Teriteqas
Appearance
Teriteqas is rather typical for an Abtati. He is average in height with a fit build from a lifetime of living in the sands of Amol-Kalit. He has the typical amber eyes and black hair kept short common for his kind as well. He is a young adult and his complexion reflects this fact.
Where Teriteqas begins to look unique is in his tribal marks. The resurrection plant is tattooed across the left side of his neck and face with it going so low as onto his shoulder and upper torso. It is a dark green from the ink used made from the plant represented and minerals collected from the desert. He contains earrings made from gold in both ears with an extra loop on his left ear. A nasty scar clearly from some kind of beast trails across his face from under his left eye down, over his lips, and then ends somewhere on the right side of his chin.

He is able to command those with weaker wills and weaker minds. He is able to draw out as well as seep life into other living things, although to a limited degree. He is capable of changing himself into animals smaller than himself, but doing so comes with the risk of losing his sense of self and being stuck in that shape until someone else can force him to turn back if he gets knocked out while shifted.
