Powers

Feline Avatar Physiology:

Tezcatlipoca's feline physiology grants her a number of superhuman physical capabilities. Through channeling the power of the leopard god Tezcatlipoca, Greer Ballesteros has acquired a leopard-like humanoid male physiology. By her request Greer is to be referred to as "she/her" even in her avatar form.

Empathy: Tezcatlipoca can enhance and control the emotions of others to a degree. This even allows her to restore and sense peoples repressed memories.

Pack "Infection": A kind of therianthropy she can "infect" others with, giving leopard-like appearances and animalistic traits by biting them, including Attikryptians.

Regenerative Healing Factor: If Tezcatlipoca is injured, she is capable of regenerating damaged tissues faster than an ordinary human. She can heal injuries as severe as broken bones within a matter of hours. She is unable to regenerate missing limbs, organs, or brain cells.

Superhuman Agility: Tezcatlipoca's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. She can perform complex gymnastics routines with little effort.

Superhuman Durability: Tezcatlipoca's bodily tissues are much harder and more resistant to physical injury than those of an ordinary human. Her body can withstand great impact forces and blunt trauma that would severely injure or kill a normal human, though she is far from invulnerable.

Superhuman Reflexes: Her reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.

Superhuman Senses: Tezcatlipoca's senses are about ten times as keen as an average human's, and about five times that of an average cat's. Tezcatlipoca's eyesight extends into the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. She has superhuman visual acuity. Her vertically slit pupils allow a greater range of vision above and below her, which allows her to more easily detect the movements of an opponent. Tezcatlipoca's hearing is sufficiently acute as to detect a sound pressure level change from 4 decibels to 6 dB at a range of 40 feet. With her highly developed sense of smell, she can selectively sort through various odors so as to follow a quarry's trail. She can detect subtle alterations in the composition of perspiration that reflect mood or emotions and is highly sensitive to pheromones.

Superhuman Speed: Tezcatlipoca can run and move at speeds superior to that of even the finest human athlete. Her powerful leg muscles and superhumanly strong bone composition enable her to reach speeds up to 600 miles per hour over short distances. Her fastest speed has not been clocked but she was fast enough to cut Deadrun when it was thought he was attacking a small village. She is currently listed as "The 6th Fastest Person on Earth".

Superhuman Stamina: Tezcatlipoca's advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. She can physically exert herself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before the buildup of fatigue toxins in her blood begins to impair her.

Superhuman Strength: Tezcatlipoca possesses superhuman strength sufficient to lift about 10 tons, enough force to deform a 1-inch-thick steel bar with ease. Her physical strength also extends, to a lesser degree, to her powerful leg muscles allowing her to perform a standing jump of 12 feet in height. Her strength is enough to be almost evenly matched with Jade.

Void Wind: Tezcatlipoca carries with her an obsidian medallion called the "Smoked Mirror" that is one of the seven hidden forces which makes her that much deadlier of an opponent to the mystical and almighty. Giving Tezcatlipoca the power to murder the magically divine. Including other avatars...or their gods.

Paraphernalia

Smoked Mirror: A disc of obsidian that appears cloudy when she is near other avatars or gods. The disc can be removed from her chest only by her, or upon her death. Once removed by her, the disc stretches to become a sword of pure obsidian and magical in nature, capable of killing other avatars...and their gods. The Smoked Mirror is also strong enough to clash with the twelve God-forged Swords scattered around the Earth. It is unknown who, or what, created the Smoked Mirror.

Weapons

Fangs and Claws: Tezcatlipoca's fangs and claws are extremely sharp and tough, enabling her to rend through a variety of substances including flesh, bone, wood, stone, and some types of metals.

Trivia

(Physical Features/Speaking Voice/Likely Vocabulary/Characteristics/Mannerisms)

Gender Disphoria: Greer Ballesteros is female, but when she assumes the role as Avatar of the Leopard god, she becomes male. This causes some confusion in her gender identity as she is not mentally or emotionally attracted to females, but her avatar form does cause her to become physically...attracted to females.
