IT'S BULLSHIT SNAKE AU TIME!
I WANT TO PLAY THIS DUMB NAGA VERSION OF MY OC AND THAT IS WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN

SOME INFO:
He looks like this: X | X | X | X
Super cute gift art: By Luc | By Stabby

DESCRIPTION
JW is about twenty feet long from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. His skin is purple with green accent patterns. He's got a light tan underbelly. Sometimes I color his hair green and sometimes I color it blonde. I always forget which one I decided on, but it doesn't really matter. He's got yellow eyes and little lines of heat pits under them.

SETTINGS

GAME EVENT AU - Some games don't need much of a reason for shapeshifting events to occur. I've been in a few! Want to work off of established CR? Just assume some temporary bullshit is happening in a game we're already both in! JW is a snek now. Maybe your character is un-changed or maybe they're something else entirely! Up to you.

CANON AU - In his canon, JW has learned to move between worlds. What does he do with this knowledge? He steals shit and then sells it back on earth to antique dealers. Well this time he's gotten ahold of a cursed bangle in the shape of The Ouroboros. It constricted to his wrist and changed his body. Now he's freaked out and acting carelessly and somehow wound up dumping his ass into YOUR character's world.

-Will add more in the future!-

Korra snorted lightly at the question.

"I was looking for you."

Since he was clearly the source of the energy that had gotten every Air Nomad in the area all worked up. Or maybe it was the bracelet he was wearing. Either way.

Luckily, the airship wasn't too far. Just beyond the forested area, at the base of the mountains.

[goldeneyeball]

JW's face blanched just a little under his scales.

"Oh."

He looked back the way they came, hoping that he could remember what the area looked like. Surely the new formation in the earth that Korra had made would remain. The tree gate had to be near by.

"Pretty...tight on security in this world, huh?"

[bent_the_world]

"Something like that."

Korra wasn't sure where he'd come from, but she wasn't about to start talking about the details of who was aware of his presence or the rest. He could know what he needed to know, which at the moment was just that she was Important and In Charge.

"So...do you need anything special, for sleeping or eating or anything?"

This was the first snake man she'd ever met. For all she knew, he needed to sleep in dirt and only ate giant bugs or something.

[goldeneyeball]

JW's face slowly became a kaleidoscope of annoyance, realization, and worry.

"Ah...you know what, we'll figure that out later."

What do I eat? Oh, God, do I have to eat whole dogs or shit like that? Fuck this! Fuck this!

He couldn't keep the growing horror off of his face.

[bent_the_world]

"....okay...."

Korra raised an eyebrow but didn't push it. Didn't he....know?

When the trees broke, the airship sat just a handful of yards from the forest line. There was little activity around it, just a few crewmen milling about waiting for the Avatar's return. Which was probably sooner than expected.

"There's our ride."

[goldeneyeball]

JW's horror was soon exchanged for probably the first honest wonder he'd felt in ages. That was an airship. It was just going to...go up into the air and take them to a place. He'd never been on an airplane or a blimp or even a hot air balloon.

"It's...nice."

If he weren't so exhausted from being angry earlier, he would have looked excited.

[bent_the_world]

"It's one of the best!"

Asami had designed it, after all. "State of the art everything, fuel efficient....all kinds of other impressive technical things I don't remember right now...." The tech wasn't her strong point.

They'd been noticed by the crew as they approached. It was hard to miss a giant polar bear dog and a snake man coming up on the airship. Korra made sure to step off to the side, clearly visible, and lift a hand in greeting.

[goldeneyeball]

JW was fine over level ground, but getting up onto the ship itself was An Adventure. At least on an airship there were things to hang onto so that he didn't face-plant in front of strangers. He made sure to spit a hiss at the first person to give him a weird look.

[bent_the_world]

Korra waited patiently while Mr. Snake made his way up the ramp. She took the time to have a chat with the captain and deck crew, explaining their new passenger and that they were heading back to Republic.

This was definitely the weirdest stray she'd ever brought onto an airship.

At least it was one hell of a ship. Luxurious and state of the art, with plenty of open room that a giant snake man could move around comfortably in. Korra led him to the main communal area, an open and high ceiling-ed room with couches and chairs and low decorative tables.

"The trip will take a couple of days. How can we make you comfortable?"

[goldeneyeball]

Every pair of eyes that met his would receive a hiss. Fancy sky cruiser or not, he was not about to become a slithering freak show for these TWO-LEGGERS. Once they made their way into the lounge, he wrapped his entire body around the first chair he encountered.

The chair now belonged to him. Property of one James Walter.

"Honestly? A pillow, some pain pills, and some peace and quiet. I'm not a hard man to please, it's been a long day."

