The Contest of Mortals [OOC]

If submissions are still open, I have a particular character in mind for use.

Name: Ra'ishi (Ray-She)
Nickname: Rai
Race: Kirek
Sex: Male
Homeworld: Chrysalis
Galaxy: Milky Way
Description:
Ra'ishi is an adult Kirek, an alien species of sentient apex predators from the world of Chrysalis. Standing at 7'8" and weighing in at 262lbs, he is a prime example of the Warlord subspecies. Bipedal, he resembles an upright canid with twin jointed legs, the clawed talons in place of feet possessing four forward facing digits as well as a shorter digit facing behind him. A six foot long prehensile tail angles behind him from the base of the spine, while one of the defining features of the subspecies, his four upper limbs, exist in the position of arms, in a complex double shoulder allowing them both a nearly complete range of motion. Each arm is three and a half feet long, ending in a six digit hand, four fingers, and two opposable thumbs, each bearing a wickedly sharp two inch claw.

Nearly his entire body is covered in a stiff "fur", save for strips of thick, scaly hide on the forearms, hands, calves, feet, and across the shoulders and base of the thick neck. The head is an almost classic example of a canid head structure scaled to his height and weight, with a muzzle nearly a foot long, upper and lower jaws lined with inch long fangs, the canines two inches. The exception to the otherwise familiar sight is in the eyes. Where canids only possess two, Ra'ishi has six. The top-most, gleaming gold with a pearlescent sheen and slitted in the manner of a cat, perceive both visible and ultraviolet spectrums, granting him a perception impossible to match with most species basic eyesight. The middle set, a bloody crimson in hue with an hourglass dark streak as the pupil, see the infrared spectrum, sensing heat in the manner of a serpent and offering exceptional night vision. The third set, milky pale with no visible pupil but the hint of pores, is not precisely an eye, but a highly adapted auditory organ that forms sound itself into images, while also detecting electromagnetic fields. This compounded vision is ideal for the situations a Kirek hunts within, where the camouflaging capabilities to evade detection are many.

The "fur" is actually a complex structure involving more than more than trace amounts of silicates and metals, forming a natural weave of surprisingly resilient armor over the toughened hide of an adult Kirek. While not invulnerable, by any measure, it offers a defense on par with light chainmail. More unique, however, are a select group within the tip of the tail, longer, more rigid than the others. Through each of these spines is a nerve bundle, the electrical action of a targeted impulse solidifying the spine into a solid, unflexing. This action also fractures the root, allowing the spine to drop free with a sufficient kinetic shock...or be hurled with significant velocity given an excessive jolt, an innate tactic used by the Kirek to strike at range.

The last unique feature of a Kirek is within, with an extra lobe within their brain structure. This node is the hidden mechanism that allows the Kirek their position as apex predators within their world. Generating an unusual form of radiation, this projected field renders a Kirek immune to psionic energies and masks their presence from extrasensory detection, while retaining a disruptive effect of extranatural energies. Psionics will not work when projected on a Kirek, and magic is heavily reduced in effect due to this unique biological trait.

Ra'ishi possesses the physical strength to outmatch any native Earth predator, with a deceptive agility and guile that such a large creature wouldn't be expected to possess.

Abilities:
Spine Barrage [1 Round]: Triggering the nerve impulse to stiffen and fracture the base, Ra'ishi takes careful aim for his foe, before lashing his tail with the practice of generations of Kirek before him to hurl a salvo of deadly sharp spines with the force of a compound longbow up to twenty feet with precise accuracy, or fifty feet with a spread akin to a shotgun.

Analyze [3 Rounds]: Intent focus and study over time with the advantages of his exceptional perception capabilities are able to discern as accurate a study of his foe's strengths and weaknesses, deciphering telling cues of their movements and identifying weaknesses in their defenses. What some might call precognition, Ra'ishi merely calls excellent eyesight.

Frenzy [5 Rounds]: As a Kirek engages in combat, they begin to secrete a store of adrenaline throughout their bodies, accumulating in local organs for release in times of need for sudden, unexpectedly furious action. When released into the bloodstream, this stored chemical drives a Kirek into the pinnacle of manic, unrelenting power and speed, exceeding their already prodigious physical stats by a factor approaching up to five times. A Kirek in the midst of an adrenaline frenzy is a force of nature, animalistic power under the guide of frightening competent intelligence.
 
Probably dead :emoji_thinking:
But I'm still open to doing an arena match if you want!
I already have my CS, I PMed it to WiZ but I've never got a response.
