BACKGROUND:

Upon his birth Kerrik was viewed as...odd. A strange thing. A mixture of a blessing and curse depending upon those you spoke to. Kept at claws length from others Kerrik grew under the impression that his differences were something unwanted. That he was unwanted. He couldn't control that his scales glowed beneath moon cast shadows, or that it made him so different compared to others. His parents didn't treat him any differently from his siblings, but the rest of the tribe didn't bother to hide their contempt of the young dilo.

As Kerrik grew from hatchling to juvenile to young adult another oddity made itself known; his venom. This was discovered accidentally. An older male had been harassing the younger Kerrik and in a fit of rage he attacked the older dilo, tearing through scales until the male slumped to the bloodied earth. His convulsing body and garbled noises drew the attention of some of the elder members of the tribe who recognized the symptoms of the now dying male. Venom. However, it wasn't from a snake, but from Kerrik. That day marked a turning point for Kerrik and his family. No longer was he openly mocked or looked at with contempt; rather, he was viewed with a mixture of fear and respect. No one dared confront him directly anymore, but no matter how the majority of the tribe viewed him there were still others who detested his existence.

By the time Kerrik was fully mature, he'd developed a bit of an ego and, he secretly thrived off the fear he instilled in those he met. Kerrik hasn't openly killed another since that day, but won't hesitate to tear the throat out of another if they irk him.
