Recently came back and was thrilled to find my Jaculus up for adoption. I adopted him back and am putting him in here again.
Name: Jaculus; named for a breed of amphiptere that is said to drop out of trees, spear-like, and impale those below it.
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Breed: Pegasus (Volcano Order)
Appearance: Jaculus is a cross betwixt an earthling and an amphiptere (a winged, feathered snake). His body is covered with rich blue scales, and instead of a mane he has a sickly green feathery frill all around his neck. This frill extends down his back and ends at the base of his tail, where it also forms a kind of smaller frill around his tail ((kinda like Teddy's in the MLP Tales series... haha...)). His forelegs also have feathered frills just above the hooves, of the same sickly green hue. His eyes are brown, and his symbol is a green shard of jade. His wings are also the same color as the rest of his feathers.
Jaculus, being a snake/equine hybrid, also has other serpentine features. His tongue is forked and has scales covering his eyes, thus having no need to blink (though he can close his eyes). He is not entirely coldblooded, but does grow more sluggish in cold and active in heat than most ponies. He also has fangs, but these are not poisonous. Jaculus is also a short, somewhat stunted-looking pony, smaller than most his (apparent) age.
Jaculus can't fly. He was cross between an Earth pony and an amphiptere, and so retained his solid bones. His wings are also too small for him to do more than glide, even if he was built like a pegasus.
Abilities
Reaction time: Jaculus can respond to an action with extreme speed, such as darting his head out and biting someone. Likewise he can avoid blows aimed at him, provided it isn't directed at a portion of his body that simply can't be moved very quickly (ie, back).
Hypnotic: He can paralyze someone with his gaze for up to three minutes. If the victim's willpower is strong enough, they could probably shake it off after thirty seconds or so, but this is generally not the case. If Jaculus looks away, or something blocks his vision, the hypnotism is broken. Jaculus can only prevent the victim from moving around while they're in his hold, so they can still talk, blink, swish their tail... just not walk. Wearing sunglasses can also block this effect. xD
Personality: I want this to be clear, Jaculus is a coward. ^-^ Despite his powers, he is afraid of those with tough appearances, and will bend to the whim of someone stronger. That being said, he hates being a lackey, and if forced into servitude will try to find a way out of it. He has severe necrophobia; he is desperatly afraid of dying and of anything dead. The threat of killing him is usually enough to make him obey.
That aside, Jaculus isn't cruel or mean. He's usually in a state of perpetual annoyance (heh) and doesn't want to be bugged about anything unless it's small talk or gossip.
History: Jaculus was of course one of the many ponies the witches malformed and finally were defeated by. He was an idea to be a kind of armed messenger or maybe even an assassin, thus his small size and speed. He remained in the Volcano Order after the Awakening, not being bold enough to risk venturing outside. After a few months he began to second guess himself, due to the "random violence that followed for a few months after they were awakened" and his necrophobia issue. Nevertheless, he remained with the Volcano, darting about and trying to stay on everyone's good side.
