Well I've edited my char to make it more suited.
Name: None, however the parasit goes by whatever the name of it's current Host is, or any other alias it wants to use.
Age: 15 years, however has gone through roughly 300 hosts in this time, gaining more knowledge as it passes from being to being. It's evolution has allowed it to retain powers from some hosts.
Appearance: In its' natural form the Leach is a foot long emerald scaled serpeant. The serpeant bears a double set of black insect wings and two small clawed arms. When residing inside a host the only physical change in the hosts body is the slow physcial decay caused by the Leach's presence. This leads to the body taking on a more and more cadavouros appearance with the passage of time.
Renown: The Leach is totally unknow of on earth, as it has been evolving over time with each new host, gaining more and more human mental ability. Beyond this the Leach gains whatever fame/infamy it's Host might have had.
Orgin: The Leach had previously inhabiteda few Hundred hosts in the Para woods. Most of them being Para-animals, but recentlly with it's increased ability and iteligence it has begun taking human hosts, however this has been a slow process and only reccently has it become fully capable of maintaing a human farce. It Now seaks out a more powerfull host with which to explore Earth beyond the forrest.
Personality: The Leach is a consumate role-player, and con-artist. It will use the shell of it's host to trick and decive anything and now anyone, it can, as long as it sees some type of gain for itself. Further, it is always seaking a new and more powerfull host to inhabit, even if only for a brief time. This drive is very strong and hard to supress. However, if the leach finds itself confronted by a being that it can not defeat, it will follow and aid it. For power attracts power, and the leach will either possess the more powerfull being in a moment of weakness, saying being bested by another powerfull opponent, or will possess the defeated foe of its new "ally". Therefore the leach is either your greatest ally, or your worst enemy...depending on how lucky you are.
Powers:
Natural Form
Body: The serpeant is unatrully tough, I bi-product of it's para-evolution, it's scales can resist most forms of stabing attacks and all but the highest calibur projectile weapons. It is imune to tempature change and poison, but electricty will stun it.
Infestation: The main power used by the leach. Can only be used on creatures with sufficent mass (at least a big house cat or medium dog) and with at least some inteligence. The leach must first enter the victims body, or at least imbed a claw into its nervous system. This power attacks the mind of it's victim, depending on the current condtion of the intended target it can resist..however if rendered unconcious from physical damage or pain, or exhausted by activity, a targets mental ability to resist is reduced. If the Vicitim fails to resist, their mind is invaded and entraped into a crystaline scale, of the same appearance of the serpeants, which forms in their heart.
Reproduction: The Leach can spawn copies of itself inside the body of its host, similar to the process of budding. This coppies retain a genetic memory of the orginal, but none of the powers it may have gained from it's previous hosts. (They know the diffrence between a human and a dog, but wouldnt know how to communicate by barking or speaking) These spawn grown by consuming the flesh and organs of the Host, this process will quickly (within a day) render the Host's body useless. The Leach must then leave it and find a new body. The spawn will remain, consuming the dying host or corpse for rougly a day before leaving the body in search of their own hosts.
Note: The new spawn are not as tough as the orginal, their scales are still not fully matured and therefore are only as powerfull as a normal snake.
Host Form
Soul scales: After the Leach takes a new body is can remove the soul scale from the previous body, through this the leach can use any of the ablilites of the previous host, but only one scale can be used in this manner at a time. Further, the Leach can expend the Gem to use one of the souls powers at an extremely inhanced level, (10X) but this destroys the scale, and may cause mental backlask capable of incapacitating the Leach and It's Host body.
Note: If the scales of the leach are stolen, It will do anything and everything to see them returned. For they contain part of it's own genetic memory. Also, anyone in possesion of a scale can find the leach if the have even minor sensory powers and the leach can always find its way to the scales.
Host Body: The leach can leave its host body at will (By tearing it's way out of the hosts spine/neck), but it can only be forced out by the destruction of the body.( note if and attack destroys the bodies imbeded soul scale the Leach loses control fo the body and is rendered unconcious) It posses the ablility to heal it's host body. Further whatever memories the Host had, skills and para abilites are useable by the Leach. Lastly, the Leach tends to run it's host hot, at least 103 degrees F. This diffrence can be detected, and also can be a problem for the leach in other ways..."He man, your burning up, are you ok?"
Note: If the host body is damaged to the point where it would die, severed limbs ect. The leach must enter into a regenerative trance, or leave the body at that time.
