 Name: Tas'prin Varanus Gender: Male Age: roughly 140 years Species: Half-dragon (Brass) Hair Color: He has no hair Eye color: Brown Skin color: Brass scales Occupation: History professor Personality: Tas is... a goofball. He acts like a child. Or perhaps a puppy. He's playful and almost always getting into trouble for chewing his wife's shoes up. He can't help it. He just loves shoes. Tas has a serious side, though he doesn't like having to be serious. Many students take his class because he makes it fun. Or as fun as history can be. Appearance: Tas is tall, towering six and a half feet in height. Due to his dragon heritage, he has scales on his hands, running along the upper side of his arm to his shoulder and down his back and legs to his feet. He has a tail and his wings are like that of a brass dragon, which make it hard for him to wear clothing. He usually just wears a loincloth if he can get away with just that, though winters are not fun. Likes: Chewing on shoes, Talking, Fire Dislikes: Being told to shut up, Cold, Wet

 Name: Olivia Varanus Gender: Female Age: 98 Species: Vampire Hair Color: Blond Eye color: Reddish brown Skin color: Ruddy with a hint of purple Occupation: Unemployed Personality: Olivia can be very jealous and has often worried about Tas teaching such young women. But he loves the talking aspect much more than anything else, so who is she to stop him? She is always reminding him to be careful about the blinds in the bedroom, where she sleeps during the day. And she seems to be always scolding him for chewing on her shoes. Appearance: Short and plump, Olivia is not your standard vampire type. At least, not what's considered to be vampire anymore. Her complexion is a ruddy color, leaning towards a hue of purple. Her hair is blond and left long. Likes: Nighttime, Blood Dislikes: Normal food (she gains no nourishment from it). Tas destroying her shoes. Tas flirting with other women (he claims that it's not flirting but just talking).

Scientific name: Phascolarctos cinereusp ("pouched bear" "ash gray")
Physical description: The koala is a small bear-like, tree-dwelling, herbivorous marsupial which averages about 9kg (20lb) in weight. Its fur is thick and usually ash gray with a tinge of brown in places. The Koala is well suited to life in the trees. The koala has an excellent sense of balance and its body is lean and muscular and its quite long, strong limbs support its weight when climbing. The arms and legs are nearly equal in length and the koala's climbing strength comes from the thigh muscle joining the shin much lower than in other animals. Its paws are especially adapted for gripping and climbing with rough pads on the palms and soles helping it to grip tree trunks and branches. Both front and hind paws have long sharp claws and each paw has five digits. On the front paw, two fingers are opposed to the other three, rather like a human thumb, so they are able to be moved in opposition to the fingers. This allows the koala to grip more securely. On the hind paw, there is no claw on the big toe, and the second and third toes are fused together to form a 'grooming claw'.
Koalas have a thick woolly fur which protects them from both high and low temperatures. It also acts like a 'raincoat' to repel moisture when it rains. The fur varies in color from light gray to brown, with patches of white on the chest and neck, inside arms and legs and inside the ears. Mature males are recognizable by the brown 'scent gland' in the center of their white chest. The fur on the koala's bottom is densely packed to provide a 'cushion' for the hard branches it sits on, and has a 'speckled' appearance which makes koalas hard to spot from the ground.
The Koala's nose is one of its most important features, and it has a very highly developed sense of smell. This is necessary to differentiate between types of gum leaves and to detect whether the leaves are poisonous or not.
Behavior: Koalas are mostly nocturnal animals and they are most active during the night and at dawn and dusk. This is because in the cooler hours they are less likely to lose precious moisture and energy than they would during the hotter daylight hours. An average of eighteen to twenty hours each day are spent resting and sleeping, and the remainder for feeding, moving around, grooming and social interaction.
Distribution: Parts of southeastern and eastern Australia
Habitat: 'Habitat' refers to the types of bushland that koalas like to live in. They are found in a range of habitats, from coastal islands and tall eucalyptus forests to low woodlands inland. Koalas today are found in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia .
Koalas live in societies, just like humans, so they need to be able to come into contact with other koalas. It is because of this they need to have areas of suitable eucalyptus forest which are large enough to support a healthy koala population and to allow for expansion by maturing young koalas. Koalas are highly territorial and in stable breeding groups, individual members of koala society maintain their own "home range" areas.
Food: The leaves of eucalyptus trees.
Predators: Dogs, foxes and dingoes. Also Goannas, Eagles, and Owls can capture young koalas.
Interesting facts:
- The koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning "no drink" because it receives over 90% of its hydration from the Eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only drinks when ill or times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves. ie during droughts etc.
- The Koala's digestive system is especially adapted to detoxify the poisonous chemicals in the leaves. The toxins are thought to be produced by the gum trees as a protection against leaf-eating animals like insects.
- They walk with an awkward-looking gait and can also run. Koalas have sometimes been observed swimming, but this is not a regular occurrence.
- The Koala cools itself by licking its arms and stretching out as it rests in the trees (koalas have no sweat glands).
- Koalas look soft but their fur actually feels like the wool on a sheep.
- Koalas have "backwards facing" pouches that open towards the back of the animal instead of the head like most other marsupials.
