A'ight then..
Character Name: Rubert T.J. Cabeza (T.J. standing for Timothy Jagneaux)
Gender:MALE
Color:
This handy dandy Color
Type: Main ('Tourist')
Species/Breed: Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
Age: 22 Years old (6.4 human Years.)
Neighbourhood: Blue Peak Shore
Appearance: A rather small size fellow for his species, being 4.1ft long. He is decorated with the iconic diamond shaped scales in a mix of Black, brown and a dark forest coloured green( view here, Top Left hand corner:
http://srelherp.uga.edu/snakes/croada.htm) and his eye colour is an icy blue. He actually has a small collar his 'father' made for him, fitted with a small Goldish coloured tag of a rattlesnake in the "Don't Tread on Me" position.
Personality: Despite his species' Stereotype of being a rather aggressive, rude, and rather "unfriendly" serpent, he is an extremely friendly and kind individual. That is if you aren't a mouse, rat, or rabbit. To most other animals and humans he is rather outgoing and friendly unless they pose a genuine threat to him, his 'brother' or his owner.
History: He wasn't exactly a 'pet' to begin with. He was born in the wild, though was caught by a man in Southern Louisiana and sold to the Cabeza family in Florida while he was still a tiny, tiny baby snake. He grew up with the Cabeza family until it became apparent he was an actual rattlesnake, instead of a Gopher Snake which his captor claimed him to be. He was removed from the main Cabeza family home, and the oldest of the Cabeza children, Joseph who had left to live in Northern Florida, took him in. He has lived with Joseph ever since, and has accepted his life as a 'pet', acting as the more calm of the two pets, in contrast to his Brother Jose. It was only two days ago when Joseph had announced they were all going on a vacation to a small island in the Caribbean. Though Rubert couldn't most likely get in by normal means, his brother Jose hatched a plan to smuggle him in with them to avoid leaving Rubert by himself. He was to pretend to be a Gopher Snake to try and get past the Security, and so with the plan in play, they packed their things and headed off to the island..
Other Facts:-He has only ever accidentally bitten a person once. The woman stepped on him while he was asleep in Joseph's barn which terrified Rubert and caused him to lash out. He has been trying to hide the incident since, and after months of apologies, he is finally on good terms with the lady he bit.
-He openly calls himself a Gopher Snake, as to avoid people trying to practically kill him via being beaten over the head with a bludgeoning item..He actually does a pretty good job at passing himself off as one, usually hiding his rattle under his belly when he's coiled up.
-His middle names, Timothy Jagneaux, is the name of the man that caught him when he was a baby snake.
-Understands French and spanish but only speaks it when he is agitated
S.P.E.C.I.A.L:

"Just 'cus I have venom don't mean I'm weak." Rattlesnakes are pretty strong for Venomous snakes.

"..I know you're over there don't be scared, I swear I'm friendly! Albeit more to his instincts and evolutionary path than to his eyes.
E:3
"Ow..my ribs.." Very realistic, as most snakes that don't constrict their prey have a need for being able to withstand a struggle.
I:8
".....You do know 192 divided by five is 39.2, right?" As a snake, he has to be cunning to wait until
C:6:
"Howdy there, What's your name?" Is extremely outgoing and friendly, however him being a rattlesnake usually drives most people and animals away..
A:5
"Hey wait up! Not extremely fast, but since he is a species of pitviper, he doesn't need to be fast when it comes to chasing something..When biting something however he is extremely fast as all Rattlesnakes are.

