Tongue;
It is a forked and lengthy organ; as with all serpents, the tongue is more than just an organ for tasting food and drink. This is also used for detecting a variety of environmental and inhabitant changes; a sense of "smell," typical to all serpents. With every exposure of tongue, there is retained all kinds of valuable information most other predators would not have access to discovering. Outside of use of smell, the taste buds of the tongue are refined and sensitive more reactive to what passes through the mouth.
Scales;
The skin of any snake is going to be scaled, however the scales on this serpent are - at best, impenetrable by mortal or typical means. The scales are graphene-like in make-up, with edges like teeth and raised up at the centers of each individual scale that give a spine-like "spike" appearance. This applies to all of the scales with exception to the underside of the snake, of which these scales are still quite difficult to penetrate but not impossible. The scales serve as total armor for the serpent; whereas the human form is capable of locally forming the tough scales in a pinch. He is, also, capable of maintaining this scale-plated armor over vital parts of the body during combat, such as the head, chest, and belly.
Shedding;
All serpents shed their skin, each individual snake is different in the frequency of shedding. It is an itchy, week long affair for the average snake, sometimes longer without proper humidity. In the case of Cayden, this is immediate and done to benefit the health and luster of scales. It is done only in his truest body, or while vacating the human body. Unfortunately, there would not be evidence of a recent shedding, as once the end of tail has left the skin, the shed skin disintegrates into a fine black sand.
Speed;
"A snake can strike within the blink of an eye," and this is absolutely accurate seeing as mortal human can take up to two hundred milliseconds to blink once. For a snake, this means it can strike four to five times before blinking has been completed. In both truest body and human, his speeds are not much different; human acting a couple milliseconds delayed to his true body. As a serpent, a single strike can occur in less than fifty milliseconds; varying between forty milliseconds and fifty at the slowest. As man, this is a steady fifty to fifty-five milliseconds of which he can move. This does apply to wielding weapons, as well as without. Mastering of speed and strength, there is not much that would hinder.
Strength;
Quite the strongman, well rivaling Hercules' strength, he is unhindered by mortal standards and weakness in this regard. He possesses stamina to maintain well over more than a few tons as a man, but the strength of the true serpent is immeasurable. This is a natural born gift that is inherited through the snake, he is well endowed with the muscle power to crush the skull of mortal man and a bite to sever finger digits up into hands.
Vision;
His vision is acute and highly sensitive to even the most subtle of movements, easily describable as supernatural. Even the delicate tremors of dust over stone can be detected, vibrations and breathing all observed. ( This does not apply to the serpent, whose sense of vibrations is felt through the body. ) As a man, his eyes possess a sort of second eyelid that acts as a thermal filter. This is a semi-reflective lens that, when not in use, remains tucked beneath protective skin layer. The thermal lens is, obviously, to detect thermal signatures of ones surroundings. Uniquely, to him specifically, past vitae-reliant origins gifted Cayden clear sight of circulatory systems, the blood flow and pulse of the living. Should he choose to focus on a subjects circulatory system, he will very easily see this in both states.
Hearing;
While not super-humanly above average, his hearing is still proficient enough that he will hear a whisper if one is not careful. It is not so intensely in-depth that he will hear heartbeats and hunger pains, neither is it fine enough to be strained for eavesdropping in the room over. It is above average, easily.
Regeneration;
As with many reptile species, regenerative traits are gifted in both forms; accelerated by fire and heat, while without, it is still above average. He can regrow all limbs and organs within days of injury, scars fading over a duration of weeks.
Rebirth;
Death is but a wishful thought for the Mávros, Cayden's rebirthing causing body to stone over as though statue. When all life has left the body, the skin begins to harden, blacken, and eventually solidify thoroughly. This is a replenishing phase that allows the body to regrow, heal over, and/or mend whatever had caused death-state. Varying between crumbling stone and heated fissures causing protective layer to melt, his returned body will always come back anew and unblemished.
Wings;
Quite cumbersome, as these are large appendages that are mostly used for stability and combat over low, sweeping flight. The arms are sufficiently muscled to the thumbs, where single talon tips the digit. These are not only sharp, but a thin canal allows for a paralytic venom to be delivered to victims under wings thumb. Extending fingers are webbed by a leather-like membrane, the pointed finger tips are also talon'd, however absent of venom. These become neck-frills as the serpent emerges. Each spine in the frills is tipped with venomous end, fanning in defensive warning and preventing attacks on vital parts.

Earth Attunement;
Strength and Stability. The inherent ability to manipulate, utilize, and control properties of earth and its elements between. In short; Earthen materials like rock and dirt are at the whim of this Mávros. Channeling this usage makes the Mávros crushingly stronger, more stable and difficult to move.
Fire Attunement;
Power and Healing. Contrast to his previous element, Cayden has been given control over the element of fire. He is both warm and capable of regulating this warmth. Outside of controlling the element of fire, it can also be produced at a whim with little to no expense to him. Fire will not burn, neither will it raise threat to him.
Necromancy;
The ability to raise the deceased.
Shadow Sun Seal;
**This will be edited soon!!** A seemingly irrelevant tattoo upon his chest. It resembles an old tribal Sun, the difference being the ornate runic on the inside edge; written all the way around. Inked and empowered by Leaxion Nightsing. Energy is stored and siphoned into this marking to prevent the sun from being harmful. It's inner mechanics are unknown to Cayden, but it proves to be effective, indeed.
Weakness;
To be completed more. Cold
The following is for pilot; this is a template to use!
