good, free/cheap (aka subsidized) public transportation systems are just *chef's kiss* mwah so fucking good. disabled? public transportation. poor? public transportation. wanna cut down on personal emissions*? public transportation. need to go for a ride to clear your head? public transportation. bored as a person without a license? hop on a bus or train, baby. visit the city and check out that little ice cream shop you were curious about. take a train out to a rural area and find a nice little spot to sit. hop on the bus and go see your grandma, idk.
the possibilities are literally endless.
*disclaimer ik that personal emissions are high-key bullshit unless you're a celebrity (*cough* taylor swift *cough*) but this is in an ideal hypothetical world where public transportation is subsidized and far-reaching so we can pretend that in this world something like that can make a significant difference. let me be.
#jbat#just barely awake thoughts#no because why does this make me want a story that's literally about good public transit systems#like a slice-of-life about a train conductor and his bus driver husband#and their day-to-day stories of like#helping a lost kid find their parents#troubleshooting mechanical issues on the day of an important event#the bus driver having to take a detour to drive someone in labor to the hospital and getting an ambulance motorcade#with a doctor/nurse/obgyn giving instructions over the radio#or the train conductor helping a crowd of people push up a train enough to free someone trapped underneath#a bunch of pet reptiles get loose from their travel tubs when the bus driver hits the breaks on the way back from an expo or something#brakes*#and like none of them are venomous or dangerous but most of them are juveniles#and the poor person who brought them on board (with permission) gets bitten several times#because he's tasked himself with catching the tokay geckos that are. you know. small but still full of rage#while everybody else goes looking for like.#the leopard geckos#the ball pythons#the baby sulcata#anyways. *sighs*#*shaking a stick at god and the government* GIVE ME GOOD PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION DAMMIT

Thoughts on Tokay geckos as a pet? I find them charming but I'm also not a hugely experienced lizard keeper (I have a bearded dragon and he's my only one).
Also are geckos considered lizards? Just realized I don't actually know that.
Yep, geckos are lizards!
Tokay geckos are so cool. They can also be decent pets!...if you find a captive-bred one and you're an experienced keeper. Their care is solidly advanced-level; they need high heat and high humidity with a mild nighttime heat drop. They're not the most difficult out there, but they're not easy. It's important to make sure their enclosure is set up well before even thinking about bringing the gecko home. Tokay geckos, like many advanced-level reptiles, are good pets for people who are diligent.
The biggest strike against Tokay geckos is that most are still wild-caught. You can find captive-bred ones, increasingly, but a wild-caught Tokay gecko can be a huge challenge. On top of the standard problems with wild-caught animals, Tokay geckos tend to be very defensive and they are big enough lizards with sharp enough teeth to really hurt you if you're not careful. Like, I have scars from Tokays - don't mess with them! They're not huge lizards but they can send you to the ER for stitches if you're not careful. They tend to bite and hang on - I once had to pull a wild-caught one that some schmuck dumped in a parking lot out of a gutter and it took almost an hour to get him to let go of my fingers. Do not buy a wild-caught Tokay gecko unless you both know what you're doing and have medical insurance.

Here this is what five pebbles is he’s like this. Whenever you draw him with those angry/flustered eyes he just reminds me of a tokay gecko opening its mouth to try and scare off a predator
HELP ME LORD... I DONT EVEN DRAW HIS EYES THAT WIDELY OPENED ANYMORE UNLESS ITS EXTRA CRAZY BUT LOL

I miss my ball python :(
I really wanna get back into reptile keeping, but Im definantly not in that kinda situation money wise..
I really want to get my own place and have a snake and maybe a crested gecko, or tokay. I have experience with all three reptiles and more! And I honestly miss having them.
Tokay get a bad rep for being aggressive, but in my experience, they are total sweethearts, granted you have captive raised one's. And I had two! Xerxies and May Rose, May was the sweetest fucking gecko man.. She was larger, and just wanted to be held *constantly.* She would wait at the top of the enclosure, and paw at the screen, while Xerxies was a bit of a wild card. He didn't like me being in his cage, but after I held him for a bit he would go from white to blue in no time. He was the one that liked hanging out- unfortunately he had some birth defect that effected his spine.
