Thozsa

Overview

Name: Thozs’ahltsya (thoz-AAHL-tss-yuh)

Nickname: Thozsa

Pronouns: He/Him

Race: Yuan-Ti Pureblood

Age: approximately 26 years

Height: 5 ft 10 in

Class: Blood Domain Cleric

[Due to my own fellow party members being able to read this, I will have to limit the information I’m sharing here] Thozsa was born into and grew up in the Cult of the Blood Fang. The cult is made up entirely of Yuan-Ti and is located on an island off the coast of Faetopia. For a century the Blood Fang operated completely unknown to the inhabitants of Faetopia- until now. (thanks Thozsa) For reasons unknown to Faetopia, the Cult of the Blood Fang works to dismantle and overtake the kingdom. They hold a special hatred for the Faetopian Dragonborns particularly.

Features

Thozsa’s features are most related to the Blue Komodo Island Viper.

His skin is a vibrant teal color that lightens in tone on his chest, stomach, palms, inner thighs, neck, and under-eyes

Similarly colored scales cover most his body. The scales are thin and sparse near his joints, but large and plated on his shoulders, chest, upper-back and abdomen.

His eyes are an amber/yellow color.

Under his eyes are lines of pit organs. These pits detect thermal radiation. They are not too useful to him as a Pureblood, as he has better eyesight than other types of Yuan-Ti.

The roof of his mouth hosts an organ called the Jacobson’s Organ. Using his forked tongue, he can collect particles/chemicals from the air and then press them into said organ. This gives him a much higher sense of smell than if he were to just use his nose.

His teeth are a mix of human-like teeth and something more carnivorous. His incisors and molars are typical of human anatomy, but his bicuspids are much sharper than that of humans. In addition, his canines (cuspids) are large and long- snake fangs. He has a gland in his mouth that can supply these fangs with painful venom if he so chooses.

His jaw can unhinge and open much wider than other humanoids, so much so that even with his mouth closed, an indented line runs across his skin from the corners of his lips to the top of his ears (basically the seam of his jaw is slightly visible)

His ears are slightly pointed.

His nails are tougher than human nails and naturally grow at a pointed shape.

Temperature Guide

As a Yuan-Ti Pureblood, he is not as cold blooded as more snake-like Yuan-Tis, but that does not exclude him from the dangers of cold weather.

temperature guide for purebloods

100+ degrees is dangerous. If Purebloods cannot find shade quickly, their bodies will begin to shut down after a few hours. Their bodies react akin to getting a high fever

90 to 100 degrees can be uncomfortable for long periods of times without shade. Purebloods may become fatigued after several hours

75 to 90 degrees is ideal. Purebloods function the best at this temp range

60 to 75 degrees is uncomfortable for purebloods, but not dangerous. Their bodies might become a little sluggish, depending on how long they spend in this temp

at 60 degrees, purebloods will look for a tight and safe place to brumate. This place may accommodate many purebloods at the same time, or just one. During beumation, a pureblood’s bodily functions will slow drastically to save energy. Most won’t eat for up to a week. They will only leave their place to get water every few days. From an outside perspective, brumation seems a lot like hibernation.

50 to 60 degrees is ideal for brumation

anything below 50 is deadly after a certain amount of time. Their bodies will shut down.

Thozsa’s Past

Childhood

Thozsa was born on the Blood Fang’s island, and as a pureblood, this meant he was practically cattle for the first few years of his life. He spent the first two or three years of his life with other same-aged purebloods being looked after by higher Yuan-Tis. And by looked after, I mean being given the bare amount of food, water and other necessities. For the first years of his life, he was simply kept alive.

Near age four he was upgraded from just being kept alive to being kept alive and taught basic necessities. Necessities like the Yuan-Ti language, the Blood Fang’s functions, the greatness of their deity Sseth, and discipline.

At age six, he began his physical training, working on establishing stuff as little as needed motor skills all the way up to endurance training.

At age eight, he was introduced to Sseth’s magic for the first time. Many other purebloods from his group died at this age- their bodies not surviving the magic.

At age ten, he made it through The Selection- a process in which purebloods who show promising skills are selected for continued training. The rest are used for labor and or sacrifice.

