'''Background'''  

Coaxoch, (Cow-wah-show-k) - As according to the prophecy of her birth, Coaxoch was born with an affinity for serpents, and affinity which the serpents returned. They named her the "serpent flower", and it was no surprise that she later took a rare and deadly winged viper as her companion. They spent many years perfecting the battle strategy of a warrior with a venomous attack, and over time, she was considered the strongest of her tribe and became heavily relied upon in battle. While most warriors would have relished in the glory, she began to loath the position. Just when the monotony of raiding and pillaging was growing too much for her to stomach, she was given the opportunity to follow a new career pathway...

She had been sent out under the shaman and healer Teoxihuitle with a few other warriors to take down a caravan passing through their hunting grounds. Given the skill level or both herself and the healer, a small party was all that was required. For some reason, this angered the healer. After taking the caravan, Coaxoch found a barrel of 'Ixtapan Ale' among the supplies. Thinking it a great way to get the overreacting healer to relax a bit, they cracked open the barrel and celebrated their victory. While Coaxoch and her warriors were accustomed to celebrating with ale, the healer had no such experience, and proceeded to get fairly intoxicated, after a lengthy discussion, Teo struck a bargain. In return for her services as a body guard and warrior, Coaxoch would receive weekly payments - in the form of the 'communion'. (small biscuit like cookies that have a very special, highly addictive ingredient...yes thats right, she is the stoned meth-head fighter. MMA anyone?)

After making a written agreement on parchment found amongst the caravan, Coaxoch happily follows Teo to whichever dangers they might find, completing trivial tasks or epic battles - knowing that as per their agreement, payment will be delivered twice a week. 

'''Personality''' 

Most things will be deemed too much effort as far as coax is concerned; she will not bother to help a stranger, or rescue children from sand beasts – unless there is something in it for her, or the task is a direct order of course.  Her laziness might also confuse – going 100 miles out of her way through the desert to avoid a sand beast isn’t that big of a deal (they’re a pain in the ass…), but on the other hand she’d rather slaughter a whole caravan than bother trying to sneak past unseen. It all comes down what is easiest for her at the time... As the highest ranking warrior of her people, she is quite accustomed to making all decisions regarding how she attacks - who, why and where she attacks however, has always been the task of the leaders. This gives Coaxoch a seemingly obedient streak, but only if the person giving the orders is deemed worth following. Any weakling or coward that attempts to order her around would end up missing a limb at least...

Oh, and she likes long jogs on the dunes, and is partial to staring blankly at people for extended periods of time. And be warned: it does not end well for those that harm her snake Crowley…

'''Catchphrase'''

“Whatever… Got any cookies?"

'''Description'''

She is the average athasian elf – tall and wirey. She stands just under 6'6 weighs 190lbs, with wide shoulders and lean muscled frame. Breed from desert raiders, she has well tanned skin and dark hair – not that she ever lets her hair be seen in its natural shade… Coaxoch has a love for coloring her hair, and has settled on a gem like magenta for the time being. Her eyes are ice blue, and stand out in sharp contrast to the many tattoos adorning her body. (She has the Aztec serpent on her head as homage to the bond with her snake Crowley, as well as the bands of a warrior around her arms and thigh. Her prowess earned her the broad tattoo around her neck – signifying her rank with her people.) 

Her clothes are sparse to allow for running in the heat of the desert, though she wears a sarong around her waist should the sands ever demand she take cover. Her boots stop below the knee and are made of sand-shark skin.  The many feathers in her hair and around her armor mark each major battle won, though she stopped keeping track lest she start looking like a bird.  Her wrist razors – retractable blades fashioned out of the jaw and ragged teeth of some unfortunate beast that bared its fangs…
