Ahi: The Serpent touched
Parent Constellation: Opiuchus
Pronunciation: Ah-Hee
- Ahi are fire-based magic users, their Tiya being in the medium range (which means they tire easily, since fire burns energy), and are also able to command snakes to do their bidding. It is rare to see an Ahi without a companion snake that they had since childhood...
- Like snakes they tend to have fangs, and tend to be ‘cold blooded’, love warm temperatures, and can dislocate their jaws. They are also pretty flexible. They tend to move slowly, in a languid fashion. The only time they move quickly is when there is money to be had or when attacking others.
- They do not tend to have hair, or do not grow hair very well. Ahi grow scales in various colors and patterns (colors/patterns found anywhere in the natural snake world). Body-wise they tend to be slender and long limbed with equally long, slender hands and fingers. Pupils of their eyes can have slits, and their tongues can also be forked. Some Ahi do not have noses or external ears and instead have slits or holes where they should be. Their skin is often mildly or darkly tanned, due to the fact that they enjoy spending as much time in the sun as possible.
- Ahi do not often have very good eyesight, but to make up for this their hearing, scent, or sense of 'taste' (as snakes tend to ‘taste’ or scent the air with their tongues) are often very good.
- Occasionally an Ahi will be born with the bottom half of a snake instead of legs, forming a very naga-like individual; these individuals are often genderless or asexual and seen by the Ahi as a blessing. [naga-style Ahi are thus very, very rare.]
- Eye colors range thusly: brown, green, black, gold-ish, red only if albino (along with all the detriments that it involves).
- Good at scholarly work and make very, very good merchants, and accountant/treasurers. Despite their sly, smarmy appearance you can always count on an Ahi to keep the finances straight or to collect what is owed to them. Many races or peoples will turn to an Ahi to ask them to sell items had been made. Ahi will often agree to do this for a percentage of the profits.
- Do not group or often form ‘families’. They usually get together, mate, and then split off again. Children that are born of these unions are raised up to a point and then told to make their own way in the word. Ahi are notoriously selfish and even a little greedy.
- Personality: Ahi are vain creatures (they often think themselves as highly intelligent and attractive people, despite of what anyone else may think). Often if you compliment something (especially anything having to do with their scales) on an Ahi you will have a, possibly unwanted, friend for life. They tend to carry themselves with a lot of self importance and have very large egos.
