## Powers & Abilities

### Natural Abilities

**Kobold (Phoenix "Warlock"/Kallios) Physiology** - Sasha is half a kallios and half a phoenix due to the unique case that is his parents as his father is a kallios and his mother is a cuckoo phoenix/witch. Similar with all other kallios Sasha will fully manifest his powers on his 13th birthday. He is the first true hybrid of the series.

* **Superhuman Senses** - A kallios senses of sight, smell, hearing, and touch are of supernatural keenness, comparable on many levels to a bat’s. The kallios can see with perfect clarity in the darkness of the night, to the point of being able to detect the bodily heat emanations from its victims. The creature’s hearing is comparable to a bat or an owl, possessing a level of sensitivity on par with the bat’s own echo-sensitivity and they even have a sonar system just in case they are blinded. The kallios sense of smell is as acute as that of a wolf or a dog’s, enabling the creature to track its prey for miles by the scent of the victim’s blood alone, a sensation that the vampire relishes. The kallios is also able to tell individual people apart by the scent of their blood coursing through their veins or bodily odors. The kallios sense of touch is amazingly acute, as the creature can feel the heartbeat of a potential victim through thick walls, or it can detect the vibrations of a hunter’s footsteps and the direction of the footsteps, enabling the kallios to either escape or prepare an ambush for the would-be hunter. In addition to its five senses, the vampire possesses several preternatural senses.
* **Telepathy** - Sasha can speak telepathically with other phoenix's either natural or cuckoo phoenix's.
* **Mediumship** - Sasha possesses the ability to visually concept, perceive, summon and communicate with the deceased and other spiritual beings connected to many astral realms. This can be used to make deals, gain insight of people, situations and events and gain intuition. This can grant astral vision and detection.
* **Limited Shapeshifting** - Sasha has limited shapeshifting abilities, his is greater then his mother who can only change between her bird form and her human form. In Sasha's case he is able to transform into a variety of different animals but cannot transform into other people.

## Possessions

* **Limbai** - Sasha really like's his toy giraffe and has several giraffe toys in his room.
* **Ola** - After seeing a lion loose in Orcadia, Sebastian bought him a stuffed lion toy.

## Etymology

* Sasha is the Russian and Ukrainian diminutive form of Alexander which is the latinized form of the Greek name *Ἀλέξανδρος (Alexandros)*, which meant "defending men" from Greek *ἀλέξω (alexo)* meaning "to defend, help" and *ἀνήρ (aner)* meaning "man" (genitive *ἀνδρός*). In Greek mythology this was another name of the hero Paris, and it also belongs to several characters in the New Testament. However, the most famous bearer was Alexander the Great, king of Macedon. In the 4th century BC he built a huge empire out of Greece, Egypt, Persia, and parts of India. Due to his fame, and later medieval tales involving him, use of his name spread throughout Europe.
* Philocles means "friend of glory", derived from Greek φιλος *(philos)* "friend, lover" combined with Greek κλεος *(kleos)* "glory". Philocles was an Athenian tragic poet during the 5th century BC. Through his mother, Philopatho (Greek: Φιλοπαθώ), he had three famous uncles: Aeschylus, the famous poet, Cynaegirus, hero of the battle of Marathon, and Ameinias, hero of the battle of Salamis. The Suda claims that Philocles was the father of the tragic playwright Morsimus, who was in turn the father of the tragedian Astydamas.
	+ According to the Suda, Philocles wrote 100 tragedies. Philocles is best known for winning first prize in the competition against Sophocles' *Oedipus Rex*. Philocles also wrote a play on the subject of Tereus, which was parodied in Aristophanes' *The Birds* along with Sophocles' treatment of the same subject. A scholiast has noted that Philocles' *Tereus* was part of his *Pandionis* tetralogy. An extant fragment shows that Philocles wrote a play covering the story of Hermione, Neoptolemus and Orestes, a story also addressed by Euripides in his play *Andromache* and by Sophocles in his *Hermione*. In Philocles' version of the Hermione myth, Hermione is betrothed to Neoptolemus by her father Menelaus while she is pregnant with Orestes' child. Philocles also wrote plays entitled *Oedipus* and *Philoctetes*. The Suda also names the following as plays of Philocles: *Erigone*, *Nauplius*, *Oineus*, *Priam*, and *Penelope*.
* Corvin is the English, German and Romanian form of Corvinus the diminutive of Corvus which means "crow" in Latin.
