Physical Appearance
Eyes:
Almond shaped, with snake-like pupils, with thin, wispy eyelashes, and a bright yellow-green in color. Dark, thin, but shapely brows frame her eyes.
Hair:
Black, with an emerald hint in the light. Short, to just above her shoulder on the right, getting shorter the further left it goes, ending at ear length. On the right side hang two, long dreads, falling down to her chest, with a few decorative beads, gifted from her mother. The beads are actually enchanted with runes to help boost her natural Naga strength.
Skin:
A light shade of a mossy/foresty green with smatterings of black scales, going across the front and back of shoulders and then down the spine to her lower back, into her where her tail starts. Her lower half, whether tail or legs, is covered in black scales, with a few green ones mixed in intermittently.
Build/Other Features:
She is toned, with defined muscles and a six-pack. The muscles are toned, but not too bulky.
There are a total of four, black, polished horns that come from her head, two on each side. There are two, smaller, pointed horns, at her hairline above her temples, with two larger, curled horns just behind these.
A pair of dark, leathery wings sprout from between her shoulder blades, covered in glowing runes, (put there by her mother). These runes enchant her wings, allowing her to conceal them at her will, appearing as a pair of leather sleeves on her arms, the runes still present and glowing. She mostly hides them, only bringing them out when truly needed.
Her entire bottom half, starting at the V-line below her belly button, is a long, strong snake tail. {See Skin for coloration} She can switch between this tail and regular humanoid legs at will, using magic. She usually saves the energy for this for when she is wearing her full armor and is going to battle.
Weapons/Abilities/Weaknesses
-Acid Breath, inheirted from her father. This takes quite a lot of effort, since she is only half-dragon, and so she saves this as a last resort type ability.
-A large, two-handed sword which she wields with one hand, thanks to her enhanced strength. It was Drow forged, commissioned by her mother when she was still only a child. It is forged from both Adamantite and Mithril, as per request of the commission order. (Adamantite is the base of the sword, for the magical properties the material offers, with a layer of Mithril protecting it from the decaying effects of the light, allowing her to use the sword wherever.) The sword is Bastard style, with an elaborate, black handle, a tiny skull carved at the very end. Noylayishna has had the sword "blessed" by Vakmatharas in order to carry out her mission as a Death Knight.
-She has strong, claw-like nails she keeps at about 2 -3 inches long. They are always coated in a specialized poison, disguised as vanity in a dark, usually black, nail polish. The poison is a fast acting paralyzer once it gets into the blood stream, so as long as she breaks skin, the poison does it's work. It is only temporary, and is there mostly as a defense mechanism, if enemies get too close, rendering her sword nearly useless.
-She has also been granted a sap-life ability by Vakmatharas, essentially an anti-Healing Hands power, she has dubbed "Wilting Touch".
-Her teeth are all sharp canines, which she is never afraid to use as a weapon when needed.
-She is severly weak to Light and Holy magics. All her blessings and abilities, both natural and otherwise, leave her mostly offensive, leaving her defense something to be desired. Her armor has been enchanted to help fight against this weakness, but it can only do so much. As such, she prefers to come out and/or fight only at night, and avoids Light/Holy areas at all costs.
-Bersek, Stunning Blow, and Unholy Strike: Three basic skills for her sword that she utilizes, the last one a blessed skill from her class.
History/Other Information
Her mother, Jyayanjiga, is a Ha-Naga from the swap, a powerful swamp witch with the ability to enchant things. She's also very skilled at placing powerful runes on just about anything. Her father, Braedinoc Sothi, was a Black Dragon, who migrated between the swamp and deep in the mountains. A true loner, he did his own thing, making his home wherever he saw fit. Both are/were evil and this was their connection. After a few encounters with each other, the pair had a child, which was to be raised in the swamp the mother. Jyayanjiga had a vision from her deity, Delisha, to have and bring into the world a powerful, evil child, who would some day be needed, and so, for many years, the swamp witch sought out a suitable mate. The dragon Braedinoc was eventually found and chosen, and Noylayishna Sothi was brought into the world.
On one of Braedinoc's visits to the swamp, when Noylayishna was still only a young child, he presented his child a challenge. It was the same challenge presented to him by his father, and so on and so forth for as many generations back as his lineage went; that when she came of age she must fight and kill him. With a devious grin she gladly accepted this challenge, spending her life to train and better herself for the impending battle. Jyayanjiga sent her from the swamp to go train with powerful Death Knights, where Noylayishna pledged her allegience to the deity Vakmatharas, eventually receiving his blessing as she breezed through her lessons. Delisha had blessed her mother to help whatever child she may have, and so she had a natural affinity to the dark arts she studied. She spent a time in the Underdark with the Drow, to retrieve and train with the weapon her mother had commissioned as soon as she learned of the challenge Braedinoc presented.
As soon as she came of age, even with having years more of training needed, Noylayishna returned home to the swamp to meet with her father. He was of course, waiting for her, and the two battled. It was a spectacle for the ages, with Jyayanjiga and all the swamp Nagas present to witness the feat, and it raged on for hours. It soon became clear that in the case of this battle, youth was the advantage, with Noylayisha's seemingly never ending stamina and her specialized weapon. After hours of battling, Braedinoc finally fell to his only daughter, a grin on his face, (as much as a dragon can grin), as she ended his life without a second thought. The Death Knight took this a step further and ripped a few teeth from his mouth, which she later fashioned into a necklace, and skinned some of his dark hide to make a sleeveless, leather tunic from. She wears both proudly, almost at all times, a symbol of her strength. This would mark the beginnings of a dark habit for the woman, the need to take a trophy of some sort from every kill. The necklace she wears is soon joined by others, adorned with various teeth, from various races. She also claimed the title Lady Sothi, being the only living heir to the name, and never again went by anything other than this title. She earned it, afterall.
After defeating her father, she returned to finish her Death Knight training. Vakmatharas decided, upon seeing her natural affinity for the class and her ability to master the skills with ease, to grant her with the ability to sap life, the rare skill granted to Death Knights, to oppose Paladin's Healing Hands. Noylayishna dubbed this skill of hers "Wilting Touch" and it is a favorite of hers. She reached the limit of what she could learn from her teachers, who sent her out to find a true Master that could declare her a Master as well. She has a base home in the swamp, where she goes to gather the poison her mother and her craft from materials there, and keep in touch with her roots. When she is not home, she is seeking a Death Knight Master, and a purpose for the darkness she wishes to bring upon the world.
