Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Re-posting bc I started this forever ago. >> ))

Pae'il Name: Nanna
Parent 1's Name and Powers: Hjortur
1) Traveler's Ditty: When playing folk music, he can summon trickster demons with the power to entrance others into making merry.
2) Sharknip: Sharks near him will find themselves with an overwhelming desire to feast upon him.
Parent 2's Name and Power: Kelebek
1) Squid's Camouflage: She can use bioluminescence to match her skin to the water to hide.
Combined Powers Element: Water
Power Category: Aquakin
Chosen Power Name: Cuttlefeesh
Power Description: Nanna has bonded with the cuttlefish, granting her its vision and venom.

She can close her eyes to change her pupils between her regular ones to the smoothly curving W-shape of a cuttlefish. When like this, she can perceive the polarization of light, which enhances her perception of contrast. She can more accurately discern depth/distance and lacks a visual blind spot.

Her venom is present in her blood and, via this, her muscular tissues and internal organs. It is not in any other bodily fluids (e.g. saliva). It is a potentially-lethal neurotoxin that can lead to nausea, respiratory or heart failure, paralysis, blindness, or death if it enters the bloodstream of a creature without natural resistance to such toxins. Naturally, she has such resistance. OOC: If the effected creature is another player's pae, obviously rp involving injuries, wounds, or other sources of potential exposure would be discussed beforehand. Her blood is green-blue in color due to its use of hemocyanin to transport oxygen rather than hemoglobin.
Weakness:
She is unable to see colors when using cuttlefish vision - everything is in a grayscale.

Due to her blood's lower affinity for oxygen transport than regular blood, she has a substantially higher resting heart rate than a typical naiad and grows tired and "out of breath" more quickly. Injuries will take a longer time to heal and have a greater immediate and lasting effect on her. Also, being literally toxic will make it substantially more difficult to be physically close with others.

Pae'il Name: Sindri
Link To Where Scroll Was Earned: VDAY2022
Scroll Power: Crescendo - Sindri can cause himself and others to become the focus of attention while creating music.
Weakness: His power is only activated while he plays music, and it ALWAYS activates while he plays music. It can be any kind, including nervous tics like humming or whistling - however, he cannot piggyback the effect by changing how he's creating music (e.g. switching between playing a flute to singing a song). He currently has no control over who near him becomes focused on, and he currently can only have this happen to 1 pae at a time.

This version is the dominant of his competing abilities - if he is not consciously or unconsciously thinking about the disappearing aspect, the music will have this affect.

The change is gradual, not instantaneous, and reverts back in the same manner and at the same rate of change.

Since he has to be creating music for the power to activate, it's limited by his own physical endurance.

In the future, I'd love for him to be able to consciously prevent it from activating or to allow it to extend to more than one pae. Perhaps something to allow the sound of his music and/or enhanse the sound of the affected pae while it's activated would be nice to develop as well.

Pae'il Name: Nereus
Power Category: Hydromancer
Chosen Power Name: Water Wings
Power Description: Nereus can create wings on her back of water, drawn from the water in the air or around her. These wings function as both a defense in blocking attacks and allows for limited flight.
Weakness: If made from only the air with no additional water source, her wings will be small and weak. They won't be able to carry her weight in flight and could only glide, and only withstand minor physical attacks before breaking.

Pae'il Name: Attor
Power Category: Shaman
Chosen Power Name: Radioactive
Power Description: Attor can put a minor hex on a paeil, causing them to temporarily glow a sickly green and feel as if their skin is on fire. Because of this, his blood also grows green and is hot to the touch, making his neutral body temperature warmer than most pae. To activate this power he must spill a drop of his own blood and have it soak into the ground where the target has previously stepped.
Weakness: Healers can cleanse the curse. Colder environments will lessen the burning sensation, causing the pae to simply glow instead. He is now slowed in colder temperatures, much like a snake or hibernating reptile.

These Naiad are bonded to aquatic animals, taking on the abilities, including shapeshifting into their chosen animal.

Nolava

These Naiad have a closer connection to the spirits and "other worldly" aspects of Earth. Powers in this category are similar to the previously universal Soulbinder powers, and include sacrificial powers, summoning spirits, curses, and hexes.