"Oh hey look a black cat with a horseshoe! *Thwack* OW! ENVAHIS PAR LA POURRIE RAT, WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! Well, 'least it can't get any worse." Average luck.
Don't mind me.
Character Name: Juan "Jose" Reyes Cabeza
Gender:MALE
Color:
This ocean looking color..
Type: Main (tourist)
Species/Breed: Chihuahua
Age: 19 years old (5.5 human years)
Neighbourhood: Blue Peak Shore
Appearance: Your average 4 inch tall chihuahua. His fur is completely tan coloured with the exception of his paws, which are white. He has a small bite taken out of his left ear, and wears a black and white Fedora hat(Think "Smooth Criminal" fedora hat..) and his collar is black, with a golden tag of an Eagle on it.
Personality: He is quite the hair-triggered fellow, as he can for one minute be happily talking to you, to yelling at someone else for a complete accident, then go back to happily chatting when he calms down. This is part way because of him being spoiled by his 'grandparents' and growing up in Southern Florida to a Cuban immigrant family who faced a lot of discrimination. One surefire way to set him off is to mention his left ear, which can range between getting a nearly broken jaw, to just an annoyed slap depending on if the person meant to anger him or not. For people who can make it pass his anger, he treats them just like family, showing a lot of tolerance that wouldn't be shown at other times.
Other notes: -He is extremely protective of a small teddy bear he has, which he keeps hidden most the time which he calls "Baya"
- He loves to pull jokes on other people, ranging from the classic whoopee cushion, to tossing a Cherry bomb at them.
-He speaks English most of the time, but make him angry, and for hours and even days he will speak spanish, usually so he can insult the person without getting caught.
-His nickname is Jose, mostly because he finds "Juan" easy to interpret as a woman's name (Example: Juanita).
History: Born in a small town on the coast of Southern Florida, He grew up with the Cabeza family ever since he was just a small pup. While he was a pup he had the unfortunate pleasure of being subject to being bullied by a handful of larger dogs that lived near the Cabeza residence, and for months he would leave the house, only to get beaten up by the older and stronger dogs and come crawling back home. One day, He was walking to a store when the dogs came. When the leader of the gang of ruffians prepared to punch him, Jose kicked him in the shins, before being brought down by the rest of the gang in a small brawl in which one of the dogs bit off a part of his left ear. When he returned home yet again, his dad Joseph called the local Police, demanding action to be taken. In a few days, life returned to normal for the little chihuahua, but soon after an argument broke out between Joseph and his parents, He found himself moving to Northern Florida on a farm Joseph had bought. After a few years of peace and quiet, a call came from Joseph's parents saying they needed to get rid of an animal, and that no one else would take it in. Jose never knew what was to come until two days later when they arrived back in their hometown. When they entered their old home, Joseph told him to stay outside and wait while he went in to talk to his parents. After an hour of waiting, Joseph came back out with a small box, set it in the car, and told Jose to get in. When they finally got back to the farm, Jose was excited to meet his new 'brother' but once he got to see it he was dumbfounded. In Front of him was a small snake, a creature that Joseph had dealt with many times before with a quick whack to the head from a Rake..Over the following days, Rubert, as the snake had been named, became more and more curious about Jose, though would usually back off if answered by a small growl. Over the following week, Jose began to accept Rubert more and more, until finally fully accepting his new brother. The two grew close, and through the years gotten into a lot of mischief. It had only been a couple days ago when Joseph had announced that they were going on vacation to an island located somewhere in the Caribbean. Knowing that most the time snakes weren't allowed in most places by federal law, Jose began to think up a quick plan..Why not have his brother mimic a Gopher snake and hide out? With his idea in tow, he talked for hours with Joseph to convince him to try his idea, and in the end won out, and so they were off to this island,

"You wanna go gringo?! You messed with the wrong dog!" Don't EVER underestimate this little fella, he is a pintsized POWERHOUSE, being able to floor a Boxer with a few well placed hits. He got this way because of simply growing up in a rough neighborhood, and learned if he wanted to protect himself from the ruder dogs on the block, he would need to be strong..
P:5
"What's that?"
E:9
"That's all you got I've seen ANTS stronger than you!" Same reason he's strong as a agitated bulldog, He got into a lot of fights as a pup, and practically worked himself up from there practicing.
