Nanza
04-24-06, 05:55 PM
((had 110 EXP and 227 gold))
Name: Nanza Teramudo
Age: 18
Height/weight: 5'9" 119 lbs
Race: Vanda
Appearance: Nanza has a dark demeanor, and usually slinks around. He is always wearing a black hooded cloak with the hood drawn when around humans, to avoid causing a commotion. He is covered with black scales and has a rather muscular build to him while remaining limber. His eyes are slits in the front of his head, almost on the side, and they are a swirl of green and grey colors. His elongated face resembles that of a snake, with the forked tongue, fangs and heat sensing pits. He also has a muscular tail that is about 4 feet long and is semi-prehensile.
Personality: Nanza is a careful person, who likes to calculate and plan things out. He schemes and plots, and has a sharp wit and sarcasm to go around. He is merciless in battle, and cold in matters of betrayal. He won’t hesitate to stab you in the back if he suspects you of foul play or lying to him, because he is the only one allowed to do that.
History: The Vanda consider themselves to be the elite race. They are supposedly stronger, faster, and more cunning than all the other races. Then why, you may ask, have I never heard of the Vanda? They are too good to mingle with petty humans, or any of the other lesser races. The Vanda have isolated themselves to the isle of Jigarui, off of a peninsula in Alerar. They maintained limited contact with the drow that live there, but mostly for economic reasons and supply routes. And there, on Jigarui, the Vanda live and train and, in most cases die.
Then the Shadowbringers came along. A new era for the Vanda, they said, a new purpose. These shadowbringers claimed that their role in life was to prove that the Vanda were indeed superior to all of the other races, and exert some force to close a firm grip on all of the world. Started by Nerailu Ournalata, the Shadowbringers developed a code of training and a code of conduct that all Vanda should follow.
It was by chance that Nanza Teremudo was enrolled in the Shadowbringer school of domination training. His family was of a lower class, his mother being a farmer and his father a worker in the police force. He was chosen as part of an extensive program to bring all Vanda youth into the Shadowbringer corps, so he was handpicked for his family credibility, cold mentality and high demeanor.
One day two Vanda men, dressed in the hooded cloaks of the Shadowbringers, came to the front door of Nanza Teremudo’s house and knocked three times.
“Open up. Shadowbringers on duty for Brhyssal, recruitment mission.”
Mrs. Teremudo answered the door. “Gentlemen, my son is not Shadowbringer material. I forbid it.”
“Madam, we are on orders from the Thryllori, we cannot return emptyhanded.”
“My son stays with me.”
That day, from the top of the stairs of his childhood home, Nanza witnessed the carrying out of the first rule of the Shadow code. Orders are to be carried out, whatever the cost, whatever the obstruction.
The two men that came to Nanza’s house that day were assigned to him as trainers. They never told him their clan names, maybe because for some families, to become a bringer of darkness was to renounce those who love you. Ralra and Viruk, for those were the names of his mentors, led Nanza through the vigorous 7 year training program of the Shadowbringers, teaching the boy to fight with the claws, short swords, and polearm. He was assigned a pixie partner to be his life companion, and his was named Atimi. Nanza was instructed on the use of his tail in battle, the art of moving silently and blending in, hunting and trapping, laying an ambush, and disarming booby traps set for him. Nanza was tought to use the Vanda’s inherent needle spitting ability too, but the warrior class, to which both of his instructors belonged, did not use this skill much. Nanza chose to walk the path of the warrior, but chose to learn the ways of the assassin also. Atimi
The time had come for Nanza’s final test. He was ready to go out into the world and prove himself to be a superior being, a true shadowbringer. The boat for the shore was all loaded up, and the ship set sail for the mainland. Upon arriving there, it dropped off Nanza with his gear and said, “Contact the Thryllori within three years with information on this man. All the things you need to know are written in a letter in your cloak pocket. You know the penalty for failure.” The ship set sail, leaving the Vanda youth with his pixie to complete his mission or pay the consequences.
Weapons:
Claws: A pair of steel combat claws fitted for each hand. Each claw weapon has 4 one foot steel blades attatched, and Nanza has customized his so he can remove single blades to alter the cut given. A removed blade can be used as a dagger, throwing knife or lock pick.
Sword: 3 feet long and made of steel, with a straight blade on the right side and a hole in the center of the blade that goes almost its whole length. On the left side, it has 20 one inch long hooks protruding from the blade, the sort that rip flesh and catch blades. The guard is a straight bar, and the handle is 4 inches long made of leather. In place of a pommel, it has a small two inch spike? The whole thing is dyed black except the handle and guard, which are red, and the hooks, which are bleached white.

Throwing Forks x2: Each fork has a 4 inch handle that splits with a curve into two different tines. Each end of the little forks, including the handles, have been ground to a very fine point, and there are small barbs coming off of the outside of the tines.

Bolas x2: They have 3" leather handles, 4 arms of flexible steel cable, each 3' in length, and the weights on the end of the arms are about 3/4lb and made of steel.

Armor: Nothing but the scales on his body(strength carapace)
Skills:
Venom Fang- When Nanza bites another person, his poisonous saliva gets into their bloodstream and numbs the part of the body that he bit, making it listless. Nanza hates biting people and will only do it if he has absolutely no other choice. The poison is fairly weak and will dissipate after two posts.
Venom Spike: Nanza has the inherent Vanda ability to spit spikes of bone from his mouth. Right now Nanza can spit his spike 5 feet, and with enough speed to piece only leather armor, due to limited training. The spikes can have different poisonous effects controlled by the thoughts of the spitter when it is shot, but as of now Nanza can only create a fairly weak poison that numbs the area of the body that was hit and makes it go limp. This ability can only be used twice a thread, and the poison takes 2 posts to kick in and 4 to dissipate.
Paralyspike: An addition to his Venom Spike technique, Nanza has now learned a new type of poison for his spikes. He can create a poison that is very potent, and if it gets in the bloodstream it will potentially cause extreme pain to the user, having a debilitating effect, and at the very least cause stiffness and discomfort. This poison takes about 10 seconds to come into effect after entering the bloodstream, and dissipates in 1 minute.