May ended up being alone, and thats when she got super clingy.
My snake, Forest, is the longest I had ever had any reptile. A whole 8 years! I couldn't bring him with me, when I moved in 2020. (Home owner is afraid of snakes, understandable.)
I had him since I was 11.. And I miss that pudgy boy. He was always happy to come out and chill, he liked being around my neck or on my arm, and would often fall asleep on me.
Snakes are such underrated sweethearts.. My dream snake is a Dumerils Boa, a large, soft, scaly puppy. I wanted one when I first started, but I knew better than to start off hard. So I settled for my first snake.. Forest.
He was in the pet store, and must have come from an abusive situation, but he also had the tendency to be very picky with his rats (he was a live feeder, which I don't think I could do anymore.) If it wasn't all white, he wouldn't take it.
They say Ball Pythons don't like anything but flat.. However, I would like to combat this by saying they LOVE climbing. They adore branches to climb, and aren't as lazy as everyone says. (Truly, every snake is individual! Any reptile has their own personality.)
I really want to make up for my early decisions in reptile keeping. I was a kid with passion.. I made some mistakes. I want to correct these mistakes by maintaining correct reptile husbandry, meaning I want to make the best enclosure possible, mainaining proper heat, and humidity, changing and cleaning the cage, I'd rather have substrate than carpet, or news paper for the enclosure, but it all depends on the money situation.
To start back up, I'd set up for a ball python. Something small and easy to maintain, before I take on my bigger, ultimate goal of a Dumerils Boa. Cresties/Tokay's would come later.. But I'd love to get back into reptile keeping regardless.
Ah.. A man can dream.
#mori speaks#mori babbling about snakes and stuff#fun fact i had a shit ton of reptiles when i was younger#i moved out two years ago#im so sad i had to abandon my little buddy#but we cant have everything

dustin hcs because i dont see him on my dash enough
Rowan pearlldiver ronanticized I am so glad you asked.
He's a baker. He grew up baking with his mom. Cakes, pies, pastries, he can do it all.
He loves animals!! He loves reptiles and amphibians. When he has his own permanent place he's gonna have a bunch of them as pets. He'd get the really feisty ones too. Like a tokay gecko or a green tree python, (sorry I do be a reptile nerd) and he'd tame them down somehow cuz he's just that good.
He majors in mechanical engineering
His grades are just okay, but his teachers and professors (the cool ones) like him anyway because he's obviously so fucking smart and also funny. Funny works wonders for getting teachers to like you.

OPLO YK ERVJOP
Pronouns: He/him
Position: President of the Theme Park Club of Tarrk
Age: 130
Romantic and/or Sexual Preference: "I only have eyes for my wife"
Species: Carrek
Home Planet: Sturn
Faceclaim/Humanoid Appearance: Dan Povenmire
True Appearance: Oplo does not resemble any particular Earth species, but resembles a lot of different lizards. He has warm gray frills on his head in place of hair, very textured gray scaly skin with occasional speckles of pastel colors, brown eyes, regenerate-able limbs ending in blunt claws, and a tail tipped in silvery-gold spines.
Information: (cw for child neglect and implied gore)
Oplo is a happily married man. He has one son named Bekl whom is currently attending a fancy boarding school on Jehk that has a great athletics program. Oplo talks about how much he misses Bekl every day. He also talks about how much he misses his beloved wife every day too because she is almost always at work. Oplo's wife Jane works long hours as a business executive, commuting back home for three out of every 10 days.
Oplo's wife has a younger sister, Junyi. Since Junyi's parents did not want to take responsibility for the child, Oplo and Jane essentially raised the younger carrek. He knows but would never admit that he is not the best at minding children. He has done a little bit better bringing up Bekl than his younger sister-in-law, but it is honestly just luck at this point that Oplo's line of carreks can regrow fingers.
