Iypa--Character Reference

Published:
932 Views

Description

Whoo-hooo! Everyone's (well, mine XD) favorite adorable naga beer-o-phile.... Beer-drinker, just beer-drinker. X3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Character: Iypa (in reference to IPA)

Physical Traits
Species: Maranaga (Diadem ratsnake subtype)
Age: 29 years (young adult)
Gender: Male 
Length: 58 feet/ 17.6 meters(Longer than average but lanky)
Weight: 1010 lbs/ 458 kg
Other important Physical Traits: Has a single blackish blotches on his shoulder blades--otherwise all blotches are brownish. Has a pretty pronounced "snout" for a maranaga, giving him a constant 'grin" and a proportionately huge mouth. Wobbles a lot when moving in a relaxed setting, regardless of how intoxicated he is. Terrible swimmer--excellent climber and quite a fast slitherer. 

Personality and Mental Traits
S. Orientation: Homosexual
R. Orientation: Homoromantic
Intelligence: Average
Personality: Iypa is one that can only be described as a sweetie, given that he's rather affectionate (more so than even most other maranaga) and attentive to the feelings of others. Despite being tipsy whenever possible this has little effect on his mood since he doesn't exist in a culture which tells its people that drugs change who you are--he just does what he would normally with a little less coordination and slurred speech (XD). Along with being a drinker he's also an eater with a wide range of tastes. The quickest way to get him to trust humans is offerings of treats--especially items a Maranaga has likely never seen or nibbled. He's rather friendly with humans because of this and a bit obliviously forward too. Many times tourists, fisherman, and other visiting humans to Mara Isle are confronted with a big-mouthed, nearly 60-foot naga and only throw food and drink at him because of fear--all the while Iypa is probably thinking "Yay! New friends!" X3. Regardless of his chill attitude with humans, that doesn't make him any less likely to nosh on a human if he happens to be hunting--this is a typical Maranaga action. Iypa is also playful and falls for others very easily--super-romantic and lovey-dovey but quite embarrassed to be so with others watching. May not have the best opinion of himself either, as praise tends to turn him into a blushy pile of mush. Overall, a cool guy. I'd hug him. 
Likes/Favorites: BEER (with an exuberance that is adorbs), hugs and cuddles, climbing trees, chin scritches, human-made food (especially peanut butter), innocent pranks.
Also, because it's so important, FAVORITE BEERS!: Red Stripe, Negro Modelo, Red ales, and all Imperial Stouts, especially peanut butter ones.
Dislikes/Anti-favorites: WINE (what is this sh******t!!!), getting rained on, centipedes and spiders (Eeee!), bright yellows, dogs (8..C Why are they barking at meeee?? Waah, I'm scared~), frogs (as nom-noms).
Clan Position: Unranked
Family: Rasatala's younger brother and only surviving family (not that Rasat treats him as such :P )

Hnnn, there ya go! The beer-naga is a go. XD

Feel free to ask Iypa questions as well! Asks are great character development tools! I will draw a response. :meow:

I don't mean to be critical (I happen to find Iypa fascinating), but I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea that he's 58 feet long and only weighs 520 pounds.

Consider this: An average adult male is 5'10" and weighs 160 pounds.  That's about 27.4 pounds per linear foot.

Iypa looks to be even broader in the torso than a human, but if he has the same weight per linear foot, that would make him 1,432 pounds.

Large (green) anacondas can grow to 29 feet and weigh about 550 pounds. Iypa is twice that long and weighs 30 pounds less. That would give him an average thickness of a [skinny] human leg.

Sorry if I'm coming across as picky, but I really do like your beer-drinking naga. :D
