Kuwaka has few innate abilities that are terribly impressive. However, through alteration, blessings, and curses, he has become more than the megafauna predator he was born as.
✺ Trained in use of swords. By no means is he a master, but he is working and favors a very fast style that combines his ability in strength. Often, he dual wields.
✺ A crack shot. Without a doubt, his skill with guns far surpasses his ability to wield a sword. He is able to use most any firearm with skill. He has no preference, though he mainly uses sniper rifles or pistols in his line of work.
✺ Possesses a remarkable gift for learning languages. Perhaps due to the alteration, the celestial blood, or even his general gift of gab, Ku can learn a new language remarkable quick. Currently he can speak English, Swahili, Spanish, Portugese, German, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, French, Italian, Latin, Old Norse, and Sindarin.
Alterations
For better or worse, Kuwaka's genetics have been altered. Though, this only appears in his human form. Through the use of stem cells and engineered viruses, his DNA has been changed to allow him to move past limitations his body would place on him, and even beyond such. His muscles are stronger, allowing him to perform feats body builders might work years for. His agility and reactions might lead one to believe time moves slower for him, moving like a gymnast through obstacles. His speed in general allows his jog to be along the lines of the average sprint and gives him muscle endurance that will allow him to run miles every day. It has also built upon his already inhuman senses, though mainly in regard to his eyesight. His mind was sharpened specifically for his line of work. He is capable of memorizing lists of license plates and could be considered to have a near photographic memory. As well, he has a great deal of control over his own heart rate and body in general. And while it has enhanced his metabolism, allowing him to heal and recover faster, he also burns both dangerous and beneficial substances rather fast.
✺ There is a device installed into his brain that allows him to temporarily turn his emotions off at will. It is attached to the pituitary gland and causes it to manufacture and release a chemical that will inhibit his emotions so long as it is active. The effects take about an hour to fully wear off, but effects are near instant when turned on. It is incredibly obvious when it turns on, given the change in demeanor. It does not make him immoral, as many of his goals and standards remain the same.
✺ Often, he carries around a hypodermic needle hich he can use to remove any limits his body has and function at the absolute extreme he is capable of. Similar to a shot of adrenaline, though formulated to push past even that. It burns off in about fifteen minutes thanks to his metabolism, where it would last the average human an hour. It is only used in dire situations, as it is incredibly hard on his body, often leaving him sore for a few weeks after a single use. There is a possibility of heart failure with excessive use.
roar
Of all the abilities Ku has, none are quite as capable of devastation as his Roar. His abilities are, for the most part, passive, such has his magical immunity. However, his roar, when at its strongest is a potentially lethal offensive weapon. His vocal cords were altered the fateful day Neem saved his life, giving him a voice that was not only thunderous as to inspired fear in his foes, but a weapon. When pushed, the lion can produce a concussive roar that creates something of a something of a sonic shockwave that can knock over foes before him and temporarily deafen foes. It is loud enough to leave ears ringing, even if one is not in the path of his roar. When too close, the sound is powerful enough to rupture soft tissues, veins, and organs, which could result in death. The magic of the forest suppresses the range, thus it is unlikely he would kill anyone with his voice, as it is not an instant process and close foes have time to get out of the way.
However, as this ability is natural and not without its side effects for the user. Kuwaka can only perform it once or twice a day. After using it, he is rendered mute for roughly an hour and does not recover his voice fully for a day or two. It puts an extreme amount of stress on his vocal cords, and if he were to use it too frequently before he recovers, he would risk becoming permanently mute. As well, it does leave his ears ringing and would damage his ears with excessive use. It takes anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour for his hearing to fully return after the full use of his. It is almost never used, however, as not only does if have side effects for him, but he can easily catch his allies in its area of effect. For the most part, he uses his enhanced vocal cords so that he can shout above the loudest of noises or intimidate.
worlds
✺ The Feline Worlds, a set of interlinked worlds he lived in, none with any impressive titles as the first. Worlds inhabited and dominated by sentient felines. He is from these lands, though of yet has been unable to return.
✺ The Endless Forest, the second realm he traveled to. Intially he found in confusing, in part due to being returned to a child state, but has found it has grown on him.
✺ Earth, a world full of humans he discovered through Gabriel. Now viewed as his home.
✺ Nirn, a world of fantasy and adventure he discovered through Elliot. Visited sparingly, it is full of danger but perhaps enjoyed most for such. Often, he embarks on great hunts here.
✺ Arda, Elliot's home and introduced to it through him. A beautiful world he occasionally visits, though is most comfortable when in the company of the elf. He has also traveled here to assist the elf in his duties.
✺ Riki, a world he was introduce to through Hlif. Not quite yet sure what to think of it, Ku visits it mainly for Hlif and his daughters.