He spent the next ten years of his life training to become a weapon, a tool for the Blood Fang to use as they please. More specifically: a spy. Purebloods who made it through their childhood were sent to the mainland to infiltrate the kingdom and gain valuable intelligence on the inner-workings of the Faetopian government.

Adulthood

At age 20, Thozsa was put through the Trials. The Trials were what decided if of-age Purebloods were ready to infiltrate. There were only two endings to the Trial: death or victory. Thozsa entered the Trials with eight other Purebloods and was the only one to make it out alive.

Nearing age 21, he was sent to the mainland of Faetopia.

For four years he traveled on the down-low from town to town, gathering information in the subtle way of simply observing. However, the longer he worked, the more familiar he became with Faetopia, and the more aggressive he became with his tactics. He soon became semi-known by some people as a bounty hunter. As he gathered information for the Blood Fang, he would earn coin by killing for others, something he was very good at.

At age 25 his name as a bounty hunter had reached the capital. Thankfully, his illegal bounties had stayed underground, but his bounty work for various organizations/guard posts/towns has caught the attention of the Faetopian Royals. He was skilled and they needed someone who’s loyalty could be bought with coin, seeing as no one else could possibly offer more coin than them. And so Thozsa was hired along with a handful of others to be present at the Queen’s baby shower (it was a very big and important event trust me) and keep an eye on the guests. And most importantly, capture/kill anyone who poses a threat. Thozsa takes the job both for the coin and for the sudden inside look he’d get of the capital. The job went successfully. Someone made an attempt on the Queen’s life and Thozsa killed them. Unfortunately though, he’d met the Prince of Faetopia (Aster) at the event, and even more unfortunately, was hired the next day to be the prince’s personal guard. Aster was annoying as fuck. (If the position wasn’t going to give him much needed inside information for the cult, he would have declined it immediately)

Present

Here is where I can give even less detail for fear my fellow party members read this. But the basics I can give are:

Aster drags Thozsa around Faetopia as he does his Princely (and not so Princely) duties.

Aster annoys the shit out of Thozsa, and if it weren’t for his circumstances, he probably would have killed the man already.

What’s weird is that Aster seems to care for Thozsa’s wellbeing even though he’s the guard, not the other way around.

Aster is also very touchy and hugs Thozsa and tries to hold his hand and gets pouty when Thozsa pulls his hand away weird huh

(everyone can guess from my art that these two do in fact grow closer over time, enemies to enemy-lovers to who the fuck knows type beat maybe, but I literally cannot explain any of it without spoilers for my party damn)

Other Info

Incase I didn’t make it clear enough above, Yuan-Ti Purebloods are the lowest of the low in the Blood Fang.

They exhibit the most human traits out of all the Yuan-Ti.

The more snake-like the Yuan-Ti, the higher up they are in authority.

The basis is, their deity, Sseth, is very snake-like. So the more snake-like you are, the closer to Sseth you are.

Some of Thozsa’s likes:

Heat/Warmth (obviously)

Humidity

Rabbit meat

The smell of frankincense

Soft textures

Some of Thozsa’s dislikes:

Cold (obviously)

Crowds

Not having control

Small talk

Cinnamon

Very open areas

By using his Jacobson’s Organ, he can quite literally smell certain emotions off people.

Some emotions present the emission of certain chemicals that he can detect with the organ.

Though this only works in very close proximity

He has gold caps over his fangs

Being a Pureblood, he cherishes the more snake-like parts of his body.

The gold on his fangs is a way of exemplifying one of his more snake-like aspects.

He cannot see yellow properly.

Something many Purebloods experience is the lack of certain eye cones responsible for detecting yellow (i know this isnt how it works irl leave me alone this is fantasy).

To him, yellow appears dull and near brown.

A yellow daisy is the same color as sand to him.

The thermal pits under his eyes can be overloaded with sensory

By pressing something warm directly onto the pits, thermal energy is being directly input.

It creates a similar effect to shining a flashlight directly into your eyes, except this isn’t painful.

It’s a sensory overload in the sense of all his brain can think is ‘warm, warm, warm, warm’.

In most situations, this is extremely unwanted and disliked, however, if he was ever in an environment he felt completely safe and relaxed in, this sensation would be rather nice.

He never knew his parents.

There is no sense of family in the Blood Fang. Especially for Purebloods

Once a Pureblood is born, they are taken and put with the rest. The parent(s) do not get to watch their child grow up, and it is very likely the child will never know who their parent(s) were in the first place.

