My final post of the night. Got class tomorrow ya’ll!

As a result of Xaallo’s sessions with Kaldane, he has the hardest subdermal plates of all his siblings. This is due mostly to a technicality: Okaal has literal eusollon chitin in place of the typical interlocking plates.

And the bottom of the heap is Kjoll.

Doesn’t sleep in the pitch black.

He’s got a little nightlight-- bathes the room in blues and purples. Or sleeps in the common area with the TV on.

Speaking of Xaallo’s temper, this is something else he’s self-conscious about. A bad temperament indicates a bad bloodline/that a margaven is “bad bred”. Young Margavens kind of go through a period of emotional instability as a result of their bodies settling into their adult forms and Xaallo isn’t full grown yet. For now, he excuses the few outbursts he does have as him simply having some growing up to do (and conveniently makes few other references to being immature outside of this).

Rriimsi and Kaldane, his older siblings/adoptive parents, and his paternal half-brother Okaal are pretty mellow. However, his biological mother Zhoka had a legendary temper and his maternal half-brother Kjoll has that same firebrand type attitude.

When crossed, Xaallo is typically just various levels of irritated. Even we he does get truly angry, that self-consciousness is a robust deterrent to any violent outbursts and the most he’ll do verbally shred someone or/and physically intimidate them. Usually. I imagine an angry Xaallo is a lot like a bull elephant in musth, only he (thankfully) isn’t thinking with his fifth leg and the anger is that particularly malicious kind only found in sapient animals seasoned with Xaallo’s own brand of scorn.

He can baa. You’ll probably never hear it, because rarely does Xaa get that nervous or scared, but it’s something he might do if he’s distressed enough.