Oplo's family owns a chain of exercise equipment manufacturing and distribution. None of the other club members are sure exactly what Oplo does as employed by his family's company, but he lives comfortably and has his picture all over the company's promotional materials.
It has always been a point of great tragedy for Oplo that he could not visit his favorite place in the universe that he could never visit: Universal Orlando Resort. He was devastated to discover that Blue Man Group would no longer be performing at the best place on Earth. He started the Theme Park Club twenty-six years ago and has unanimously been voted as president every year (except 2017, when he voted for his wife, who did not want the position at all). After scattered acquisitions here and there, Oplo and his club members came up with the brilliant idea of scouting out an entire pirate crew to visit everyone's dream parks, experience it all on their behalf, and bring back merchandise to cherish.
MARY JUNYI CIRTU
Pronouns: She/her
Position: Member of the Theme Park Club of Tarrk
Age: 56
Romantic and/or Sexual Preference: Pansexual
Species: Carrek
Home Planet: Kurrk
Faceclaim/Humanoid Appearance: Song Yuqi
True Appearance: While she freely enjoys her sformer, she has shockingly vibrant patterning resembling a tokay gecko but seafoam green with gold spots. Her eyes are dominated by a bright amber scelera.
Information: (CW for child neglect)
Junyi was the result of a one-time liaison between a wealthy recently widowed woman and a high-ranking Galx official. The Galx official wasn't married at the time, but he apparently decided he had enough children from his previous marriage and entirely ignored his youngest in all manners except fiscal. Junyi's mother also stopped caring about bringing up a second kid after a decade, so her sister Jane (and later brother-in-law Oplo) brought her up.
It can't be said that Jane and Oplo did a fantastic job teaching Junyi manners, but she's endearing in her own way. Unfortunately, she has little regard for the comfort of others, and is terrible at apologizing when it is due. It can be difficult to get Junyi to stop talking if she takes a liking to someone, and she has little awareness of when she irritates others.
She goes by her middle name because her first name is after one of the worst characters in Pride and Prejudice, she doesn't like how her mom says it, and she likes to have her name started with the same sound as her sister's.
Both of her parents send her money regularly (out of guilt?), even if she is already an adult. Junyi wouldn't have to work if she didn't want to, but she has put some of that money toward advancing a career in doing what she loves... designing dollhouses big enough to fit people. Or as other people see fit to call those: houses. Her early career is going surprisingly well.
Junyi loves collecting things, and is the biggest Disney fan out of the club- beyond just the parks. She has a particularly very large Tsum Tsum collection. Visitors to the clubhouse may find Tsum Tsums hidden in locations where Tsum Tsums should not dwell.
TOQJUN "QJUN" GVUGGL
Pronouns: He/him
Position: Secretary of the Theme Park Club of Tarrk
Age: 111
Romantic and/or Sexual Preference: He is honestly obsessed with calling himself "MLM" but pronounces it "Mlem"
Species: Carrek
Home Planet: Sturn
Faceclaim/Humanoid Appearance: Mika
True Appearance: Qjun closely resembles an armadillo-girdled lizard with cascading scales and a flexible body, but pale blue.
Information:
Kjeuk and Qjun's families have been close for generations, helping each other grow their own wealth. Much of the families' occupations revolves around using money to make more money. Qjun thinks that investments and gambling are quite fun.
By far, Qjun is the most socially apt out of the leadership of the Theme Park Club. Unfortunately, Qjun is only good in social situations if he is presenting information. If you ask him enough questions, his eccentricity comes out. He's fun, and odd people gravitate to him, but Qjun's family thinks that he's kind of a loser.
Qjun is equally comfortable going by his full name "Toqjun" or the nickname "Qjun". Since Kjeuk uses the nickname, the secretary is usually "Qjun" to the club.
While Qjun likes theme parks, he is genuinely more interested in watching videos and having the merchandise than actually going to a park- and risking Galx coming after him and his sweet sweet money.
