Soulmelds
These are visible as semi-real when he wants them to be.

Dread Carapace - while visible, Dread Carapace manifests as golden scales growing across ZeeKATA's back and shoulders. It grants a penalty to hit with his natural weapons, but grants additional damage with them.

Pegasus Cloak - Pegasus Cloak manifests as a cloak of feathers across his back. It gives a boost to jump as well as a constant feather fall effect.

Brass Mane - Brass Mane manifests by giving ZeeKATA the face and mane of a lion, it grants a bonus to intimidate.

Ankheg Breastplate - this manifests as brown-green chitin armor. Unsurprisingly, it grants a bonus to armor.

Krenshar Mask - this manifests by making ZeeKATA's face appear gaunt and bony, even making bone visible around the edges. It grants a bonus to jump and move silently.

The numbers on these aren't listed because he can shift them by moving his essentia around.

Backstory
ZeeKATA was born on the uppermost island of Darfella, to a tribe of pirates. He never knew his father, as is often the way of things among their tribe. He excelled in his life there, doing well even despite his mother's death when he was 11. By the age of 18 he was leading raids on smaller ships, and bringing in more than enough food and treasure.

Through that time he always felt like there was something more to the world, but he quelled that as best he could. On one fateful trip, he ended up on the central island of Darfella, after driving another ship to land there. After taking all the victim had, he explored the island for a bit. As he was doing so, he felt a tremor, and not long after the ground beneath him burst open. A bulette, a landshark, had burst out of the ground, with every intention of having pirate for dinner. ZeeKATA was only saved by a timely intervention on the part of a native totemist shaman.

For several years after that day, whenever he could make time to head over to the island, he would, and he'd seek teaching from the shaman, named RaoMAN. He learned much about the power of magical beasts, and the place they should hold, in our reverence.

Later, when he had his own crew, he taught them of the power that could be sought through these totems. And not long after that the whole crew ended up here, in Mehdok's Domain.
