Powers and Abilities
Yufei still has some of his supernatural abilities, but not at full capacity. And a few new ones he's not aware of yet!
Eye Shine - If shined with a light source, his eyes will reflect like an animals.
Heightened Senses - He has a very sensitive nose and incredibly good hearing. Unfortunately his vision is worse now and he can't see in the dark anymore, though he can see better than an average human in low light.
Physics is for Other People - He can leap across things without a running start, he can climb vertical surfaces as long as they're not completely smooth, he's way stronger than he should be, and he can tear things apart without much effort.
Let Me In - Like most cryptids he can't cross the threshold of someone's living space (or tent so long as it has something like a doorway) without being let in. (Either verbally or with gestures) He doesn't actually know this because he's never tried to get into someone's house and he's just convinced tents are made out of some impenetrable material he can't claw through for some reason.
Don't Call for Help - He can make electronics go to static and stop functioning.
Seek and Destroy - So long as he's gotten the smell of someone at some point in the past he can track them if they're within a mile or so and know how long it's been since they were at a specific location.
Detect Life - He can smell all living (and dead) things and tell them apart from inanimate objects immediately. For example he could identify a corpse in a room full of mannequins or fake plants versus live plants. (He's onto you 5g cell tower in the forest pretending to be a tree)
Blood of the Dead - This is a new one that he's yet to discover, Yufei's body doesn't have any blood in it anymore, it's been replaced with sand, and he'll leak out like a sandbag if cut. Functionally there's no visible difference when looking at him, it's only if it's exposed to air that the sand becomes apparent. Which also means he no longer produces any body heat - poor guy is always cold now. He's also in the body of a corpse, so he doesn't need to eat or drink or sleep. If he eats he'll throw it up eventually because he doesn't have a digestive track anymore. He doesn't heal, his hair doesn't grow, and he has no heartbeat. He does breathe, because it's muscle memory, but he doesn't need to. He still feels pain, and if he's injured he'll need to go collect all his lost sand and put it back inside him to fully function again. When the sand runs out he'll die.
