Update

Hey y'all,

Sorry I haven't been posting much on here or my other socials. I have become very ill over the weekend and still am. I have a sinus infection and I'm trying to get better.

Before all this went down I have been working on new MerMay weekly posts (Word of the Day and Quote of the Day) and plans to work on other things. Unfortunately though my immune system had other plans.

I hope to get back to things once I'm 100% better.

Have a lovely week!

Eye Color: Crimson Red

Hair Color: Onyx, long length

About/Backstory

Czar is the first-born child of King Voskai and Queen Kaatrisa Agskaga. He was named after a powerful dragon, Szarrak, that lived alongside the Agskaga’s many centuries ago. His nesti (family) are a highly respected royal line of Naga’s/Nagi’s that dates to Draca Isla Pyramis, an ancient place where they and Dragon’s thrived before its doom. They are known for their amber lilies, a precious flower that holds healing properties and other usages.

The young prince usually finds himself relaxing among the trees (what little was on the isle he calls home), hidden away with a book in hand. When not reading or learning about legends and histories of old, he likes being at gatherings in the company of others (especially with the sapien women). He delights in showcasing his fire majic (magic) abilites as well as helping those stressed or lacking sleep through his hypnosis abilites.

With the unfortunate death of both parent’s during his teen years, he is the last of his reign to bare his father’s name and to the throne. In the meantime his uncle on his father's side has taken over responsibilities until his nephew is ready (which he isn't quite ready to take over the throne just yet).

Personality

Many have mistaken his kind as evilly sadistic. Not all are that way…at least from Czar’s point of view. Czar can be seen as an intimidating, mysterious royal at first glance. He shows his true self in his knowledge and interest about the world. Czar enjoys discussing legends of old and Zarth’s history with company.

The royal can be quite talkative at gala’s and other large speical occasions. There are times, however, he’d rather be alone in his study. Raised with good manners and always seems to be well-adjusted for a Naga, he still dabbles in his mischievous teasing ways.

Of all the Naga’s/Nagi’s that possess the ability of hypnosis, Szar despises those that use it for merciless, heartless purposes. He would rather use his ability to help those in need. Czar asks for consent for this reason, to make sure they feel safe with the charming prince that he is. Sometimes through his flirtation and teasing ways, it had always worked on the ladies he fancies…at times.

Abilities/Majic Status

Hypnosis – A unique ability that causes those to be in a state of consciousness and have them voluntarily lose action. Not many have this ability. Czar is the first in many centuries of his nesti to possess such ability, though he rarely ever uses it. (His eyes glow, like looking into a roaring fire).

Fire Maji – He can conjure, manipulate, and inflict damage through the element of fire and heat. Czar’s favorite ability is breathing out fire like those of dragons and conjuring a fire like whip. The crystal embedded within his left palm is oval red. *More information TBA*

Constriction – Like those of serpents large and small, his long body can wrap around enemies and tightly squeeze the life out of them. He also can climb up trees or buildings if nessesary.

Heightened Senses – As a Naga he has an excellent scent and eyesight compared to other races of Zarth.  

Wardrobe Appearance

The Naga likes to show off his prized gold and rubies he has collected over the years. At times he wears his medium golden collar with rubies mixed with teal crystals. Along his arms he wears golden arm and wrist bands. He tends to wear two rings, both of which belonged to his parents. One is crimson red with gold and the other is teal with gold. He wears them on his right hand: one on his index and the other on his ring finger. On the other hand, he wears a golden serpent ring on his ring finger.

Upon his head he is sometimes seen wearing a gold circlet crown the small design of Agskaga’s amber lily symbol at the center.

He likes his selection of clothing soft and light. A lot of his fabrics are made of the finest silk and cotton on Zarth. Czar prefers to wear reds, blacks, yellows, oranges, whites and even just a little hint of teal in his fabrics. The prince often wears open shirts, long sleeve or short, attached with silky long or medium length drapes behind the back or to the side with beautiful intricate patterns (mostly floral, serpent, etc.). Along his hips he tends to wear a golden belt (large enough to cover his lower region) with chains and jewels.

When not seen around the public or with other nobility, Czar likes to be shirtless. Czar still wears his usual jewelry such as his arms bands, rings and the belt.

His long onyx hair is sometimes tied up as a loose ponytail with the front tied in a topknot. Some strains of his long hair still show on the side of his face when tied up. A lot of the times, however, his hair is usually down. Sometimes he will allow females (those that he fancies) to braid one strain of his hair. Many have complimented on how silky his hair is, given that he uses the best shampoos. Many ladies have described the smell of rose and lavender.

Weapons

The Naga often not carries weaponry around with him. Since he is a Fire Maji and uses majic, he doesn’t necessarily have any use for actual weapons. He has been trained though with using whips, swords, and daggers at his nesti’s palace. So if need be, he can easily pick up a sword while still performing fire majic on his enemies to protect the people he cares about.

Soooo close to finishing up my rough outline key events for the novel 😫😫

I'm on Act 3 and man oh man, it's been a struggle figuring all this out. I'm a planner, so I like to plan things out ahead of time instead of writing it. Also the scenes that are in my head I'm trying to finally put them down on paper instead of doing nothing about it over these years.

Btw the rest of "Coils of the Naga" has been roughly outlined as well. Not many more parts as I don't want to spoil the entire novel that the audio roleplay series is based on.

Again, this is a long process and the fact I'm getting closer to fully visioning the story is insane.

Slow steps, we're getting there!

[ariellewm]

I love this so much! 😍😍

Now I imagine Czar, my Naga Prince from my WIP Novel/"Coils of the Naga" in a similar pose...

An experimental commission for dingy_pingy on twitter! I had the pleasure of designing this guy as an adoptable years ago, it was such an honour to revisit him!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Won't be doing much writing since I'm away for a bit. Like literally only a few hours...have to drive back home in the evening tomorrow.

Calista, "The Shadow Ranger"

1. The night of the raid that occurred in her home village.

3. She tends to hide physical things, such as the claw markings along one side of her neck and a necklace, the only thing belonging to her mother before she was lost to the world.

5. To herself and her dragon companion Luno (the only family she has left in the world). She has a hard time trusting others and tends to be hesitant when meeting new people, especially with nobility.

Prince Czar, "The Naga Prince of the Central Isles"

8. Those that harm other sapiens (humans). He hates especially sadistic evil naga's, his own people, who take advantage over the sapiens.

12. Czar fears losing his friends or those close to him. He already lost both parents from a surprise attack, he isn't ready to deal with another big loss.

15. He likes how unique the color of his scales are, how others come to him about information due to his knowledge about the world of Zarth. The naga dislikes the fact that he gets cold easily (noodle man goes brrrr 🥶😣)

Get to Know Your Character

Here are some questions to consider for character development:

What parts of their childhood trigger them?

How do they treat themselves when they're feeling sad?

What parts of themselves do they tend to hide?

How do they punish themselves when they make mistakes?

Who are they loyal to? Why?

Who do they avoid? Why?

What emotions or situations do they try to avoid? Why?

What angers them?

What are their insecurities?

What are their emotional triggers?

How do they feel about love?

What are their fears?

What is their relationship with their family like?

What kind of people do they tend to gravitate towards?

What do they like/dislike about themselves?

Happy writing ❤

I'll come back to answer these for my OC's from my novel. Maybe I'll get to work on it tonight (depending how the rest of the day goes).