Qjun's weak spot is karaoke. You can persuade him to do anything if you do karaoke with him first. It's been bad for business.
While he is the secretary of Theme Park Club, Qjun enjoys the social aspect of the club more than anything. It's nice to be a part of a community of people that enjoy things and care so strongly about it! He likes to listen and do his part to keep the club going. Also they serve really good food at the club.

My full opinion on wild caught reptiles and amphibians is like. Well, captive breeding programs need to start somewhere. If species are legally imported and properly cared for (medicated and quarantined, like my new fella), and not just grabbed from somewhere and thrown onto an expo table the next day, I consider that something responsible. I don’t think a lot of people know that lots of wild caught species are legally exported from their country of origin which is understandable, because poaching is such a problem with so many animal species. Like large birds. Which, for the record, I staunchly don’t believe that large parrots should be kept by regular people. I don’t think their care requirements can be properly addressed/replicated in someone’s home. Also with wild caught reptiles, I think there’s no excuse to have one if there is an active captive bred population. That’s just ridiculous.
I also think that introducing different varieties of reptiles into the trade can help further our understanding of husbandry and behavior for those species. Like, my little guy is a skink, so he has similar care to other skinks. He’s fully grown so he won’t get any bigger - this isn’t an animal like a full grown monitor lizard that needs really insane keeping requirements or anything. People are already working with this species and beginning to breed them in captivity. Like tokay geckos - which are available captive bred but are still very expensive - there needs to be dedicated people who love these species and want to learn more about them. I think that’s cool.
Banded skinks are known for being like... almost comically docile and very easy to handle. Which is just so funny to me. I’d been reading up about blue tongues these past couple weeks, but they get pretty large and can have bad attitudes if not handled a lot! Also most smaller reptiles prefer to try to run from you, rather than attack.
anyways i keep calling him my little pizza tube because he’s just such a goofy little weirdo. and my friend was disappointed I didn’t get a snake, i asked her if she saw my new baby and she replied “yes. it has legs >:(” LOL
once I can get a properly sized (4′x2′x2′) enclosure, I’ll get a snake. but not before!

So i decided to put this up here. I wil eventually be making one for Chun, no worries, but wanted to post this here for future reference for myself and anyone else who needs it. Since this is going to be a big reference sheet, I will include any and all reference images that are important. At the top are References for Tao's appearance, and below that are images of certain items he has with him at all times amd any other images that are relevant.
But first, I'm going to include each artist who drew the images, including the two so far that i've drawn. If any more images that relate to Tao's powers are made, I will update this with said image and the proper credit.
Artist creds
On Twitter: lupinebones77(Most of Tao's current refs aside from King and the inscence burner)
melocelli (Kaiju form)
torikalmia (King and the Incense burner)

Physical Illnesses: Asthma, Pulmonary Atresia
Incense Burner/Ball and Chain Weapon
This incense burner is wrapped around Tao's waist and tends to spew some of his mist magic at any given time. It acts as both a weapon and storage. It can be used similarly to the ball and chain weapon from twilight princess, but can grow and shrink depending on what Tao needs. Misty spikes appear on the sphere when Tao is using it as a weapon.
King
A plushie made in Wukong's likeness that Macaque made for Tao when she was little. They told Macaque what clothes he wanted the little guy to wear, after seeing a future vision of baba wearing his more modern outfit. Has several small pocket dimensions inside of him that Tao can go into at any time.
Tao's Powers
Blessings of the White Snake
• Forked Tounge

108,000 Leap Somersault
Useful, but can cause Tao to have an asthma attack if preformed too fast or in a place with lots of debris.
Chi Manipulation
Mainly used in exorcisms and not in actual combat with living beings.
Flight
Loves soaring all on her own. can use his body to propel himself around and even gets help from the wind.
Replication/Shadow Cloning
Makes misty clones that can take on a physical appearance if nessicary.
Telepathic communication/Astral Projection
Has links to Wukong, Macaque, Chun and Zihou, but can easily astral project to anyone so long as they accept.
