Qal'Nithya

The Monster

• "You don't understand your own feelings, you pathetic fool. You want her, but deep down in the crevices of your own wretched heart you know that beneath that fair facade lies nothing more than a spider that weaves a beautiful web, all too inviting. You know, you absolutely know: She will kill you."

• Just A Note!

  This profile really is just for fun, as I like telling stories. I don't expect anyone to read it all, so please ask questions to cut through the walls of text I have here. Thanks, and enjoy!

• Personality

  A slightly unusual trait for the dragon race, Qal'Nithya is quite reticent; combining that trait with her incessant swearing, she can at first come off as contemptuous and disdainful. Often she can be frustratingly hard to read. Her disposition is calm and her own humor generally cleverly subtle with it, though she thoroughly enjoys being amused and entertained by others. Nothing is done in a smug or arrogant manner, though she is extremely anything when she cares to be. She has a gravitational, yet sickening pull; just being close to her nearly succumbs one to delusional parasitosis. Be that as it may, at times the monster can exude an overwhelming, motherly fog that could cloud one's mind with the desire to curl up in her warm, scaly lap...
  
  No truer confidant could be found if one manages his or her way past "child" and/or "food" status in Qal'Nithya's eyes. That is exactly where everyone starts, as she has lived way, way too long to see anyone as much of anything else. The unmatched protection she shows for her "children" can absolutely be expressed towards close friends.
  
  Qal'Nithya's past has done anything but make her a victim of her desires. The dragon can be very amiable and charismatic. Before she started treading on the border of insanity, she was quite pleasant and likable, and most of the time she still is! Truly, she is a dove!

• The Children

  Qal'Nithya is completely barren, and through a series of events that are explained in her history section, she now walks a line between normalcy and a playground of psychosis, mania, and bipolar afflictions (a sort of back-firing of her rioting, if you will). However, these issues are rarely triggered, as she generally has a tight hold on her emotions.
  
  Nithya "collects" and creates her own brood by capturing victims, buying slaves, or by slowly luring someone close over time and brainwashing/breaking them to yield unfaltering allegiance and love (aided by her rioting). She truly believes they are her children. Now and then a switch is flipped in her brain upon first sight of someone; sometimes it flips if he or she exhibits spectacular qualities, as Nithya believes her children would have been superior in all manners of life. Being handsome or gorgeous simply isn't enough. Nithya craves true originality.
  
  That bond lasts for varying amounts of time, during which her "children" are fiercely protected and doted upon. Unfortunately, experience has shown she eventually gets disgusted by these individuals as her mind fully grasps they are not biologically her's. Some she has kept alive unnaturally for hundreds of years. Others she rejected after a week. A few have become lovers. In the end, it's a side of her that very few people get to see, as not many individuals appeal to her on that level.
  
  She loves being in close contact with these individuals; being near strengthens her emotional connection or hold over them via rioting. Thus, it is not uncommon to see them poised in her lap or holding her hand. Children often become obsessed with her rioting in the way a drug addict cannot be happy without the extreme stimulation their drug of choice gives.
  
  On some level one could say Nithya also likes the chase and challenge of getting someone to sincerely and affectionately refer to her as "Qal," or "Mother." This can create some very interesting situations of her doing her best to put the moves on someone she wants (as a child) who is immune to her advances. Something to note is that this relationship isn't always sexual. In fact, it rarely is.

• Strengths

  Rioting: The complete understanding and manipulation of emotions. Can dramatically minimize or maximize emotions in herself and others. Can affect more than one person at once. Includes but is absolutely not limited to: courage, depression, fear, dismay, hopelessness, hopefulness, happiness, sadness, anger, affection, safety, euphoria, and so on. She has no idea what you're thinking, but she sure as hell knows what you're feeling. Those trained in the detection of such magic can absolutely sense when she is affecting them; otherwise, one would likely never notice her touches or that they're feeling more (or less) of an emotion because she helped them there. This power is exponentially stronger with physical contact, which can lead to absolute soul-crushing heartbreak or blissful euphoria.
  
  Keep in mind that this is absolutely not mind control. For her to have a hold on someone even remotely to that point is only possible in small children (or someone with the brain of one), as they mainly operate on emotion and control over their own emotions is frail. A vast majority of the time rioting is a gentle touch, encouraging or discouraging an existing emotion someone is already experiencing. To simply conjure up blind, murderous rage out of someone is impossible. To make someone completely forget a logical conclusion about someone or something is impossible. To make someone choose steak over chicken is impossible. She can't make an individual suddenly love and adore someone or something. Her work serves only as a catalyst or inhibitor for existing emotions.
  
  Note: She is not necessarily always rioting in a room. She has found unchecked, blanket use of it can unintentionally piss off those who can detect it.
  
  Proficiency in Alchemy: She enjoys using her own body's acid for all sorts of solutions, and has a huge stash of ingredients for all occasions. Mastery in this field has been acquired over many, many years.
  
  Proficiency in Language: The dragon has lived long enough and traveled far enough to acquire fluency in many languages. She thoroughly enjoys a good conversation spiced up with an exotic tongue or two, and feigning ignorance at certain times has gained her a lot of knowledge from those who open their yaps around her.
  
  Acid: Qal'Nithya can spew massive gouts of acid similar to the way other dragons can belch fire; she has ducts within her mouth that erupt an extremely corrosive liquid. Given the chance, it will eat straight through armor and the like.
  
  Acidic Resistance: Housing acid within one's body tends to build up a natural armor to it.
  
  Aquatic Stability: Can breathe underwater.
  
  Physical Strength: She retains a huge amount of her physical strength when in humanoid form. Her sheer size also aids in being able to throw others around.
  
  Speed: Considering she is a dragon, she is leaner rather than bulkier, thus is quicker than one might expect.
  
  Flight: Wings provide an option for her to flee if she finds herself outmatched. Each wing is tipped with claws and are a last-resort option in self-defense.
  
  Tail: Tipped with a few large, needle-like blades.
  
  Teeth and Claws: Disgustingly sharp and ever-present.
  
  Sight and Smell: Superbly accurate.
  
  Scales: Extremely hard in both dragon and humanoid forms, acting as armor.

• Frailties

  Cold: Qal'Nithya generally avoids cooler climates, and being submerged in cold water for long periods of times tends to make her lethargic and unable to spew acid.
  
  Bribery: The dragon loves gold coins, rare artifacts, tomes and uncommon individuals. As much as she believes she has a hold on her greediness, large sums tend to sway her. The attempt of offering her any other type valuable is seen as an offense.
  
  Weak Points: Due to their frailer, leathery composition, she is highly protective of her wings; they are a source of travel both underwater and in the air. Also, in humanoid form there are plenty of crevices that her scales do not cover where one could jam a sword.
  
  Speed: She may be fairly nimble for a dragon, but by most other races' standards, she's gigantic. Big target.
  
  Elemental Magic Resistance: At this time Qal'Nithya has not developed spell-weaving capabilities other than those she uses in her alchemy and rioting. Thus, she is vulnerable in the elemental sense.
