+ Due to genetic manipulation, as a Clawdite, Ryssa possesses the extremely rare ability to change their appearance. When using this ability, she could change the color and texture of her skin and eyes, mimicking the appearance of other similarly-shaped beings, such as Humans. Shifting into a Weequay, a species with similar facial features, was a fairly easy task.
Though she could not add physical mass to her body, she is able to form hair, and could actually make it quite long. Clawdites were also able to mimic the appearance of clothing or jewelry, provided that the item laid directly on their skin, as it was merely a manipulation of their skin's texture. She could not change the appearance of her actual clothing, and has to rely on holographic technology in order to change such items.
She is constantly practicing meditation and concentration techniques in order to maximize their capabilities.
- Not the best melee fighter. More scrappy than anything else
- Allergic to Pheromones
- Unlike most shape-changing species, the Clawdite's shifting abilities actually caused them great physical discomfort.
- Not a perfect Mimic: Even the most talented Clawdite, however, lacked the fine coordination it would take to mimic a specific individual's appearance precisely.
- Reverts to her true form when sleeping or severely wounded.
Ryssa was born on Zolan some indeterminate amount of time ago. She is a 'changeling', one of the shape shifting species in the galaxy. In her natural form, she has the appearance of a reptilian humanoid, and has in fact evolved from repto mammals. In her natural form, she has sunken cheeks with a narrow nose and a small mouth. A thin line ran down her forehead and creased the center of her nose. She has large hazel eyes with slit-like pupils. Her skin is rough and was a pale green hue.
Unlike the other shapeshifting species, it causes great physical discomfort for Ryssa to shift. Only through recent learning of techniques that she is practicing has she been able to dull that some, but it still causes great discomfort.
Ryssa left Zolan as she had been persecuted by the deeply religious Zolanders, because they believed the Clawdites were impure and sinful.
She has a natural knack at history, and thoroughly enjoys wandering in the various ancient slums of her home-world, where she got her initial love for archaeology. Street smarts lead to learning how to conduct herself in wild terrains, and her shape-shifting abilities allowed her to maximize her efforts to a successful raid.
