Krytis

Krytis "Blistering Might" The Skinless Ambassador It is rumoured that long ago, Skinless stripped the flesh from their lean bodies of their own volition, as a message to the rest of dragonkind that they were invulnerable to pain, and could not be frightened by the threat of violence. It has since become an inherent trait. Despite the horrifying appearance of the Skinless, rest assured that they are not in discomfort. The exposed nerve endings of muscular and connective tissues are far less sensitive. Their surface vessels release rivulets of fresh blood, which help to cleanse dirt and bacteria amassed in a typical day. This emission is constant and accumulates as a tacky, clotted substance which covers them like a protective layer. They will avoid water at all costs, as washing away the bloody coating will leave them vulnerable to native infections.

lore notes:

- unlike the other elemental ambassadors, krytis refuses to wear traditional elemental apparel
- he also rejected his elemental familiar (familiars are important in this clan, and he's bonded with his kamaitachi)
- one of the only ambassadors to actually be born of the element they represent
- as a child, his mother tore his skin from his body as a lesson in survival
- unlike the other ambassadors, his skills are physical rather than magical
