season
Summer 2024
Heat has broken through into a glorious summer. The snow has entirely dried through the spring, leaving to the brilliance of the warmer months. Terror activity has risen as people are brought out of their homes, leaving the TRS in a position of consistent work. Each are attempting to maintain victory in the endless struggle for power.
Since the wonderful members of TDOM enjoy the site enough to play around on it, this thread is to assist with the site's tidying! Functionality is important and we want to make the site functional even if its activity will be minimal at best!
Their tour-oriented interaction was more because of Tadashi’s successful first impressions. Fingers intertwined, the pair venturing down the hallways of Lorsette High School together. Warmth transpired between their tightly clasped hands, the welcomed sensation motivating Tadashi's lips to remain drawn up in a smile. Ian's company was pleasant, the young man he discovered proving to be a wonderful individual, alas, only time would assure a relationship. Even friendships could not be manifested from the first interaction, however, Tadashi had a good feeling about Ian.
[break][break]
The blond beauty was a stunning individual thus far, leaving Tadashi to hope he could proceed to astonish him. Those were the hopes of the naga because of Ian's attractive appearance and currently surfaced personality traits. Unbeknownst to the redhead, he was becoming lovestruck due to a supernatural string which linked them, however, he was no cherubim. The secret connections of soulmates were an unknown world for his species, only cherubims being the only ones capable of viewing those special strings. Each second was blissful, Tadashi pointing out more classrooms and providing a subject accompanied by a teacher's name.
[break][break]
Throughout the tour, another conversation was hosted, geared more towards a flirtatious tone. Intrigue was made obvious from the manner they interacted and reacted. Flushed cheeks touched Ian's face accompanied by rapid breathing. A delightful observation that kept Tadashi's brown eyes locked onto the blond. A soft grin touched his countenance as his heart gleefully fluttered inside his ribcage, overzealous by the reaction he received from Ian. The moment Ian returned a smile, Tadashi found it difficult to cease the curl of his lips as his grin grew a little toothy.
[break][break]
The whispered answer to his romantic offer was accompanied by a hand squeeze, firm and pleasant. There was warmth shared in their interlocked hands, each passing second of hand-holding magnificent. Before the redhead could speak further, the feminine, male student gave a teasing, flirtatious remark. A confident smirk lit Tadashi's face as his eyes locked onto the attractive blond.
[break][break]
"Oh? So I should be on good behaviour then?" Tadashi playfully responded. "Then meet me at Crescent Moon Cafe at 5:00 pm, we can walk around for a bit then go watch the rising moon. Maybe even go someplace for dinner. Nothing fancy, but on me, of course."
[break][break]
Wealth was something Tadashi possessed, thus he revelled in the concept of taking the adorable blond out to eat. Should he maintain his grades and listen to his parents, they provided a small allowance for his expenses. There were chores he was requested to accomplish at times, but as long as he behaved, they would provide. Therefore, Tadashi knew he held the funds to treat Ian with a meal at a diner. It would be nothing particularly fancy, but the redhead hoped the amber-eyed beauty could enjoy the experience.
Offers of a more romantic scene exited Tadashi's mouth automatically, and he admittedly was already planning the ideal date for the adorable blond. Firstly, the redhead required more information for his romantic desires, specifically with Ian's familiarity with Lorsette. If Ian was completely new to the area, Tadashi felt as though he had the perfect plan to make the young blond swoon. There were many sights throughout the city, the redhead planning to have introduce Prince Ian to each location on a lengthy walk throughout the city.
[break][break]
Meanwhile, the walk itself was an opportunity to increase his familiarity with the attractive, feminine boy. Then as they reached their final steps together, Tadashi would escort Ian to Starlight Cliff before settling on the bench to witness the sun play across the waves. Then perhaps before they leave the breath-taking cliffside scenery, he would lean in, lips puckered before he innocently kissed the blond's lips. The plan was perfection, something with subtle romantic vibes without overdoing everything and making his flirtatious acquaintance uncomfortable.
[break][break]
As they moved, Tadashi pointed at a pair of classrooms before speaking, "That is the computer room on the left and the other is usually the English classroom, sometimes it changes."
[break][break]
The redhead explained everything with a broad, toothy grin. Giddily, he proceeded down the school corridors, Ian's hand tightly clasped in his own. A warmth was shared between their palms, pleasant, heart-fluttering and beautiful in Tadashi's opinion. There were a few girls and boys from his class that the naga flirted with, however, Ian provided special sensations by merely allowing him to hold his hand. As they continued through those hallways, Tadashi found his eyes slowly moving to fixate on the young man standing beside him.
