This newly emerged boy has all the markings of his ferric ancestry - only just out, and he's already independent and rebellious. He's got the markings of a loner, having given quite a bit of difficulty to the staff upon exiting the tube. He's since calmed down, but he refuses to remove those silly shades of his.
The first thing of note, obviously, is that of his multiple arms. He does indeed have four limbs; each of them is covered in a hard chitin, giving him a natural sort of armor. Oddly, an x-ray scan has shown that while he does have an exoskeleton there, he also has internal bones, giving him a double boost of strengthening support. His legs are also covered in the same chitin, but his torso and face are not. The top and back of his head, however, are covered in matching material - rather than hair, he appears to grow strips of shell over his cranium.
His skin, while generally a bright or dark blue color, can shift to an iridescent gold color should be become flushed for any reason. When agitated, a swarm of dark black freckles washes over any skin not covered by shell.
Although his exoskeletal limbs help give him extra strength, this Tekimi does have a disadvantage in his dexterity. He has a thumb, a forefinger, and a fused section where his fingers would otherwise be - giving him a sort of mitten-like hand. It makes actions such as typing rather difficult; accommodations are made as needed, of course, but he will never be able to perform extremely small, intricate actions that require multiple, easily flexible fingers.
