➡(Skin) All Behemah have extremely tough skin, which is actually a little rough to the touch. It's possible to break it, but it takes multiple attempts in the same spot. Knives tend to dull by the time a Behemah's skin gets to that point, and it takes about 2-3 bullets in the same area to successfully puncture the surface (and that's not even going all the way through). Because Behemah possess a fearsome strength, they are the only things that can tear through each other's skin on the first try.
➡(Bones) A Behemah's bones are incredibly strong and sturdy. Again, it's possible to break them, but it takes incredible force to do so. An example would be if a human's femur was struck with a sledgehammer, it would most likely pulverize the bone. If a Behemah's femur was hit with a sledgehammer, it would give the bone a hairline fracture. This also carries over to their teeth and nails. A Behemah's bite can generate about the same force a tyrannosaur rex's could. Their nails can easily make scratch marks in rocky surfaces without damaging the nail or chipping it. These two things take a lot of control to not cause damage by accident.
➡(Organs) The natural weakness to a Behemah is their organs. The more diluted their bloodline (i.e. younger generations), the more issues they have. For Lukavi, it happens to be his weak heart. While he can still do a lot more activity than most humans, his heart will begin to flutter if he spends too much time expending himself. A good example would be running: Lukavi is quite capable of continuously sprinting a whole two miles. With his heart weakened, sprinting a whole mile and a half will cause him to be dangerously out of breath and dizzy, along with his heart beginning to palpitate to near heart attack levels. If he jogs a mile and half, he's fine. It's very possible for Lukavi to have a heart attack or a stroke, and die.
➧Healing: Lukavi is naturally able to heal faster than a human, but this only extends to outward injuries. Ex: If a knife managed to pierce his skin, his body would almost immediately heal the skin back to its natural state, but the vessels underneath would take longer and harsh bruising would take place from the bleeding taking place under the skin. If an organ was pierced, it will heal the same as a human's would, which is to say he would need medical attention.
➧Strength: Behemah are stronger than regular humans. It's very easy for a Behemah to accidentally crush things in their hands and it takes a lot of training for them to be able to completely stop. Since Lukavi hasn't known about his abilities for most of his life, he still exhibits some trouble controlling his strength.
➧Speed: Another innate ability Lukavi possesses is his above-average speed. When he was younger and healthier, Lukavi was able to sprint continuously for two miles before he became winded. Now he can sprint for about a mile before he becomes tired. His reaction time is also significantly faster than a human's, but it's not as if he can dodge everything.
➧Hand-To-Hand: Due to his training as an operative of the Supernatural Registration and Policing Department, he has had more experience in hand-to-hand combat. Most Behemah know only how to solely fight with their fists, leading them to adopt styles that are more along the lines of boxing. Lukavi knows how to use the entirety of his body as a weapon, which makes him one of the very few Behemah is disciplined in combat. The downside to his training is that unfortunately, due to his inability to control his strength at times, he cannot handle weaponry. He crushes the grips of guns and can't seem to get the hang of handling a knife beyond cutting something.
➧Leadership: Since he comes from a job where he has to handle teams of people at one time, Lukavi is a very capable leader. He is very adept at planning and strategics. He also knows how to balance different personality types well and can get people to work as a group, no matter how abrasive they are to each other.
