Hello, dear readers. I am but another partical of sand among the multitudes that are in here questing as well. This quest is focused upon obtaining a creature from Lab 305. I have a full fledged concept and another kicking around somewhere. Both will be writ here: Hopefully I will get one or the other. Either is fine as of right now. I have such trouble deciding upon things! I am so silly. I have settled on a concept. sweatdrop It is certainly much easier to have only one to set upon.
So here we are, dearies:
Intro and welcome; table of contents.
In the following posts you will find in order:
My Gaian Profile (NOT my fursona, which is different.)
Concept 1 - Wolfen Bard and soul information
Concept 2 - Serpentine Alchemist and soul information
Personal Thanks.
Emptiness.

Concept 2 Information - *UPDATED* 6/28/07Name: Sahn'fwi Guardian: Revanica Reeves Gender: Hermaphrodite (true, simultaneously hermaphrodite) Fel Essence: Animated Mushroom Soul: Iridenscent Naga Hair color: Mushroom influenced. Hair style: Mushroom influenced, long and mane-like (horse that is, not lion-like) Eye color: Honey touched brown Skin color: Damp, earthy brown. Markings on skin: Iridescent, almost feathery patches of scales in certain areas. Possibly of different colors. (Not necessarily rainbow-rific if deciding.) Clothing style: Flimsy, gauzy, varying transparencies robes / vestment and tresses vaguely reminded of an ancient dress. (Perhaps Mayan, Aztec or Egyptian influence, anything BC really...) Wings: Dungeons and Dragons-esque (As I've never found otherwise) Gold dragon wings. They remind you of some kind of butterfly/stingray type of wing. Of course, if the artist has difficulty: by all means take it out. I don’t want to make it difficult or ungainly. Horns: Artist's discretion Ears: Artist's discretion Accessories: Adding a utility belt of hard leather and a satchel may help, and gloves of some kind, either matching the dress or more utilitarian in nature. Artist's discretion on that note. Personality: Chattery, almost... giggly, but when young: naive to want to be something more than possible. (Hating the fact of having no legs, worrying the fact of having wings/odd or out of place appendages not normal to human beings or his caretaker.) Slight Peter Pan complex, enjoys working with his hands yet not overly strong. Loves the earth, plants and when older would love to run an apothecary/potion shop. (Despite that being quite outdated...) He is certainly attracted to mind affecting things: bright, flashing lights and etc. Possibly getting him/herself into drugs later in life. Anything else: Mushroom traits any and everywhere if possible so that it looks 'natural or earthy'. Although that in itself... Heh... Anyway. Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Your Raevan stats will be based on the personality description, fel essence and soul that you choose. Naga Information: (After searching, I have figured that the exact species of Naga - based on Dungeons and Dragons - is an Iridescent Naga ) All nagas have long, snakelike bodies covered with glistening scales, and more or less human faces. They range in length from 10 to 20 feet and weigh from 200 to 500 pounds. The eyes of a naga are bright and intelligent, burning with an almost hypnotic inner light. Rare, believed to be extinct or mythical one of the only 'good' nagas, or namely, a naga that will entertain the thoughts of speaking with her food before eating it. Rumored to spit venom. Image: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/sk_gallery/82344.jpgDungeons and Dragons Stat block: Quote: Size/Type: Large Aberration Hit Dice: 9d8+27 (67) Initiative: +2 Speed: 40 ft. (8 squares) Armor Class: 14 (-1 size, +2 Dex, +3 natural), touch 11, flat-footed 12 Base Attack/Grapple: +6/+12 Attack: Bite +12 melee (2d6+7 plus poison) or Sting +7 melee (2d4+2 plus poison) Full Attack: Bite +2 melee (2d4+1 plus poison) Sting +7 melee (2d4+2 plus poison) Space/Reach: 10 ft./5 ft.

Sunlight reflects from the bright scales of this snakelike creature, splintering into a scintillating array of colors. Its humanlike head is crowned with feathers in several brilliant hues. CombatIridescent nagas usually warn off intruders before attacking. If the warning is ignored, they Sway to hypnotize and suggest the creature to do something else. Or, if that fails, will retreat to a higher ground and sling spells towards foe. Poison (Ex)Injury, Fortitude DC 17 or lapse into a deep sleep for 2d4 minutes. The save DC is Constitution-based. Hypnotic Sway (Ex)By swaying in place, an iridescent naga can produce an affect like that of the hypnotism spell that affects every creature within 30 feet (Will DC 17 negates). The save DC is Charisma-based. SpellsGuardian nagas cast spells as 7th-level sorcerers. Typical Spells Known (6/7/7/5; save DC 13 + spell level)0— daze, detect magic, light, mage hand, open/close, read magic; 1st— color spray, comprehend languages, expeditious retreat, magic missile, shield; 2nd— eagle's splendor, mirror image, scorching ray; 3rd— fly, lightning bolt; Iron Mind (Su)Iridenscent nagas are immune to mind-influencing effects. Fel Essence Information: Animated Mushroom - What is that soft giggling sound? Did someone tell a funny joke? Its coming from a larger than normal wiggling spotted toadstool! Well... isn't that odd? Mushrooms don't have vocal chords, and although this thing doesn't have legs it certainly can cross the ground quick enough when threatened. Mushrooms only grow from rotting wood and mulch, and yet this phenomenon of a fungus is all by its lonesome, the white-spotted red cap vibrant against the verdant green grass, as if it were merely content to be among the living plants instead of doing the natural duty it was evolved to do by mother nature: help rot and get rid of the dead and decaying.

