Dragon Tamer: Closed Species Info

[Closed Adopt Species] Dragon Tamer Information
1. History
Dragon tamers are a certain group within a larger species. "Hebi"- japanese for "snake"- are a species of snake demons/yokai that originate from japan (I googled it.. and apparently it's a thing but they have tails- for this species just know these snake people don't have tails). Unlike the more familiar yokai they are sometimes confused with- the "naga" which is a similar species but the key difference being that a naga has a lower body of a snake- a Hebi appears human.
In a village of Hebi, dragon tamers are considered the strongest. Dragon tamers usually have the darkest hair- a trait that has now become a way to tell how strong one is. The normal hair color is green, lighter green makes it obvious you are not a dragon tamer but a normal hebi that isn't strong enough to tame the beast- dark hair (preferably still green but black is a fine color to have) makes you an obvious dragon tamer.
Dragon tamers are -like hebi- a

Here is my oc Shinosuke Ryuushi- REPRESENTIN *SHOT*
He's one of my first oc's and he's come a long way- now his little race/ species shall be a closed adopt species.
I'll be posting a journal link with all the information once I get it all sorted out and what not. But for now here's a little summary of what to expect from the species

Dragon Tamers:
Dragon tamers are a certain group within a larger species. "Hebi"- japanese for "snake"- are a species of snake demons/yokai that originate from japan (I googled it.. and apparently it's a thing but they have tails- for this species just know these snake people don't have tails). Unlike the more familiar yokai they are sometimes confused with- the "naga" which is a similar species but the key difference being that a naga has a lower body of a snake- a Hebi appears human.

In a village of Hebi, dragon tamers are considered the strongest. Dragon tamers usually have the darkest hair- a trait that has now become a way to tell how strong one is. The normal hair color is green, lighter green makes it obvious you are not a dragon tamer but a normal hebi that isn't strong enough to tame the beast- dark hair (preferably still green but black is a fine color to have) makes you an obvious dragon tamer.

Dragon tamers are -like hebi- able to communicate with snakes. When trapping/ readying dragons for the capture, they use scrolls and seals that shoot out from their bodies in the form of black snakes. A dragon that isn't worn out is hard to capture even with thousands of black snakes wrapped around to detain it, so dragon tamers have to be strong and physically fit. Since they are also snake demons/yokai, some are able to create venom in their bodies (over the years dragon tamers have lost their fangs for a more human appearance but some are still able to do this) but most are simply immune to most poisons.
