Psychological Examination (In Detail): All Blood Lizards are ruthless creatures. Originating in the deserts of Fallien from Pre-Vadhya, the harsh environment often forges dangerous creatures where once normal entities existed. Long ago a peaceful tribe of nomads, the Lizard Folk changed during the time of the fall of Fallien. The Goddess Mother cursed all of Fallien when she spit her famine and her weapons out upon the world. What existed originally became a mockery of its former self and was twisted into the hybrid warrior currently existed. Blood Lizards are a nomadic tribe of barbarians that attack invaders of the desert without remorse or hesitation. They are a violent group of people that live off the blood of others. Scavenging the desert they take whatever they find of value from their victims and discard the rest. Traditionally, Blood Lizards prefer to rely on their own natural hides shunning the use of armor as weak. Culturally, Blood Lizards thrive on the hunt and have periodic rituals designed to allow for the growth of young Blood Lizards into adults. Male and female alike participate in these violent rituals.

Lexxum Vordic was born into this savage society in present day Althanas. Post-Vadhya. The Suravani's deformation of the Lizard Folk that existed before and the Lizard Folk that existed now twisted their psyches to make them more potent killing machines. Becoming weapons for the Althanas-Mother, each Blood Lizard is a lethal killing machine. Lexxum is no different as a specimen. He participated in raiding parties as soon as he learned to walk showing potent leadership skills. He had a deep love of the hunt and lived for tactical warfare. Lexxum exceedingly became a brilliant and cunning tactical strategies leading attack parties to many victories on the sands. When he became a man he started to show other interesting traits that made Lexxum an ideal raiding party leader. The Elders noticed that Lexxum had an unusually strong Faith in the ways of his people and was equally dangerous on the battlefield He often risked life and limb to ensure the safety of his companions tolerating no betrayal of the nomadic tribes. His desires for a successful hunt lead him to become one of the most brilliant tactical warriors seen yet from the fields of Fallien. Truly a nightmare born of the sand and heat.


Appearance: A typical member of the Blood Lizard race, the Berserker has passed his initiation trials and become a man of his people. He is well muscled and well scaled. Traditionally, Blood Lizards do not wear any kind of Armor except for the hides and scales of fallen beasts. All Blood Lizards had bright red flesh tone and scale tone. They are commonly seen having an extremely bony cranium. The top of the skull is especially well armored with natural bone as is the area around sensitive eye sockets. Bones protrude that surround the eyes. Each of the Blood Lizards has a long tail that often exceeds two feet in length for the young. Blood Lizards have powerfully formed spinal columns and can stand up right just as easily as they can get down on all fours. Their flesh is covered by a thick armor of bony scales the evolves gradually over times. Commonly, Blood Lizards have exotic black or purple colored markings and Lexxum is no different. He has mysterious stripes covering most of his person. All Blood Lizards tend to look very similar but distinctions exist between male and female. Women are oft shorter than the men are just as physically powerful. Weak Lizard folk are often exiled into the deserts of Fallien. Fin-like bony protrusions extend from the spinal columns of adult Blood Lizards.

History:

Born to a pairing of typical Blood Lizards in a typical Blood Lizard pack, Lexxum prepared to face his rites of passage. Sent out to the desert with a pack of fellow Lizard Kin to aide him. There five heads in all and their mission was to track down a young Desert Drake that was slaying many of the Monsters and creatures that the Lizard Folk fed upon. With the trial complete, Lexxum could claim his passage into adult hood! With these thoughts in his head as he guided his companions through the desert, Lexxum naturally took the position of the Alpha Male. Without questioning his superiority, the others flanked around him and followed suit taking various positions within the party. They made their way through the hot, unforgiving sands waging a war for supremacy against the other predators of the dune sea. Lexxum tracked the scents in the wind remember what the Elders taught him about the ways of their people. His senses allowed him to carefully detect the strong scent of the predator they now hunted. Since the creature fed from their live stock, it was now a matter of life and death.