[break][break]
His brown eyes fixated, analyzed and admired the blond's attractive features again. The action was irresistible since Ian possessed those stunning traits Tadashi searched for. The simple, one-word question fueled Tadashi's large smile.
[break][break]
"How about this weekend? I can show you around town, maybe we could watch the moonrise then take a taxi home?" Tadashi suggested.
[break][break]
These were the moments he wished Starlight Cliff and Lorsette was on the western side of Newfoundland. A pleasant sunset over the ocean's waters would be wonderful, however, Tadashi believed the moon could create a marvellous splendour. Alas, he needed to hope Ian's parents would allow him outside long enough.
Feminine, beautiful and enjoyable, the first impressions between Ian and himself were manifesting a quick connection. Naturally, Tadashi would be required to learn more about his adorable prince charming before entering new levels of their relationship. There was a pause as the redhead remembered his fiance, the girl he despised wholeheartedly. Could he really start a relationship with this stunning blond? Ian held an ethereal beauty, however, Tadashi feared falling hard for the boy’s personality.
[break][break]
The chance of love festering between them meant potential heartbreak, however, the redhead was oddly determined to spend time alongside Ian. In mere moments, the blond captured his attention and Tadashi desired to increase the length of their interaction. Briefly, the naga's eyes drifted from Ian's schedule, returning to the beautiful blond's face where his heart skipped several beats. Those adorable, blond locks framed a fair face with brilliant amber eyes with a red tinge. A pinkish tint coloured the new student's cheeks, alluring and smile-inducing.
[break][break]
A compliment escaped those magnificent lips which prompted Tadashi's cheeks to redden further as he smiled at Ian. His dearest prince charming praised his appearance, suggesting an attraction existing between them. The flirtatious teasing made a coquettish expression stretch onto Tadashi's face.
[break][break]
"Perhaps something a little more romantic?" Tadashi suggested playfully.
[break][break]
Cheerfulness coated his words as the redhead's brown eyes shifted, locking on his enchanting companion. Their hands clasped together as Tadashi took the point, slowly walking to spent ample amounts of time with Ian. He felt as though he could wander these hallways for an eternity if he could hold Ian's hand the entire time.
The smile proceeded to play across Tadashi's lips the longer he stared at Ian, the boy's feminine features keeping his eyes engaged. Those enchanting red orbs kept the naga's eyes locked onto the blond's for a few moments before inspecting the remainder of his face again. It was difficult to resist, the boy he discovered possessed an enchanting appearance, and so far, the personality to match those dashing looks. The whispered agreement was accompanied by unregulated breathing which prompted a soft chuckle to escape Tadashi's lips.
[break][break]
The freshly stacked pile of papers was topped with the blond's schedule. Hastily, Tadashi's eyes flitted towards the piece of looseleaf for another glance at Ian's classes. They shared a majority, however, the redhead wished to memorize the adorable man's schedule. A relationship could be discovered here and admittedly, the naga was curious about how large their connection would grow. First impressions proved there was an opportunity for something beyond friendship considering how comfortable Ian appeared over the flirting.
[break][break]
When their hands connected, heart flutters filled Tadashi's chest as a subtle pink breached his cheeks. Magical, magnificent, splendid, those were the words to describe their interaction, every second being enjoyed by the redheaded naga. Never did someone managed to manifest these feelings of giddiness, excitement and happiness. Ian was somebody special. Joyously, Tadashi warranted time for the blond to glance over his schedule. He would gladly provide the sweet boy with the chance to memorize his classes while praying he would be in Ian's company frequently.
[break][break]
The whispered words encouraged Tadashi's smile to broaden and his hand to softly squeeze Ian's. A simple squeeze designed to be symbolic of happiness over being able to spend more time together. What started as a mere attempt to thwart an arranged marriage was becoming something special and meaningful. The playful follow-up common to their shared classes caused a broad smile to touch Tadashi's lips accompanied by a slight blush.
[break][break]
"I would love to find out since it means I get to learn more about you," Tadashi flirted a playful return.
