Name: Delan Shessal
Gender: Male
Race: Lamia. Half human, half serpentine people. From the waist up, they resemble humans, though with a few key differences. The eyes are vertical slits like a snakes, and they have venomous fangs in their mouth. From the waist down, they possess a long, snake like tail. Lamia are partially cold blooded, and will go into torpor if they get too cold.
Class: Alchemist. Alchemists are skilled with utilizing the chemical and magical properties found in plants, minerals, and liquids, by means of mixing them together into potent potions or poisons. In fight, they either use potions to increase their or their allies abilities, use poisoned weapons, or sling vials of volatile concoctions at their foes.
Description: Delan 'stands' about five foot and six inches on average, though he can rise above it or sink below it given how he perches on his tail. His upper body has a thin build, and is fair skinned. His eyes are green, and his hair is black, and worn long pulled back in a ponytail. His tail is approximately three times as long as he is tall, being about sixteen feet in length. It bears dark green scales, with a lighter underbelly. There is a diamond pattern that goes down his tail, made from darker scales, almost black in color.
Delan typically wears a well made, long sleeved leather tunic, extending down below the junction of scale and skin. It is belted at the waist with a black leather belt, bearing a silver buckle. The tunic bears lots of pockets and pouches, which Delan keeps stocked with various herbs, plants, seeds, potions, and vials. Additionally, Delan has a pair of sturdy leather gloves, and a set of goggles for when he works with anything that might be poisonous or explosive.
Bio: Delan was the court alchemist in a sprawling kingdom. It was not a position of his choosing, much preferring to be out and about exploring for new reagents and experimenting with them. But he had little say in the matter, as the kingdom had conquered his lamia tribe, and took him away when he discovered his skill. He was little more than a fancy slave, a situation that did not sit well with him. Worse, the king was fond of using him as a poisoner rather than an alchemist.
His chance to escape came, though, when he discovered a fresh batch of reagents contained the rare Riftbane plant. While Riftbane made an adequate poison, it was a little known fact that it could create short lived, unstable portals when mixed with the right ingredients, and heated over a flame. Jumping through a portal to the unknown was dangerous, but Delan felt he'd rather be anywhere rather than here. Grabbing an alchemy kit, he created one such portal and leapt through before it collapsed.
