__________________IN-DEPTHPHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONBetter known as Esca, Esca is of average height for his species, less broad and bulky so much as he is long and lean. Make no mistake, as he’s plenty muscular, with an athletic build and very little in the way of fat on his body. His skin is covered in fairly smooth aqua green scales, with lighter patterns on his chest and the inside of his arms, lower belly, groin, and inner thighs. Ridges grow on the outside of his forearms where they collect and the bones of his ribcage protrude more and small clusters of scales collect on his back and joints, protective and armor-like, his hands and feet are clawed and have a retractable webbing between them when not in use.
Like other Jauxi, Esca’s mouth has slits on either side of his jaw that allow his mouth to bite larger prey, and the muscles of his jaw are fairly strong, giving him a firm jawline. His eyes are moderately wide, with two sets of eyelids, more fleshy ones outside and a second clearer “lense” like lid underneath it that allow him to see underwater. Thin even lips generally don’t smile beneath a thin, somewhat stout nose on his angular face where ridges slightly protrude on his cheekbones and browline, giving him an almost perpetual furrow. His ears are long, almost elf-like, and have evidence of damage along their edges, scarred and ripped over time.
His ‘hair’ if it can be called that consists of a loose set of soft spines on his head, thin enough to feel a little bit like thick cords of hair, normally pushed back or knotted with a cord. Although that often remains unseen as he usually has his helmet on.
Esca is the only one of his podmates that does not possess a tail.
PERSONAUsually quiet and calculating, Esca tends to be more reactionary more often than not. He’s calm under pressure, not prone to outbursts or speaking out of turn when it isn’t necessary. Esca is generally respectful in nature, not overbearing or making more of a show of himself, as he usually doesn’t have to. That air of quiet confidence stands for a reason, he’s also never one to reveal his entire hand, and his eyes have a predatory look to them, always looking for the edge, how he can best get the upper hand without sacrificing too much in return. He fights to survive, and for as long as he’s lived, it’s the only life he’s known. He’ll rise to a necessary challenge, and won’t back down.
He doesn’t believe things are inherently evil, but he lives to serve his purpose, to hunt prey and bring them to a desired destination for the right pay. Esca is quite good at ignoring or circumventing distracting tendencies and deal with his frustrations like anyone would - by punching them in the face.
Esca thinks less about what good he can do for himself than for the good he can do for his people.
- Things -- Generally good with ropes, knots, and various types of bondage. Usually treats capturing live specimens as if he’s hunting prey and usually refers to them as such. Esca still prefers convenient methods of doing so, usually carrying a set of energy bracers to cuff those that meet the criteria.
- Loves shiny things, and surefire ways to get his attention is to wiggle anything that’s shiny. He will pounce on it faster than you could say ‘Fetch’. And if it jingles, it’s a bonus.
- Most other creatures/pet types are not fond of him. And he has a tendency to hiss at anything he dislikes.
- Is an excellent swimmer and climber, favoring both heights and the depths when the moment’s suite him. He likes to pounce on his prey when they leasts suspect it and aims for the throat, clinging to them before death rolling them.
MAGIC/ABILITIESJAUXI-
Within the depths of the dense jungles and swamps of Aquila, once thrived a reptilian species known as the Jauxi. Intelligent hunters and at once top predators, Jauxi are usually lean and tall, with ridges and scale collections for protection, clawed hands and feet and most of them have long alligator-like tails. They adapted to survive in both the swampy depths at the planet’s surface to the canopies of the trees above. They have webbed hands and feet with ridged patterns along the underside of them in order to cling to surfaces, have the ability to cloak their scales and blend into their environments, saliva that allows them to heal wounds more easily, and unhinging jaws that allow them to sink into larger prey.
Their scale patterns come in a range of colors, anything from red to neon green. While they cannot breath underwater, they are capable of holding their breath for long periods of time, and have two pairs of eyelids, fleshy pairs that go over their secondary lense to allow them to see under water. They are sensitive to minute changes in things like wind direction, even under water and have a strong sense of smell.
HEADHUNTER -
Esca was trained from a young age to capture and collect living sentients. People hunting, as it is. He is armored and geared with advanced tracking tech, energy bracers, shock nets and electrical staves, a glaive, and plasma cannon, to aid in hunting those that try to evade him. He’s generally used his skills to make money bounty hunting, captured lost slaves (or traded some into it) if the money was good enough, but more so his place is to bring live healthy specimens of other species for breeding programs back to the Enclave.
RELATIONSHIPSEsca has no more attachment to his pod mother or pod siblings than the loose affiliation with them.
HISTORYAquila was once a beautiful world, rife with life and darkness. The canopies above had large tree cities, with layers and layers of intertwining boughs and trunks, and the lower the levels the darker the depths, what with the trees being so thick above. The Jauxi civilization possessed advanced tech and traded with many other worlds, although never branching out very far from their home planet. Aquila had everything they needed, but of course what once was cannot always be. A parasite poisoned the waters so vital to their world, infected their species and killed them painfully and quickly. When no cure could be found, those that were uninfected fled off world onto large ships in a mass exodus.
They did not thrive, and the lack of genetic diversity, made it even more difficult. Different methods were tried to preserve their species, and few attempts to colonize on hostile worlds have been moderately successful - if they can be called even that. To bear the cross that the end is nigh surely is a weight heavier than even Atlas could bear, but that doesn’t stop them from trying,
Esca was born like the rest of his pod siblings, grown in a vat and all share the same basic genetic code of his pod mother and father. Once he came of age, he was trained to hunt and capture - generally alive (but not always). Younglings are generally separated from a young age after being raised into what faction they would best served based on what aptitudes they tend to possess most. To serve the Enclave is considered the highest honor and for Esca, he hopes to earn his honor, and bring his people back from the brink of extinction.