After several days and nights of traveling across the sands, the warriors finally made their way towards a large outcropping of corks in dunes. This area was unfamiliar to them. Lexxum thought quickly and knelt down making a map of symbols and instructions in the sands. The other warriors read his instructions quickly and understood their meaning. He quickly wiped the desert floor of his writing so that the mystery was gone forever. Lexxum saw that one of the particularly large corks had a cave entrance into it and decided that was his target. A powerful scent emanated from the cave network and the warrior guided his people into the cavern in search of the Drake. They intended to slay the Drake as quickly as possible, little knowing that Suravani had other plans for the group of brave warriors. They entered the caverns in single file, but some came in climbing across the ceiling, while others walked on all floors, crawling. Soon the darkness of the caverns engulfed them and they were on their way to the hunt. ((Continued in either a Solo Quest or a public Quest))



Skills:

Grades from 1 (Beginner) to 10 (Grand Master)

Bone-Hide ((Passive)) A thick hide of bone-armor surrounds the flesh of the Blood Lizards at all time. This thick hide is equivalent to Iron Armor. The Blood Lizards are not allowed to wear any sort of Armor except for what they can salvage and forge for themselves from the hides of fallen monsters. The Bone Hide is natural and eventually will grow in strength. The bony knobs around the hands and feet of each Blood Lizard can be used as basic blunt weapons, though these are considered to be brass or copper in strength for the time being. (1)

Blood Rage ((Ability requires Activation)) At the sacrifice of some blood to Sarvani, each Blood Lizard is capable of becoming stronger and faster. This effect is temporary however, lasting one full minute. Lexxum can only call upon this ability twice in one day. Lexxum becomes two times stronger and faster than an average human. He can use that power to make his basic attacks much stronger. Once the ability passes, Lexxum is left weak and dazed due to the blood loss which is why this is mostly used to finish victims off quickly. (1)

Excellent Fighter ((Passive Skill)) Trained in the desert, Lexxum is an extremely skilled closed ranged Fighter. He knows how to use his hands and feet well in that combat range but is terrible with any sort of ranged combat at this point. Blood Lizards primarily fight with using their body as a weapon. Note Lexxum is currently an AVERAGE close-range Fighter when compared to other level 0's and 1's of his exact same bracket. (1)

Senses ((Passive Lizard Ability)) An invisible sphere around Lexxum, for up to five feet in any direction, the warrior can use his senses with SOME degree of accuracy. He can find things hidden in the sand that are small. (1)

Fallien Extremes ((Passive Support Skill)) He is accustomed to the extreme temperatures of Fallien.

Skilled Wall Crawlers/Climbers ((Passive Lizard Trait)) A trait of his people, Lexxum can skillfully climb walls and stick to them using a secreted substances from his hands and feet. He can climb most surfaces with some ease this is aided with his rope and hook.

Claws (Main Weapon) Retractable claws extend from each of his digits, hand and foot. Right now he can extend his claws to about two inches at will. He uses these as his primary weapon. The claws are equivalent to Iron in nature and grow back over time if they are broken.

Teeth (Sub Weapon) Like a shark, Lexxum has several rows of sharp teeth he uses to tear meat away from fallen victims. His teeth are currently as sharp as Iron.

Languages: Lizard Folk/Common Speak

Equipment:

1 Necklace of Bones. ((Just a useless trinket of his people. More of a symbol of Faith than anything else. Not Sellable))

1 Belt of Pouches and small sacks. ((For carrying small supplies like positions and weapons taken from victims))

1 Basic Travel Back. ((For carrying larger stuff))

1 Full length rope with an iron claw at the tip for climbing steep surfaces of mountains and hills. Also useful for spelunking. ((Not suitable for combat))

Weaknesses:

Fatal Lightning Magic-For whatever reason, Lightning Magic is extremely deadly to the Blood Lizards upon impact.

Fatal Ice Magic-The same as Lightning Magic, Ice Magic is extremely dangerous to the Blood Lizards.

Yeah that's fine, I'll do the edits right now.

@Karuka--edits are up, I hope that's okay? Is there anything else I need to do?

Nah, looks okay. Just be careful with the wall climbing - no class or oil-slick stuff yet.

Approved.