Thozsa’s parents have lore in this world and I love them dearly. Their story is heartbreaking.

He sheds his skin

Purebloods shed once around every three years or so.

It’s a bit different to how snakes shed, it’s not a full cohesive full-body at one time thing

The parts of the body that have the most scale coverage shed pretty nicely, the parts that don’t have a lot of scale coverage shed messily.

Leading up the shed, their eyes gain a new layer and fluid becomes trapped between the old layer and the new growing one to protect it as it grows. This leads to Purebloods being almost completely blind for a day or two until the new layer is done growing and the old layer can be shed.

lmao I really need to post more frequent updates about my challenge characters. It's been two weeks.

Anyway this is Queen Sagittarius of Terra Venos. A neutral party in the war between the Free Atmos and Cyclonia, her kingdom values luxury and culture over fighting. The Queen rules with a silver tongue and lethal bite, showing off her power via royal finery.

Not quite sure what would prompt her to pick a side in the war, if anything, but she's part of a larger history I've developed for my own Storm Hawks headcanons. Maybe one day I'll have the time to elaborate on it.

First person to guess what movie is being referenced in the second sketch gets a cookie.

Previously on the Beast Tamers(?) (Our group's npc granted name)

We're still in the lodge and, after some antics, (firbolg skeleton bloodhunter Marigold pretending to be a summon and losing face to help the rest of us sneak through door by bonking themselves repeatedly into a doorframe and acting like they couldn't open a door), we have finally reached the vault!

And immediately had to do a will save!

Players (knowing what's in store) in unison: Oh noooo....

DM: >:)

Shirina (cute batfolk druid of stars/warlock of the Astral. The Face): passes with flying colours

Marigold (The (Former)Floof): No problem

Zoe (naive/no impulse control snakefolk arcane rogue The Most likely to go Evil): Surpringly okay

Wren (halfling drakewarden The GunsTM): ... oh no...

DM: Okay! Everyone one of the pedestals in front of you has what looks like the ugliest hat in the world, it is made of what looks like human, maybe orc, skin, stitched horribly together into a floopy yet stiff mess. Wren...~

Wren, while crying with laughter: I love this haaaat~

Everyone else: Oh no...

Marigold: Wren, there are so many cursed things in this vault you don't want the hat.

Wren (still crying with laughter ooc): Yes I do, I looove ittt!

Zoe: It's made of skin!

Wren: Clearly dragonscales! It'll look so good on me for the ball!

Marigold: I quickly pick up the hat-

DM: Roll another will save~

Marigold: Passed. Then I hold it well over Wren's reach, "Wren you don't want this hat, it is cursed and will never look good!"

Wren (finally composed herself and getting into character): "You just want it for yourself!"

DM: Wren, Marigold is holding your precious hat out of your reach, and you really want it. What do you do?

Wren: Can I... attack?

DM: Go for it! >:D

Everyone else: Oh no...

Wren: Right, okay... can I use fist or what..?

DM: It's up to you! Marigold, who *beat you senseless* when you were possessed is holding the one thing that is just about as precious as your Izul~

Zoe: I'm going to try to grab her!

DM: Roll for grapple, that's a strength check.

Zoe: And I'm going against our strongest character... nope! That's a 3.

DM: Zoe, you try to grab her, but Wren slams an elbow sharp into your gut, take 3 points of damage.

Wren: Right... I'm going to pull out my double crossbow and have Izul infuse the bolts. Uhh... does a 19 and unnatural 20 hit?

Marigold: .... yes

Wren: Alright! And that's.. 20 damage all together! Iseul is very glad to finally hurt Marigold after everything they did to Wren before.

Marigold: You shoot Marigold, and there is a sickening crack, and they say in a pained voice, "Ow... that's.. going to leave a mark.."

Wren: "Good, now give me my hat!"

Shirina and Zoe confer in the background, then Shirina tries to talk to her (unable to persuade due to curse): Sad bat sounds and face! "Wren that hat is cursed, you don't want it!"

Wren fails another will save: "Yes I do! Give me the hat!"

Zoe: Oh! I have Suggestion! "Wren! You do not want the hat! You are hurting your friends!"

