Natural Abilities
As a Nemateelu
Elemental
Firestarter
Able to light and hold a flame. Flames do not harm him as they do most. A normal intensity flame will do him no damage. He is also able to warm things through this same ability.
Ice
Currently unknown. He has no control over this ability yet and it only comes out when truly afraid and fire is doing nothing to help him.
Death
Seer
As an Angel of Death, a higher than normal ability to the mind has been bred into him. Ness has visions, mostly during sleep of things yet to come or things that have already happened. For the most part, he ignores them unless it is something he can directly affect. He feels a lot of guilt over this ability. He dreamed a vision of his Master's death before it happened. He was unable to warn his Master.
Spirits
Because he is a gold eye, Ness still has the ability to see the dead as well as speak to them. If he is holding a conversation with someone that is not immediately seen that does not mean that there is no one there...
Natural
Feral
Ness has the ability to turn into a feral wolf. As a wolf, he is approximately forty inches at the shoulder. The size of a well-sized pony... With that in mind, he can be ridden by someone light in that form. He is also able to speak in this form.
Healing
Like all Nemateelu, Ness is a very fast healer and produces an abnormal amount of blood. Drinking his blood will heal a person faster than they normally would as well as extend the life of a mortal. Small abrasions for Ness will be gone within' minutes. Deeper wounds that may take weeks for a mortal will be gone in a few days. Mortals wounds may take a couple weeks. It is very difficult to kill him. Beheading or removing his heart is the only good way as burning only pisses him off.
Overall Abilities
-Smell-
The sense of smell is more advanced than even a standard feral. Not only for distance but as to what is detectable. A Nemateelu can pick out a single scent among others in an area.
-Physical Strength-
Namateelus are generally much lighter than they appear. They are built as light as possible for optimal flight. However, they are much stronger than they look. They can easily lift their own weight.
-Hearing-
The hearing is very sharp over great distances and at keys mostly unnoticed by mortals. They are able to hear on a frequency that allows them to communicate with the dead.
-Sight-
Vision is by standard rather poor. Partly color blind and somewhat light blind, most Nemateelu rely on other senses and absolutely do not like bright daylight. They are a purely nocturnal creature.
Other Abilities of a Nemateelu
-Face Stealing-
Nemateelu are able to 'steal' the face of another. Their victim is taken into what is called death's embrace, with the Nemateelu on top of their victim pinning them to the ground. The Nemateelu then projects a calm using a very gentle note of telepathy. They soothe and calm until their heart rate is able to match that of their victims. Only then can they begin the process.
The process is incredibly painful for the Nemateelu but no more painful to the victim than suffocating.
The Nemateelu will be in a state of dulled senses and sleep making them very vulnerable for several days after the event. Thus they do not rely on this very often.
Aside from face stealing all Nemateelu are able to shift to a feral form. They are born with this ability and never lose it even when 'faces' have been gained.
-Immortality-
Nemateelu generally comes into full grips with their immortality after the age of one hundred. Hybrids are the only uncertain note to this as some are born immortal while others never achieve it.
Pups are born very mortal by comparison to the adults. They can easily die and many do not make it to adulthood. Pups age normally to the age of about thirteen. At that point, the aging process slows. A Nemateelu is not considered to be an adult until the age of one hundred. At that age, a Nemateelu will have the appearance of someone around the age of 18. They will still age from there but not much. Elder Nemateelu who have lived hundreds of years may appear to be roughly 30. They never really lose their youthful look.
