Oricenta Upgrade: Arjean

Healing - Arjean can heal mild scratches, bruises, and burns for both themself and others.

Humanoid, Cervitaur, and Peryton Shape-Shifting - Whenever an oricenta shapeshifts their body glows and turns into a cell-like form to make morphing easier with no pain. No matter the oricenta’s form, their markings stay on their face. When an oricenta is shifting, they are vulnerable. Depending on how far they are, being interrupted can force them out of the shifting process into a half-shifted and disfigured form. Their aolin is also visible in this form and can be attacked to strip the oricenta of most, if not all, of their magic.

Child oricenta have bodies that are more malleable to prevent disfiguration when shifting. They have trouble staying in one form and often shift from intense emotion or lack of focus. Frequent shifting will leave them tired and magically drained, but the older they get, the easier it is for them to stay in one form.

• Humanoid Form - The oricenta only has two legs of a deer, but where the hooves should be are the talons of an owl. Their wings are placed on their back.
  
  
• Cervitaur Form - The oricenta has the upper body of their humanoid form, but the lower body of a deer. Their hind hooves are replaced with talons, and their wings are moved to the sides of their deer body to better support them during flight. They are around 8-11 inches taller than their humanoid form.
  
  
• Peryton Form - The oricenta's body is similar to a peryton: a deer with owl wings and hind hooves replaced with talons. They can only speak to oricenta in this form and make a sound like a mix of a deer and owl. They are around the same height as their humanoid form and shoulder-height as their cervitaur form.

Charm: Cold Bracelet - The person wearing this charm will be kept cold when in warm areas. The charm can only handle temperatures up to 38 degrees Celsius. Anything past that will temporarily disable the charm for an hour. The charm needs no charging, but while worn, the wearer cannot benefit from their species' cold and water immunity abilities. They will not be able to breathe underwater, nor will they be able to fly in the rain without losing their ability to fly soon after. They will gain no strength from being in cold or wet areas.

Cloud Oricenta Abilities - As a combination of Air and Water, Cloud oricenta are creatures of the skies and the aquatic, and their natural habitats are the skies and cold/wet environments.

The physique (strength, speed, durability, etc.) of oricenta children will not be nearly as strong as their fully grown counterparts, though they will still be supernaturally stronger than their normal human peers.

• Air: Fast Fliers - Air oricenta excel at flight for extended periods of time, can fly at about 60 to 70 miles per hour, and can easily adapt to high altitudes. Compared to other oricenta, they have very large wings, which makes flying through wooded areas difficult, so they stick to clear areas.
  
  
• Air: Air Sensitive - Air oricenta can detect vibrations in the air to get a general sense of the area around them, like if something is nearing them and its size.
  
  
• Air: Lightweight - Air oricenta are very light. When they fall, they float slowly like a feather, and in water they are buoyant.
  
  
• Air: Acrobatic - Air oricenta are supernaturally agile, flexible, and steady like they were born to be gymnasts. They can contort their bodies in unnatural ways and are naturally good at balancing themselves on any platform.
  
  
• Water: Birds of the Sea - Water oricenta can breathe, speak, and swim at about 35 miles per hour in water and not lose the ability to fly in rain.
  
  
• Water: Cold - Water oricenta have naturally cool bodies that can range from cold to freezing based on their emotions.
  
  
• Water: Wet - When Water oricenta cry or sweat, they produce significantly more water than any normal human, and their water will become very cold or freeze, depending on the extremity of their emotions.

Oricenta Physiology - Oricenta have both the traits of an owl and deer, as well as other traits unique to their species. For their owl traits, oricenta are able to adapt to high environments, adapt to atmospheres for flight, grow sharp and strong nails for hunting, night adaption (seeing well in the night, functioning better during the night, etc.), and have a predatory instinct (enhanced tracking and hunting). For their deer traits, oricenta have enhanced speed, jump, and agility. Despite taking on most features of owls and deer, they lack the prey instincts of deer and have the full predatory instincts of owls.

For traits unique to themselves, oricenta can emit a sound that is a mixture of a deer and owl. They all have horns instead of antlers. Generally, they have blunt teeth with very sharp canines, but some have teeth that are all sharp.