Flaming Fist of Fury
Strengthened by the Yang Samadhi fire to dangerous levels
Lazer eyes
Has the ability to use this power, but has never done so.
Gold Vision
Capable of using this in it's original state, and an altered version that allows him to see as if he wasn't blind.
Kaiju Form/Smoke Generation
Inherited from both parents (I will go i to more detail about his Kaiju in Macaque's section.)
Powers from Liu Er (Macaque)
Enhanced Hearing
Although Tao only has one extra set of ears, his hearing is still very sensitive.
Shadow Manipulation
Tao's shadows are more fluid-like in appearance compared to Macaque's.
She is capable of calling upon their mother's shadows should he ever find the need to.
Shadow Cloning/Replication
Clones usually take on a misty, cloud-like appearance, but have the ability to turn into identical clones to the original. Shadow clones of Macaque's can also be summoned if needed.
Shadow Transportation
Tao can use this ability easily, and the shadows tend to do most of the work for him. Macaque can sense each time Tao uses the shadows to warp.
Smoke Generation /Kaiju form
A misty form with a stone-like mask and chest plate with all four of the hands being stone as well as some stone bits around her wrists and tail. This form has three alternate forms depending on Tao's mood and the element that corresponds to it.
The Kaiju's base form
Height: Mainly between 120 Meters (394 Feet) and 158 Meters (521 feet), but can shrink to smaller heights. (Imagine the heights between Godzilla in Godzilla vs. Kong and King Ghidorah)
Fire Form
Uses the Yang half of the Samadhi Fire to further fuel itself. The base form has only parts of Tao's hair, the twin tips of his tail and around his wrists ignite, the same places where his stone parts are excluding the stone mask and chest piece. This differs fron his fiery wrath form, in which the entire body of the kaiju is engulfed in flames, which burn any and all they come in contact with.
Water Form
Uses the primal power of Tao's water abilities to fuel it. This form is rarely used for fighting and more as a method of escape, as it can seemingly 'melt' into any large body of water and vanish. Every time this form appears, heavy monsoon-like rains follow. This form is completely made of water with the exception of the stone bits.
Dual Form
A mix of all three forms and is the most destructive in terms of passive property damage. It has currently never been used, and for good reason. It's power alone rivals the power of the primordeal gods of old. The Yang Samadhi fire is unaffected by the water from this kaiju.
Powers Unique to Tao
• Echolocation
• True Sight (A modified verison of Gold Vision that allows Tao to see as if he wasn't blind)
• Familiar creation, allowed him to summon a unique companion based deeply on his personality. There are currently three. These three count as pokemon in the Pokemon AU I have for Tao.
Yang (Height: 9'2" Feet)
A fiery ghost dog that has been Tao's friend and companion since they were young. He used to be a living being, a half hellhound. Died protecting his master, and once in the Diyu he became so distraught and enraged over his master still being in danger that he singlehandedly broke out of the Underworld by digging himself out. His flames were so intense at that point that no one could get close without severe casualty to their person, not even the 10 kings. He lost all skin on his paws and head aside from his ears in the act, and successfully escaped to return to his master's side.
He is the only being aside from Wukong that has successfully escaped the Diyu, and since his only goal was to be reunited with his master, the ten kings decided it wasn't worth trying to bring him back. His bays, barks and howls is so intimidating that most sane beings will instinctively flee upon hearing it. He is semi-incorporeal. he consumed his own body as a spirit upon returning to battle and can choose to be more ghost-like or not. Yang often stays in Tao's incense burner/pokeball, or his master's shadow when not needed at that moment. Yang can control his flames to the point that allies will not be burned by them, but instead feel very warm. He's the perfect heater on cold winter days.