Hair color: Artist's discretion
Hair style: Long - as in trailing along the floor long, when not pulled up, slightly wavy.
Eye color: Blue, bright
Skin color: Very pale
Markings on skin: Perhaps a tattoo on the back? Egyptian-tribal? (However THAT works out... no finite ideas firmly placed...)
Clothing style: Decorative but skimpy, Egyptian-esqe
Wings: Would like some, but probably wouldn't fit, so unneeded.
Horns: None needed.
Ears: Furry? Elvish, or Wolf ears.
Accesories: Artist's discretion, but borderline gaudy.
Personality: Key words contain: Passionate, Bardic, Sage. Loves music, and is well versed in lore that he studies. An avid collector of many things, but namely things of artistic nature, jewels and expensive/well made crafts. Articulate, and has quite the throbbing voice when singing an accompaniment with one of his various instruments. When he gets his legs, he will certainly love to learn how to dance.
Alignment: Neutral, or Neutral Good (perhaps borderline Chaos)
Your Raevan stats will be based on the personality description, fel essence and soul that you choose.
About the Soul:
The Rocky Mountain wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis) is also sometimes called the Alaskan or Mackenzie Valley wolf. This subspecies inhabits parts of the western United States, much of western Canada, and Alaska, including Unimak Island in the Aleutians, and is the subspecies which was reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park (YNP) and central Idaho.
Legal shooting and trapping of wolves occurs throughout Alaska. Over the past decade 11 to 20 percent of Alaska's wolf population has been harvested each year. Studies indicate that wolves could sustain an annual harvest of 30 to 40 percent without decreasing the population. The wolf population in Alaska is estimated at 7,500-11,000 wolves. The population in the northern Rocky Mountains (Greater Yellowstone Area, NW Montana and Idaho) is estimated to be around 800 and increasing.
The Rocky Mountain wolf has a coat of black, white, gray, tan, and even blue-ish. Gray or black wolves are the most common. Wolves typically stand about 30 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 85 and 115 pounds, although they can weigh as much as 145 pounds.
Pack sizes are generally 6-12 wolves, with some packs as large as 20-30 with one in YNP documented at 37. Territory size in Alaska averages 600 square miles. Wolf packs in YNP average 9.2 wolves with an average territory of 348 square mile, while wolf packs in Idaho average 11.1 and 364 square mile territories.
The prey base of the Rocky Mountain wolf is moose, bison, elk, caribou, Dall sheep, Sitka black-tailed deer, mountain goats, beaver, salmon, vole, lemmings, ground squirrels and snowshoe hare.

I am keeping this here because, it is history that keeps track of how this quest evolves. Not only that, but also I'm moving this below my Serpent's Concept.

Hey there! whee
I'd love to see more info in every category, which I'm sure is coming as you develop. Looking forward to reading more!
I prefer the second concept to the first, personally. My Raevan, Melisande, is a muse with the essence of divine song...so maybe focus more on the musical and dance aspects if you choose to develop the first further?
The second concept is very fun, I can see it already! whee Someone like that might find the lab itself very interesting, as well...
Good luck! heart

I have fixed my little slip of the words. sweatdrop And finally decided upon which Concept I will really go for. I love reptiles. So having something serpintine is a really nice thing. I also like alchemy and apothicaries (however I'm sure I've botched the spelling. )

Awesome! I've also been thinking of some unique ideas for the essence, feel free to use/play around with any of them if you're so inclined! I thought Liquid Diamonds would be neat, and might account for some of the iridescence/mystical properties! Another idea that is a bit darker would be Voodoo Mojo...I have no idea what that is, really, but it sounds cool and helps conjure some rather vivid imagery.
I'll post more if I think of them! whee

Fun to brainstorm. whee I'm sure you caught this, but the essence usually has some kind of impossibility associated with it...either something that just can't be bottled, or something with an unusual behavior/attribute that shouldn't occur. Have fun with your ideas!
Edit: There's usually something mystical about them as well...reading the existing essences and journals might help you make your choice! Also, most flatsales have the fel essence already decided, so make sure your concept is flexible, since flatsales are much more obtainable than autobuys. <3

Ah, something along those lines? I might look up the periodic table for ideas, and/or ask my NASA-smart boyfriend on alchemical compounds and astro things. blaugh
Anywho! Horray. I will find the perfect fel essence.

So it's down to about two different essences. Personally I'm leaning towards the Beholder's Eye, even though Animated Barium would be cool with the alchemy part of the concept since it is most commonly used in making Fireworks! Then again a Beholder's Eye can make fireworks too... just of the "targeting-in-your-face-death" kind...
