Kenshi 剣士

General
Kenshi's natural soul is a Mangrove Pit Viper inspired Reptilia soul.



This means his natural soul is venomous and has heat-sensing 'pit' organs (where they get their name)

Kenshi will regularly seek out warmth and even experience some sluggishness if he's in the cold for too long. Over time, he'll also develop a strictly carnivorous diet, and will be opting more and more to eat one massive meal that will last him for a week or so.

Half-Shift
- Dark black, curved claws where his fingernails should be
- Sharp, needle-like teeth
- Long, thin forked tongue that he can 'smell' with
- Red scales, especially along the backs of his hands and arms and the sides of his neck
- Pointed ears
- Heat-sensing vision
- Extra persuasive/charming

Full-Shift
All of the traits in the half-shift plus:
- A naga-like body shape (waist up is humanoid, waist down is the body of a snake)
- Impulsiveness, especially concerning basic needs like food, warmth, napping, or mating
- Venomous (hemotoxin - causes pain, shock, disorientation, and bleeding/lack of circulation or clotting)
- Grotesque Presence. Though not to the degree of Spectral-types, Reptilians also have a reputation for inciting fear and loathing in others. When utilized, looking onto a Reptilian's face can render others frozen in fear, or even turn the unfortunate to stone. This stony effect is not permanent, and will fade within minutes to hours, and can be resisted somewhat by anyone with a strong will (or if the Reptilian in question is just not that imposing). Golem-types are completely immune to it, and Spectral-types have a better than normal chance to resist any effect.
- Quick to be defensive/puff up/hiss
