Tantsumaki Gargoyles

Concept Information - Severe WIP

Info
Tantsumaki (tan-su-ma-key) gargoyles are considered an unfavorable breed. While generally the same as other gargoyles, the Tantsumaki are born of an unknown mutation. There are suspected reasons, however the mutations seem apparently random.

The mutations allow for a number of abilities in which some may consider mystical or supernatural. One common trait to the Tantsumaki is the biometallic substance they are born with. In most subjects the substance lines the bones of the forearms and has morphagenic properties typically with only form it can change into, commonly a blade that extends from either then forearm or near the elbow joint Some subjects have the capability of either controling the mass to cause other protrutions on the body or extending blade-like structures from multiple points on a single extremity.

Very little is known about this substance other than it is found only in the Tantsumaki breed and cannot be destroyed. The most common use of the biometal is as a natural defense. However enslaved Tantsumaki would have this metal harvested which in turn renders the forearms and hands paralized. The old Satarian government had authroized such torture to weaponize the material. However it was met with limited success.

Other abilities include things such as telekenisis, cryokinesis, pyrokinesis, aerokenisis and the much rarer chronokenisis. Most Tantsumaki would carry at most two of these traits, however some subjects have been known to posess 4. Only two in recorded history have been known to have all 5 in which the chronokinetic ability is severely limited and almost useless.

Tantsumaki have an unknown lifespan. Mythology states once a certain age is reached and would appear to be different for each individual, (to be determined) they are virtually deathless with the oldest living Tantsumaki having been killed by being shot into the sun (star name). Some rumors are this is not a permanent death as the surviving matter of the remains will once again regenerate upon the star's destruction. The only known Tantsumaki alive is Lexington Goyle. His mate, Ambassader Leonardo (figure out a surname for him) was killed in the Satar-Terra war.
