About Tyler
Name: Tyler
Gender: Female
Skin Color: Light brown
Eye Color: Yellow
Hair Color: Rusty orange/brown
Personality: (only basically layed out for her younger stages, as I expect her personality will be refined through rp biggrin ) Basically, imperious and arrogant. She'll be one of those kids who does whatever she wants, and can get vicious when her will is denied. Not a mean kid, but very much concerned with her own needs over the needs or feelings of others. Will probably scratch and bite if provoked. Will insist on doing many things on her own, such as picking out what to wear and what to eat. Stubborn as hell. Will probably become less so overtime, and perhaps even gain a little tact, maturity, and concern for other people (we hope!)
Abilities
Fire Breathing - Fairly self-explanitory. When Tyler wants, she can open her mouth and breathe fire :'D At first this will only be smoke, and she won't be able to control it, but when she's fully grown she'll be able to spout flames like a blowtorch XD
Poison Fang - From the snake aspect of the Chimera. Tyler's fangs will eventually develop a venom that will be increasingly toxic. She will be able to inject it into people if she bites them, but it will never be fully deadly to humans. It'll only be strong enough to make them VERY sick and kill smaller animals when she is fully grown.
Tooth & Nail - Also kind of explains itself. Tyler's teeth and claws are VERY long, sharp, and thick, and can do a LOT of physical damage when she wants them to.
Stage Descriptions
Wand: A roughly hewn wooden stick with carvings of a goat and a lion etched into it, twisting at the bottom end to be carved like a snake's head. At the tip, a glittering gem that looks like it's filled with fire.
Baby Ghost: Tawny with flecks of fiery colors traveling throughout.
Baby: Fuzzy, sort of like baby fur. No fangs yet. Claws still soft and more like pointy fingernails. Hair kind of wild and mane-like, but soft and not very long yet. Not past her neck. Has very few soft scales along her shoulderblades. Ears are longer than normal and a bit fluffy. Tiny horn-nubs on her head probably can't be seen because of her hair.
Will probably be dressed badly, due to Sam's lack of knowledge about babies. Possibly in a tiny pair of grubby overall shorts.
Will attempt to scratch and bite, but can't do much damage yet. Can't breath fire, but sometimes produces smoke when she hiccups.
Toddler: Fangs are longer now. Claws thicken and lengthen. Her hair is much thicker now, and longer, down to her upper back. Her fur has thinned in most places, but is slightly longer along the sides of her face, down her lower arms, and around her feet. The snake scales are thicker and spread down her back and a little bit across her upper arms. Ears round out a little and are more noticeably large. Horns are slightly longer now but still probably not very visible, again, because of her wild hair.
Has started to dress herself, much to everyone's chagrin. Will be incredibly grubby and mismatched. Possibly heavily patched overalls, mismatched socks, some random plastic jewelry. Might have tried to put a few small uneven pigtails in her hair.
Still prone to biting and scratching when angered, and now does more damage. Still can't breathe fire, but can produce smoke at will.
Kid: Canines are very developed now, to the point where they almost show when her mouth is closed. Claws are also less like fingernails, sharper and thicker. Her hair is WILD, down to her mid back and much more mane-like, probably tangled. Her scales have extended down her upper arms a bit more, and thickened. Ears very noticeable. Horns now poke out of her hair, but aren't very long yet.
She has slightly more dress sense now, but not much. Probably wears scruffy jeans and outsized, stained t-shirts. Will most likely go barefoot a lot now, as the bottoms of her feet have developed thickish "pads".
Still bites and scratches. Can produce a small flame now, but it is very difficult and only lasts a few seconds.
Teen: Fangs fully developed. The tips stick out just under her upper lip when she smiles. Claws also lengthen and sharpen, but are not retractable yet. Her hair is wilder than ever, though she has made some effort to trim it or possibly style it. It might have a few clips in it, or be drawn back into a messy ponytail. Her scales now go all along her entire back down to her tailbone. She'll have pierced her ears several times. Her horns are now quite noticeable, and are beginning to curl backwards like goat horns.
