Gaia name: NemaToad_Cameal

Character Name: Cameal Rose

Codename: (not yet established )

Age: 15

Alignment: Evil

Appearance: Cameal's physical mutation transformed her into human/lizard hybrid, with a long reptilian tail. Her skin is lime-green, hairless, smooth, and cool to touch. Her underbelly scales are yellow-green and smooth in touch as well, while the various patches of scales along her arms, and the ones along her legs are grass green, and feels silky smooth like snake scales.

Powers: Overall, Cameal is like a Chimera of different reptilian species. She has sharp eyesight that can easily track movement, even in the dark. The scales that run from her neck/stomach/tail are like a crocodiles, but is only tough enough to withstand a direct blow from a knife (unless the wielder had super human strength). Her tail is prehensile, having the constricting muscle power of a Boa constrictor, but retains the curled appearance of a Curly-tail lizard. The scales of her tail are similar in shape to a diamondback rattlesnakes, while the top ridge of her tail is lined with iguana-like spines. Her finger and toe nails are similar to that of a monitor lizards, and her palms and feet have villi like a Gecko, so she is able to scale any type of surface. Her tongue is forked like that of many reptile species (like a snake or monitor lizard), which she uses occasionally as a second nose that can tell what direction a scent is coming from. It also has the ability to slowly extend/shoot out to a length of 5ft to catch insects like a Chameleon would. Her most unique power is the Mutant version of a Chameleon's ability to blend in with its surroundings, but in her case- to become Invisible (works like that of a Predator aliens stealth tech), which though focus and concentration, can be used for long periods of time. Lastly, she has regenerative healing, and although it's not even nearly as impressive in speed as a mutant like wolverine, her body can heal somewhat severe/deep wounds within hours, and serious wounds/ injuries (like her tail getting cut off) anywhere from 3-10 days.

Bio: Cameal Rose was born a normal, healthy child to Michael and Victoria Rose who lived in Bayville, New York. But around the age of 4, the child's features began to make slow, subtle changes. Her skin started developing scaly patches on her arms and legs, her eyes began to change hue, and a strange growth began forming above her rear
Doctors told her parents they were minor medical anomalies, and assured them not to worry. They gave her special ointment for her skin, and kept a close eye on her other conditions. But nothing seemed to work, and eventually the small patches of scales started spreading around her body, and began taking on a reptilian appearance. Her irises eventually turned from a warm brown to crimson red, and that growth formed into what looked like the start of a tail. This slow transformation took place over a steady span of 5 1/2 years. During this time, surgery was performed to remove the tail, but every few weeks it grew right back. The Doctors soon feared the worst, and proposed to Mr. and Mrs. Rose about the possibility of their daughter being a mutant. Further tests had confirmed this, and Cameal's parents were both shocked and horrified at the reality of their situation, From that point on, the two parents began growing fearful of what unholy monstrosity their daughter might develop into as she grew older.

The fear inevitably drove them into paranoia, and they came to only one solution, which was to seal the child away forever. The attic was to be converted into a permanent prison for Cameal, installing a steel door in place of the old wooden one, removing the retractable staircase, and reinforcing the only window and every possible escape route. When the preparations were complete, young Cameal was forcibly thrown into that lofty room, along with a dirty pile of blankets, and was sealed in that room with double reinforced padlocks.

On the following evening, after thorough planning, Mr. and Mrs. Rose staged the elaborate fake kidnapping of their daughter, then called the police. In the end, no trace of a body was ever reported or found, no leads on the identities or whereabouts of the kidnappers, so it became a cold case that was left unsolved.

Cameal was able to survive on insects and other small animals that made their way into the attic over time, water being attained from small leaks in the roofing when it rained every so often. But it wasn't until the cold of autumn started to creep in, that Cameal's body began succumbing to the natural urge to hibernate until her environment became more habitable. Of what blankets and other materials she could find, she constructed a nest in a tight corner of the attic, and went into a deep stasis-like hibernation... remaining like that for the next 5 years.

The year of Cameal's 14th birthday, just before summer rolled around, Mr. and Mrs. Rose had finally decided to move out of their old house, and were extremely preoccupied with packing things and ordering around the moving crew. The moving crew were about done with moving furniture from the second floor of the house when they noticed the padlocked door, Mr. and Mrs. Rose were so busy with their arrangements, that the crew took the initiative to open up the attic themselves, knocking off the padlocks. By the time anyone knew what was happening, the guy who had gone up into the attic had caused Cameal to rouse from her sleep, and in a moment of instinctual panic, had fled from the house, causing panic and screaming as she made her escape out into the world.

The lizard-girl was on the streets for about a year, slowly discovering her abilities and using them to hide, steal food, and find shelter from the cold. Eventually she found her way to a public park, where she decided to take up permanent residence.

Extra: Due to her being mostly cold-blooded, Cameal will often sunbathe to regain energy and maintain her body temperature. When exposed to cold for extended periods of time, or too much at once, she'll become lethargic, sluggish, and/or sleepy.

Cameal's education level had never surpassed the 4th grade, so her knowledge and social skills are very limited. However, she's quick at picking up things over time from observation.
