Naga

Naga, slowly adopted as the name is to be, are a mysterious race of an unsure, undetermined background that many dispute as demon ilk; all current variant are known to have been hatchling and descendant of self-proclaimed Serpent Queen, Ssvii Amarulet. Naga are a physically imposing race that often tower over the human and beastkin inhabiting Agartha, owing great boon and great restriction alike to their human-esque upper body, and very obvious serpentine lower half.
*Naga have an innate -20RPP cost on birth and suffer no racial penalties or restrictions.
*Naga are given an invisible weapon on spawn and are not to equip any further statistical gear. If you have appropriate purely aesthetic things, that is fine.
*They spawn in at age 16 with 115RPL, representing their ready development and quickness to mature.
*There are two general variety of Naga. Slower and stockier, and the more nimble and thin-bodied.
*You will choose between a stating stat bonus of +40 vit or+25vit/30agi at no RPP cost to represent this.
*Racial tree: Scales (10RPP), Noxious Cloud (5RPP or -5 off of Poison), and Giant Form at 200RPL for 15RPP
==Physiology==
A Naga's scales are smooth and very resilient, owing to a unique oil they constantly secrete and a very hardy natural make. Much like dragonkin, these are capable of hardening in response to trauma, and have a natural affinity to poison, as their mouth is almost constantly secreting or storing some amount of very potent acidic make. These makings are physiologically very standard serpent.
Serpentkin produce asexually, and hatchlings often reach full physical maturity in as little as two to three years, showing rapid advancement in both mind and body before naturally plateauing. Though they learn all magic easily, a Naga is born magically mute, and struggles through their first year in almost all cases, learning first how to control their own poison. Some lesser Naga die as a result of failure to harness their own production of acid.
== Society ==
Most are prone to attach themselves early as they are impressionable to simple concepts that will drive them forwards into a healthy adulthood. Power, wealth, status and recognition. Few Naga will be exempt from an innate ambition to grow and learn and to have more to a nigh-obsessive level, but they are far from mindless and bestial in these pursuits. Naga are careful, clever, and often deceitful creatures with tongues sharp enough to match their claws. Few in number and prone to prideful and predatory behavior even to their own kin as well as being slower to reproduce because of a low successful hatch rate, Naga will never have a strong number in terms of overall population.
Despite these things, much of this elusive race of creatures remains still a mystery. The world is yet to see too many, and many may not yet even believe they exist at all, or that they are a glimmer in history quick to come and also quick to go.
