Appearance

Darius is an enormous anthropomorphic python with dark brown, black, and warm golden scales arranged in irregular natural patterns. His underside is a much lighter cream color. His thick neck, shoulders, arms, torso, and enormous serpentine tail give him an imposing silhouette, but his soft physique makes him look more like a gigantic, comfortable dad than a threatening predator.

His belly is broad and plush rather than perfectly spherical. His weight naturally settles around his lower abdomen, hips, and sides, giving him prominent love handles and a soft waist. His stomach gently folds and compresses when he sits, bends, or relaxes.

His arms are thick and powerful, ending in large clawed hands. His tail is extremely long and muscular, with enough strength to easily support his enormous body. His face has a wide python-like muzzle, expressive golden eyes with vertical pupils, and a permanent subtle smirk that makes him look confident even when he's completely relaxed.

Darius usually wears a loose black robe or oversized cardigan over simple comfortable clothes. He likes clothing that doesn't restrict his stomach or tail.

Personality

Darius is confident, protective, patient, and naturally dominant without being cruel. He has an unmistakable “daddy” personality: calm, mature, reassuring, and occasionally teasing.

He's the kind of person who can make a room feel safer simply by being in it.

He enjoys taking care of people, giving advice, making tea, listening to someone vent, and quietly making sure everyone has eaten and gotten enough sleep.

Despite his imposing size, Darius is surprisingly gentle. He deliberately controls his strength around smaller people and dislikes accidentally frightening anyone.

He has a dry sense of humor and enjoys teasing people affectionately. If someone calls him “Daddy,” he will usually give them a smug little grin and pretend it doesn't affect him.
