I demand Max writes a super biological explanation for Shou's stone.
Beyond, 'organ near heart makes stone, puts in bloodstream through pipeline, high risk of cardiac arrest, haha'.

Actually I came up with the flame-gland thing with some research and Wiki stuff.

Stone is a lot harder to have in your system than just petrochemicals. Shou ever have a kidney stone?

Not that I can remember Fen. I might actually make some edits.
I've always had his blood pump a lot faster than a human, which really explains his increased strength.
Basically a Gear Second Luffy 99% of the time.
Would a better immune system counteract that whole kidney stone bit?
My biochemistry knowledge is basically limited to what Wikipedia says.

Its sort of like this. Quote: The draconis fundamentum is a gland possessed only by true dragons. Attached to the heart, it is the center of elemental activity inside a dragon's body. All blood flowing from the heart passes through this organ before going to the body. The draconis fundamentum charges the lungs with power for a dragon's breath weapon and also plays a role in the dragon's highly efficient metabolism, which converts the vast majority of whatever the creature consumes into usable energy. Blood vessels, nerves, and ducts run directly from the draconis fundamentum to the dragon's flight muscles, and also the lungs and gizzard.

1. If Shou can control the stone in his system he would never have a kidney stone unless he wanted to.
2. Birds that eat rocks have a gullet or whatever that holds the rocks and uses them to crush food. Replaces teeth, basically. No real mineral deposits in the body or anything.
3. It'd take a lot of minerals within a system to create the stone Shou/Ze'ev use on their body.
4. Half Golem, right? Doesn't really sound like you should need to rely on human physiology, like Vahn.

*shrugs* Neither of his parents were golems, it was a just a coined term to give people the right idea.
Anyways, I'll figure some stuff out.

Then what's the deal with the hand? It's always stone, right?
Could probably have some luck with an altered skeletal structure that produces all kinds of mineral. Getting it to the skin and in large quantities is the hard part.

He made a new one entirely out of rock and just bonded it to the stump.
It only moves because he wills it too; used to fall apart while he slept.
Edit: Happy Thanksgiving, Kana. ^^"