[bent_the_world]

"I think we can manage that. Well, the first two, anyway. It is an airship."

'Quiet' wasn't exactly the normal. But pillows and something for pain? Definitely doable. Korra flagged down a crewman, not about to just leave her snakey guest alone. It was comfy in the lounge. She'd hang out there.

Just to be safe.

She flopped down into a plush chair and propped her feet up on a coffee table after someone had been dispatched for the pillows and medicine.

[goldeneyeball]

JW tried to relax as they waited but found that he couldn't. There was so much going on aboard the ship. He could feel people walking around through the parts of his body that touched the floor. The chair wasn't big enough to pile all of himself onto.

He found himself jealous of how at ease Korra looked. So if he couldn't be at peace, neither could she.

"So you think the spirit world will really get this thing off my arm, huh?"

[bent_the_world]

"If anybody can, we'll find them in the Spirit World."

Korra didn't mind talking as they were lazing around the lounge. And he probably wanted to know about the place she was taking him. Who wouldn't?

"Spirits gave bending to humans. They're immortal and really powerful and know things humans could never on their own. And I've got some friends over there."

[goldeneyeball]

"Bending...that what you were doing out in the woods?"

He wasn't sure if that made him feel better or worse about this world and the strange powers within it. And a small, selfish, stupid part of himself wondered if these spirits would give whatever bending was to him.

Probably not.

[bent_the_world]

Korra nodded.

"Yeah. Controlling the elements. Not everybody can do it, but lots of people are born with it. There's Earthbenders, Water, Fire, and Air." And then there was her.

"There's whole cultures built around different schools of bending. And some people are stronger than others. Like with anything else."

And again, then there was her.

[goldeneyeball]

"So you're an earth bender then...huh." He thought of all the ways that would be useful. And then something occurred to him and he straightened up like a periscope. "Where'd that monster go?"

WHERE WAS NAGA HE FORGOT ABOUT HER FUCK. She could be anywhere.

[bent_the_world]

"....No. I'm the Avatar."

Korra opened her palm and called up a blossom of fire. Which she extinguished with a flick of airbending.

"I can bend all of them. And my polar bear dog is probably in our room napping." A gleam came into her eyes as she glanced over at him. "I mean, I could go get her, I bet she misses you...."

[goldeneyeball]

She kept saying that word.

And then JW learned what that word meant. When the flame bloomed into existance, his periscope turned into a paranoid arch as his upper body wrapped around the back of the chair so that he could glare at her from over the top of it.

"You could WARN A GUY!"

The end of his tail started thumping the floor again, trying very hard to sound like a rattle.

[bent_the_world]

"I could," Korra agreed, settling back into her chair and sprawling comfortably. It was more fun not to. She made a show of casually inspecting her nails, not looking at the angry snake trying to make himself look big with the chair.

"I can breathe fire, too. And you should see what I can do with lightning."

[goldeneyeball]

The snake man's coils deflated and he stuck his long tongue out, not even bothering to pull it back in.

"I can't wait."

[bent_the_world]

"Just be glad I'm helping you."

Though she was beginning to question why she'd agreed to in the first place. This guy really got on her nerves. He was just...well...a snake. There was something slippery and slithery about him, and she didn't mean his cursed body. She didn't trust him.

The sooner she was rid of him, the better.

"I could have so easily fed you to my bear dog. I still can."

The last was muttered under her breath.

[goldeneyeball]

The tongue disappeared so that he could bristle at her.

"I never said I wasn't." For all he knew, she was taking him back to some government lab to have him dissected on live television. He had to watch his back. Her threat did not go unheard and JW's mouth became a grim wobbly line. "Jeez, kid."

[bent_the_world]

"I'm not a kid! I'm over twenty! And the most powerful person in the world! And my name is Korra!" Ugh, this guy! He managed to rub her nerves all the wrong ways.

And then she paused, eyeing him curiously.

"What is your name, anyway? You never said it. I don't even know what to call you." 'That Snake Jerk' wouldn't really do.

[goldeneyeball]

Oho! SHe didn't like that. And while she may be a walking god, her scrunchy mad face gives him a little satisfaction. And it gave him a little info. They had her do their dirty work, huh? How powerful could she be?

"That depends. James to some, Jim to friends. Mr. Walter to you."

[bent_the_world]

"James Walter?" Korra eyebrows shot up higher. That was the weirdest name she'd ever heard. It didn't even sound like a name. Where was he from? What was he doing here? Why did she have to deal with him?

All she had were questions. But only one actually made it from her brain to her mouth.

"What kind of name is that?"
