Crushed beneath her wave

Abilities:
-Immunity (Immune to all natural poisons)
-Shed/Molt (Injured skin peels away and the skin underneath is completely healed. This only works for skin injuries.)
-Chatter Bug (Ability to speak to all insects)
-Force Field (creates a bubble shield around character that blocks all material physical and physical magical attacks by degenerating them into nothing. Attacks with a higher post count will be less effective but still be able to pass through.)
-Poison Radiation (Creates an invisible electromagnetic field that can 'poison' anyone who comes into contact with it, paralyzing them completely without a counter ability. Extends up to fifteen feet but is only lethal within the closest yard.)
-Teleport (Ability to teleport to the location of a random ally.)
-Digpa Rusrin (the ability to drastically increase speed and physical strength. While activated, the character will have a blue glint as though they are in moonlight.)
-Hive Mind (Character become’s the central mind for all animals the same type as their true form in the area and are able to control them via collective consciousness. While activated, any physiological magic with a lower post count will be ineffective.)
-Exterminate (creates a physical blue electromagnetic ‘laser beam’ that is fatal to the touch. By nature it is shield defying.)
Gifts:
-Blue has received a Starburst Pendant from the Gods.
This pendant is solid gold on a thick gold chain and is the shape of a burning sun. When grasped in Blue's hand it will activate a contained supernova that destroys everything in his line of sight, leaving scorched earth behind in a circular area with Blue at the centre. If the pendant is lost or stolen it is valuable simply because it is crafted from solid gold, however only Blue can activate the supernova ability contained within it.
From a life that was a simple one
So pull yourself together girl
And have a little fun.
So pull yourself together girl
And have a little fun.
Appearance:
Human- Blue is quite tall; he stands at 6’0” even. He has shaggy, dirty blonde hair that falls over his eyes and to his shoulders and his eyes are honey colored like a scorpion’s. His skin has been baked a warm light brown by the constant sun of the Boil. His arms and shoulders are very muscular from days of working first with archery, then with a crossbow and dagger..
Unfortunately, Blue is missing his left arm from the elbow down and he keeps the stub wrapped up in black cloth to keep it from being damaged. The lack of this limb is the reason he made the switch from the two-handed bow to the one-handed crossbow, which he keeps in a case at his side. The dagger is in the heel of his massive, brown combat boots. He is dressed to blend in with sand; his pants are usually baggy and light brown, they also tuck into his boots and are synched with a sliver sash. He wears a sleeveless shirt under a sandy-brown trench coat. The inside of his coat is blue but he almost never wears it open so you would never be able to tell. He also has a blue bandana with a large, silver ‘B’ on the corner that he wears on his head.
Scorpion (True)- A 1 inch yellow-brown insect with a thin tail and a tiny, delicate claw. His eyes are honey colored in this form as well. Deathstalkers are one of the (if not the) most deadly scorpions in the world. Their stings cause extreme pain, fever, convulsions, coma, paralysis, and, in some cases, almost instant death. Those who do not die when their respiratory system and heart shut down usually are left in a coma as their nerves stop transmitting signals from the brain. As a shifter, Blue is also equipped with this deadly toxin in this form.
Snake- Blue's third form as the world's most poisonous land snake - the Inland Taipan. He is almost 12 feet long (3.7 meters), although very slender. His eyes are always honey colored but his scales change from olive, reddish-brown, to dark brown depending on the season. A bite from Blue in this form equates death. The venom will first dissolve the muscle tissue of the bitten area then work into the blood. It attacks the respiratory system and also prevents the blood from clotting so any attempt to bleed out the wound will result in bleeding to death. A person can live for two hours at most.
Half form (human/Scorpion)-His human form with hard, golden skin. His eyes are solidly honey colored. He has a to-scale tail in this form; around 6 feet long and without venom. There are ridges under either arm/stub (along his ribcage) where new legs are starting to form. When he speaks, his voice sounds very raspy.
Half Form (Scorpion/snake)-A 12 foot long yellow-brown snake with armor plating along his back and a scorpion’s stinger. His eyes are a solid color in this form as well. He has no venom although his fangs and stinger can cause quite a lot of damage as it is.
Half form (Snake/human)-His human form but with a sheen of Taipan coloring and snake eyes. Blue has fangs that are too long to fit in his mouth and grow down past his chin (no venom). He has a forked tongue and no other teeth so speech is very limited. His legs are fused together into a snake’s lower half.

