Cyr'xa

Like many of his kind, Cyr'xa believes in Bloodforce. This is a life source found in all living things. This source can be harnessed and used.

Cyr'xa has always been in tap with Bloodforce abilities, enhanced by frequent rituals to draw it from the blood of the ones sacrificed to his Deity.

Whilst not one to sacrifice a person just for the sake of it, he does not feel guilty should events lead to it happening. He believes it a great honor to both the Goddess, and the individual. In saying that, a great deal of his sacrifices on the isle are either animal, or those he ensnares from the wild races that wander too close to the Tether or his ritual site. Your character is not at risk meeting a grizzly end from him (unless of course, you want it to go there).

Glitterdust. Passive. A side effect of using Bloodforce, trace elements of the wisp can remain caught in his fur even after all available Bloodforce has been spent. They are often seen being cast away by shaking or other swift movements, but cannot be rubbed, combed, or washed out. The Glitterdust will fade on its own in time. Bloodforce is not an elemental ability. It does not draw power from the fire, air, water, and earth of the Physical world, and can only affect them when used upon them already existing. The Bloodforce manipulates the physical realm on a macro level, but cannot change the physical makeup of any object. Soul burn. While Passive light by nature, Glitterdust is not harmless. So many flecks of light, fragments of cinder, left to drift fresh and smoldering from the defensive Zykla hide. These short-lived embers can be drawn like glitter, swept and blown by swinging limbs or emptied lungs only to swarm their target in a cloud of heated asphyxiation. While not lethal, the burning sensation can torment eyes and throat alike, disorient at best or leave hacking their lungs out at worst.

Wisps. Passive. When the Bloodforce is utilized by him, a colored aura will emanate from the user's fingertips. Directly connected to the ability being used by Cyr'xa and will follow the manipulation as it carries out. It has been observed, that the Wisp can also spill from the mouth when he exhales. Soul pulse. Nightblindness is an affliction that all Zykla are forced to endure, but a select special and skilled few are aided by their Bloodforce. Connected to his own natural sight, Soul Pulse is a subtle wave of bloodforce conjured by a simple snap of his fingers or click of the tongue. Once ushered, a singular wave of glitterdust radiates from the his origin and cascades out to his surroundings. While imperceptible to anyone other than Cyr'xa, the ring of light will quickly roll over any object within his immediate vicinity; providing an instant snapshot to the caster's eyesight. Neither corners nor clothing are able to keep their secrets hidden, revealing the immediate area to the probing Zykla. Notably utilized in the case of hunting parties, helping to supplement and aide in ventures at night; allowing them to see where most others cannot. Syphon. An obscure ability unique to some Zykla, Syphon may be used to tap into and draw away the Bloodforce of another. For good or for ill, the act will leave it's discoloring mark upon the victim's hide and fundamentally disrupt their ability to harvest fresh replacement for as little as a few days to as much as a full week. While it can be used through casting Bloodforce upon another Zykla at a distance, this method takes time and focus where so much1 as a single embrace could very well drain a Zykla instantly. Nox. Any Lume summoned can be scattered or suppressed by their Zykla. While a vile few can snuff the light of others. Unseen but gravely felt, tainted Zykla have been able to cast their Bloodforce with little more than a wave of their arm, a raking of their claws to the air. This motion steals the light of a lume and rapidly starves manifested Lumes or Sparklers, leaving scattered ash in their wake.
