Tamati_MA

Monster is a closed species created by (and form on app drawn by) _{thanks so much for letting me buy one, zany! Ugh, I am so self conscious of my art beside yours...it'll need to be updated soon. *sobs*, but pressed for time and all that...}

Name: Tamati Piripi

Age: 17

Height: 6'0, 6'5" (tail included)

Monster type/species: Maw (species by Zanyzarah) A predatory species that eats from a large mouth called a "maw" located on their entire torso. Though not the smartest, they are a dreadful species to find yourself alone with when they're hungry...which is quite often.

Grade: Freshman

Glamor item: Belt
- glamor skill: Masque of the Dead: By concentrating carefully and focusing on their glamour a student can appear as a member of the dead to other dead beings. This ability has no effect on other non-undead/dead supernatural beings or mortals, but to the dead the student will appear as one of their own, and will even have minor cosmetic illusions appropriate to the dead to match. Any use of any other abilities cancels this effect. This dead form is unique and unchangeable (as in once you decide what their dead form looks like that's it).

Geodeling
Minor Skill: Limited Tremorsense: A Geodeling doesn't really see, but can feel vibrations in the ground to sense it's surroundings. A Geodeling can sense an object or being within a 10 foot radius around it as long as the thing in question is in contact with a surface the Geodeling touches.
Water Sprite:
Minor Skill: Manipulate Water: A water sprite can manipulate water through the air as long as she has access to a pool or source of it. They mostly use this in helping clean the school and can perform minor chores because of it. Also they inherently know where the closes body of drinkable water is.
Soul Wisp:
Pet minor Skill: Ghost Tongue
The Soul Wisp has the ability to speak with any ghost without the need of sharing a language. This ability does not compel a ghost to answer however, or to answer truthfully.

Natural weapons: giant torso mouth (maw), grappling, large tail

Trained weapons: none.

Weakness:
Poor eyesight: small, wide set eyes make it difficult to see in monster form. In human form, he'll need to get used to his new eyes. It'd give him headaches after a while...((not gonna give him glasses though))

Unintelligent: a cunning opponent would have the upper hand if they thought quick enough. For Tamati, if it doesn't come by instinct...he's going to have trouble keeping up.

Mortality: he can be killed as many other mortals would be (though you'll have to really go for it: see sturdy body) and he does have a terrible weak spot located in his mouth...

Major Skills:
Enhanced senses: His sense of smell and hearing are adapted to assist him in hunting while in monster form. They are not enhanced while in human form.

Magical resistance:- Usually applied only to things he eats-- eating a magical object will cause little to no harm when usually it would. Injesting a stronger magical object will usually result in symptoms similar to food poisoning. Human form carries over some resistance to glamors and illusion magic, and he may glimpse past them. (basically if we're in the same grade level)) This does not mean he can see passed the glamors students are given. Those are too strong.

Devour to Conquer: He can eat nearly anything he can fit into his maw. Inorganic things may pose difficulties, like rocks or plastic or even metal. These things obviously provide no nutrition and just use up energy trying to digest, so he doesn't do this often, but it is still possible.

Minor Skills:
Sturdy body: While he can be injured like any other creature, he can take a lot of hits before his stamina, overall strength, and willpower give out.

Hunters instincts: Though he's not the smartest crayon in the tree, he's got enough instinct to hunt and to keep him alive. His inexperience with the hunt during childhood has left him as the runt of the litter, but it made him just the slightest bit more adaptive in his hunting technique.

Tongue twisting: If Tamati finds he's eating something he dislikes, he'll twist it into something new in his mouth before regurgitating it. A steel pipe is twisted into a circle, for instance. ((if his intelligence was higher, he'd be considered artistic, but for now he's only playing with his "food"))

*Lesser Aquatic Adaptation: This monster has the ability to hold their breath for extended periods of time under water, up to a full hour (that's almost as long as some blue whales). In addition the monster can now see in water without goggles or other viewing apparatus.

*Resolve of Stone: This monster has earned the ability to keep cool and collected under pressure (even if they don't show it on the outside). When there back is to the wall they have the determination to keep on going, giving them the ability to shrug off mundane discouragements and take twice as long to fatigue physically.

*Veiled Truths: The duplicitous nature of the Jaguar God has rubbed off on you, for better or for worse. You find that when telling a lie your tongue flows much more freely, and when hiding the truth keeping a straight face is much easier. While this does not give you the supernatural ability to deceive you now seem to know just how to honey your words when telling falsehoods and people are much more likely to believe you.

Personality:
Tamati's interaction with humans is very limited and his speech is lacking due to this. However, his comprehension is okay based mostly on body language. Tamati's personality is found in is own body language. In this way he is very expressive. He likes jokes, though it may take him a while to catch the punch line, yet he dislikes trickery so beware what sort of "joke" you play. He is a violent young man beneath it all; a survivalist who's sole thought is how things will work in his favor....if only he could understand all these new things around him...

Character's Background: Tamati's parents were gunned down by human hunters who didn't take kindly to them eating the town's children. His two older brothers raised him, though from that point on everything would be a competition. They didn't so much as show him how to hunt, so much as hunt him and see if he survived. It was because-though he was the youngest- he'd already been pinned by a female maw. The two were jealous of their brother, so much so that they even chased his female away. They'd hunt for themselves and share none of the spoils. Sometimes they'd rough house with him, and he'd wonder if they were trying to practice their own form of pinning. Tamati ate what he could, when he could in peace...but it became clear to him that if he'd ever survive he'd need to leave his brothers behind.

On the night he tried to leave, one brother- Kyota- caught him and tried to stop him. Tamati needed to leave to live, but his brother refused and pinned him down as if he were to eat or kill him. Confused and starved...Tamati beat him to it. Thin, but scrappy, Tamati rolled his brother over and bit into his sides like a large rabid dog. Their other brother did nothing but sleep as they growled and chewed at each other. Tamati always wondered if he didn't stir because he knew that Kyota had planned to kill him, and only expected the fight to be that very action. Kyota reared up to stomp Tamati's skull into the ground just as Tamati punched upwards into his brother's very Maw. He hit the roof of his mouth and Kyota withdrew, sobbing. Seeing his chance, Tamati bolted away from the remains of his family, though he knew that Kyota would never survive a blow like that over night.

Four years have passed since then, and Tamati has done nothing but eat his way through a world he's never known. On his culinary journey, he recieved an invitation... a trail of delicious lamb meat all the way up to the entrance of a strange structure named... Monster Academy.



Roleplay Info: graveyard shift, 5 nights a week

Roleplay example:Tamati cracked its skull and lifted the head to drain the fluids slowly. When the only thing left was bone and brain, he tossed it into his gaping Maw and crunched on it like a peanut. The sound was loud and the other life in the forest gave him a large birth, not willing to challenge him for his meat. He was crouched over the large bird, reaching for the rest of the carcass and pulling it into his drooling maw, when he heard a singing sort of tune. His hearing made him tilt his head upward, pointing to his 3 o' clock, but the sun was spilling in through the canopy and it dotted his eyesight. "Who sings? For me?" He stuffed the rest of the bird within him and stood on his hind legs as he chewed. His hands knit together behind his head and he listened for the tune again. "Where? Sing Again. I like."