[break][break]
Once the words were stated, a flirtatious smirk crossed Tadashi's face as he glanced at Ian. The naga believed his flirtatious line was magnificent, thus, he wished to observe the blond's reaction to the comment. Harboured inside was a genuine desire to learn more about Ian, however, the game of hearts never ended after a mere few flirtatious lines and hand-holding. Considering how special the feminine blond was in mere seconds, Tadashi was determined to acquire knowledge about Lorsette High School's newest student.
Gradually, binders, textbooks, pencils and other school-based items were returned to the comfort of Tadashi's locker. On the highest shelf were the binders and textbooks meanwhile pencils and pens were held in a cup secured by magnets. Everything was somewhat organized in the locker, the schedule being pinned to the locker door. Casually, Tadashi glanced over at the schedule was sorting the various items from that day's task. Fixation remained on the locker until finally, the sounds of rustling papers fluttering down. Hastily, Tadashi glanced over at the attractive blond, listening to the words which escaped the young boy's lips. When his brown noticed the spilt papers littered on the tiled, the ones Ian was previously holding. Based on a glance, the papers were apart of the school's introduction bundle, something designed to welcome students and assist with their familiarity with Lorsette High School. The redhead felt his hand released and watched as his blond companion kneeled to gather the scattered pieces of paper. Quickly, Tadashi shoved the remaining items into their respective places before bending down to help with picking everything up. Papers were carefully stacked in one arm, haste being focused on opposed to placement.
[break][break]
Suddenly, their hands bumped, the brief warmth shared between the connection making a small smile appear on Tadashi's lips. The redhead was not remotely bothered by the unexpected contact, especially since they were holding hands mere moments ago.Slowly, the naga glanced at the blond-haired man, the smile remaining across his lips as he straightened the paper stack before offering the pages.
[break][break]
"Here... you need these, right?" Tadashi said softly.
[break][break]
A broad smile was evident on the redhead's face as he provided Ian with the stack of papers. Admittedly, Tadashi was happy to assist Ian in gathering the papers from the floor. The blond man was beautiful, and personally, the redhead held a soft spot for feminine boys. There was a girl-like softness to their features which kept his eyes fixated on Ian's attractive face as he returned the papers. Slowly, the redhead's eyes locked with the papers, noticing the schedule, thus he quickly glanced over the simple table; they had plenty of matching classes, much to Tadashi's delight. Once the papers were returned to their owner, Tadashi reached for Ian's hand to intertwine the fingers.
[break][break]
"You know, we have a lot of the same classes," Tadashi stated with a smile.
[break][break]
Shortly afterwards, Tadashi opened his locker door further, allowing Ian a glimpse at the schedule held up by magnets on the door. The redhead's open hand pointed at some of the matching classes before smiling joyously at Ian. Excitement filled the naga's body since there was something special about this blond-haired boy. There were no doubts about the notion in Tadashi's mind.
Thoroughly interested in the beautiful blonde, Tadashi fancied the idea of touring the young girl around the school and perhaps, showing off his prowess in flirting. Skillfully, he managed to persuade the enchanting maiden of spending time with him, which only took a single flirtatious line! Obviously, the naga's skills in infatuating others were improving, much to his delight. Plans needed to begin, particularly the ones revolving around being unfaithful to his fiance in a desperate hope the marriage would be called off. He despised disappointing his parents, but Tadashi was desperately attempting to avoid the arranged marriage they set up for him. Already, the naga knew he would never be pleased with that spoiled brat of a spouse, even if her strong naga genes allowed for children his parents would approve of. These responsibilities for a proper marriage were steadily hefted onto his shoulders at a young age, now the redheaded adolescent planned on accomplishing everything possible to disassemble the ridiculous agreement. Despite his darling princess dodging the name question, Tadashi obliviously proceeded allowing his admiring eyes to crawl; he hardly noticed the dodge.
[break][break]
When his blonde beauty desired a promise, Tadashi smiled and nodded. Anybody watching could quickly deduce that the redhead was enthralled by the stranger's beauty. Elegantly slender with hair which looked soft to the touch and a wonderfully feminine face. Soft hands graced Tadashi's when he requested the beautiful blonde's hand. A broad, lip-tight smile stretched across the naga's face, his elated countenance being a mixture of joy and a mild lovestruck. Once he held the blonde's hand, Tadashi turned to lead her down the hallway. As they walked, there was movement between their hands as the blonde adjusted to intertwine their fingers, making Tadashi's heart happily flutter. There was something special about this girl, something positively mystic. An initial interaction transformed into a peculiar connection based on no previous history; Tadashi could hardly explain his emotions towards her. They were mixed, yet, positive, almost as though something inside was aware of something he was not. The classroom arrived in their sights, excitement roaming through Tadashi's veins at the prospect of showing his classmates that adorable girl he found in the hallway.
