If you have heard of Naga\'s you\'ve probably heard of a religion that speaks of them, or have played D&D (or AD&D, perhaps even)
If no other races will be accepted for a long-long time, i understand, but i just want to get this out of my head before the sticky note becomes a filing cabinet.
Backstory A ancient race of serpent people, Nagas have long lived on the overworld in peace through their use of innate stealth and their magics which conceal them. Nomads, forsaken by nearly all other races because of their appearance, they roam the surface without a home. Several Naga clans have ventured into the deep earth, and though some perished through unknown perils, and yet some have found Yliakum and this is where they currently setup, for the first time, perminate homes.
Appearance The upper half of their bodies appear as if they were as any other human male/female, however, they are completely bald, with absolutely no hair on their bodies. the lower half of them is that of a serpent, with one long, muscular \"foot\". If you cant see it, imagine a cobra rearing up and spreading it\'s neck, and you have a rough apearance of a Naga (minus the [upper body human appearance and proportions])
Their entire body is covered in scales, with the most prevalent colors being dark green, brown, and black though dark blue, dark purple, and deep red can also occur. Some Nagas have mottled, patterned, or striped scales as well. Their eyes have round pupils, with irises of red, purple, green, and brown.
Abilities and feilds of interestStealth is the Naga\'s main defence against predators, bounty hunters, and prey. To this end, the majority of their magics enhance or multiply by exponents their ability to do so. However, the Naga can weild a sword and swing an axe just as well as it can skulk in the shadows. Due to their appearance, they arn\'t
thought of as good politicians, though some would argue that all politicians act the same, no matter what.
Due to their single foot, they cannot jump even the slightest of amounts, however, they
can extend themselves upwards several feet by \"standing on their tippy-toes\" so to speak. They are also excellent climbers.
Nutrition Due to Nagas being outcasts, they can go longer without food than most races, however, this doesn\'t mean they won\'t eat when the oppertunity arises. Being a serpent, they are not affected by poison, thus can eat poisoned food without so much as a stomach ache or passing bad gas (thus, a unliked Naga king will remain in power for a long, long time; so long as the assasins use poison.)
RulesImmune to poison, medium-resistant to disease, can go longer times then most without eating. Can spit poison as a ranged weapon, with range based on [skill in] said ability. Bonus in stealth and stealth-like magic areas. +1 mana point at creation. Swims quickly in water for moderate amounts of time, though full submersion is not a good idea unless you have developed the swimming skill further. Can\'t \"side step\" well; going backwards is awkward; forwards can go quite fast.

Notesthe rules can be changed, however, the immunity to poison MUST stay, simply because Nagas ARE SIMILAR TO
SNAKES (and i mean that in a good way) and would certainly use some sort of poison-or-other to attack their enemy with and be immune to the poison they use. now, before you go on and say that Nagas are snakes, and are therefore cold blooded dont. Nagas arn\'t snakes (though i may refer to them as such) they are
not snakes. they are Nagas.
Warm blooded, live birth, etc etc...
as well, Nagas can wear all the usual armors, however, they are far more comfortable in their own Naga armor. A Naga barding is one peice of armor that only the Naga can wear, as it fits the oddly shaped lower snake foot and still allows for directional movement at a fair speed. A Naga plate would fit the upper body of the Naga perfectly, and could also be worn by some other races though not without minimal to moderate discomfort. Hands and arms nearly equivelent to humans, so no real problem in them wearing humanoid gauntlets or arm armor. They can wear almost every humanoid helmet, though it might cut down on vision (the HUD gets blocked by a helmet over-lay like thing, as if you were looking through a actual helmet irl) but Naga specific helmets once more avoid this complication, thus no vision blocking happens.
Naga specific weapons are also available, though they have a neglable advantage over their counterparts.
Ok, you can post now.
