  As a hydra, Herith has multiple forms, one animal and one human for each head, although he can also assume a half-way form. His different forms also have different names.
  
  
  *The main head is a brown-eyed, boy with short black hair and medium height and build. He usually wears casual clothing. His animal form is the hydra, a lizard-like monster with multiple heads, each having the shape of a different animal (wolf, dolphin, crow, horse, scorpion, goat, cat and horseshoe crab), but with sharp piranha teeth in each one and guiles. The main head in that form has the appearance of a dragon, and the horseshoe crab head has four lizard legs of it`s own. The half-way form is his human form with the remaining heads sprawling off his back.

• Personality
  
  Each of Herith`s heads has it`s own personality, and they are all shards of the Herith`s original persona. However, they all reverence Herith, to the point of obeying whatever he says. The only exception to this is Garium, who does not always obey Herith, although he still wants his safety.
  
  
  Herith- Herith is the main head of the hydra and therefore his personality is the one where the others come from. Through his life, he has dealt with many internal conflicts, that spawned his different heads. He is the leader of among them, the master, despite not being exactly the leading kind of person. He is hard-working ingenuous, although also rather clumsy. He is somewhat humble in that he doesn`t take himself in high regard and is willing to go through much to get the acceptance he wants and for his friends, to whom he is loyal all the way. However, he does have a limit, a minimum of dignity and pride he`d still like to preserve. He is contradicted by how much he should trust the world, having the tendency to shift between being naïve and overly cautious depending on his mood of the day. Another major conflict of his regards the hydra`s reputation- how is he to cope with wanting to befriend the world, while his kind is seen as either a destructive monster or a deceptive one? Is his human upbringing more or less valuable than the tendencies of his species? Anyway, Herith is curious by nature and tends to contemplate on all the “what ifs” of most situations. Because of this, he often ends up daydreaming. Peace loving and caring, Herith will always try to keep a good mood around his friends, although he can be a bit shy with the female gender. He will always try to crack a joke, nomatter how bad, just in case it isn`t.
  
  
  Lupus-The wolf head values knowledge, loyalty and hard-work. He is nearly emotionless and rather dense, but will still protect those Herith or the other heads care for. He is obedient to almost anyone, taking most orders and avoiding them only if they can harm another head or someone another head cares for. However he has a minor understanding of society and therefore has no such things as “shame” or “pride” and does not understand why other people have them. Due to his lack of understanding he will often let himself be driven by his curiosity, asking questions without discretion. His hobbies mostly lay on reading and working. He represents Herith`s curiosity, ingenuity, loyalty and humbleness.
  
  
  Bacus- The dolphin head values fun, freedom and a “good” sense of humor. He is somewhat lazy and enjoys diligently cracking jokes and puns at any and all opportunities, and laughing loudly at them (regardless of whether they were funny for anyone else or not). He is cheerful and loves to cheer people, with his tendency to see the silver lining of almost any circumstance (unless it involves working). While he will not work hard, he may party hard and has a certain gluttonous nature to him. His hobbies include anything that doesn`t force him to do sports or think much. He represents Herith`s sense of humor, youthful spirits and desire to integrate.
  
  
  Saphira- The mare/horse head values friendship and kindness. She is caring, generous and tries to be as helpful as she can, often going out of her way. Her naïve and extremely selfless nature lead her into trying to help anyone and into her pacifistic and merciful tendencies. She has a certain charm to her, and always tries to be as polite and cheerful as possible, though she is also rather clumsy and tends to overreact and worry about things too much. She is also extremely shy before getting close to someone, by which points she blooms into her regular cheerful self. Her hobbies include babysitting, dog walking, gardening and doing charity works. She represents the caring and peace-loving side of Herith and his occasional clumsiness and his shyness.
  
  
  Thorn-The crow head values strength, determination, courage and honor. He is a rude person, with an intense sadistic streak. He is quite stubborn and can be easily enraged so he will often pick fights and stay in them until he can no longer move or he has defeated his opponent(s). He typically has little to no consideration on other people`s feelings, which leads him to a certain isolation, becoming a lone wolf. He prefers to inflict pain himself than watch or ear someone else do it, making him very apt and willing to do the dirty side of the job. He can, however, easily befriend a foe that he challenged and beat him honorably, although he will not resist pulling a prank here and there to satisfy his vengefulness. His hobbies include sports and boxing. He represents Herith`s hate and wrathful side.
  
  
  Dominic- The goat head values persistence, honesty and a any attempt to follow one`s moral code strictly. He is a man that follows his beliefs and holds them dearly. His pride and self-righteousness mostly make him who he is, feeling no remorse for any action he takes, but tending to overthink them and wait for a “right cause” before engaging in any conflict and refusing anything he considers “impure”. He holds life, above all else, as a thing of major importance, and will not hesitate to sacrifice almost everything else to preserve life, nomatter who`s life it is. Because of this, he is a very charitable person. He is also strictly honest and straightforward, to the point where he will have no regards to any offense his comments might contain. His hobbies are often contemplation of philosophical themes, reading and walking around visiting monuments. He represents Herith`s honesty and pride.
  
  
  Dorian- The scorpion head values dedication and wit. To him, knowledge is the key to every door. That, and his greatest pleasure: lying. He has the compulsive need for fooling others, even among his greatest allies and friends and deeply enjoys the moment other people find out they were tricked. Although he has a slight masoquistic strain, he is usually a pure coward who will flee at the sight of possible danger. He hobbies include acting and all sorts of games, especially card games since is particularly good at bluffing. He represents Herith`s mischief, trickery and wit.
  
