Forms of the Ngao
12 years ago
Since the Ngao is a spiritual being it could hold many, many different "physical" forms with varying characteristics. Since it's first physical 'inception' from Gaia it has usually stayed to that, but never really strayed or deviated from the form that Gaia herself saw for the Ngao. The only variations at times are that it looks the same, but say for Water travel - the Ngao would have gills for breathing underwater and not need to come up for air (or not need air at all), and adapted limbs for ease of movement in water. For Air travel - The Ngao could be in some bird form if necessary, or just be itself with some etherial "wings" protruding from the shoulders.
1. Etherial:
Size: ???
Shape: ???
Characteristics: This form is the hardest to describe because it is hard to exactly "see" it from a physical sense. One of the best ways to describe it would be "massive", like the Ngao is on in a general sense, since he himself is able to change his physical size, so in fact can the Etherial form be either large or small. One would more get the feeling like they are being watched, but unable to see anything. Those with any kind of magical senses might be able to possibly tell or discern a little more, but not be able to really see him, because this is potentially the same kind of etherial form that even "gods" take to wander the physical world in. It is able to traverse ALL terrain types including those of extreme temperatures, because why would something on that plane of existence even feel those kinds of temperatures.
2. Feral:
Size: Usually seen as large as a Clydesdale horse minimum, but can be MUCH larger. Rarely seen smaller, unless going as a different lesser species of some sort.
Shape: Quadrapedal - Usually seen as - hybrid of 3 species Sabretooth Tiger/Direwolf/Bear/Bison/Badger - or a variant thereof. Can take shape of other lesser creature as well if needed.
Characteristics: Most of Gaia's scutum "shields" have some feral form of some sort as they are derived usually from some main animal or mix of more than one. Then elevated, given mystical powers from the mother, usually dealing with their stature, and dominion over their given area. The Ngao is higher still above that in nature, as he is not bound to any one place and has dominion over all, almost to the extent of the mother herself.
Usually seen in the hybrid form - is heavy musculature wise, and is quite a literal beast. He has the grace of a feline, the stamina of a wolf, and stoutness of a badger, burlyness of a bear, and stubbornness of a bison. He can survive in all extremes of temperatures and interesting side note -- can be quite bushy in the winter!
3. Anthro:
Size: Take a Clydesdale horse and stand it up heigth wise. That is the rough normal size of the Ngao. Can shift size smaller or larger depending on need.
Shape: Rough anthro shape, Very muscular, digi-grade legs.
Characteristics: Basic same characteristics of the Feral form, just put that up on two legs. Not much of a difference if at all. Heavy musculature, and built like a tank, but with some lean and feline grace, but stamina from a wolf and stocky like a badger.
4. Human:
Size: Rough human shape, bordering on the very tall, almost Amazonian kinda.
Shape: Lean and Very Muscular
Characteristics: This is a form that the Ngao takes when interacting with regular mundane humans. He is very tall, and very muscular. He is almost Legolas pretty, but with more musculature if you will. In top pique physical condition / perfection. That would be the best way to describe his overall self. He has azure eyes, that can change color / hue depending on mood. Copper/brown/reddish hair. His skin would almost seem to have a 'glow' about it, like from him being in the sun, but not sunburnt. A very healthy look in general. He'd usually be wearing clothing of whatever era he is in and not try to stand out too much, usually covering up the markings / tattoos he has on his back, chest, and shoulders. Though he could hide them ethereally as well or chose just not to let them show at all.
In all forms his tattoos can be seen and even glow depending on situation.