[break][break]
Then whispered words reached his ears, Tadashi's eyes flitting at the girl- no, boy, walking alongside him. Astonishment was evident in his expression, the redhead clearly clueless that the male, named Ian, was actually a prince. Only a few seconds in did surprise subside to a sheepish smile. Admittedly, the naga was slightly embarrassed that he failed to realize Ian was a boy.
[break][break]
"A prince is perfectly fine," he whispered back softly.
[break][break]
Gently, Tadashi squeezed Ian's hand to provide the young boy reassurance in the topic of being a prince instead of a princess. Besides, the redhead was personally a fan of feminine boys, finding them adorable and sweet looking. Only moments later did Tadashi rap on the door, briefly waiting until a student opened it. With the threshold open, Tadashi boldly walked through, bringing Ian with him as he approached the teacher's desks. Students who gaze flitted up found their attention fixated because of the discovery of a new student to Lorsette High School. Meanwhile, the teacher's eyes lingered, a curious brow lifting as she noticed the individual Tadashi brought with him.
[break][break]
"Hey, Miss Penniwink? I found a new student in the hallway, and he needs help finding everything. Can I guide him around? Please? I already had my homework done for today anyways," Tadashi requested, smiling innocently.
[break][break]
A soft sigh escaped the dark-haired teacher's mouth as she pushed up her glasses. She wore straight-laced attire and took her job beyond seriously, but she was aware of Tadashi's marvellous grades because of his wealthy upbringing. [break][break]
"Very well, Mr. Abbott, but you better have the assignments for tomorrow finished," she responded, granting permission.
[break][break]
The smile on Tadashi's face broadened as he responded gleefully, "Thank you so much!"
[break][break]
Promptly, the wealthy naga guided Ian towards his desk, gathering his binders in preparation to leave the classroom. The hawk-eyed Miss. Penniwink observed from her desk, students curiously glancing as Tadashi gathered his things, piling them onto a single arm. Only moments later did he walk towards the classroom door, exiting and closing it behind him. The young boy was elated to be provided with the opportunity to lead Ian around the school and potentially learn more about the ravishing blond, however, first, he needed to stop at his locker. Thus, the tour began with Tadashi leading Ian to his locker, the naga quickly unlocking it to place his binders and books inside.
Attractive and slender were the words Tadashi would use to describe the beautiful female. While she lacked a female figure, the redhead thought it was merely because she was going through puberty. Perhaps one day the mysterious young girl would bloom, however, Tadashi was not about to complain. Already, the young girl possessed an enchanting beauty for her youthful age, which was something the redhead could truly admire. A broad grin stretched across Tadashi's face as he trapped the blonde against the lockers. Upon earning the stranger's attention, Tadashi began observing her face, allowing the young man to analyze the beauty of her feminine features. When her face went pink with embarrassment over being spontaneously flirted with. The grin evident on Tadashi's face increased upon viewing the adorable, stretching wider across his lips. Enchanting red eyes framed by gorgeous, blonde hair on a wondrous feminine face maintained the attention of Tadashi's brown eyes; it was difficult to look away! There was definitely no harm in providing the beautiful, young lady with an extra friendly welcome. When a smile gradually breached the girl's lips, Tadashi offered a toothy grin back.
[break][break]
The response earned from his bold flirting made Tadashi quite pleased with himself. Clearly, the young girl enjoyed the forward approach, the redhead joyous over the answer.
[break][break]
"Only the sweetest responses for a dashing princess like yourself," Tadashi responded with a grin. "As for your prince charming, I'm Tadashi. Care to tell me your name, sweetpea?"
[break][break]
At the mention of providing the grand tour, a larger smile twitched on Tadashi's face. How could he possibly resist giving an attractive female a tour around the school? The opportunity presented itself to show the few romantic locations around Lorsette High School to a stunning girl. Considering Tadashi was ahead on his studies, requesting permission to help the newest student would be an easy escape.
[break][break]
"Lemme tell my teacher and I will join you," he joyous explained with a smile. "I'm pretty smart-" he stretched while saying, "sooooo, I bet my teacher would leap at the chance to have her smartest student show you around."
