Hetherev Reference: Az

:thumb280231577: :thumb201768561:

Name: Az (shortened because she forgot the rest)
Height/Length/: 5.0 ft (60 in) at shoulder/12.7 ft (152.4 in) from head to tail-tip. Tail-length is 5.3 ft (63.4 in)
Age: 35 (about 86 in human-years)
Gender: Female
Able to Speak: Yes.
Town: Kobekan Mountains

Side: Lawful Neutral to Chaotic Good.

Goggles: Az has terrible memory loss and a case of myopia. If you find her goggles would you mind returning them? I doubt a pair of old, cracked, dirty goggles are of much use to you.

Scars: Under the fur. Minor injuries. She knows how to take care of herself in a fight.

Personality: Az is the character who shoots down your wonderful ideas with reality. Strong-willed. Stubborn. Not lazy, just... needs a really good reason (or someone to buy a round of drinks) to do things for people. Dislikes being a leader (and will grouse the whole time) but can be an enforcer of a leaders' orders/wishes very effectively. Would rather operate on her own than in a group but when she wants something she'll cooperate until her needs (or debts) are fulfilled. Honorable to her own code of conduct mysterious though it may be.

Expressions: Her 'smile' can be disarming as her mouth cannot physically frown. To clarify: Her face is not frozen. She can emote (with her eyes and nose) but to change her mouth expression by frowning is incredibly difficult. It's just the way her skull is put together. Ah heck. Just refer to the expession chart up on the ref.

Assets:
-Physical strength.
-Claws. Thick and heavy. It's gonna be painful being ripped up by those.
-Tail. Not-prehensile but makes for a painful lesson if hit at your legs.
-Poison. The knob on her tail-tip secretes a neurotoxin that flows down the two 'blades' on either side. Will typically paralyze in small doses but others may be immune or affected differently.
-Weight. She's heavy. 456lbs (206.8kg).
-Can manipulate items with some dexterity. Not too good with fiddly-bits.
-Mouth. Shark-like teeth and mouth can open very wide.
-Mane. Protects her neck from most animal/bitey-attacks but not great protection against proper weapons.

Weakness:
-Alchohalic.
-See those little goat-legs? Yeah, she cannot rear herself up to stand upon them for more than a few seconds without some sort of support. The bones cannot support her weight in a bipedal posture.
-Eyesight. Nearsighted/low myopia. Far away objects are blurry. Her goggles corrected this to a degree.
-often doesn't think of ariel-attacks.
-Is a hot-weather creature. Not equipped for cold-weather.
-Cannot swim.
-Center of gravity makes her rather top-heavy.
-Not immune to her own poison.
-Not immortal.
-Small children. She's a softie at heart when children are involved.

Is there anything you feel very STRONGLY that your character NOT be drawn doing?: (Kissing another character, etc).
-Kissing? Why would anyone want to kiss that face? Or for that matter want to do the sexy-thing with her? Uh, other than that keep it PG-13 and just... ask me if you're unsure about how Az would react.

Are people allowed to draw your character? Of course! Just send me a link to the finished piece so that I can squee over it. <3
-------------
[Edit: Height and length are now correct]. I realize how misleading the TBOS-OCT ref was. And I'm aiming to correct it to give Az more depth through Hetherev. Explore her character. Flat-colored this because... well, I wanted to keep it simple.
