Snake Geist (3.5e Race Template)

Snake Geist (Template)

Personality

Usually don't act any different from their normal selves, except that they do desire male company; they don't care if it's by enslavement or by consent. They are very flirty, and will do almost anything to get attention from men. They can create fangs in their Base Race form to use their Geist Venom. Their venom is very powerful they can make poisons and antidotes within their bodies. When in Geist form they pass their venom through their claws. They can be tied down to one person if he actually tries to keep them under control.

Physical Description

Eyes: blue, green, yellow, silver.

Armor: silver, blue, green.

Hair: blue, green, silver.

Their base race form is that of a very beautiful female of that race. When in Geist Form they have armor around their head and neck, and their shoulders. Their skin in Geist Form is that of a light blue except around their hands and feet, that is a darker blue. They have webbed hands and feet to move faster in water. They also have claws, unlike most Geist their claws do not cause Geist infection it's their venom, and they can choose wether their venom will turn them or not. They are the fastest of the Geist in water but not on land, although they are faster than most normal races.

When you are turned it happens in stages: first your eyes change, then your hair changes, then you grow your claws and tail, then finally your body shifts into Geist form. After the first time you can go to any of the stages you want; strate to Geist form, change of eye color, or up to claws and tail your chose. But when you shift to a middle stage you will get all that comes before it: want claws and a tail well you will also get a new eye and hair color.

Geist after adulthood don't change in appearance even in their base form until venerable age. But they still do get the same penalties when reaching middle and old age.