Personality: Blue is a strong person who tends to be fairly easygoing. He's used to hardship and his long life in the Boil as an assassin has made him level headed in even stressful situations. Blue has a fairly laid back personality and while he's pretty tightly wound he usually is lazy enough to avoid most confrontations. He's had a rough enough life and, in his mind, he's figured he may as well just go along with everything and he only becomes aggressive and combative when either his life or the lives of his loved ones are in danger.
Blue is powerful, magically and physically stronger than many people, and even more so considering the dragon he has backing him. Even so he would rather go unnoticed by most and be left to his own devices and he would like it if his companions did the same.
The apple now is sweet
Oh much sweeter than it ought to be
Another little bite

Another little bite
History: As tends to be the case with most desert dwelling creatures, Blue was born in the Boil. He was the second of four children to the scorpion shifter assassins Juraj and Zala. He had an older sister, Elena, and younger twin brothers named Leon and Uri. Interestingly enough, Blue was the only Deathstalker shifter out of them and no one is entirely sure where it came from. All four of the siblings were trained in their parent’s trade but Elena was by far the best at it. In fact, Leon and Uri were both far superior at the trade than Blue as well. The problem being that Blue was far too gentle for his own good. His parent’s quickly grew tired off their son’s reluctance and he was sent away to live with his Grandmother’s teacher who was also an assassin, although she was a Sand Fox and not a scorpion. Blue was 15 at this time.
His Grandmother’s teacher, Violet, was very good at training Blue and he quickly grew to be stronger and faster than his siblings. At least according to Violet, Blue never saw his siblings while he was with her. Blue became a master at poisons and his preferred method of strike was a poison tipped arrow. He struck hard and fast and he was out before anyone had a chance to notice him. It was these early assassinations that earned him the title ‘Deathstalker’ as the attacks closely resembled the ones by the animal he took after.
Blue was the perfect assassin and an asset to his family. Violet had taught him to never back down and to obey orders until he was a completely different person. He became more socially awkward, angry, aggressive, and hostile. His parents and Violet were all pleased with his progress and when he was 46, Blue was returned to his siblings and parents.
His siblings, with whom he had once been very close, were excited at the prospect of his return but the reunion was not as happy as they had hoped. In place of their kind and gentle brother they found a cold-hearted killer that was a far better assassin than all of them combined. He regarded them coldly and he never bothered to make a friendly approach. This disturbed them and they began trying to bring their old brother back but nothing ever worked.
Even after tragedy struck and Leon died from a snake bite when Blue was 52, Blue remained hostile and hardly reacted while the other two were grieving. Uri’s personality altered after that point and he threw himself into his work without regard to his own safety. This left Elena as the keeper of both her brothers. She tried her hardest to bring them back but there was little she could do. Blue had long since disengaged and Uri wanted to be with his twin. When Blue was 74, Elena was 82, and Uri was 68, they went on a joint assassination under order of their parents.
The mission failed and Elena saved both her brothers but ended up being captured herself. Blue took Uri and fled but they were determined to get her out. The area was well secured and the brothers tried to break in but they were unsuccessful for a good while. Their parents were unconcerned by their daughter’s enslavement but they did not protest their sons activities as both continued to perform assassinations.
When Blue and Uri finally broke in two years later, they discovered that they were too late. Their sister had cut her wrists and killed herself, having give up on escaping. Blue carried her corpse out and the two of them buried her far away, in a place they have kept secret to this day. After that, Uri threw himself into his work while Blue became less and less motivated and he eventually stopped performing to his parent’s satisfaction.
Blue was disowned when he was 104 after a mistake led to the loss of his arm. Uri attempted to leave with him but Blue stopped him and made him stay with their family. Blue returned to live with Violet, who by this time was very old. She essentially kicked him out and died shortly there after.
Since then, Blue has preformed work as a guide for caravans. In recent years, Blue has decided to make an effort to become less socially awkward.

Roleplay Sample:
The wind had picked up. That was never a good sign. “Th're’s 'n oasis a f'w mil's due Eas',” Blue told the caravan owner. “We mus' make f'r there. Tell your men t' cover th'ir faces an' eyes.”
“Why?” The Owner asked and his beady eyes flashed with distrust. He was a high class human and he did not take kindly to being spoken to by a shifter so freely. Besides, a detour now could potentially shave days of his trip and he had important items to deliver.
“Th're’s a san'storm comin'.”
“When?”
“S'on.” Blue said because he honestly could not tell. But he could feel the air pressure becoming heavier and there was the scent of ozone in the air, just barely detectable over the smells of the caravan beasts. All were signs of the inevitable storm and Blue felt tense. Sandstorms could be dangerous and he wanted to get to shelter as soon as possible. The Owner still didn’t look convinced but he turned back to the caravan and called out something in a language Blue didn’t understand.
The men whispered to each other before they spurred their animal to move faster. In the wrong direction. “Sir?” Blue asked. “Tha’s no' Eas'.”
“I know,” The Owner said and he turned one of the rings on his fat fingers. “But I think you’re lying. I will have my men quicken their pace but that is it. We will go to the planed oasis.”
“Tha' is 'n incredibly ba' idea.”
“Silence, Shifter!” The man snapped before he clambered into a carriage. “I have no need of your services any longer.” The beasts were spurred into motion and the carriage flew off down the almost invisible trail. Blue knew that he easily could have captured that cart and killed the man inside for insulting him and he once would have but Blue just let the long line pass him by. They would soon see that he had not been lying for themselves.
As soon as the last cart vanished into a cloud of dust, Blue darted down the dune and ran for the area he knew to be a safe haven. He took his bandanna and wrapped it around his nose and mouth as he went so as to keep himself from inhaling and sand. Worst come to worst, he would just transform but then he would have to dig his things out from the sand later and that was a big hassle.
Blue ran through the dunes and soon he vanished into a sea of sand.
