Solistadesfaris

(The pic is more or less her with lightly different horns and foreclaws. Also her setting is not set in stone. She can be used in a modern setting with magic or even sci-fi. The only common thread would be in any setting she is a person skilled in healing and was a normal human prior.)

Name: Solista Des Faris

Height:9ft4

Age:334

Species: Chimera taur

Profession: Solista was a normal woman who had a love of alchemy and magics. She studied the craft and became incredibly good at it. Her potions held in high regard able to change hair color and heal cuts to cleansing the most foul poisons and even regrow limbs or repair mortal wounds. She charged whatever one could afford. If a person was poor she charged near nothing, rich abit more then average. Her main concern was helping people. She eventually was hired to help find a cure for a king who was failing in health. When she got there it turned out to be a ruse and she was captured.

She woke up in a cell deep in the bowels of the castle. She was swiftly told why she had been taken. The king wanted power. He wanted her to turn her craft to making potions to curse and harm. To enhance his soldiers and unlock immortality for himself. She tried to refuse but was forced to work under the lash. She did as he asked and his kingdom swelled in power. As time passed the king got more complacent and she was monitored less and less. It allowed her to experiment in secret to try and find her own way out. While the king thought she was working on a immortality potion for him she was working on something to try and help her get out.

By the time the king was in his 80s and old and frail he began to push her for it more and more. She of course did not have it and the potions she had given to enhance his soldiers she had made a altered version that would cleanse them of their power when drank. It was during the time when the last shipment of the tainted potions left that she made her move. She ingested her own potion to give immortality. Her youth returning to her flesh while the scars from the punishments remained. She was going for more then just youth she wanted more. Her form altering more as she swelled in height and formed extra arms. Her lower form balooned out forming powerful foreclaws and legs and a long thick tail. Fur and scale flowing along her lower half as she became a chimera a mix of human, wolf and dragon.

She tore her door down and made her way out. She laid waste to the castle and the gaurds who tried to stop her. Only leaving after devouring the prison master who had hurt her and roasting the king alive in his bed. She left dissapearing into the thick forest and hid to plan her next move. She first left the kingdom and would find a remote forest to call home. Setting up a house and home she began to settle into a life. She did not see another human being for a long while. It was not until 239 yrs after the ordeal she saw one. A young boy injured and her old habits ignited as she helped him. The boy telling a story about her in his village and at first folks thought she was just a folk tale. Eventually as the village became a town the locals began to realize she was real and instead of being afraid wanting to harm her they were grateful to her and respected her. As she used her potions to help with the sick and injured and so on they began to revere her considering her a blessing. The villagers seeking her for aid or to chat and talk. She tends to travel about a fair bit looking for new ingredients and items to experiment with and for the kingdoms and realms less biased against "monsters" shes still sought for aid with her potion skills. She still knows the way to make a potion to make one like herself so is sought after for that knowledge.

Abilities: First is immortallity. Its not prefect immortallity just partail as if you chop her head off she will die. It just grants her immunity to aging, disease and poisons and death magics. Her other ability is enhanced strength and endurance and healing. She as said prior is skilled in potions and elixers both to aid or harm. She can breath fire or spit a poison as well. Her tail maws bite can deliver a powerful toxin. She can ub a person and make them like herself as well.

Her tail: For those who are curious about how her tail works I figured I would give a idea of it. It is not sentient and would be considered at best partly self aware but in a simplistic sense. She can freely control it, see and smell and taste through it. It is her limb at the end of the day. That being said as mentioned prior it does have its own base intelligence. Generally its tied to her subconcous. It might hiss at a person she dislikes, snap at them if a person appears in front of it as well as show affection to those she likes. It is best described as a self moving limb when she allows it to be that is tied to her emotions and so on. She can also eat and drink with it. Her tail is a thick and powerfully built but inside it is a tunnel akin to a throat and the base is above normal in elasticity allowing her to send thing to her belly. Its not her ideal method to eat large meals that are human sized or a little bigger but if pushed she can use it for that. Generally she has used it to hold a person prisoner or if they wished in the tail length as a bulge and rarely to eat someone with but again can if desired by her. She just needs a moment or two to recover after the act.