[break][break]
Promptly afterwards, Tadashi offered his hand to the magnificent young girl. There was something special about the ravishing blonde which made the redhead overzealous about this chance encounter.
[break][break]
"Care to join me, m' lady?" He stated playfully.
[break][break]
Once the blonde provided an answer to his invitation, Tadashi planned on leading her towards his classroom, although, he hoped the young girl would take his hand. It would be an enjoyable venture, and one he hoped to join her on.
School, the common trap for youths between the ages of 5-17 and held to the highest standards of significance in completion. Parents expected their children to spend years of their childhood learning and developing their skills in these public or private facilities and the wealthy, prestigious families were not always an exception. The Abbot family undoubtedly possessed the funds to afford to homeschool, obvious by their lavish lifestyle and quality tutors, however, they decided against it. Constantly, his parents insisted learning social protocols could be accomplished through attending public school. While Tadashi held no qualms about rousing during the early hours and heading to Lorsette High School, he always inquired out of curiosity. Besides, school hours were never supervised by his parents nor his fiance who attended a fancy, all-girls private school in a nicer section of the northern side of town. Public school became a freedom of sorts for Tadashi, warranting him the freedom to flirt with attractive boys and girls without the knowledge of his parents or fiance. When he admitted to being unfaithful, the redhead desired an extensive list of disloyal atrocities.
[break][break]
In the morning hours, Tadashi prepared himself for school. Hesitation was nonexistent as the young man sorted through his clothes, tugging on a pair of simple blue jeans and a red v-neck t-shirt and a black sweater. The black backpack hanging lazily off his computer chair was grabbed and hefty. Textbook from a night's worth of homework was swung over Tadashi's shoulder, bouncing against his back. The naga's right hand was used to secure the backpack's position as he retreated to his bedside table to retrieve his cellphone. The device was promptly shoved into his pocket alongside a pair of headphones, meanwhile, his other pocket would hold his wallet. After a quick stretch, Tadashi exited his bedroom and entered the lavishly designed manor hallway. Servants were accomplishing their daily duties, smoothly moving around one another as they completed the lengthy list of chores. Naturally, they greeted him with a simple Good morning, Master Tadashi with some adding good luck at school! As a tradition, Tadashi responded with the usual good mornings and thank yous without any hesitation in his words. The Abbot family was filled with daily routines.
[break][break]
Once downstairs in the dining room, Tadashi snatched a banana muffin before exiting the room. Lunch would be purchased on this wonderful day, mostly because the youngest Abbot decided to temporarily avoid his parents. He overheard conversations revolving around Tadashi attending a date with his spoiled brat of a fiance. As he consumed his muffin, Tadashi hurried to the foyer to escape the manor before his parents could discuss the event with him. Under most circumstances, the young naga would request his older sister for a ride, however, he needed to leave immediately. The muffin was held between Tadashi's teeth as he tugged his thick, black jacket over his shoulders and double-checked for his temperature regulating bracelet. A sigh of relief escaped his lips when he noticed the bracelet around his wrist. Once the checks were complete, he tugged on his school shoes and exited the house consuming his breakfast. The walk was a long and cold one, however, the temperature regulating bracelet assured the frigid temperature would not reach him; he even kept a spare in his knapsack.
[break][break]
The young naga speed-walked through down the sidewalks, the November air making him refuse to doddle, thus he arrived at school quickly and entered the front. Upon entry, he hustled upstairs, unlocked the padlock on his locker with the combination and placed everything into his locker. Afterwards, his books were gathered into his arms, the locker locked and his phone placed on silent. For minutes, Tadashi waited outside the classroom, playing on his phone until the teacher arrived and class began. Class promptly began with taking notes, the redheaded naga carefully writing his notes until the work period came and nature's calling arrived. Thus, he raised a hand, requested permission to use the washroom, exited and did his business. On the way out of the washroom, he saw her, an attractive blonde hair girl with red eyes. She appeared to be exploring campus, and who better to provide her with a flirtatious friendly welcome than himself? A smirk crossed his face as he confidently approached, placing his hand on a locker to lean in a little bit.
[break][break]
"Hey, beautiful, you seem new around here. How about you tell me your name sweetheart? Haven't seen a girl as pretty as you in a long while," Tadashi flirtatiously welcomed.
