Name: Saleem al-Yousif Gender: Male Species: Rattlesnake Affiliation: Snake Tribe Weapons and Gear: A sword with a hilt that looks like a rattle, and a tall brown staff with many small bones tied to it and a sharp, curved, spoon-like top. Appearance: His primary body color is yellow, his secondary scale color being brown. He has stripped brown scales going down his chest and lower body, his head is the same shape as the Anacondrai head mold from Ninjago (the smaller one, not Pythor's), he has one green eye and one red eye. He wears a torn up brown cape with snake tribe symbols on it. The cape has a hood that he can pull over his head. He has a long grey beard. The beard does not go above his bottom jaw. He doesn't have legs, rather, he just has the standard LEGO snake tail lower body with a rattle at the end. Personality: Everyone who has met Saleem questions his sanity. His voice strangely shifts from high-pitched to low-pitched frequently, and he often maniacally laughs until his throat gets soar and he switches to a fit of coughing. The other snakes call him "The Mad Alchemist". He lives a mile from the main snake city, in a two-story hut where he studies alchemy, makes potions, and conducts experiments. The other snakes question his allegiance, but The Mad Alchemist always works for the snake queen when she has tasks that require his skill. For many years Saleem has been trying to create a potion that will bring the smashed back to life, and he claims to have almost found the answer. Backstory: Saleem al-Yousif is ancient. He was part of the first generation of snakes who drank the chi 1,000 years ago after the turtles created the rivers of chi leading into the south. After drinking chi, Saleem started plugging chi and testing its power by smashing rocks. As he rammed himself into a rock formation in the desert, he was hit on the head by a toppled-over boulder, and from then on claimed to have been "enlightened on the true nature of the universe". He became an alchemist and continued his studies for hundreds of years, watching monarchs claim leadership of his species, only to fall. Saleem lived through the reigns of every past snake king or queen, occasionally carrying out tasks for the current leaders. 20 years ago, during the Turtle-Piranha war, Saleem travelled to Carapace Cove to obtain ocean water for a potion, and found himself stuck in the middle of a battle. Commander Pirex, seeing use for the alchemist, saved him from being destroyed in the crossfire, and in return, Saleem promised that he would help Pirex when the latter attempted to take over the Piranha Tribe. Saleem al-Yousif then obtained ocean water and returned to his home in the desert.
(OOC: Alrighty, time for plot projection. ) -after a few hours in the dusk and soon be early night, a conglomerate of the new Snake Queen’s men arrived to his hut via Flygon Technical. The snakes all had seemingly faces of concern, as they havent given him the news of the new queen (that being a Serperior named Sa’Rahn Qa’eela) deposing the old one’s rule. (That old one being Sa’Qhala, he was loyal to her once, right? ) -They knocked on his door hard and shouted harshly in hisses, guns being locked and loaded heard-
“Mhla! Fath fi hunak, Sssssalim Alyusssssf! Nati mae risssssalat min 'ahamiya!!!” (Translation: “Hey! Open up in there, Saleem al-Yousif! We come with a message of importance!!!”)
-they kept knocking on his door-
“Yzhr! Nahn bihajat 'iilana 'an 'aqul lakum min alaintiqal almalaki! Ealayk 'an takun khadieatan lqaedt jdydt, walaihtimam ladayna almalikat aljadidat 'aw dafe mae hayatik!” (Translation: “Come out! We need to tell you of a royal transition! You'll be subject to new rule, heed to our new Queen or pay with your life!!!” ) -they said in angst, and in the Technical laid the new Queen, waiting to see this new “traitor” of her kingdom...-
The front door slowly creaks open...and then, when they think it's going to open slowly, it bursts open, to the surprise of the soldiers. A yellow and brown rattlesnake slithers out, his rattle twitching. Saleem al-Yousif: "A new queen, you ssssay? Interessting, but not unexpected...I have ssseen many kings and queensss come to passs." (His voice strangely shifts in tone and pitch as he says this.) He slithers up to the parked vehicle, seemingly ignoring the soldiers around him even as their guns are pointed at him. Saleem al-Yousif (bows to the queen): "Queen SSSa'Rahn Qa'eela...it isss an honor to...once again...meet the brand new monarch of the sssnakes. Ssso how did you overthrow the previousss queen? What will become of your tribe'sss alliance with the...owls and flygonss??"
(OOC: Duuurr... me dont know compass directions, fixed it and emboldened it. )
(Blatant rip off is blatant. I will have something more original when I have more time to pour into it. North is up, right is west.)
The Aquilan Kaiserreich, or simply Aquilan Empire, occupies a vast amount of land in northern Chima. A few dozen towns of varying sizes are dispersed amongst the north border, who touches the Northern Sea. There is also a large body of water down south (the white stain down south). The region has central European climate. Just plop the nation in the north and I'll be satisfied, preferably bordering countries with similar climates.
(OOC: What climate is your country then? we need a good nature transition, also i had no other choice, but to use the middle-eastern part of the world as to plot down the desert tribes so expect a territory that looks alot like saudi arabia. )

