Ixzo
physical appearance
As a human, Ixzo stands at a healthy length of six feet, two inches. Among the Myrians, she was short, but among the humans, she stands much higher than even many of the men. Despite this, her most striking feature is not the cat-like grace in which she moves, or the mute silver eyes of a nightlion, but the tattoos and scars that cover her body. As tradition from her clan, Ixzo earned her markings with her accomplishments. Her hair is done up in the traditional Shorn Skulls fashion; Never cut dreads massed into a mohawk atop her head, which can only benefit her height. Her midnight skin is kindly accented by strong cheek bones and thick lips. There always seems to be an intentional set to her brow, and when she laughs or smiles, however rare, there is a clear gap between her front teeth. Similar to her lion form, Ixzo has fairly large hands, much larger than one would expect from a human her size, although this is a direct trait from her massive paws as a lion, and one that she finds no shame in.
Ixzo is very much like a lion in that she had long and lean muscles rather than bulky ones, but there is no lacking of power in them as is immediately evident. No stranger to hard work, Ixzo is thickly muscled and with well calloused hands and feet, a strong number of natural scars to compliment her decorative ones. While she rarely intends to intimidate, the first reaction that many have to her is fear, or at least wariness. In both forms, Ixzo has accumulated a noticeable scar. A long, pale pink line runs parallel across her left forearm as a human, while her lion form has the same injury, with a substantial disruption of fur in its wake. This scar was the result of a fight against pirates for the Drykas in Winter of 515 AV. As a lion, her tattoos cannot be seen under her fur, but one may recognize her from the distinct scars across her back and chest. Even as a lion they appear decorative, and thus making her easily identifiable to those who know her.
As a lion, Ixzo is stunning in her own way. Among her kind, she has a pitch black pelt, missing the traditional patches of grey that marks most of her kind. The massive cat also holds a silvery stare that reflects in her human form and affords her excellent vision through both forms. Like any lion, Ixzo moves with grace on large paws and slender shoulders, but unlike her purely animal kin, she holds a knowledge in her eyes, that shows she is more than the average nightlion, if you could call the creatures as such. An excellent hunter, there is no lacking in Ixzo's weight. What isn't muscle has a healthy layer of fat and a glossy coat which, as a lion, speaks louder of her fortune than as a human.

racial traits and abilities
The ability to shift back and forth between their animal form and their human form is an inherent gift every Kelvic has. They never forget it or fail to be able to do it. Each shift looks exactly identical from Kelvic to Kelvic. Every last one is virtually alike. There are no rearranging of bones, no pain, and no switching around of tissue for Kelvics like there are for morphers. The shift seems to simply consist of a Kelvic borrowing a human form from somewhere deep inside and assuming it. The opposite happens when they shape shift into an animal. One form (either human or animal) is neither more comfortable for them than the other. Each form is equally comfortable.
Bonds among Kelvics and their bondmates are tangible things. A bond cannot be forced nor made by fear or pain. When a bond forms, most partners must be willing. For each pair – Kelvic and Bondmate – the process is different. However, in general the situation resembles or is very similar to falling in love abruptly. Bonding is almost never a slow process. It is usually abrupt, unexpected, and a surprise to both parties. Kelvics can only bond to one person at a time, though Bondmates may have more than one Kelvic bound to them.
Ixzo’s night lion form has excellent night vision and smell, which do transfer over to her human form, but not to the extent of her lion form. She is able to see further and clearer than humans in the dark, and can pick up on scents that most humans cannot. While these traits are not necessarily noticeable, Ixzo does possess silver feline eyes even in her human form, which allows her to see this way. She is otherwise indistinguishable from a normal human, without further inspection.
