Serperior Upgrade Package: Quirk: Long Boy Type: Mutation Rank: E -> D Effect: Serperior literally has the lower body, eyes, tongue, and fangs of a snake, though they don’t resemble any real type of snake in particular. His “coil” is close to a boa, python, or other tree-snake, strong as a limb, and very flexible, giving him incredibly agility as his first enhancement. Second, the scales on his lower body are as tough as metal, meaning he can use his lower body to shield himself against many attacks. Drawback: Serperior gets sleepy in cold weather. He has difficulty with anything that would require feet, though his tail is about as useful as another, fingerless limb. Cars are not a problem, as he can coil himself on the seat, then operate the pedals with the tip of his tail, but a bicycle or motorcycle is right out. (Splitting poison into a seperate ability slot, quirk changed to Durability + Agility, bumped up from E -> D = 400 xp) Venom Spray:Type: Ability Rank: E Effect: Mikhail can "spit" a spray of venom at short distances--no greater than 5 meters. While far from lethal, this venom causes burning and blurred vision in the victim, making ranged attacks from them much easier to dodge, and making melee attacks a little easier to dodge because of watery eyes and pain. (It's like getting pepper-sprayed!) Mechanically, this translates to one post of blurred vision in the victim's following post if it hits bare skin, and one post of blurred vision, followed by one post of complete blindness, followed by another of blurred vision if it directly hits the victim's eyes. He can "spit" like this three times in a thread before he needs to recover, which takes rest and time. He's pretty new to using his quirk as a weapon this way--it was a little too gross for any of his fight scenes as an actor. At max range, he can consistently hit an average person...but not where he wants to, just a body shot in general. He's more precise at 2-3 meters, and can usually hit the body part he's aiming at there. Any closer than that, and the poison spray will almost certainly hit unless him and his target are grappling. Drawback: His venom can be resisted by people with abnormally strong endurance, and needs to hit bare skin, or eyes, meaning protective clothing is enough to resist it. (Venom as Separate Ability = G -> F= 100xp, F -> E =200xp =300xp) Akido Type: Ability Rank: F -> D Effect: To help make his combat scenes more exciting, Serperior has trained in Akido since he was a teenager. Physically, his body is well-suited toward evasive combat, grapples, and throws. In his most famous roles, he uses a quarterstaff or a bladed naginata. As a hero, Serperior just carries a folding quarterstaff. Because bladed weapons kill people. As he recovers from his injuries, Serperior’s skill has began to return, and even improve, turning him into a master of his martial art. (F - D = 600xp) SingingType: Mundane Rank: G -> F Effect: As his throat injuries heal, Serperior has practiced singing again, bringing him up to the level he previously was as a boy band member. (G -> F =100xp) Total: 400 + 300 + 600 + 100 = 1400xp Spending 2 EP from Yojin for 1500xp package x |

Mikhail Orlov
BASIC INFORMATION Hero/Vigilante/Villain alias: Serperior
Player Name: DrTentacles
Faceclaim/Series: Pokemon Gijinka/Ayame Sohma (Fruits Basket)
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Hero
Height: 1.8m Standing/4.6m tail to head
Weight: 150kg
Hair/Style: Green
Skin/Scars: Japanese, Light-Toned
Eyes: Red
Notables: Green-patterned snake tail from waist-down. Scaled patches on face and shoulders. Fangs, forked tongue.
APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY Appearance:
Mikhail is your classic “exotic-looking pretty boy:” the kind that shows up in a couple teen movies, frontmans a boy band or idol group,” does a television spot or two, then either transitions into a serious acting career, or more likely, fizzles out in a haze of drugs and public scandals.
His look is almost copy-pasted: effeminate, perfectly coiffed dark hair, slender muscles, pale russian-japanese skin, and a sharp face with a bad-boy attitude. He probably smells like expensive cologne. Expensive cologne from his own brand. Unfortunately, Mikhail had to ditch the traditional leather jacket or ragged t-shirt for cut-off, neo-traditional yukata wraps. Snake people look silly in most normal clothing.
Mikhail might be the first teen hearthrob to be half-snake, though. From the waist up, he’s mostly human, with only a few scales, a set of sharp white fangs, and slit eyes to give him away. There’s no way to disguise the rest, though--the entire lower half of his body is scaley, green, and noodly.
Prior to applying for his pro hero license, Mikhail was in a severe car accident. This left him with some still-healing injuries--burns over his left lower jaw and neck, some deep cuts on his chest and forearms, and over 18 broken ribs. They've healed in ugly scars, which are usually hidden under his clothes.

