Intent: To create a serpentine Sith Familiar for Darth Ophidia/Saiah.
Dev thread: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/60187-adventures-on-korriban/
Name: Nagajj.
Designation: Semi Sentient.
Homeworld: Korriban.
Language: N/A.
Average Height: 110 centimetres from nose to tail.
Weight: 1.3 kg.
Skin Colour: White scales.
Hair Colour: N/A
Eye Colour: Grey.
Breathes: Yes (Type 1 atmosphere.)
STRENGTHS:
- Bonded: The Nagajj is bonded to its master by blood. None other may control it. This means the master may also sense what the Nagajj is sensing and control it from a distance.
- Venomous: In its creation, the Nagajj was infused with highly potent Terentatek venom, which it is able to replicate in venom glands and inject through bite.
- My Flesh and Blood: The Nagajj can merge with its’ owner’s flesh and emerge from her skin. While doing this, the Nagajj breathes through its master.
- Force Projection: Like with most Sith Familiars, the master may project force abilities through the Nagajj as if the master was in the Nagajj’s position.
WEAKNESSES:
- Fragile: Like most Sith Familiars, the Nagajj is quite fragile and thus easily damaged by both melee and Force attacks. Sometimes, its master can accidentally destroy the Nagajj by channelling too much Force Energy through it. As such, any large-scale attacks -i.e. lightning and storm powers- have a chance of destroying the familiar.
- Connected: The connection involves a few drawbacks.
o The master senses all the pain inflicted upon the Nagajj as her own.
o The Nagajj may not stay away from its master for extended periods of time.
o The more attuned the master choses to be to her familiar, the more distracted she will be from her own surroundings.
- Limited Venom: While its venom is potent, it is limited in amount, and takes some time to make more. After five bites -whether they are successful or not- it will need to create new venom.
- Permadeath: A pure light-sided attack can destroy the familiar forever. The master will feel an agonizing pain if the familiar is destroyed this way. To recreate the familiar, the master will have to go through the full alchemical ritual once more.
DESCRIPTION:
In its physical form, the Nagajj appears as a long slender serpent with white scales. Its’ irises glow with the fiery hues typical of creatures touched by the dark side of the Force. Upon opening its’ mouth, the serpent unveils an array of curved fangs for hooking prey. Two of the teeth are elongated and hollow to inject the deadly Terentatek venom it was infused with during its creation. While inside its master, the serpent appears as a black mark on her skin. This mark resembles a stylised tattoo-version of the Nagajj and was an unforeseen side effect turned aesthetic quality.
The Nagajj received the shape of a serpent due to a vision Darth Ophidia had during her knighting, where she was confronted by a spirit of the Dark Side in the shape of an enormous serpent. Since then, the image of the spirit has been a source of inspiration to the point of an obsession. The image of the serpent(s) most likely came from a memory of her time in the gladiatorial rings of Rattatak. When she killed her first ever opponent, she was paid with a single golden coin decorated with a skull on one side, and two serpent biting each-other’s tails.
The Familiar was created under the watchful eye of Darth Ferus after Darth Ophidia received a wound from the venomous tusks of a Terentatek Matriarch on Korriban. To survive, Darth Ferus ordered her to push the venom that coursed through her blood into an alchemical basin and create new life to contain it. As her own blood was a component in the ritual, a Familiar was the obvious choice, and it gave the Nagajj the ability to merge with its master’s flesh
I took inspiration for the format of this submission from http://starwarsrp.net/topic/61819-hadzuska-rowa/?p=920787 as the desired result is somewhat similar, but added the description for sake of clarity. If this is a major error, I will edit promptly.