Jinjing (Height: 3'5" Feet)
A spunky fishy fox familiar that has also been with Tao since she was young. She acts like a service animal when Tao goes out and about, since Yang and Li are too big to do so without issue. Yang may be able to phase through walls but his Aura is extremely intimidating even for Erlang's hounds. and Li is far too big to be able to fit comfortably in most places. Jinjing knows DPT, can retrieve Tao's medicine on command, and helps to break them out of anything from a spiraling episode to ADHD paralysis (Not a medical term). Those big blue flowing antennae can act as hands if she really wants to use them. The webbed collar is backwards to help with drag in the water. when she flips it out, it helps slow her down in the water and causes drag. She can also inflate it enough to keep her head above water.
Li Yun (Height: 6'0" Feet)
The newest of the familiars, Li is the second most intimidating of the them. They can summon lightning storms at will and are capable of absorbing electricity. Their barks can sound for miles, and wherever they step, thunder and lightning are said to follow. They are generally neutral in most affairs and are more reserved than their Fire and Water counterparts. If Li isn't running about and stretching their legs, they're either in Tao's incense burner/their pokeball, patrolling Megaopolis from the rooftops, or by their Master's side.
• Feelers by his ears that allow him to sense the most subtle changes in the atmosphere.
Past/Future Sight
Able to see into the past or future. This ability is very different how his mother Liu Er sees into the past and future. Tao can only see one type of vision at a time. The triggers for both visions are very different and he can only see one type at a time. The inner color of his each represent the past (Purple) and the future (Yellow). When having either vision, his eye swill glow a pearlescent white color, and some kind of sparkling dust matching the color of the inside ear comes out of the corresponding set of ears.
The past visions are usually triggered by physically touching an object that either has a spirit or spiritual energy attached. Places that have a lot of spiritual energy can also trigger a vision the moment Tao finds a high enough concentration of energy. Sometimes he will move around during these visions, coming to in places he didn't pass out in.
Future visions are different with the exception of the glowing eyes and yellow dust. These visions can happen at any time, and leave Tao completely immobile until it ends.
Those who ingest the dust from either set of ears will temporarily gain the ability of future sight or past visions. These only have one use and may drive one mad the more they ingest. Humans and demons from all over sought to capture Tao for his oracle abilities, and to collect the dust he creates during a future vision.
Yang Samadhi Fire
Unlike what has been told about this powerful flame, in reality it was split into two seperate pieces long before the birth of Red Son. Tao possesses the 'Yang Half' of this flame, equally as powerful as the 'Yin' Half Red Son was born with. What is different about this flame is that ist is less likely to be triggered by emotion, but for Tao anger is the only trigger outside of activating the flames himself.
The flame tends to have more untriggered power behind it despite being of equal power to the Yin half. This flame tends to have a higher power output in the spring and summer months in accordance to Yin and Yang. It is a calmer flame compared to the Yin half, which feeds off of the emotions of it's host, and in Red Son and Mei's case makes it harder for the host to control their emotions.
The Yang Half of the flames is the only thing capable of completely calming the flames of the Yin.
In the primal days, the combined flames were said to scorch anything it touched into nothing, and was split in two in an attempt to mitigate the intense damage it caused when it raged unchecked. For the time being, the Samadhi Fire will remain seperated until the proper time.
Water Manipulation
The ability to use and manipulate water (In a similar mannter to the water benders of ATLA, but with some differences.) to his whim.
Thanks to the maleability of the water in his body plus the blessing of the White Snake, Tao is able to extend his limbs far past their normal limits. when using this ability they can move around as if there are no bones in his arms. They can also extend and retract at will.
An extension of this ability is an extremely dangerous one,
Blood Bending
Tao is able to control the blood of living beings, being completely capable of controlling their bodies. Most beings can attempt to resist and break free, but anyone blood related to Tao will be unable to control their body until he releases them. This only works on Wukong, Macaque and Chun. Tao doesn't like using this power often, however he often uses liquid bending to help defeat any construct that uses a similar circulatory-like system.
When they were younger, Tao would often cause some unintentional issues, as when she cried, rain would start to fall in a certain raduis around him and quickly become monsoon level rains if left unchecked.
