| Notes |
He inherited the Lightning touch that his Father has, but not quite to the same level. He has whips of lightning that grow and flow off his back, and lightning-arrows that form like feathers at their base. The lightning is dangerous, but he can consciously control how much of a charge they hold - so electrocuting others by mistake is not likely to happen. The air around him is always slightly charged with energy, but only enough to cause some static build-up in others. When he shifts into different forms the lightning-whips stay with him, as do the hardened-lightning bits on his body, but he can control how they appear and change their appearance slightly.
A Kapialu is a type of Apialu. Like all of his kind he has been wrongly accused of being a type of shape-shifting demon. Apialu aren't demon-kin, and do not seek to spread suffering or havoc wherever they go. Each Apialu tends to have an unique set of traits, as they hold their own individuality quite highly.
Apialu are shape-shifters. They can look like anything they want to, provided it falls within the mammalian spectrum. Their forms are fluid, and not limited by their genetics. They used to hide in plain sight, which led to a period in the Wish Dimension where their species was believed to have become extinct. They hadn't. They'd just become so good at blending in that nobody was the wiser.
Their shape-shifting capabilities are limited in that no matter what they shift into, they will always retain their true colours. They can shift the colours around into different patterns, but can never change the colours or gain different ones. The traits they pass onto their offspring are those from their true form.
Apialu are not known to take on permanent mates, and do not raise their own young. If the offspring is a pure Apialu it is given to a Den and raised by a Den-mother (usually a Sapialu). If the offspring is a non-Apialu, it's up to the other parent to raise it, or it's left on it's own. Most Apialu lack parental instinct, and view young as a risk to their own survival.
They can take on permanent mates, but it's incredibly rare. They can breed with other species, while in that other species form, but aren't likely to stick with them. Any offspring born to an Apialu will take on the form the Apialu was in when the Mother became pregnant. |
