Height: 6'2" (~187 cm)

Appearance:


Personality: All in all, Yi Tao Hong is a man of many things, though the top three traits to be matched with him would likely be professional, stoic, and blunt, among many other factors, as well. Having been raised in somewhat of a business oriented family - regardless of how loving they have always been to him - the fact of the matter is that he himself had eventually taken the mantle of professionalism a little bit more seriously, as well as into constant practice, and such a fact shows through his demeanor rather easily. In regards to general mentality, he settles for looking at most things within an objective manner at the end of the day, and is thus never quite afraid of delivering information that most may not necessarily want to hear, though still need to hear, regardless- though he does take care to take a fair degree of tact and consideration into account, as well, unless his patience were to have been run dry beforehand, and his pettiness given a means to take over. Many perceive his blunt and straightforward nature to be rude, but the truth of the matter is that he is simply being honest, and that he often has no fear in confronting important matters, as well as telling any given person what they may need to hear, or perhaps even his wholeheartedly honest and personal opinion on a given matter.

...So in other words?
If he thinks that your behavior is idiotic, uncouth, unprofessional, or otherwise, he would have little to no problem at all calling you out on it.

Despite this, however, many would find themselves mistaken to think that he is pompous, presumptuous, or uncaring altogether, because the fact of the matter is that these qualities are quite the opposite of his true demeanor, regardless of how matters may appear to be at first. Where people think he is pompous, he simply is confident in his statements and opinions, and truthfully shuns mindless ignorance. Where people think he cares little about what he says, as well as the effect of his words, he truthfully does think upon his remarks more often than not- and it is due to this fact that - even if he delivers a blunt and achingly hard hitting remark - he would follow it up with an equally as blunt piece of advice in order to support another, more times than not. His common expression is one that remains unreadable to many due to its seemingly eternal state of deadpan, though the closer you become to him - even if the goal in itself is somewhat hard to achieve, as a result of his natural skepticism - the more one would realize his subtle hints of sensitivity, as well as the faint indications of amusement and other emotions when taking specific topics, hobbies, or otherwise into deeper account.

He is a keen specimen, and one that takes observation as a favored past time, even if he refrains from openly expressing as such. Details are his domain, and he can and will notice near to all that a given subject may have to exhibit before him prior to stating it aloud, or perhaps even noting it for future reference for whatever reason- and this is why liars would do best to beware when around him, as he would likely be able to call out most lies on the spot, or at least have an overbearing amount of skepticism radiating from his being upon catching wind of a lie to the point where the liar themselves would possibly find themselves discomforted while he remains hot on their tail.

It should also be noted that - in a stark contrast to many other incubi - he truthfully shuns most forms of physical contact unless given by those that he trusts, and thus feels rather revolted in what he must to in order to sustain his own livelihood. As a result, he often refrains from using his drainage abilities unless absolutely necessary, and even then, prefers to use them sparingly for his own sake, as well as those around him. Being the rather traditional and professional man he is, he finds excessive amounts of physical contact to be quite unnecessary, and although he would allow it to happen in the accounts of family, as well as other, more trusted friends and individuals, may remain neutral or unresponsive to most forms of contact, even then. However, the more he trusts another, the more likely he himself is to be openly affectionate to another- even if it still remains sparingly so.

In fact, it would do well to know that trust and openness come hand in hand with Tao, and one would have a higher chance of learning more of his interests, aspirations, and more with the more he trusts another. Often times, many are surprised to discover that he has a love for art, music, and even dancing and games, though they are still loved past times of his, and ones that do, indeed, contrast from his normal demeanor. They would also discover his distaste for dishonesty, his love for family, and his truthful sensitivity beneath all of the fortified layers of his mentality when tried long enough, in addition to many other factors, as well.

Of course, finding out as such is still a difficult task in most scenarios, as his trust would still have to be earned to begin with unless one managed to observe these facts with a passing eye.



