Personally I’m very glad how this turned out

This time I went for a more DBZ type hairstyle, based off of exclusively Broly and SSJ Trunks (Not DBS Trunks, og Trunks)

When Startouched Grodotians need to use Aether, they have to build it up in their body. This requires steady breathing, focus and a stable mind. The more skill one has, the faster this can be accumulated to use.

When enough Aether is built up in Max’s body, a blueish-purple glow will outline his body, and his hair spikes a bit.

Because both hair and nails are made of keratin, some Startouched have a rare genetic trait that allows their nails to spike as well as their hair, making for a deadly natural weapon. Only about 10% of all Startouched Grodotians carry this gene, Max is not one of them.
