The Twins (Snatcher and Viper)

The twins, preparing for their next hunt

## Backstory

WIP (until I have the time to work it or if I don't feel lazy)

(so uh... until I get some idea of what to put here... well hello there, my lil' friend! Generally I wouldn't be using this wiki for just a bit of chatter, but while I have absolutely noting better to do, here we are. As for now y'all can expect I'll be updating these gremlins' page occasionally, and while that's what I'll be doing as for now, I do have two more things to create, one of them y'all better get ready for...)

(also yes, I still can't decide whether to call Viper's ability venom or poison. Nowadays I lean to venom given the way it works irl so...)

## Personality and likes/dislikes

### Notable personality traits

* They have a bit of an obssession with stealing shiny objects. A little bad habit they can't help with
* Normally they possess a shy and reserved nature towards strangers. Rare to see them start to like and become much friendlier with someone they barely know
* Absolute food lovers. Nothing makes them produce more serotonin in their little brains than eating something they really like
* They tend to become very anxious and stressed very easily
* Their bond as brother and sister is really strong. They'll interact and work together as much as possible
* WIP

### Likes and dislikes

* Likes:
	+ Food in general (specially most kinds of meat)
	+ Getting bellyrubs
	+ Copying others
	+ Any source of heat like chimneys or the sun
	+ Basking in the sun (as said just recently)
	+ Sleeping
	+ Taking care of each other
* Dislikes:
	+ The sea, specially if they're inside it (a little trauma turned onto a phobia)
	+ Seafood
	+ Loud noises
	+ Getting scolded (for them it sounds like a threat. They're simply not used to)
	+ Wine (they often confuse it with Coke)
	+ Getting touched in the neck, shoulders or back
	+ Staying separated one from the other for too long

## Class and abilities

### **Class**

* **Attack/Support** - even with their frailness, Snatcher and Viper are not an easy target: they rely on their speed to dodge, move, flank and ambush foes, wearing them down until they can guarantee a fatal blow or take the opportunity to run away. While the occasions were they're involved in battle alongisde any possible allies may be rare, they sure give a great impression, keeping foes distracted with their speed and surprise attacks, and in best case scenario weakening them enough for a stronger ally to deal the finishing blow.

### Abilities

* **In general**
	+ **Increased agility:** to make for their lack of resistance and strength, the twins' mobility and reaction time is greatly increased, outrunning most masketeers and wraiths with ease, and giving them the opportunity to dodge and weave through most attacks and retaliate just as fast.
* **Snatcher**
	+ **Pierce:** glowy energy that sometimes surrounds Snatcher's armblades and claws, turning them much sharper than usual and letting them deal serious damage to armored foes as if they had nothing protecting them. Pierce let's Snatcher's attacks a chance of bypassing half (if not most) of the armor that foes may have. Unarmored foes will instead have a chance to take increased damage from Snatcher (basically some sort of critical hit).
* **Viper**
	+ **Venom:** Viper's weapon, claws and "fangs" are impregnated in a paralyzing venom she constantly produces, and how bad are the effects of it will vary on how much of the venom manages to come in contact with the foe. This gives her a chance of inflicting Venom, and its effects will increase either if Viper hits the foe multiple times or if she manages to deal a critical/fatal hit. The effects will range from a simple reduction in movement, to temporal paralysis of the affected part of the body.

## Trivia

* The Twins' spirit animal is based on the Guirivilo (roughly translated to "Snake fox"), a mythological, river-dwelling creature from south american cultures, with an habit of luring and ambushing unsuspecting prey into it's territory.
	+ Legends also tell that they possess huge strength. Unfortunately, strength is what Snatcher and Viper usually lack, just being strong enough to hold their own weight to climb structures or for one of the twins to be carried around by the other. Other than that, they're squishy little gremlins.
* Snatcher and Viper's languague is very limited, consisting mainly on a series of grunts, howls, hums, hisses, whimps and a few non-verbal methods to communicate with each other as well as with others, usually ignoring the facts that said others possibly cannot understand a single thing they try to express.
	+ However and thanks to their natural curiosity, they sometimes try to mimic and imitate the behavior of others, including actually trying to talk properly. So far their vocabulary is pretty limited to around 50 or more words, most of which they don't know what they mean.
* Viper has no resistances to the effects of her own venom. Same with Snatcher.
	+ Sometimes she accidentally bites herself and injects venom onto her tongue and mouth (kind of fun to see her move with her tongue or lower jaw dangling for a little while).
* Despite their fear to the sea and consequently, the ocean, they can still sometimes be seen in places nearby it for no apparent reason.