Name of Species: Panthera/Incubus (Hybrid)

Baseline Dimension:


Human Form
(Panthera) || When in human form a Panthera will generally have an sleek, athletic build. The average height for an Adult Panthera is 5 ft 9 in human form, however this can vary depending on the individual traits, gender etc. The Average male will weight around 87kg give or take whereas the average female will weigh around 80kg give or take. A panther usually has feline ears in human form, but some more advanced Panthera can hide these to look human.

(Incubus) || Much like humans, no two incubus look the same. However, it'd be a lie to say that they come in all shapes and sizes. Most pure bred incubus range from well toned to extremely muscular, and they are usually all on the taller side of the male population, generally being 5'10 or taller. The weight that they carry is all over the place due to the weight distribution however, the average of most of the male demons is around 165lbs.

Intermediate Panthera Form
In this form the individual takes on the form of a Panther, a long black feline with powerful jaws. They can be up to seven ft long, and weigh up to 250 pounds depending on the individual.

Advanced Panthera Form
This is the advanced form of a Panthera, a combination of human and feline. They take on a new form entirely, growing larger in size, muscles thickening, fur all over their bodies and feline faces. This is the most powerful form of a Panthera. They can grow up to seven foot in height and weigh up to 120 kg.

Baseline Appearance:

Human Form
While many from either one of his species fields are capable of changing their own appearances to their own liking, Yi Tao himself never quite saw the point in altering his own looks for beneficial purposes, and has thus simply settled for keeping his natural form in shape. As such, his hair as such a deepened shade of brown that it often appears black unless in proper lighting, and is of a medium length with a fair amount of fluff and volume within it all the same. His eyes are a brighter, piercing hue of jade, and this is due to a fair degree of genetics straining from his mother's side of the family- but they have been known to glow the standard gold of an incubus every so often when the aforementioned's traits become more prominent for whatever reason. As a result of both of his primary bloodlines, his form is a taller and well built one; standing at a height of 6'2" (~187 cm), and weighing in at an average of 210 lbs (~95 kg), with a good portion of the given weight being of lean muscle influenced by both species and physical routines alike. Alongside this, he has a full sleeve tattoo of a primarily black eastern dragon with eyes, mane, and some scales of crimson upon his right arm, but - more often than not - it remains hidden beneath his common style of clothing, and anything between the end to the lower half of its tail is ever seen upon the back of his hand, as well as his forearm.

Due to his partial lineage as a Panthera, he also hosts a pair of panther ears atop his head, as well as a tail to match. His canines are also a slight bit sharper than most.

Intermediate Panthera Form
In its own simplicity, Tao's most common, intermediate Panthera form takes the basic build of any other panther that one would see within the wild, save for some differences. Within this form, he hosts and boasts the more feral and traditional appearance of a panther; down to the sleek, glistening fur coat of ebony, as well as the stature upon four pads that those of its species are known to travel with. By virtue of being of Panthera lineage, however, his form is much larger than a wild panther itself; measuring at an approximated length of 6 feet and 10 inches (~185 cm) from nose to tail tip, and weighing in at an approximated 544-545 lb (~247 kg) on average, as well. At the tips of each paw are a set of retractable claws, in addition.

Advanced Panthera Form
As far as Tao's advanced Panthera form goes, he takes the general appearance of a bipedal Panthera; one most akin to the general stature of the mythological werewolf, for a frame of reference. Being the middle grounds between beast and human forms alike, he still retains his pads upon his feet, as well as his retractable claws, but still maintains features such as thumbs, human speech, and other factors of the sort. This particular form also stands at about the same height as his intermediate form's length, and weighs about the same, as well, though the weight altogether is allocated differently, and in a way that a well build human male would have his weight distributed, instead. As such, both his upper and lower body would be evenly toned and augmented in this form. However, due to personal reasons, he often refrains from using this form, and much prefers to use his intermediate form if ever needed.

