Natural Abilities
Laguran Physiology - Luce being a full-blood Laguran possesses a number of natural abilities due to her species having to adapt to the mostly water plant of Lagura.


 * Bioluminescence - Her veins glow an incandescent blue when in contact with water. It's purpose was to help many Laguran find there ways out of caves in extremely dark waters.
 * Oxygen Absorption - Laguran can breathe through their skin. They can absorb oxygen from air and water. This absorption through the skin also makes it possible for Laguran to practice a form of refined respiration that allows them to survive in certain environments with ambient hazards by filtering out such hazards as they take oxygen in. However, it is unknown if they can also exhale air this way.
 * Enhanced Condition - Beyond what is listed above, Luce's body is also much more versatile in many other ways such as agility, endurance and reflexes.
 * Enhanced Eyesight - Lagurans can see more spectra of light than humans can. This allows them to perceive highlighted (from their point of view) shapes and images that would otherwise be invisible to humans, as well as marginally clearer in the dark. This presumably also makes it easier for them to see their way in conjunction with their bio-luminescent veins.
 * Webbed Feet - Luce has webbed feet that aids her in locomotion while in water.
 * Speed Swimming - Laguran can swim at far superior speeds to humans, Luce was able to keep up and even swim fast enough to keep up with a man-made watercraft.
 * Hollow Skeleton - Luce's bones are hollow, making them lighter, faster and more agile.

Weaknesses

 * Sensitivity - Luce like all Lagurans are sensitive to salt and dry air.
 * Heat Radiation - Lagurans need a certain amount of humidity in the air, and can become very weak when in contact with a powerful heat radiation, and this can cause them to dry out and appear frail and old. Even incapacitated to an extent. They return to their normal state when submerged in water.

Etymology

 * Luce is the French variant of Lucia which is the feminine form of Lucius, a Roman praenomen, or given name, which was derived from Latin lux "light". Saint Lucia was a 4th-century martyr from Syracuse. She was said to have had her eyes gouged out, and thus she is the patron saint of the blind. She was widely revered in the Middle Ages, and her name has been used throughout Christian Europe (in various spellings). It has been used in the England since the 12th century, usually in the spellings Lucy or Luce.
 * This also means "light" in Italian.
 * Nygaard is has origins in Norwegian, Danish, or Swedish and mean "new homestead" or "new farm"
 * Tora is of an unknown meaning but belongs to one of the lowest caste known as the Shr'alo.
 * Luceryia means "horn of antimony" in Laguran.
