Powers, Abilities and Skills
- Physical Powers
Augmented Fitness: In addition to almost-obsessive training, Esouna has been exposed to energies that have drastically empowered her body's abilities, making her a higher class of being than ordinary canya. Despite her small size, Esouna can lift up to 600 lb over her head. She can fly at 70 mph for many hours, her reflexes are superhuman, and her body can endure deep wounds.
Aggression: Esouna is ferocious and can get really, really angry in fights. This negates her ability to use Altusanima, becuase she can't concentrate, but when she's seriously pissed off, her physical strength and endurance grow to even more superhuman levels—at peak frustration, she could probably lift 900 pounds.
Strong Will: Esouna is both mentally fierce and rebellious. Esouna can usually shake off effects that can be countered by enough willpower.
- Supernatural Powers
Altusanima: The initial magical art of Altusanima is described here. In addition, Esouna is capable of modifying the Barrier of Force and Radiant Barrier through exerting her willpower, corrupting the spherical shapes of the barriers into four 12' long tendrils that she can control. These thick tendrils retain the properties of the barriers and still do not do harm to a target; she can't really squeeze the life out of someone, but they are useful for manipulation and grapples. If Altusanima is passed down to another willing subject, this perversion of the art will likely disappear with it. Esouna does not have to meditate to perform her corruption, but it still requires a lot of concentration; she cannot hold a conversation while controlling tendrils.
- Innate Racial Abilities
Flight: Esouna flies using thin, grey-red, hummingbird-like wings that extend from near her shoulder blades. She can fly with the expected maneuverability, up to 70 mph in speed. The only reason she can't go faster is because the tips of her wings brush the edge of the sound barrier in the middle of their arc at that speed; any faster would distort her wings or cause repeated, wing-shredding sonic booms.
Sensory Wings: In addition to her flight wings, Esouna has two sheet-like, rectangular sensory wings of the same color as her flight wings. They have a bat-like skeletal structure in them, and are used for perception, a marvel of life. They pick up light and sound with tiny structures all over their surfaces, and can also detect magic through their sight.
Tough Skin: Canya have durable skin, like very soft leather. It's not hard to pierce it, exactly, but Esouna doesn't get papercuts and other little things like that. In D&D terms, it's a single point of damage reduction or natural armor.
Extreme Metabolism: The energy used to fly with half-cone hummingbird wings isn't magically supplied. Esouna requires at least 5,500 calories per day to live, even with minimal flight, but she prefers 9,000 a day for good health and free flying. As a result of this, Esouna metabolizes poisons very quickly. They hit her hard, but the effects are overwith alarmingly soon.
Minor Weakness: Healing: Despite an extreme metabolism, The Guardian messed something up when it comes to healing. Canya need additional time to heal from wounds, compared to a human. Healing magic also doesn’t work as well.
Racial Emergency: Bright: If Esouna is exposed to enough supernatural energy of any kind (the energy of about an entire belt of grenades will do the trick), it will spark the Bright racial transformation, doubling her base reflexes and mental traits like logic and willpower, granting 33% resistance to the supernatural, and a rough manipulation of energies she received damage from (Naturally, if there is some sort of magical restriction that makes her unable to use the restricted energy, she can’t.). This lasts for about 20 seconds/3 posts after the transformation post. The transformation causes her skin to glow dimly with a bioluminescent chemical reaction, but no other changes are plainly visible. This ability is purely biological, but acquired energy manipulation methods need their respective sources. Anti-magic will revert this transformation. After the transformation, her body crashes for a few minutes, but not as intensely as the crash of the Dark transformation--she'll still be able to fight, although weakly. The transformation will not activate again for weeks as the body flushes out all remaining traces of the foreign energies.
This ability was instilled into the Canya by the Guardian so that they could fight fire with fire.
Racial Emergency: Dark: If Esouna pushes her physical limits to the breaking point, she will undergo the Dark racial transformation, doubling base physical traits and reflexes, increased skin toughness, and multiplying her base energy and stamina by ten. This lasts the same amount of time as the Bright racial emergency. The transformation turns her skin black--her metabolism becomes so fast that her epidermis actually burns--but there are no other visible changes. After the transformation, her body 'crashes' intensely due to the deficit of energy after the colossal spike in usage that the transformation requires. This crash is possibly a hundred times worse than caffeine crash and usually lasts hours, and the emergency will not activate again for days.
This is basically a more obvious expression of the fight or flight instinct, and gives a canya emergency energy when they desperately need it to survive. When it's done, Esouna is done, and will likely only be able to crawl. Maybe she'll pass out if she overused the extreme energy she acquired. It's not unheard of for extreme canya athletes to go Dark and then die of exhaustion when they reverted.