[break][break]
The redhead's expression maintained a friendly disposition, his lips drawn up in a flirtatious smirk while his brown eyes were wide and welcoming. Carefully, Tadashi looked over the attractive blonde, promptly admiring her delicate physique, however, he was completely unaware the individual he spoke to was male. Fortunately, it would fail to deter the redhead's requirement to flirt.
Tall and slender, Tadashi stands at a height of 6’, allowing him to be taller than most people. He tends to find his body is better suited for running opposed to physical pursuits. The lean muscles which cover his slender frame assist in allowing him to run faster than other people. While he can still accomplished some harder hits, there are definitely plenty of people stronger than him. However, his naga genes make his body extremely flexible, allowing him to accomplish actions no regular human could ever dream of doing. A fair complexion covers Tadashi’s skin, flawless and beautiful to most individuals. Scars are lacking on Tadashi’s skin, and due to plenty of time spent taking care of it, his skin is soft. While his occupation is risky, Tadashi’s healing factor does allow him to avoid scaring entirely, even making it rare for him to have cuts.
Tadashi’s face is composed of slender angles with a strong chin. High set cheekbones which lead down to sleek, pointed chin. He has an average sized nose with nothing particularly unique about his features. Sprouting from Tadashi’s head are thick, soft locks of red hair escape which he maintains excellently. He kept a majority of his wavy locks swept to a single side, each poking up and keeping a somewhat spiky appearance. Under a majority of circumstances, this is maintained because it is his favoured style. Centered on his eyes are a pair of brown eyes which are rather dull in comparison to other people’s. When transforming or partially transforming, Tadashi’s eyes become more snake-like, with pupils becoming slits.
Clothing wise, Tadashi will wear anything that is comfortable and usually maintains a more casual style. Since his parents were gracious enough to allow him to attend public school, Tadashi wears casual clothing to blend in. He is hardly picky about it and will usually wear just about anything offered to him. The only clothing he is noticeably pickier with are formal garbs, mostly because he finds them restricting and uncomfortable. As a result, he rarely wears formal clothing and usually keeps the top buttons of dress shirts undone whenever possible. He despises suit coats and ties since his parents always require him to have his dress shirt tighter. Under all circumstances, Tadashi wears a temperature regulating charm which is a simple bracelet on his right wrist.
When in snake form, Tadashi appears like red spitting cobra. He is slightly larger than most red spitting cobras, usually providing a hint about his naga ties. Beautiful red scales coat Tadashi’s snake form with the exception of a black ring around his neck.
Poison Manipulation -- Advanced The ability to manipulate poisons, allowing the user to move liquid or gas forms. The user, if strong enough, can even create poisons. Similar to all nagas, Tadashi is plenty capable of manipulating poison; it was an ability taught in his family. In the Abbott family, they are instructed on poisons, specifically those which would in a less potent dose can paralyze a target, allowing them to flee. With his poison manipulation, Tadashi can recognize certain types of poisons, however, will be unaware of the effects it may have. Fluently, he can move poisons, but his creation is limited to what can be secreted from his mouth with the use of his venom glands. As a red spitting cobra, Tadashi can spit a usually non-lethal venom at people. The venom is designed to paralyze the target, however, on larger animals like people, it’s effects are non-lethal. This being said, the venom does cause fatigue and numbness of the lips, when spat into someone’s eyes, it can cause blindness if not treated quickly.
Enhanced Speed -- Mastered The ability to run faster than the person with excellent fitness, allowing the user to accomplish incredible actions. Speed is something valued in the Abbott family because of their careers in scouting. Through years of training, Tadashi has learned to move quick and sharpen his reaction immensely. He can move quickly, and should he witness an oncoming attack, dodge without much issue. The defensive and endurance aspects of enhanced speed were improved by his parents’ rigorous training lessons. He can run for hours at an extreme speed, however, any faster and his stamina will begin to wear down. Attack wise, Tadashi could undoubtedly use some polish since his mastery is mostly related to running and quickly timed parkour movements. Weakness comes with his muscles since extensive use can easily fire them and manifest soreness. Should Tadashi go overboard, he could be bedridden for days.
Snake Shifting -- Mastered The ability to transform into a snake or even partial transform to have the lower half of a snake. Taking on the form of a snake is extremely useful for sneaking around guarded locations. Despite Tadashi‘ scales being a bright red, his smaller size allows him to smoothly hide and avoid detection. In this form, he can slither up things and move quicker than in human form. When half shifted, Tadashi can still move quickly, but is bigger with plenty of extra length because of his lower snake body. Frequently, he uses this form to safely hang from roof rafters to listen to conversations. It takes Tadashi approximately 20 seconds to transform, and during this time he is vulnerable to attack. If severely wounded, Tadashi will automatically shift back into human form, even if he is only half shifted. When shifted, he is more vulnerable to the cold.
