Physical Description
Rhevi is a fairly large Hestari, even for a male, with a mottled-red shell scarred by centuries of battles. Like all of his species (and subspecies), he has two arms ending in ten-fingered hands resembling king crabs, and four legs which fold close to his body for swimming, with the hind legs hipped higher and being longer than the forelegs. His tail is half as long as he is tall, and a series of flexible, yet extremely durable plates allows his 'torso' to be held upright and his head to bend forward while walking, yet allow his body and head to be parallel when swimming, the result of millenia of Hestari genetic research during the conquering of Hesta's land masses. Like his legs, Rhevi's arms tuck into his sides for swift swimming. Several small finlike structures along his body act like a shark's fins, with the exception of his large upper and lower tail fins.

Rhevi has gold eyes which strongly resemble a shark's, and two six-foot-long, flexible antennae just above them which can sense temperature, changes in the wind, barometric pressure, scent, and, to a lesser degree than his tongue, taste, as well as, in water, provide passive electrolocation. The last two feet of these antennae are highly sensitive to touch. Two three-foot antennae just behind them function as his ears by sensing vibrations, capable of hearing frequencies as low as 5Hz and as high as 110KHz, and are also highly sensitive to touch. With the exception of these antennae, the lack of nostrils, and the plates overlapping to cover his mouth, his head resembles that of a Great White shark in its shape.

Like all Hestari, the hard sections of Rhevi's shell appear smooth from a distance, but are actually sandpaperlike on the surface up close. His mouth is covered by two vertically overlapping shell plates (lower longer than upper), and has several rows of teeth which routinely fall out and grow back in as they dull.

Personality
Rhevi is, like most of his kind, patient, willing to play the long game rather than risk long-term progress over short-term pleasure. In combat, he is the type to let his opponents make the first move, and study them from a distance to find openings before going in for the kill, rather than charging in from the word go.

Like his sisters, Rhevi opposes the enslavement of sentient, self-aware species, though his military position does not allow him to be as vocal about it as he'd like, nor allow him to free slaves as readily as his living sister, Ranah.

Magic/Abilities
Poison immunity: Through rampant genetic science, the Hestari have developed genetic traits which adapt their bodies to any toxins, making it literally impossible to poison a Hestari.

Hestari shell: Rhevi's shell is hard enough to cut steel, and can withstand explosions. He can also survive pressures up to 1000 Earth atmospheres, and survive for up to four minutes in a hard vacuum (at which point he would die of asphyxiation).

Gills: Rhevi has both lungs and gills,allowing him to breath underwater and in atmosphere. Breathing through his lungs, however, is less efficient than using his gills, and his stamina and alertness suffer slightly for it.

Rapid regeneration: Hestari are, with the exception of the two lowest subspecies, capable of rapid regeneration of lost tissue, including their shells. The quickest areas to regenerate are the antennae, the hands, and the mouth, able to regrow in minutes, while the slowest areas are the torso, which can take up to 6 hours, the legs, which can take up to 12 hours, and the brain, which can take up to six months, if the damage is moderate, and years, if at all, for severe damage. Exposure to the toxins in Hesta's water cuts the healing time of everything but the brain in half.

All Hestari are capable of functioning in temperatures in the range of 10-95 degrees Fahrenheit with little to no issues without protective gear. With basic thermal insulation/cooling, that range can be expanded to -5-105 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat stroke will set in at the 100-degree mark (110 with basic cooling gear), and death with occur within 5 minutes at 115 (125) and above. Temperatures below 5 (-10) degrees with cause hypothermia and mild frostbite, with death occurring within 5 minutes at temperatures below -10 (-25) degrees. The Hestari comfortable range is between 32 and 62 degrees Fahrenheit.

Relationships
Kelly Varrah: Older sister, deceased.
Ranah Varrah: Younger sister.