Personality:
Personality is an odd word for Mikhail. For him, it’s less about who he is, and more about what role he’s playing at the moment. If he’s not acting, he’s actually a little uncomfortable.
Publicly, however, Mikhail is outgoing and boastful, but not in a mean way. He just wants to be noticed, and is happy to build someone else up as well, rather than feeling the need to put them down. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and changes mood quickly, but usually, is pretty positive--even manic, always with something to say. He doesn’t take frustration well, but he’d rather try again, or try something else than mope. He can take a joke at his own expense, and will give one back--but always light-hearted, never cruel.
HISTORY Mikhail was born to be a star. His parents were almost ruthless in molding him for fame--his mother had experience in the industry as a former TV-drama star, and his father her ex-producer. The fact that he was born with a long coiling tail didn’t stop them a beat--they viciously defended him from any criticism, and he was in front of a TV camera in ads before he even knew what the words he was saying meant.
It wasn’t an unloving childhood, but it wasn’t easy either. Both of his parents had seen the underbelly of the industry. Both of them had come from poverty, and neither of them had the success in their career they wanted. All of those expectations were put on Mikhail.
His big break came barely into his teens--he was cast as the bad boy villain-turned rival from a Sentai show. From there it was break after break. As real heroes and villains walked into the light, Mikhail played them. They battled evil and crime and each other, and he battled drugs, treacherous friends, grabby producers, and insane fans. Every detail of his life, every relationship or drunken outing ended up online.
Mikhail didn’t hate his fame, but he did feel trapped by it. The way he learned to cope was by taking risks. He insisted on doing his own stunts, and took up hobbies like base-jumping or paragliding. He drove too fast at night, and went out in the wrong districts after hours. When he was in danger, his fans and job and parents couldn’t find him.
Of course, it caught up with him. In his late teens, as he was starting to age out of a lot of his old roles, the stress of having to find a new identity--to go into comedy or get serious in dramas or to start a solo act was eating at him more than it ever had. And as a response, he took greater risks.
The day after his twentieth birthday, EMTs pulled him out of the flaming wreckage of his car. Inside was another, unidentified body, and the skid marks of another car was found nearby. Mikhail was close to dead, with several internal bleeding and burns, and what looked like knife wounds on his forearms. There was no way to do proper blood tests, but officers on the scene said there was alcohol and drug paraphernalia in the car.
It was the best thing that ever happened to Mikhail.
After two weeks of intensive care in the hospital, he went to the superhero registration camp, and applied to be a hero.
They literally laughed at him.
The laughter didn’t stop after his parents made a “personal request” to consider him for the test. Mikhail hadn’t expected them to support him, but in their eyes, it was a way for him to keep his career. Despite their flaws, his accident came as a wake-up call to them as well.
There was still snickering on the day of the test when Mikhail showed up, bandages over his still-healing scars, hiding his face from the press behind a surgical mask. There’d even been comedy skits by now about what having a pretty-boy-idol as a pro-hero would be like.
When he walked out hours later with his license, the laugher faded, for the most part. Only confusion was left.
He’d trained in martial arts for his roles. Memorizing laws wasn’t that far from learning lyrics or lines. And it was like a fire had been lit inside him after the accident. He could be a hero. He could be worth something.
He’d prove it.

Mikhail Orlov
QUIRK INFORMATION Naga
Type: Mutation Rank: D Description: Mikhail literally has the lower body, eyes, tongue, and fangs of a gigantic snake, though his combination of traits don't fit any specific species of real serpent. His “coil” is close to a boa, python, or other tree-snake, strong as a limb, very flexible, and covered in armored scales. He has short, sharp fangs that with venom glands behind them, and a forked tongue, but fortunately, also has a nose. In essence, his body is a true hybrid, with multiple odd adaptations necessary for something as odd as him to exist, including two hearts, a stomach capable of digesting plants and meat, and partial shedding. Benefits - Agility: It's astonishing what you can do with a giant, muscular tail. Mikhail can swing from it, coil and leap higher like he's been propelled by a giant sling, and bend his ribs to fit slither through tight spaces. He also has unnaturally fast reflexes.
- Durability: His scales are slightly larger, and much thicker than a common serpent, enough to act as armor everywhere they cover. When on hero business, he wears an armored jacket to cover his vulnerable torso, and the fragile tip of his tail.
- Offense: Between a minor paralytic venom in his fangs, and the giant coil of muscle of his tail, Serperior has an above-average nonlethal offense, either in grappling strength or venom.
Exhaustion and Weakness: - Mikhail isn't cold blooded, but cold makes him very sleepy. He's got a big body, and even with two hearts, isn't well adapted to the cold--a brisk autumn day will make him groggy, while colder temperatures will make him rapidly start to fall into a torpor.
- Mikhail needs to eat a lot, given his size, and warm-blooded metabolism.
- Although his scales are tough, and bones are flexible, they're a little more fragile than human bones. Hard, blunt force will hurt him badly.
- Mikhail can only try to bite two or three times in a day before he needs several days of recovery. Venom is hard to make. It also degrades rapidly out of his body, so it can't be stored.