Immortality - 24-years is when oricenta hit their prime and stop aging. They are still vulnerable to sicknesses and wounds; however, they have a passive healing ability that allows them to recover faster than a human. If injured, as long as their aolin is safe and fueled, they will automatically heal as much as their magic is capable of. Fatal damage will force their body into an "emergency mode" that puts all of its resources into healing, leading to the oricenta becoming fatigued, and if pushed too hard, unconscious. The use of their own specialized healing abilities allows them to quicken the recovery process and push themself further in exchange for more energy.

Cloud Oricenta Weaknesses -

• Air: Creatures of the Sky - Air oricenta feel an almost irresistible pull to be high up in the skies. They will have dips in their mood that can range from "sad" to "depressive" and become physically weaker the longer they are away.
  
  
• Air: Fragile - Air oricenta are physically weaker and easier to damage. Their bodies are naturally delicate and are prone to bruises from normal physical interaction and broken bones from being held roughly, but their physical strength as an oricenta still remains.
  
  
• Air: Slow Runners - Air oricenta have weak legs, and when running, they can only go as fast as about 10-15 miles per hour for short bursts of time.
  
  
• Air: Earth Magic - Air oricenta take double the damage from Earth magic.
  
  
• Water: Creatures of the Sea - Water oricenta feel an almost irresistible pull to be in cold and wet environments. They will have dips in their mood that can range from "sad" to "depressive" and become physically weaker the longer they are away.
  
  
• Water: Water Bathing - Water oricenta must submerge themselves in water once a day to stay hydrated and in their prime. They can only drink and bathe in cold water.
  
  
• Water: No Thermal Resistance - The heat halves Water oricenta's movements and discomforts them. Staying in the heat for more than 30 minutes to an hour will dehydrate them until they shrivel up and die. Mild heat (25 degrees Celsius or slightly above) will not kill them.
  
  
• Water: Fire Magic - Water oricenta take double the damage from Fire magic.

Second Heart: Aolin - Oricenta are born with a second heart on the opposite side of their chest, known as an aolin. The aolin is the core of all their magic, as well as holding their soul. Damage to their aolin will lead to weak and unstable magic, and extreme damage or removal of their aolin will lead to a complete loss of their magic, as well as leaving them in a barely-functional stupor. They will begin to age normally and will waste away over time.

Using magic draws energy from their aolin, which can be restored through eating and resting. Overusing their magic can lead to damage to their aolin. Aolins can only be repaired by magic strong enough to recover an organ. In the case of an oricenta who has begun aging, they will not revert to their previous state, but will not age any further.

When an oricenta dies, any unique abilities they had are contained inside their Aolin. Anyone who possesses it is capable of accessing and using their abilities by either keeping it on their person or by consuming it raw.

Nocturnal - Oricenta must wear special glasses or contacts to see in daylight hours. They require more sleep and take short naps throughout the day.

Diet - Oricenta consume a massive amount of food and are almost constantly eating. They can eat anything an owl, deer, or human could eat, and also produce pellets of undigestible material.

Death-Aligned People - As elementals, oricenta magic leans more towards "life" on the spectrum. As a result, attacks by death-aligned people (reapers, undead, gods of death, etc.) have double the effect on them. When oricenta try to fight death-aligned people, they are not as strong.

Elementalist Trust - Oricenta are made to serve the elements, and as a result, will feel compelled to trust and serve elementalists. To an oricenta, any elementalist immediately feels like a close friend. In particular, elementalists of their specific element are also capable of giving commands to an oricenta. The greater the elementalist's control of their element, the more compelling the command will be. Likewise, the greater the elementalist's connection with the oricenta, the more compelling the command will be, with the possibility of it overriding a stronger elementalist's commands.

An expert at a given element will find that their commands are effectively mind control, requiring a strong will for the oricenta to overcome. The more out of character or large a task is, the better a chance the oricenta has of fighting the command. Abuse of this power by repeatedly making an oricenta do things they would choose to fight can destroy the bond, freeing the oricenta from its effects. Similarly, an elementalist who harms or kills an oricenta will find that they have no access to the bond with any oricenta. Other serious taboos include using an oricenta's stolen aolin or having commanded an oricenta to kill another of their species.

Oricenta who attack elementalists will find their abilities (both physical and magical) halved in strength. This effect is highly based on intent and only works for elementalists who still have the effects of the elementalist trust active.

Oricenta are not compelled to take orders from other oricenta but do feel an instinctive trust in each other.