Did you mean right is east, or no?
Oh, yes, right is easy, sorry. That's what I get for posting late in the night.

(OOC: Wait, Sa’Rahn isnt a Serperior, she’s a Seviper, just had to change my mind on which Poké-snek she is. ) -The Queen peers deeply into Saleem’s eyes then to his entire face, her blood-red fangs shining in the desert sunset- Sa’Rahn: “Ssssa’Qhala issssss sssstilll technically in control... sssssad to sssay... her heart was Ssssstolen by that Flygon King, and dare he crown himsssself the entire king of the entirety of dessssert land... honesssstly, by the looks of all these men pointing their weaponsssss at you...” -she pauses, her bladed tail slowly curling and coiling in the sand before she pokes herself with it-
Sa’Rahn: “But, from their undoubted troupe, i would ssssspare thee for your... asssssissstancessss... on the terms of alliancessss... I as her handmaiden, would keep her reign under my... control... “ -she looked serious about it, as her piercing red eyes shimmered in the light-
Sa’Rahn: “Sssssince the Queen will go on with Flygarra’s crussssssadessss, i think it’ssss besssst, if you help the Piranhasssss in their deedssss of war... to help your old... friend...” -she said with a smile and wink- “It will get us Desert tribes a good ally in the sssssouth... sssso go on, help them, do whatever you cannto make them win the war... oh, and if you see a certain... hybrid turtle (that being Tidéus)... bring him to me, so i can ssssssend him off for Flygarra to handle...” -she said, her bladed tail soon slowly looming to Saleem’s neck and the purple part of it glowed in a dangerous bio-luminous poision, her face looking too serious- “...or elsssssse....”
-Kyuru hisses quietly and slowly walks away from this sensless bickering-
(OOC: Ding-dong! I already answered your question! )
Leonardo finally shows the ambassadors the newly built embassy tower.
-Kyuru coldly (pun un-intended) accepts it and treats it as if a new home to her and her advisors-
-Suddenly, Groose’s theme plays as Gick Gumshoos suddenly runs into the tower with news, comically trampling over unlucky pedestrians that happened to get in the way of his-
Gick: “Ey Boss! Booooooossss! Iah gots some new news on ol’ Flygarra!”

OOC: The northern regions experience mild summers and winters, due to their proximity to the Northern Sea. The climate is similar in regions bordering bodies of water, and fog is common. Inland, the climates are much more accentuated, with very cold winters, and warm summers. Rain, snow, and cloudy days are common.

-The X-Quaza is in mere miles away from the territory of the UMFA, i grin, all with an too evil smile-
“Oh ladies and Otto...” -i said calmly- “... i do suspect a landing in the area ASAP, so do be dearys for me and get the landing-gear out, for me?” -i said, with a very sly smile, thinking of all the things i could do to the President of the UMFA-

-Kyuru Hisses out loudly and angrily turns twoards Gick, scaring him-
Gick: “Uuhh... he’s thinking of literally wiping out all living Aggrons here on chima or somethin that relates to his X-Quaza or somethin’...”
-After Kyuru hears such dark and foreboding news, she releases a shrieking hiss that echos and scares many people for many miles, seemingly heard by all of chima, which comically collapses the already-built tower they are in-
-once the rubble and collapsing is done, Kyuru pouts and waits for the tower to be rebuilt again, Gick comically being crushed under her-

The pedestrians prevent themselves from falling to the ground by creating ice shields on their backs to take the blows of the falls.
(After decade's other post)
Leonardo scowls and has construction workers escort the visitors outside the city walls as the rubble of the embassy tower is cleaned up. The construction workers comically dump a pile of materials and tools on top of the visitors. Leonardo says dryly: "If you want to construct an embassy on this mountain, please, be my guest." The snow leopards go back inside the city as the gates close.
