Okay, here, in all her.... well, 'glory' isn't really the word. Anyways, here's Zail:
Name: Zail Hek'ram
Race: Naga (semi-mutant)
Age: 23
Height: ?? (Roughly 20' total length human/snake parts. Tends to keep her head at about 7' off of the ground.)
Weight: ~1200 lbs
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Yellow-green, slit pupils
Zail is a naga of somewhat uncommonly large size. As such, she was generally considered superior by others in her age range, and a challenging upstart by her elders. Not liking this mishmash of conflicting opinion, she had a tendency to avoid others while 'growing up'. Despite a significant lack of written material in naga communities, she eventually managed to develop some talent in healing magics. Having to fend for herself for the most part, as with any other naga, she learned to defend herself and catch her own foot from an early age, and, while not amazing at it, is competent when it comes to hunting and tracking.
Once her growth slowed, signalling her arrival at maturity, she decided to set out on her own. Uncertain why she is so large for her age, she eventually came to the conclusion that htere might be something in scientific or magical studies made by other intelligent races that would indicate a possible reason. As such, she is always on the lookout for information and libraries gathered by the humanoid races. This has resulted in her acquiring a good deal of miscellaneous, random knowledge, though she has yet to learn any significant amount, or the reason for the way she is. She acts as a mercenary, hoping to be able to earn enough money to purchase some of the more interesting books she's heard about (or at least copies), and is well aware that, as a naga, she really wouldn't fit well into humanoid society in a domestic or commercial position.
She understands that most humanoids have a different morality system from herself and other naga, and, while she is careful to respect that, Zail does not really understand these moralities. She is prone to questioning such things, particularly the very 'wasteful' ritual of burying the deceased. When seh is around humanoids, she does what she can to try and fit into their society, though she is not always successful.
In combat, she wields twin scimitar. Usually, she will use one to attack and the other for defense, or will use just one of them, though she has trained some in using both simultaneously on the offense. She also has some training with the quarterstaff, though she does not carry one with her. Having trained herself in first aid, she usually implements it in tandem with her healing magics.

Armor: To represent the fact that Zail, being significantly larger than standard humanoids, can simply take more damage, she has natural armor of 15. This armor applies to every kind of damage that is dealt to the body, with the potential exception of certain psionics. Other exceptions are up to the GM.
Note: As most of her is snake, Zail is largely physically incapable of falling down.
Note: As part snake, Zail's senses work slightly differently than standard. Her eyesight is very poor, mostly registering movement and the presence or absence of light. If it's not moving, she probably won't notice it very well. However, her sense of smell is extremely acute, and like most snakes, she can also sense heat to a degree. Areas where everything is very warm or very cold can dull this sense, though, sort of like background noise.
Note: Due to her largely serpentine form, Zail can engage in climbing or winding maneuvers that allow her to pass where a humanoid might not be able. On the other hand, she tends to occupy an area for longer, as she trails behind herself by roughly 15 feet.
Note: Zail is capable of unhinging her jaw and, like a snake, can swallow whole things larger than her head. Her upper limit would likely be a somewhat large cow. While she has learned to eat in 'bites' like humans, she tends to forget this, so mealtimes can be somewhat disturbing.

*note: I am uncertain of numbers other than costs on these, so DM discretion will be used*
{Healing Magic 2} Dewound (8 MP) Heals HP
{Healing Magic 3} Detox (5 MP) Removes poison
{Scimitar 1} Slashstrike (4 TP) Zail lunges her torso forwards like a striking snake, adding that speed and considerable momentum from her mass to the swing of one of her scimitar.
{Scimitar 3} Wave Guard (8 TP) Zail swings both of her scimitar very fast, emanating a faint wave of energy that orbits her briefly like a boomerang, providing a slight deflection along her whole body.
SPECIAL: Zail possesses venom glands attatched to her (mostly retractable) fangs that allow her to inflict a paralytic bite, usually used to keep her weekmeal from trying to get away while she is eating. Its effects last 3-4 minutes (3 rounds) and she can store up to 3 bites worth of venom at a time. She can expend 6 TP to generate one bite worth of venom, which is then stored.
{Paralytic Venom} Venomous Bite (1 use of poison) Zail bites an exposed area on the target, sinking her fangs in and injecting a poison that fcauses the target to completely lose all voluntary muscle control for roughly 3 minutes. During this time, the victim cannot do anything requiring conscious action of the body.
