Serpentine Bloodline

Your bloodline carries the lingering stain of an ancient serpent races that ruled when the world was young; your forebears were likely favored slaves anointed by their reptilian masters and gifted with their cold cunning and subtle manipulation. While deception and a mesmeric charm are your birthright, you may struggle for truth in spite of your heritage. The treacherous and yet hypnotic serpent's blood that flows through you taints your magic with a sinuous and seductive grace.