Healing - Arjean can heal themself, other oricenta, other air elementalists, and other water elementalists. They do this by using their weather manipulation. They can heal mild scratches, bruises, and burns for both themself and others.

Shifting - Oricenta can change shape between three forms: Human, Cervitaur, and Peryton. This can be done at will. Oricenta can shift their hands and feet to be hooves or talons as well depending on their needs. Shifting makes the part changing glows and turn into a cell-like form for easier and painless morphing. Depending on how far they are, being interrupted can force them out of the shifting process into a half-shifted and disfigured form.

Child oricenta have bodies that are more malleable to prevent disfiguration when shifting. They frequently shift from intense emotion and lack of focus, leaving them magically drained easily.

• Human - Looks human. Can parts from. their Peryton and Cervitaur forms.
  
  
• Cervitaur - Hybrid between Peryton and Human forms.
  
  
• Peryton - Winged deer with back legs like an owl.

Enchantment: No-Element - Oricenta have enchanted markings that be activated to take away all of their elemental abilities and weaknesses and deactivated when ready.

Immortality - Oricenta hit their prime at 24 and will not die until fatally injured.

• Passive healing allows them to recover from wounds and sickness faster than a human.
  
  
• If injured, as long as their aolin is safe and fueled, they will automatically heal as much as their magic is capable of.
  
  
• Fatal damage will force their body into an "emergency mode" that puts all of its resources into healing, leading to the fatigue, and if pushed too hard, unconsciousness.
  
  
• Active healing abilities allow them to quicken the recovery process in exchange for more energy.

Cloud Oricenta Weaknesses - Stats are debuffed due to being a child, but they are still enhanced for their age.

• Feels an almost irresistible pull to be high up in the skies, windy areas, cold areas, and wet areas. The longer they are away, the more their mental and physical health degrades. Must submerge themselves in cold water, be in windy areas, or fly for 20 minutes daily to not degrade.
  
  
• More fragile than humans, but not to an extreme extent. Rough interactions leave bad bruising.
  
  
• Average run speed 5 mph, top run speed 10 mph.
  
  
• Heat halves movement speed. Being in the heat for 30 minutes to an hour can lead to death by dehydration. Mild heat (25°C Celsius or slightly above) will not kill them.
  
  
• Takes double the damage from earth and fire magic.

Second Heart: Aolin - Oricenta are born with a second heart on the opposite side of their chest called an aolin. It is the core of their magic and soul.

• Damage to their aolin makes their magic weak and unstable. Severe damage or removal leads to the loss of their elements, magic, and will to live.
  
  
• Oricenta do not age. However, an oricenta who has overused their magic, or who has a severely damaged aolin will begin to age quickly. This aging does not revert.
  
  
• Upon death, an oricenta's unique abilities are contained within the aolin. Those possessing it can harness those powers, or consume the aolin to gain the power for themselves. Aolins without owners will be transported back to Ilada for absorption.

Diet - Oricenta have difficulty processing foods not attuned to their element. If they consume a food too far from their elemental affinity (which is most human foods), it gives them painful stomachaches and takes around an hour for them to digest. During this digestion period, they're incapable of activating any elemental abilities but still have normal elemental weaknesses.

• When their No Element enchantment is activated, they can digest anything an owl, deer, or human could eat. If they turn off the enchantment, food that strives too far from their element will still turn off their powers until it is out of their body. They produce pellets of undigestible material.
  
  
• Non-bonded oricenta are always affected by this, bonded ones are only affected by eating things that are too much of the opposite; Fire oricenta eating soup, Air oricenta eating something really dense.

Elementalist Trust - Oricenta are compelled to trust and serve elementalists. Oricenta see elementalists as close friends or masters, and elementalists see oricenta like close friends or people who need protecting and caring.

• Elementalists of their element can give comments to an oricenta, with the degree of force being connected to their control of their element, their relationship with the oricenta, and how uncharacteristic a task is. This ranges from a slight nudge to mind control.
  
  
• Asking an oricenta to do things they'd fight against, using a stolen aolin, commanding an oricenta to murder, or bringing harm to an oricenta can damage the bond, either with the specific oricenta or with all oricenta as a whole.
  
  
• Oricenta who attack elementalists who still have the trust will find their abilities halved in strength. This effect is highly based on intent and would not include playful/consensual fighting.
