Background:
Vasuka (Vas or V for short) is a powerful Naga from the deep subterranean world of Patala, land of nagas. In Patala there was no disease, as the realm was almost like heaven (see mythology below). But one day he discovered a genie lamp in his native land. Upon summoning the spirit within, he said that he wished to leave Patala and visit the surface world. The genie, being rather sinister, granted his wish, and opened a doorway to the surface. Though once they had both gone through the door, it sealed and locked behind them. Vas, now trapped on the mortal world, found that he now felt great hunger wherever he went. A subtle side effect/curse of the genie's powers. And because of his Patalan origins, his body gives off a natural hypnotic glow. From his sweet scent rising from his scales, to his bejeweled hood, to his alluring eyes, any mortal creature could be deeply hypnotized by him. And while he did try to control it, he found that hypnotizing mortals allowed him to eat them with much less guilt and soothed his hunger.
Thankfully, he still has his immortal, revitalizing scales from Patala. Meaning whoever he eats will come back with barely a memory of what happened. His shed skin also has some healing properties to it, making it highly sought after.
But anyway... Since being sealed away from his home land, Vas has tried to adjust to the surface world. He has to where sunglasses all the time, as his home world did not have any sunlight. This also helps him control his hypnotic powers by hiding his eyes.
He has moved in with Zig Zag the monster hunter, one of the first ponies he ever met. Zig has had trouble getting used to his hypnotic aroma that now fills her house, leaving her in a semi-hypnotic state until she can find some kind of incense or candle to counter act it.
Vas's personality can be a bit goofy at times. He is very carefree and playful, and doesn't shy away from meeting new people. Unfortunately, this usually leads to people being hypnotized and eaten. He doesn't mean to, He just has an insatiable hunger and ponies are the biggest dish around. He isn't shy either of telling ponies how good they taste.



~×~Mythology~×~

-Patala (or Naga-Loka) the region of the Nagas

Patala is described in hindu religions as the seventh and deepest layer of the earth. It is said to be more beautiful than Svarga (heaven). Patala is described as filled with splendid jewels, beautiful groves and lakes and lovely demon maidens. Sweet fragrance is in the air and is fused with sweet music. The soil here is white, black, purple, sandy, yellow, stony and also of gold.
There is no sunlight in the lower realms, but the darkness is dissipated by the shining of the jewels that the residents of Patala wear. There is no old age, no sweat, no disease in Patala.