On the brink of death, the result of a noble sacrifice to protect others, Kuwaka was given a second chance at life. The angelic being, Neem, came to him in the form of a golden lion and blessed him with his blood, which no only saved his life, but left him with other abilities as well. The color of his pelt is a reminder of that moment. Were it not for his immunity to magic, this blessing would leave him vulnerable to darker magic.
magical immunity
While magic is integral in much of the forest, Kuwaka has never been affected directly by it. He can neither be harmed nor healed through magical means. Whether beneficial or malignant, he is not affected by magic, save for traveling through opened portals. This immunity seems to morph into a resistance when he travels to certain worlds. Side effects of magic may affect him if they are no longer a part of it, such as a forest fire that was initially started by a spell. While he can be affected by positive energies such as good auras, he can not be healed or enhanced by magic in any way.
Despite the fact that this ability does indeed seem to entire take away the effects of any magic, magic does not seem to pass around him, but rather, into him. If flames were shot at him, they seem to be absorbed, rather than breaking over him. This is due to the fact that Kuwaka actually does indeed absorb magic. Essentially, he is a giant, magical battery. However, he remains unaware of this fact, were he to discover it, he would be able to channel any magical energy he has acquired of the course of his life into others who can use magic and accept it, neutral, raw, and harmless. Upon death, Kuwaka's body will release all the magic absorbed. Unless harvested, it disperses and can have strange effects on inanimate objects. If he dies in the forest, it absorbs the energy.
immortality
Unable to find eternal rest, Kuwaka is truly immortal. While his body can be killed, without assistance, he will return to life with a new body. The time it takes varies, but it often takes two to three weeks for a new body to fully form and then another week or so for his soul to fully integrate and his brain to redevelop so all his memories are again intact. During this time, his spirit often wanders between space and time, visiting dreams or observing and exploring. As he came into the forest at a size closer to a true lion, upon each death, his body has regenerated closer to his original size, though warped to fit the forest.
wandering soul
While a body always regenerates for the Lion, his spirit has a tendency to wander, most often during the times he is waiting for a body to inhabit. He can travel through space and time and time in has astral form, all thing perceived by mortals suddenly relative. He can enter dreams and the subconscious of unguarded individuals. Easy to cast out, he finds it useful for communicating with the living when he is otherwise unable to speak to them. His senses go beyond the physical, able to see and feel far more than he can comprehend when he is in his physical body. He has started working on practicing this skill when he is in his body, learning to project himself. It is quite dangerous for him, however, as he is unable to truly affect anything in the physical world and his body is entirely vulnerable without his spirit present.
enchanted form
Upon death, Kuwaka's body changes. Suddenly invulnerable and seeming indestructible, it repels rot and simply lays there as fresh as the moment he died. Only after figuring out the trick to skinning his corpse can anything be accessed within. His pelt is indeed indestructible, immune to all manner of damage, a perfect, flexible armor. His bones are equally so. His organs tissues seem to possess magical qualities tied to their functions if ingested or used. All pieces are highly magical, and thus are most often stored by the lion, morbid as it is. Transplants of his organs are most often successful due to the slight magical regenerative properties they possess. However, it does tie him to those who receive them. Tied to all his body parts.
✺ One of his hearts given to Karana, transplanted, within her, ties him to her and able to be summoned at her will. Spiritual connection as well. Unaccounted for.
✺ A claw given on a necklace to the Collector. Intended as a simple gift.
✺ A claw given on a necklace to Anja. Intended as a gift and a way in which she can contact him in emergencies.
✺ A claw given on a necklace to Gabriel. Intended as a simple gift. Thrown into the bottom of the pond. Currently lost.
Upon discovering Cillian, Kuwaka had a massive change in his his priorities and his way of life. Concern for the life of his child and the idea that resurrecting the dead was possible lead him to a very dark path. He got in contact with an ancient, powerful entity, known by many names. A lack of any self worth then lead to the lion entering into a contract with this entity. In exchange for his soul, he would receive seven miracle, of which he could use at his discretion. The intent was so that he may resurrect loved ones. The dark being, however, let these be open ended miracles from desire to see the lion use the seven sooner so that he would sooner forfeit his soul.
For each miracle he uses, he loses a part of his soul. He moves one step closer to the Hell that being resides in, enduring a corruption that stems from the loss and the contact to the infernal realms. Kuwaka is unaware what might happen to him if he were to lose his soul completely, but assumes it is likely terrible. Even with his soul intact, he is still affected by it and branded, a mark that shows in his human form when his chest is not hidden by his fur. His body in the forest has started to attempt to reject him. For some reason, his bestial form is far more vulnerable to the darkness and is harmed by it. After a period of time in the forest, blood starts weeping from his orifices and eventually pools in his lungs. It could cause him to bleed out or "drown" in his own blood.
✺ First. Gluttony. Consumed. In a moment of irrationality, made an impulse decision and now had the ability to move through space at will, though not without cost.
✺ Second. Sloth. Consumed. Used to resurrect Saoirse. Nearly died while channeling its power.
✺ Third. Lust. Locked.
✺ Fourth. Envy. Locked.
✺ Fifth. Greed. Locked.
✺ Sixth. Wrath. Locked.
✺ Seventh. Pride. Locked.
don't mind me, just looking.
