Ssraxx



Ssraxx (Sir-rax), the Wrthing Mass is a Scaleborn pure-blood also known as the Cobra King. He is the de-facto leader and religious head of all the Scaleborn.

Personality
Ssraxx is an intelligent, scheming individual who always makes sure he is one step ahead of his opponents. His rise to power was filled with clever manipulation, political ruses and of course violent assassinations. He is a sadistic killer who delights in the suffering of others, often capturing victims alive so he may tortore or experiment on them.

History
No one would believe it, but Ssrax was once not always a pure-blood, indeed, at birth he showed little of the physical serpentine qualities which the Scaleborn so highly regard. In fact as a child, he was almost offered as a sacrifice to Lesherac when one of the priestesses said that offering him would be an insult to their god. Not even being allowed to die for their god, Ssraxx spent his life as a servant, tending to the needs of the other Scaleborn and doing menial chores. He learned quickly however, he watched alchemist brew their potions, practiced swordplay when no one was looking and arranged for the deaths of anyone he thought will get in his way. His greatest achievement or mistake however, is when he tried to brew a concoction that would turn him into a pure-blood. The potion did its job, maybe abit too well. The transformation was intense, pain wrecked his body for hours on end as he was at the mutations mercy, whent he finally recovered, he had become more than just a pure-blood scaleborn, but the living vessel of hundreds of snakes, slithering and squirming within his own body. He named it the Writhing Mass.

Abilities and Equipment
Ssraxx is a skilled alchemist and an avid researcher, a venerable scientist of his time. When he is not developing new serums and poultices, he indulges into his favourite past time, live experimentation or some would say torture.

Combatwise, Ssraxx is a deadly swordsman, using the stealth and speed of his kind to great advantage in conjuction with his spitting venom glands. He does not like direct confrontation however, often relying on treachery and subterfuge. When sorely pressed, he reveals his true form, a mass of venomous snakes conjoined and forming a macabre humanoid body. The snakes all have minds of their own directed by Ssraxx's will, they are highly flexible and can streach to increadible lengths, increasing his lethal range.

Role in the RP
He is currently leading his scaleborn in a guerilla campaign against Prethagmi, the Sand Eater.
