Kyda-Lou stands 5'7", both forms, and is proud wearing easy-strip fashion to effectively jump, swim and rescue his comrades from bodies of water just like the traditional Merfolk. In Laharan Form, his body invokes scales that are impervious to magma, his internal organs do the same. He has a scar on the left side of his face due to an unsuccessful morph, which burned him.[/indent] [h3]Equipment: [/h3][indent][hider=Fansaber][img]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR5nXees5B64GP19JuiswC6WlZd0NNCV087rQ&usqp=CAU[/img][/hider] Fansabers are made of Songsteel alloys and common metallic alloys, the house of Meri fights with Jar'Kai, one would expect swords but we got Fan-users. Fansabers are arched and front-faced, they are designed to effectively deflect blaster/laserbolts and lightsabers alike in tandem with its Songsteel make, its tips protrudes lightsaber blades, which can also be used as projectiles, when triggered. The House of Meri in naval battles, use their Fansabers underwater like fins to propel their swimming but impractical in magma. [/indent] [h3]Bio: [/h3][indent]A tradition in the House of Meri and oath to the New Jedi Order and Skywalker Doctrine, firstborns are offered to the Order as a sign of cooperation and atonement for their warcrimes during the dark haydays of the Galactic Empire. The House of Meri once served the former Emperor Sheev Palpatine as Imperial Financial Knights, stationed in volcanic territories to safeguard riches and all sorts of critical financial accounts, this means information like holocrons for safekeeping, kept deep within banking vaults and not just monetary matters. In oath of these atonements,the House of Meri also swore to the New Republic to repay their plunder, secondborns were raised normal and employed as office workers, such a fate humbling yet humiliating as the rest thrive by these sacrifices. Like any other firstborn in the House of Meri, Kyda-Lou is taught the culture and historical significance of his family and deployed to the Jedi Order at a young age. Kyda-Lou being a fanatic of his nation's exquisite and traditional dances, earnestly studied dancing as an unorthodox locomotive real-time meditation method of understanding the Force, he visualized harmonious dance movements as non-aggression yet passive-aggressive. Like the rest of his family, he too wield Fansabers in honor of their Financial Security past time as Bank Knights, Kyda-Lou seeks purpose beyond his family's fated livelihood and his curiosity towards the Force colors him so. Kyda-Lou can be summed up as a curious individual who seeks a purpose on a daily basis, an adventurer, who has big dreams and vocally speaks his mind and go beyond limitations, even if pragmatic, he sees himself a formless dancer who has yet to make a mark on the world. [/indent] [h3]Powers and Abilities: [/h3][indent][sub][b]Force[/b][/sub] Force Sense: A basic, universal power to understand their surroundings in great depth. Not-so, not so much depth, Padawan level. Force Push/Pull/Jump: A basic, universal power to attract, repulse and traverse. He rarely relies on his force-powers and prefers his Merfolk physiology. Shatterpoint: As a Laharan, it's a different story but as a budding Jedi, Kyda-Lou has little control of when and what he sees, it comes randomly. A young Padawan he is, so much more to learn he has... [sub][b]Racial[/b][/sub] Laharans are evolved Melodie who can indefinitely morph in-and-out of their Mermaid and Human forms. Unlike the conventional Melodie, their physiology allows them to swim and breathe in magma, they are Force-Sensitive Beings whose golden eyes are Shatterpoint innate, guiding them to navigate in the magma depths. They're often hunted down for their eyes, gouged and sold to the black market and if lucky, they're stationed in the Volcanic Banks to safeguard riches. [sub][b]Lightsaber[/b][/sub] A Fansaber of all things. Kyda-Lou is a Jar'Kai practitioner whose blended form is a graceful dance of Shien and Djem So. Still got a lot of work to do as a Padawan.
