The Golden Tether
The Zykla

Reflections

  • Strengths
    Honorable

    Fumiko always does her best to keep her word. She does not give it often but a promise from her means a lot. In the least to her it does. She will go through great lengths to uphold a spoken oath, especially to a friend.


    Survivor

    Few taken from the wild can truly return once tamed. Fumiko is the exception. She can survive anywhere, with very little and thrive. Her desire to live another day is strong.
    Skilled Combatant

    The moment she grasped a spear crafted by her own hand she shed blood and feasted. The viciousness that her kind are known for flows through her veins. After a few years of being trained by some of the best and surviving a war against the undead the Zykla is an extremely competent and capable fighter.


    Faith

    Fumiko’s reverence for Luna never faded during her long tenure as a slave. What limited memories she had of her people were perhaps the only thing that kept her alive. What traditions she recalls are adhered to. Old hatreds and prejudices wane as memories of them become foggy. Desperately she attempts to rekindle her faith, seeking someone to guide her.
    Tar Glands

    Four tar glads in total reside in the Zykla's mouth, typically found in the back-top corners of their roof and down by the base of their tongue. These glands can be removed with surgery if so desired. The tar itself is a viscous black liquid produced primarily from the resin of wood and roots in the Zykla's diet. The tar-like spit is used as a defense mechanism. When used, the tar will cling to the surface of the desired target. Not only is it an extremely thick and sticky substance, it is also highly flammable.

    Weaknesses
    Introverted

    She prefers the solitude of the jungle. After all this is where she can avoid the troubles that plague both her and her kind. Being alone makes life easier. She is far from meek and timid but too much social interaction leaves her feeling drained.
    Brash

    Fumiko has a temper. She isn’t a loud woman, but it doesn’t take a lot to piss her off even if she doesn’t show it. Nothing angers her more then seeing her kind being mistreated. She views her people with pride. Even if they are not of her own tribe. Even worse she can be goaded into acting without forethought.

    Bloodforce

    Fumiko can now access her bloodforce abilities after a terrifying encounter with a blood force entity. Her sister Firn, Sura and herself were able fend the creature off.
    Nyctalopia

    Zykla also have poor night vision. This condition is typically known as Nyctalopia. This means they are lacking the reflective lenses in their eyes that Jackals and snow leopards possess. Nyctalopia is a condition making it difficult or impossible to see in relatively low light. It is a symptom of several eye diseases. Nyctalopia may exist from birth or be caused by injury or malnutrition. The 'night blindness' typically only comes into effect when little to no light is provided; such as going outdoors at night, or when a large room is only provided a single source of low light.

    Meteoric Iron

    Meteoric Iron is a relatively rare mineral and as such its contact with Zykla culture has been minor, yet it's afflictions have carved deep scars into their collective minds as to weave into their myths and legends.

    Upon contact, this astral metal restrains a victim Zykla's ability to utilize their stored Bloodforce and render them vulnerable. While the physical effects are powerful, it is the feeling that overtakes a Zykla that has truly earned its dreaded history and an aptly fitting name. "Bound Soul."
