## Arezou

**Arezou the Salamander** is a member of the Midesta Egg Army, and serves under Midesta Egg Boss Nephthys the Vulture of the Ancient Garrison Egg Base.

## Physical Description

A lean salamander who stands close to four feet tall, Arezou has a short muzzle with slit nostrils, thick, vaguely horn-like extensions on her head, and a long tail that fattens in the middle before tapering down to a rounded tip.

Her skin is primarily black coffee in color, with a calamansi muzzle, and a collection of amber-colored spots and markings decorating her face, shoulders, back, thighs, and tail. She has no hair on her head, and her eyes are asparagus in color.

Arezou's outfit consists of a specialized suit designed to keep her from becoming dehydrated too quickly in the dry Midesta weather and also mimic the slipperiness of her skin; it greatly resembles the standard Egg Soldier fatigues, but with a particularly thick collar around the neck, and shorter sleeves. She also wears pants and boots, but no gloves.

## Abilities

Arezou doesn't have outstanding physical strength, but she doesn't need it; the Cybernetic implants under her skin amplify her natural toxikinesis to considerable degrees, giving her much greater control over it, as well. A simple poison-laced strike with her bare hands is more than enough to envenomate her opponent if she can break skin, and even then her poison can cause a highly painful burning sensation if it comes into contact with exposed flesh, making her a dangerous fighter up close.

Being a salamander, she has a highly flexible body, and her slippery skin makes it hard for people to grab a hold of her, especially if they try to grab onto her tail; more often than not, it'll simply slip right out of their hands. Speaking of her tail, it's also semi-prehensile, and she can carry lightweight objects with it. She's also a strong swimmer.

Her natural toxikinesis is now quite formidable thanks to the Cybernetic implants, and she primarily wields strong mid-tier techniques of the Poison Element; she even has access to a few higher-tier ones, although those are more costly to her stamina.

### Genetic Ability: Slippery Skin

A genetic ability that is incredibly common in amphibians, it causes Arezou's skin to almost constantly generate a thin layer of mucus; this mucus not only helps to keep her hydrated, it also causes weak physical attacks to, more often than not, simply bounce or slide off of her skin, and makes it easier for her to escape from being grappled; however, it also leaves her more vulnerable to extreme heat. Dehydration practically nullifies her Slippery Skin, especially if it is severe.

Being a manipulator of Poison, she can leech toxins into her mucus layer for an extra form of defense against unarmed physical strikes.

### Strengths/Resistances

Arezou is resistant to the Element of Poison. She is quite fast, and can easily outpace slower foes and evade their attacks, and is also highly flexible, due to her species; her slippery skin also makes it hard for opponents to grasp onto any exposed part of her body, particularly her tail. Being an amphibian, she thrives in rainy, moisture-heavy weather, and is also a strong swimmer.

### Weaknesses

Arezou is weak to the Element of Nature, and her toxikinesis isn't too useful against wielders of Earth and Wind, giving her little means to muscle past opponents like that. Her defenses aren't anything special, therefore she mostly relies on her agility and dexterity to try and evade potentially devastating attacks. Being an amphibian, hot, dry weather can dehydrate her quickly if she isn't careful.
