Yokai Physiology Not so human after all.

1
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Leon Vanderblight, Created by leonvanderblight.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

Physiology is in its way unique to mortals. Leon does not age, he does not breathe, he does not eat, nor does he drink. So the facsimile of human anatomy he has held has been something that's been a vestige of his weakened state for some time. No longer. The interior of his body holds only masses of spiritual energy that Leon can move around freely and destroying these organs so long as he retains function no longer hurts him as though it will expose his nonhuman nature if he's hit with a grenade. His body reforms around the injury as the spiritual mass absorbs reiki from the air to reconstitute itself, it will not kill him. No, to truly slay Leon you must now commit to a grueling battle of attrition. One in which you are against the energy of the world, and Leon does not fancy your chances.