  
  Fiona- The cat head values trust, eccentricity, boldness and beauty. She is often desperate for attention and will try to do anything she can to get as many people as possible with their attention focused on her. Although she often succeeds, it is not the kind of attention she`d prefer, which makes her to be more often than not envious of other, “luckier”, people, Saphira in particular. In fact, she considers the horse/mare head to be her rival and will often offer to take her place as much as possible, to prove herself better and more beautiful than her. Also because of her condition, Fiona can relate to people who are “weird” or “eccentric” and does her best to stand by their side. As long as there is visible effort, she doesn`t mind if someone is a clumsy idiot. In fact she is quite eccentric herself, and will often try to seduce people just prove she is beautiful, which mostly results in a giant failure. She is very trusting and wants others to trust her as much as possible too, especially because her dreamy and (very) sleepy attitude and state often cause her to fall asleep in weird times and places. Her hobbies are whatever she can do to pull attention to herself. She represents Herith`s loneliness and desire for recognition and his tendency to daydream.
  
  
  Garium- The horseshoe crab head values realism and strife. He is a skeptical person with the strict belief that the world is a dark and corrupted place that one should keep himself from. He will not allow himself to befriend anyone, and holds his own independence and freedom in high regards. Although he is lonely, he believes that it is better to be lonely than to be betrayed by those you allowed yourself to care about, which they will eventually do. To him, all beings are purely selfish, which he also uses to justify his own selfish behavior. In fact the only reason he strives to protect the main head is because, in spite of the fact he intends to make his own body, he is still connected to the main one. He is silent, mysterious and skilled. He has no hobbies other than perhaps observing people and commenting on the world`s darkness or (very rarely) a sport of some kind. He represents Herith`s skepticism and disbelief, as well as his fears.
  
  
  
• Magic/Spells
  
  Regeneration- His different bodies all can regenerate, although only when not under use. If a form is killed, Herith will automatically change to a different head, being the head that was killed becomes unusable for a while. The head will then regrow as a younger version of itself which will age back. Regeneration and aging speeds depend on the number of heads which are alive and without serious injuries.
  
  
  Shapeshifting: All of Herith`s heads share the ability to shapeshift into Herith`s other forms. While in the halfway and animal forms, Herith`s various heads gain characteristics from those animals, increasing physical attributes. Herith`s blood becomes acid and poisonous while Herith is in his halfway form and in hydra form, not only that, he is also capable of spitting the said poison and acid. He also able to breath underwater in those forms.
  
  
  Deal: Making a deal with a hydra makes it`s fulfillment mandatory should any of the parties do their part of it. However, during the process of making a deal, a hydra cannot lie and there has to be the specific statement that it is a deal from the hydra`s part prior to the explanation of the terms and consent to those terms.
  
  
  Transfer: The effect of this ability changes from head to head. However, all heads share that their eyes glow when triggering or ending the effect of Transfer.
  
  
  Herith-Transfers the part of the opponents life force into himself, healing himself and restoring his own energy, both in slight amounts, while having the opposite effect on the opponent. Once the effect has ended, it takes time to reutilized.
  
  
  Lupus-Transfers key identity information or the thoughts from the last minute from the target to Lupus.
  
  
  Bacus-Switches locations with the target.
  
  
  Saphira-Transfers energy from someone Saphira is touching to someone she can think of that is within a short distance. She cannot transfer energy onto herself, although she can transfer energy FROM herself. She can take energy from unwilling targets, however, only in limited amounts. Still, the shock will likely cause the one the energy was taken from to feel exhausted and unable to move or pass out.
  
  
  Thorn-He transfer the pain the target receives onto himself and the pain he receives onto the target. He can withhold the transfer of pain onto the target for a certain duration in order to transfer all the accumulated pain in a single moment, actually causing physical damage to the target. This, however, will exhaust Thorn and might even cause eternal hemorrhages in extreme scenarios.
  
  
  Dominic- He can switch senses with the target. What the target would see, hear, smell, taste or feel (in terms of touch not emotion), is transferred to Dominic and vice-versa.
  
  
  Dorian- He can creates fungi along his whole skin. However, they are just below the skin, so they are not visible. When someone or something comes in direct contact with Dorian while Transfer is active, these fungi will be automatically be transferred onto the surface that came in contact with Dorian (it counts with his clothes, of course). They cannot be removed except with extremely high temperatures or if Dorian removes them by turning of his power of making them explode. When Dorian snaps his fingers, he commands all the fungi that are not within him to explode, releasing acid onto the surface. This acid, while not corrosive to organic material, contains a toxin that renders organic material it reaches unusable for a few minutes or in case of large amounts of acid spreading in, hours or even days.
  
  
  Fiona-She can transfer the feelings associated with something to something else. For example, if she is singing next to someone who is eating a cake they really like, she may make them like hearing her sing instead of liking to eat the cake. This, of course, works for negative feelings as well. She can transfer a person`s feeling of hate from one thing to something else, for example. However, the person must be experiencing the feeling that is to be transferred so it can be. She also can only transfer one feeling from one thing to one other thing per person. Still, she can have any number of targets provided they are close by or within line of sight at the time of the transfer. The transference is maintained for as long as Fiora wishes to.
  
  
  Garium-He transfer the negative feelings (hate, sadness, fear and disdain/disgust) from everyone around him into himself. This may remove the will to fight at all from his opponents, should those opponents be fighting him because of one of those negative feelings. The retaining of negative feelings will usually leave Garium into a mad, psychopathic panic state whose intensity can vary depending on the amount of negative emotions. In that state, Garium`s personality cracks and he becomes aggressive towards almost everything that moves and animalistic, wild in his ways. His physical characteristics, however, are enchanced in that period, greatly. Additionally, being a head with it`s own forming body, he will spawn hydra heads on his back, similar to way the other heads spawn from the main head in his halfway form. This heads will be ghostly, but will become increasingly solid as more and more negative emotions are absorbed.