Hypnosis -- Advanced The ability to control someone through hypnotism, allowing the user to use varying methods to get the individual to obey their every command. With the power of his eyes, Tadashi can essentially persuade people to accomplish whatever task he wishes. For Tadashi, this ability leans heavily on persuading the other person into doing the desired task. His eyes play heavily into this ability and same with his voice, a mixture of both intensifying the ability. Similar to some snakes in movies, Tadashi can stare deep into somebody’s eyes and persuade them to do things they would never dream. Hypnosis emphasizes the allure in his voice and tries to place the target into a trance, allowing Tadashi to persuade them with ease. This ability can be blocked by mental shields and even resisted, especially if eye contact is broken and/or ears are plugged.

weakness notes
Cold Weather Similar to snakes, Tadashi struggles in cold weather, however, this is his most notable weakness. When cold, Tadashi’s body will react similarly to a snake’s, meaning he will enter brumation if placed under these stresses. This brumation state results in the slowing of Tadashi’s metabolism, making him extremely lethargic. Exposure to cold fronts will result in these animal instincts kicking into overdrive, meaning Tadashi will find the warmest place to hide with intent of sleeping through the cold. Should he fail, Tadashi could potentially perish from the cold exposure. Attacks related to cold weather can trigger these instincts if exposure is prolonged and manages to make Tadashi extremely cold. When in these brumated states, it can reach lengths of making it very difficult for Tadashi to move. Should his brumation state go on for a lengthy period of time, Tadashi does risk starving because of the lethargic feeling. Once brought up to a warmer temperature, Tadashi is capable of moving to sunbathe or find other methods to gain warmth.
backstory
Prestigious and wealthy, the Abbots are infamous for being high-ranking scouts for the TRS. Their naga genes allowed them to move quickly and sneak around without issue, thus they considered it their duty as one of Enki’s creatures. For centuries, those of the Abbot family followed the tradition of training to become a scout. Bound to tradition and armed with years of history, anybody would expect each Abbot to refuse to break them. Through the years, arranged marriage resulted in Samuel Abbot marrying the hand chosen woman. They searched for years to look for a woman with suitable blood, and they were fortunate. Naga blood was strong in Jenna Claire and she possessed a charming personality. They were quick to fall head or heels for one another. When they married, the pair had a strong relationship, providing those old traditions with some validation. Shortly after marriage, Samuel and Jenna began having children to continue the family line.
First born was a son named James, the second a young girl they named Marie then as the third child was Tadashi. Three marvellous children all born with the crucial naga blood the family adored. The parents could never be happier with the children they had. Expectations weighed on all of them, seemingly endless with how their family would plan their education. All three attended public school despite their wealth, but also received lessons at home to assure they were provided the best education. Private tutors went through the house constantly, training all three children to excel in their courses. From a young age, Tadashi would learn the weight of the Abbot name. Intelligent, quick-thinking and capable were the expectations of Abbots, especially considering that in the future they would become scouts. Tutors handled a majority of their education, but their father personally handled their scout training. Exercise began as small games meant to allow the children to develop stamina for their future careers. Abilities were started in small amounts, subtle and safe actions which allowed their children to be safe.
At first, everything was enjoyable with many games Tadashi was allowed to play with his siblings. It was mostly races or anything which involved running around the yard for a few hours for some proper exercise. Those were the carefree days where worries about traditions were minimal and only vaguely noticeable. Although, when Tadashi was 8, his parents began introducing him to the young, female children of other families with strong naga genes. Unfortunately, his input would be unheard when his parents discovered a girl of favourable genes and a family willing to marry her off once she became 18. The girl was approximately two years younger than Tadashi, a supposed angel in front of adults, but a spoiled brat around him. She was demanding, especially when she learned Tadashi would be her future husband. She always stated he needed to be the perfect husband, but these “lessons” were something Tadashi despised. From a young age he hated the girl his parents expected him to marry, however, he felt duty bound as an Abbot.
