IC Info
Name: Eve
Canon: OC
Personality: A very good girl! ...when she isn't being an angry, bitter, shitty child.

Eve was born as a hybrid creature into a world populated by assorted magical beasts, which essentially meant pinging everybody in the same bestial instinct that in the real world triggers abandoning sick or runty offspring. Among thinking beings, however, getting hammered with "oh god no why does that exist" feelings results in much more pleasant behaviors— such as ostracizing and treating the cause as either a hideous nuisance that should be mercy-killed for everyone's sake or a poor, pitiful thing that should be happy with every scrap of anything resembling kindness it should get. As if that weren't enough, Eve was also later kidnapped for medical experimentation, since it turned out hybrid blood was universally accepted no matter what species it went into, so long as they were of the same elemental affinity as the donor.

While she had been lucky enough to have a relatively happy and healthy childhood, her entire experience in medical experimentation hell as well as her subsequent fending for herself has left a hell of a mark. As a result, she's become closed off and wary, unwilling to let anyone closer without putting in the hard work of convincing her that she's both wanted for who she is as a person and safe in their presence.

...which... well. Good luck with that. While she's willing to give more leeway to people who are willing to treat her with basic courtesy (or, barring that, as a person rather than something disgusting), she's still used to manipulating situations as best as she can— and her primary way of doing that is acting. When human-shaped, she most often presents herself as downtrodden and shy— inoffensive, something to be pitied rather than feared. If that's seen through, she'll present something closer to the truth of her bitterness and anger but twisted to fit the situation, often either angling to inspire either charity or fear.

It's only in her beast shape (an eight-legged mix between a viper and a wolf) that she's most herself: prideful, vicious, and stubborn, with a taste for picking fights rather than backing down. At the same time, though, that's when she most open to relaxing and showing hints of the goodhearted (if dumb and sheltered) kid she used to be— she refuses to wear any masks in that shape, for her own sanity. What better shape to allow herself emotional vulnerability than the one with the most physical defenses?

Sample Objectives: Initiating conversations! Because she's shy and paranoid and so that gives her an actual incentive to build cr, which makes life easier for me and also makes her uncomfortable, which is hilarious.
Aaand on the opposite end of the scale: sexual activity while she's in her beast/animal form. Because xeno.
Sample: Have an entire post.
Sample game mechanic: Abusing Using objectives to nudge Eve into the sort of situations I want to play her in (like actually socializing.) ...I am also hoping to get her as someone's Fate-style master and then servant herself to them using the game's master/servant system for masterception, but that's less guaranteed.

Name: Eve
Element/Species: Metal, raijuu/aesculapian serpent hybrid
Age: 20ish? lol
Gender: female
Height: 5’9”
Weight: less than it should be GIRL IS UNDERFED
Relations: Serpent father and raijuu mom (both genderfluid in different directions). They run a clinic. Also an extended family in the form of close friends of her parents, neighboring families, etc.

Physical description: SCARRED UP EITHER WAY (most obviously with clawmarks across her face and bites on her neck) BUT

• HUMAN: Tall and on the slim side, with messy steel-gray hair shading to blue (mullet-y; it's chin length in front and drops down to the bottom of her shoulderblades in back despite icons) and bright blue eyes. Tends to be kind of scruffy, but cleans up rather prettily when she bothers even with her gangly frame and the assorted bite and claw scars. Her body language and overall demeanor is either restrained and cautious or incredibly open; she doesn’t really do in-betweens in general.

• BEAST: Long snakewolf monstrosity with too many legs (four sets of two). Has both fur and scales, with fur being on top of her body and transitioning into the scales as you go down toward her belly; both are patterned similarly to a wolf pelt. Scales are spiked like an eyelash viper's, and she does in fact have the goofy little eyelash looking scales as well. Her paws are more lizard-like than mammalian, with longer toes and some ability to grasp— the nails on the front and back feet are worn down from walking, but since she usually keeps the two middle sets of legs tucked up against her stomach those claws have remained sharp. Her mouth and face in general are more viper-like than wolflike, with the exception of a somewhat longer snout and doofy triangle ears. She usually keeps her emoting towards the set of her ears and tail + assorted other body language as a result, since she learned very early on that doggy expressions with a snake face tends to freak people out.

A NOTE since this is like the closest I've got to permission/stats at the moment: as a hybrid, if you're at all magic sensitive Eve will feel fucked up, since she's essentially got the intrinsic magic of two different species haphazardly mashed together. This triggered a kind of instinctive disgust in others where she came from, but feel free to play with it as you like. People with more bestial instincts should be more affected by it than those without.
