[b]Vel slithered into the alleyway. He was a strange sight indeed. Half man, half... snake-thing. His top half was that of an ordinary Caucasian male. Slightly tanned skin, brown hair, thick tan coat over a red t-shirt, a nice leather knapsack. His bottom half was... strange. It was like a snake's tail, yet it was smooth, like a salamander's. It was a deep purple color, speckled with lighter splotches. The tail was at least twice as long as the man from the waist up, probably more. It was hard to see, but his fingertips were in fact also purple, bleeding down into his hands like an infection of sorts. A sword gleamed at his hip, jagged and serrated, gently glowing purple.[/b] [i]"What do we have here?..."[/i] [b]He said, hand straying to his sword.[/b]
