then the other. And if you want to count this as a skill, he's quite the charmer, able to talk his way out (he's a manipulative bastard, of course). Despite his pampered life style, he's not spoiled and can handle the harsh realities of the outdoors (he's father would be pissed if he wasn't prepared--all those camping trips has had got to build SOME character!)

Bio: While I do have a bio of him in my website, it's a bit outdated. The current CP #11 is so far, explaining his general origin. It can be reached here: http://neoyi.deviantart.com/art/Chess-Piece-11-1-2-83878037
