Helix, the Hydra

Name (Hydra, Helix)

Gender: Male, (at least, that's what Helix believes)

Age: 18 years old

Species: Hydra


Love Interest: Loves Food

Weapon: Helix carries two curved scimitars around with him for fighting. But other than that, he can't be a meister for a weapon.

Appearance: Helix stands around 6' 9" and is pretty short for one in the Hydra clan. The only real way to tell he is a hydra is the fact that he has the tribal markings of the Hydra clan all on his body and the fact that he is blue-skinned. He weighs about 400 pounds, but doesn't look like it. His body is bigger than his legs which is so that the body can hold more heads than just one. Helix walks on two legs, like some of his family members. His hands have six fingers on both hands (uncommon for humans, but a possibility-just a note from James) and have retractable claws that are filed to extreme sharpness. Helix usually wears a black shirt and a black pants and covers up most of his body with a cloak that seems to be from another time period. He keeps the hood pulled up when walking around humans in order for him to be less noticeable among them. He doesn't have hair, but he does have two horns sticking, slightly, above his ears. His eye color is a dark red, sometimes called bloodred.

PERSONALITY: Helix is a shy hydra. He avoids confrontation, and he tries to avoid Academy people at all costs. He likes to walk slow and steady, but can run fast when he wants to. He keeps his scimitars holstered on his back. He draws them whenever he is hunting for food, which would be anything that has meat and is edible. He twitches a lot around other hydras because he is nervous that the Hydra clan will reject him one day. Helix believes in the principle of "Hiding in plain sight is the way to survive," so most of the time he will ghost along in a crowded place in order to be fully hidden from his enemies, but whenever it is directly noon, he will hide in alley ways and wait for the shadows to return so that he can see better (he can see well in the dark, though). He likes to scratch his claws against bricks and other walls to see the gouges he made with them.

History: Helix Hydra came into this world, by a weird way. Hydras, in general, reproduce through mating and pairing , but a few Hydras can reproduce asexually. Those few Hydras bud, and that is how Helix came to be, through budding. He was a runt whenever he finally feel off his parent (about three and a half inches long) and was lost by his parent. As such, Helix grew up on the streets, wandering from place to place, running from dangers; until he meet another fellow Hydra wanderer who taught him how to hide in plain sight. This Hydra died shortly after by an attack from the Academy. Helix was able to escape in the confusion, and has been hiding ever since. Helix plans on hiding in plain sight, find courage to fight the Academy, and take his revenge on the Academy for killing his mentor.

Miscellaneous: Helix like the color purple and he, especially, likes ketch-up. He has a bi-heart system, which as he grows older, they get closer and closer to combining (whenever he gets his third head, it combines all together). Currently, Helix has two heads

Abilities: Helix can regrow lost heads like all Hydras (one cut off grows two more) He can heal himself (minor scraps and bruises two posts and serious damage/lost limbs take three to five posts depending on the severity). A minor trait of his is that he has paralytic blood, which the blood pumps the venom into his claws (an ounce is the regular dose, which when translated is pretty much a deep slash from one hand's claws and lasts an hour (or around 10 posts unless a time skip is specified)

Weaknesses: Helix's heads take a while to regrow (three posts to have the head brought back), he can't have more than three heads, can't cut off his own head to grow more heads, if the heads are seared or burned badly; he can't grow heads there, and also he can't see very well in the sunlight. If all of his heads are cut off, he then, dies.