Siren Song
Tao has a singing voice similar to the likes of sea sirens, being able to influence and/or control others through his voice. His voice is also powerful enough to rip flesh off of bone should he choose to use it, or cause the user hearing it to go mad. However this power is rarely used due to Tao not wanting to cause potential death and/or property damage. The inside of her mouth glows yellow when using this ability.
Glamours/Illusions
Tao can use glamour to take on a human appearance at any time, and prefers to not look so much like a monkie. He can also make illusions with his shadow abilities.
Water Warping/Portals
Tao is capable of using a very unique method of travel similar to shadow warping. The main difference is the stream of magic that is being used. Warping through water is usually done by oracles, as the stream of water magic used to travel is also the closest to the timespace stream, the flow of time and space around that entire dimension, In it's own pocket dimension, a seemingly strange place where water flows around breathable air in a tubelike tunnel from all sides. This is an area that only oracles can access, and with the floating islands scattered about it is safe for them to make living areas there.
Water Portals
These take more concentration to use, but are very handy for travel; as the requirement for warping is different. Unless the place is somewhere Tao has visited before, he can warp to and from any large puddle or body of water to anywhere in the world, even places he hasnt visited before.
Tao can also breathe underwater, but doesn't really need to breathe at all.
Primal Diety
Tao and his sister have full control over certain elements, regardless of the control gods from China and other pantheons have. In other words, an example being that the gods of the sea (ex. Posiedon) loose their control if Tao extends his control of water to the entire planet, same with fire.
Misty Form
Tao can turn himself into mist at will and change back at any time. He is more succeptable to being trapped in items like jars with an airtight lid or enchanted items of the same ilk, but he can return to a shrunken form at any time, or change back to his normal size and potentially break the item holding him if it isn't strong enough to contain him.
Fairly Recent Abilities
Tao was kidnapped by the Spider Queen some time during her attempted takeover of Megaopolis in the season 2 finale. See tried to turn them into a spider demon, but the only thing the venom did was give her silk glands in her hands that produce high quality enchanted silk (Silk moth like silk). This is abnormal since there is no other creature that can create enchanted silk naturally, so Spider Queen took quick advantage of this, using Tao as a silk producer for her takeover. Unfortunately making so much silk at once caused Tao's pawpads to become agitated and inflamed, and they stopped producing enchanted silk. Fortunately he managed to escape before the Lady Bone Demon tried to capture him for his half of the Samadhi fire.
The silk strands come out through the pawpads on their hands, and by pressing them together and stretching his arms apart, the silk forms into thick, glowing strands with each motion. This raw material can be used in many products from clothing to armor to fabric.
Misc. Info
• Tao is capable of storing immense amounts of magical power and has more potent magic than his twin sister. His snake heads, when not hands can sink their fangs into a person and suck their life essence and even their soul from their body.
• They a connection to death and the 10 kings, and his mist magic is capable of acting on its own and raising the dead, mainly those who's lives were tragically cut short.
• She sometimes sleepwalks, and depending on the phase of the tide, either moves around like a slow shambling zombie (low tide) or gets aggressive in his sleep and goes into water kaiju form (High Tide). this is one of the only times the water form becomes aggressive.
• Being physically intersex leaves him a target for European alchemists from all over.
• Sometimes purple and gold christhamanthemums spring from her bare feet whenever they touch natural ground. (Think Amaterasu from okami when she runs) these flowers have very potent medical properties.
• Their familiars are an extension of his magic and personality given form, and usually reside in his incense burner/Pokeballs/Shadow (Yang only) when not needed or resting.
• Her fire antlers were once crystal-like purple horns, that upon awakening the samadhi fire burst into flame. These flames started small in the beginning, but grew with age. They shrink to a smaller size during sleep.
That's everything I have at this time! This will be updated each time there is a change or new reference image. If you've read this far, thank you for actually reading all the way through! I would give you a cookie if I could. Tao is one of my most developed OCs, and I hope you've enjoyed reading this, I put a lot of research into him and the AU he's a part of as a whole, and I can go into more detail on the world building I've done at a later date if anyone is interested!