Culture/Origin of Species:

It is said that over a ten thousand years ago, there was a man who is now referred to as Panthera’s Saviour. This individual was walking through the woods when he found an injured Panther, cautious he approached with the intention of killing it for food. However when the female panther looked weakly at the man with it's bright golden eyes, the man could not bring himself to kill to beast. Instead, he proceeded to help the creature, washing it's wounds and using the animal hide from his clothes to wrap the wound. He found it food and fed her, until she was strong once more. The creature had grown so attached to it's saviour, that from then on the panther followed him around. Staying by his side, hunting with him and protecting him. They grew close, their friendship stronger than that of any human companions. However eventually the man fell feverish and ill, his body grew weak and it appeared as though he may die. It was then that the female panther left, disappearing without a trace. Lying in a cave somewhere on the outskirts of Mistere, the man waited to die, believing that his only friend had abandoned him. When the cave was filled with a strange light, manifesting before him was a goddess.

It is believed that the Earthen goddess was in fact trapped in the body of the Panther, as a punishment for being a selfish diety. However growing to love the human man, and the despair she felt over his sickness had allowed her to become free once again. As a thank you, she blessed this man with a new magic, the Spirit of the Panthera. He fell into a deep sleep and when he woke, he was completely healed, born again with a new much more powerful body. This was the beginning of the Panthera species.
The Panthera species slowly spread over the centuries until their were eventually several tribes. They are natural warriors / hunters, and pride themselves on being a powerful species.

(Incubus)

When the Ancient War ended, the first set of incubi were created. Their will was created in the time of mating for the animals, so their carnal desires for lust were created first and then like man, the physical bodies of the first incubi were completely human but the chemicals that came from Hisakawa influenced their body structure, causing them to gather attention whether they seeked it or not as well as providing them with a body that could help with their basic motivation to live. Their female counterparts, succubus, were completely uninterested in them and the incubi felt no way about them either. However, when in times of underpopulation, the two would rely on each other as essentially an infinite source of energy, although they found no fun in the experience. And when you are beings that completely focus on having fun with the suffering of those beneath them, this got rather dry. The two species have a mutual agreement to stay away from each other except in cases of extreme desperation.
Generally, times when there were cases of various women of different statures, whether be noblity or even common folk, disappearing and never even having left a trace, it was most likely an incubus who drained their body completely of their life energy before their body was left with nothing and completely faded into dust. None were ever really caught leading to some of the greatest disappearance cases left to the world to wonder what happened. The crafty demons generally only choose the victims to kill if they bugged them in an annoying fashion or treated them as something lesser. They are beings of pride so they always aim to knock those who view themselves as above them down a peg. Usually, this results in them becoming a power source for the incubi and the incubus just having another body to hide.
They blend in extremely well in society but usually can be pointed to strings of disappearance cases that specify around females. However, with the newest generation, incubus don't really care about what they absorb energy from specifically causing them to become more of a nuisance than anything. The incubi are extremely prideful beings that are completely aware of what they are doing when it comes to influencing people with their looks and always strive to be above the rest. They are completely aware that their abilities seem limited to appearance but with each generation growing more unique, incubi are a force to be reckoned with.

• Libido - All incubus are physically in shape, far past the peak performance of a human being. As a result of this, as well as an appearance effect, it simply makes them appear extremely fit as this is the origin of their fast metabolisms and quicker physical fitness results.
• Drain - When the incubi make physical contact with someone, they can choose to drain the physical life energy of the person. This causes the person to experience a rush of fatigue and neediness. Being drained by an incubus is incredibly dangerous due to it having an addictive property. The incubus benefits from the life energy causing them to feel more alive after an encounter with an eager person. More advanced incubi are completely well versed enough that they don't need to make physical contact and can even drain energy from people's thoughts and sustain themselves completely off of that instead.

Flaws:

• Weaker by day : Panthera are generally a nocturnal species meaning that by day their abilities are dulled making them more human. Usually a Panthera will sleep in as long as they are capable, and are generally tired throughout the day.

(Incubus)

• Insatiable - Incubus have incredibly addictive personalities so it can lead to various issues whether it revolves around their lust for power, people, fame, or even just substances that they can easily abuse. Once an incubus gets a taste of something that they really like, they will stop at nothing to get as much of it as possible, sacrificing everything they have to offer, body, mind, and soul.