Will be dressed rebelliously. Probably in ripped jeans, a large leather belt, and a t-shirt with a skull and crossbones on it. She'll start wearing more jewelry at this stage, but probably not a ton. Maybe an old dog collar and some arm cuffs/chains. She might have some rings or jewelry dangling from her horns. Still goes barefoot.
Watch out for those teeth and claws! Also, can breathe fire now, but not a huge flame. Can sustain the flame for up to 30 seconds.
Youth: Claws are retractable now, but it's painful for her to retract them. She'll either have given up trying to tame her hair or clipped it shorter to make it easier, not sure which yet. Might have taken out a couple of ear piercings, but will still have 2 in each ear. Her horns are quite long now, curled back and sharp.
Will be dressed slightly less rebelliously now, probably still scruffy though. Still ripped jeans and t-shirts, but now less out of rebellion and more out of laziness. Still goes barefoot, but will wear shoes if it's absolutely necessary. Doesn't wear the collar or chains anymore, but wears a thick leather watch and a few odd bracelets.
Fangs can now produce poison, but it's not very toxic. She can breathe bigger flames now, and sustain them for almost 45 seconds if need be, though she sometimes runs out of breath.
Adult: Can retract her claws now with no trouble at all. Horns have grown in completely, and are no quite long and sharp. Her hair has been tamed... slightly.
Less of a lazy dresser now, but I'm not sure how yet. Will probably always have a slight bit of scruffiness.
Fangs now contain a very potent poison. Retractable claws are VERY sharp and thick, and her firebreathing is quite strong and can be sustained as long as she needs it to be. She doesn't run out of "breath" anymore, either.

About the Chimera/Tyler's past life
History says that the Chimera was a horrible, fire-breathing beast spawned by Echidna, and that sighting her was a sign of imminent death and destruction. They say that the hero Bellerophon slew the beast on his noble steed, Pegasus, at the command of King Iobates of Lycia. Bellerophon held a stick of lead above the beast's head, and when she opened her jaws to spew fire at him, the lead melted and plugged up her throat, killing her and preventing her from terrorizing any more innocent people.
Needless to say, the Chimera herself sees history rather differently.
The Chimera's Story...
"I come from a long line of monsters. Well, a line, anyway. They say that my mother and father were the first monsters ever created. Echidna, my mother, had the face and torso of a beautiful nymph, and the body of a snake with two tails. She and my father, Typhus, bore several beautifully monstrous children, among them Cerberus, the Nemean Lion, the Sphinx, and myself.
We were powerful beings, we ate the flesh of heroes who ventured too near our underground den and drank from the streams of Hades.
Heroes! They are honored as brave, innocent men who saved the world from our destruction and rule. The songs that are sung about them say nothing of their greed and fear of us, the monsters, the maligned beasts of the lower world. Whenever one of my family ventured aboveground we were shunned or attacked. They called us evil, shot us with arrows, and drove us back to our lair.
But I longed to see the sky. I found a tunnel that led from the underground den of my mother up to the rocky volcanoes of Lycia. Here I thought I would be safe from the so called heroes, safe in the sulfurous smoke and treacherous cliffs. I was wrong.
One day, flying over a nearby stream at the foot of my mountain, I spotted several humans filling buckets of water. Hoping that perhaps they would not feel threatened by me, I landed several feet away and stooped to take a drink. They began to scream. The noise stung my ears, and I threw back my head and roared. Just then I felt a sharp pain in my side. A man was standing on the other side of the stream, shooting arrows at me! I opened my jaws and sent a spout of flame towards him, leaping back into the sky as I did and frantically heading back to my volcanic den.
I strayed little out of the mountain after that, afraid that the humans would come after me. A month or two passed, and I grew restless again.
I began to pick my way carefully down the side of the cliff. It was nighttime, and I was not looking at the sky. Perhaps if I was, I would have seen the hero on his great white horse, swooping down at me from above. Panicking, I threw back my head to shoot a burst of fire at him. The last thing I remember was a sharp pain in my throat, a burning sensation, and darkness."
