Padhaakoo is a Raktavarna, a fiendish creature of the Rakshasa variety. The lowest rung of their kind, often made up by those who have failed in their previous incarnations, or perhaps never got that far to begin with. They have the power to become any small item at will, going about unnoticed for what they truly are. Possessing a wicked poison that not only harms, but causes one to forget the past few minutes. Should their true nature be found out they can quickly lose that knowledge.

Padhaakoo originally was one of many Rakshasa with a goal to try and take out the leader of the venture, Anizhar. The snake only did so, seeing it as his last chance to try and make a name for himself and grab a chance at a higher station in life. In truth the amount of times he had been beaten down had been too much and his heart never was really in it.

Though when thought that everything was at an end he encountered Noxis. The little rat thought he was the absolute coolest. Outside of his parents he is the only one who really knows what the rat is like, and while thinks the whole chuuni phase is a bit much, he supports him the best he can. The two hatched a plan to make their way off to this college as if Padhaakoo were to be seen as nothing more than a familiar, they could get double the education with only one of them actually needing to get in!

His little outfit was handcrafted by Noxis, and is often kept in the dueling scabbard. A reinforced scabbard that not only lets Noxis knock blades away, but protects the serpent in a rather comfortable padded interior.

While he could become any sort of weapon, he went with a katana at Noxis’s request, as what is edgier? Given his coloration, being a bronze blade is easier to replicate than steel, or at least is more comfortable for him.. And the edge might be a bit strange.. But who knows, maybe Padhaakoo might of served a Red Mantis Assassin at some point?

Then we got the Tsuba.. Which Noxis somehow has yet to notice depicts the two of them nuzzling or smooching. Kinda weird there Padhaakoo.. Are you trying to tell us something?


(Padhaakoo I had the hardest time with coloring. I had some help with ideas that I -REALLY- liked, but their colors didn’t really work well with Noxis’s outfit, and ones that did, the cool colors for the snake himself didn’t work well. Eventually ended up having to decide on this. Might change it later!)