Wren fails her will save to Zoe: Oh, thank god. Wren blinks and shakes her head looking confused, "Whoa, what happened..?"

DM: You have 8 hours for suggestion to keep working, she is still cursed.

Wren: Wren looks at the hat in Marigold's hand and makes a face, "Ugh.. that is an ugly hat..."

Marigold: Marigold grunts trying to keep a straight face, "You tried to wear it."

Wren gasping: "I did not!"

Marigold: Marigold pulls the crossbow bolts out of their bones, passing them to Wren with a grunt, "We're even. How am I supposed to sneak by the bad guys now? I have holes in my shirt! Also.. is my arm supposed to be so wiggly... oh no, no, it's not. Ow."

Wren: Wren blinks at the bolts, recognising them, then Iseul hisses at Marigold. "What do you mean even?"

Marigold: Marigold hisses right back. "You just shot me."

Wren: Izul yelps and goes and hides in his baby bjorn, Wren gasps in outrage "How could you?! And you BEAT me I still can't see out of one eye! I have permanent tissue damage and a shiner the size of your fist!"

Marigold: "It was just a mild concussion."

Wren: "A mild concussion!?"

Shirina: I'm going to start healing Marigold while they argue.

DM: Shirina busies herself healing Marigold as Zoe notices a shiny footlong key that looks like writhing with flames, and hears a hissing voice in her head. "Take the key, it will be needed~"

Zoe: Okay... I'm going to use stelath/slight of hand to grab it.

DM: Everyone else roll insight.

Everyone else: Fails.

DM: Alright! Marigold and Wren are too busy arguing, and Shirina too busy patching Marigold up, as Zoe picks up the key. It writhes and shifts forks in her hand, taking the shape of a dagger, a whip, a sword, before finally turning into a bracelet on Zoe's wrist. As it does so there is a huge gout of flame at the pedestal it once rested.

Zoe as everyone turns to look at her: Zoe pretends to look about in confusion, pulling down her cuff to hide the bracelet. "What was that?"

DM: Now then... there is a red ledger on a pedestal in the middle of the room, showing a list of everything within the vault, both cursed and harmless. You read various items: a star sapphire of power, elven chain mail, a pendent of disguise self, a blink ring, a necrodraconomicon...~

Wren: "Oohhh~!"

Everyone else: No!!!

Wren, pouting both ic and ooc: Wren can't have the necrodraconmicon, Wren can't have the cursed hat, this dungeon has not been a good trip for Wren.

My cat Paspas had a very bad dental situation since he was a stray kitten, we have been trying to treat it but it came to a point where the Vet had to remove his back-set of teeth. You can read about the situation from here. Thankfully the Vet was kind enough to allow us to pay it later so Paspas hand't have to suffer any longer, my boy is really well now but I need the money to pay the surgery and additional vet bills we got.

Ko-Fi’s payout methods (Paypal & Stripe) doesn’t work in my country, this forces me to rely on 3rd party people without direct access, deal with scheduling issues and pay additional fees due to international money transfer. You can find me at ko-fi.com/artofdel.

I prefer Patreon - it works with a platform that I can have access in my country but you will have to wait for your art till the monthly payout is through, to compensate I lowered the fee significantly. You can find my commission tiers at patreon.com/artodel.

Subscriptions to twitch.tv/PurpleTiefling are also appreciated, it helps with the cats & vet bills.

Contact and inquiries via [email protected] only, no social media DMs for commission work please.

Personal use only and credit me always.

Cannot be re-sold, turned into N/F/Ts, feed to A/I or used for any kind of commercial work (Profile Pictures & Banners are OK).

Depending on the tier you pick you will get;

Flat Colours, Cell Shade, Simple or No Background (YCH).

Single Character, Simple Background (Experimentals).

Sketchy in style but polished (Experimentals & Designs).

For outfit designs;

The body base won't be detailed, think of a mannequin, but if you have a base for your own OC feel free to provide it.

You can choose from one of the following for the base pose: Symmetrical, Posed, Catwalk.

—

Please provide;

Character references.

Outfit references for non-design commissions.

Design commissions are based on an aesthetic/mood boards + preferences.

Payment upon agreement.

—

Will Do! 🟢

Flat-Colours & Cell-Shade

Casual/Fancy Outfits & Lingerie (must provide refs for non-design comms)
