**Verval the Tiger** (pronounced "veer-VAHL") is a soldier that serves the Poison Clan of Dantamu.

## Physical Description

A lean tiger who stands a good deal over three feet tall, Verval has a short muzzle with a triangular nose, medium-sized, somewhat pointed ears that stand upright, and a long, slender tail. He additionally has a large chunk missing from his left ear.

His fur is primarily antique fuchsia in color, with a white muzzle, eye markings, chest, stomach, and tail tip, as well as many wavy black stripes decorating his back, thighs, tail, shoulders and face; his ears are black as well. He has no hair on his head, instead having a tuft of longer fur, and his eyes are Naples yellow in color.

## Abilities

Like the other Poison Clan soldiers, Verval is a fairly well-rounded fighter, who primarily excels in close-range combat; he wields a bardiche as his weapons of choice, a type of polearm that allows him to keep a reasonable distance away from his enemy, and the sharp, heavy blade allows for strong and dangerous swings. Despite his supposed lack of defined musculature, his physical strength is considerably higher than it looks, primarily due to his extensive training as a soldier; he can lift up to 300 lbs. without assistance.

Verval is a fairly adept toxikinetic as well, and primarily wields low to mid-tier melee techniques of the Poison element, with his ranged/energy-based options being a bit weaker. Being a tiger, he has access to sharp teeth and claws that make formidable natural weapons in a pinch, and he also has keen senses of both sight and hearing, as well as being a strong swimmer.

### Strengths/Resistances

Verval is relatively resistant to the Element of Poison. He is also quite agile, able to dodge slow-moving opponents and attacks with ease.

### Weaknesses

Verval is weak to the Element of Nature and, to a lesser extent, the Elements of Earth and Wind. His defenses aren't anything special, therefore he mostly relies on his agility to try and evade potentially devastating attacks.

## Personality

A rather abrasive and cocky sort, Verval openly speaks his mind whether the people around him like it or not, and this can make it somewhat difficult to get along with him; he can be a bit close-minded at times, and doesn't really like having his viewpoints challenged. He also has a bit of a temper, and becomes quite passive-aggressive when pushed, but despite his brusque nature, he typically doesn't resort to physical violence when sufficiently angered.

He has a strong hatred for Robians and half-Robians, believing the latter to be 'freaks of nature'.