Upon turning 10, Tadashi began noticing how incredible hunters were. Heroes, saving people from the threat brought forth by the Assembly of Phantoms. They were conquerors of the battlefield, saving anybody who required their aid. He fancied the notion of being a hunter, however, his parents consistently mentioned him and his siblings being scouts. As a result, he remained hushed for the time being about his real dream. Alas, as the years ticked on, the possibility of becoming a hunter slipped further and further from his grasp. Thus, the young child resigned himself to acceptance, especially when their training began intensifying. His father stated the importance of scouting, placing it onto a grand pedestal as he explained how significant the job was. The training remained geared to scouting, although, when self-defence lessons began, Tadashi paid close attention in hopes of possibly improving his fighting ability.
Years were passing, the clock ticking closer to when he would be expected to marry the spoiled brat his parents picked out as a potential future wife. Thoughts of registering a complaint never crossed Tadashi’s mind. He believed he would be trapped by the possibility unless he discovered a way to make his fiance decide otherwise. At 13, he thought he discovered the method to make him repulsive to her. Even when in her presence, Tadashi would start flirting with other men and women in hopes she would break off the engagement. She would be furious and scream at him on plenty of occasions, but she never broke their engagement. The young man would receive disappointed glances from his parents, but he never ceased. He desired to escape from an arranged marriage. Dreams of becoming a hunter were already abandoned, thus he would be damned if he was tied down to a woman he hated. Alas, the task appeared more difficult than he liked.
At 15 a beautiful girl joined their school, thus Tadashi began flirting. Listing off flirtatious remarks became a hobby he enjoyed after all. Shortly after their first interaction, Tadashi learned the individual was a boy. Alas, the torrent of flirtatious comments failed to cease after learning the interesting fact about the individual. When searching for men to flirt with, Tadashi would usually pick those who appeared more feminine. Admittedly, he found it an attractive quality, thus he had no qualms continuing his relationship with the young boy named Ian Mitchell. Each second he flirted with Ian was enjoyable to Tadashi, particularly when it came to teasing the young blond. He believed they were approximately the same age and never even asked about how old Ian was. Flirting remained consistent, going lengths of the pair stealing kisses and dating despite Tadashi’s engagement to the vile woman.
Ian was plenty of firsts despite Tadashi being engaged, most specifically being the first person he was ever intimate with. Unlike the woman he was expected to marry, Tadashi loved Ian. There was a playfulness to his actions and his timidness was an adorable trait. As their relationship proceeded, Tadashi learned his boyfriend was younger than expected. At the time, Tadashi was 18, therefore making Ian a minor. The pair kept their relationship going, but restrictions were placed on what they could do together for the time being. Everything was secretive, but the privacy in their romantic involvement was pleasant nonetheless. Around this time, the school was attacked which was a scary situation. As somebody trained to defend himself, Tadashi assisted where he could to avoid anybody else getting injured during the altercation. It was his first experience helping others, but it made Tadashi happy, alas, these moments of playing hero would be rare.
Months later, they went on a ski trip, much to Tadashi’s disdain. The entire motivation to go was to spend more time with his secret boyfriend. On one of the evenings, Tadashi noticed Ian leave the large cabin they were staying in, thus he followed. The naga was terrified of freezing to death, but he was worried about his boyfriend. When he found them, they talked for a while, Tadashi learning more about the boy he loved, specifically about his family life. The moment Ian blamed himself for the attack on the school, Tadashi refused to believe it was his fault. The Assembly of Phantoms had attacked schools before, thus would it not be an inevitable fate? After their conversation concluded, the pair decided to head back to the cabin. The frozen ice beneath them was hidden by snow, the loud crack only being heard when Ian fell through into the icy depths.
Everything proceeded in slow motion as Tadashi watched his boyfriend disappear below the ice. Fear was fought against as Tadashi shouted Ian’s name before diving in to help his boyfriend to the surface. Once dragged on shore, the cold lovers snuggled in an attempt to regain warmth. Traveling in soaked clothes back to the cabin would be a difficult and frigid task. The moment they were prepared to move, Tadashi shifted into a snake and with his boyfriend’s permission, sought refuge beneath Ian’s shirt. Nagas were cold blooded, thus Tadashi was struggling to regain warmth. With the assistance of his boyfriend, they managed to get back to the cabin where they were sent home to rest afterwards. Months later arrived graduation, Tadashi being promptly signed up to join the TRS as a scout. He graduated quickly from the TRS and began working as a scout in unit 3. Currently, there is one more year until he will be forced to marry his fiance.
