Kukomi

Kukomi did not seek a power that could rival the gods. They only wanted to save a friend. At The Dojo, they were known for mending the gardens, their healing arts reserved for sparring scrapes and splinters. But when a cursed blade afflicted their closest companion with an incurable blight, Kukomi risked everything. They performed a forbidden rite, reaching past the spirits to touch the raw essence of life itself. The ritual worked. In a flash of light that some say was felt even by Kami, their friend was made whole. But the cost was Kukomi's own connection to the world. Their evolution granted them immense power but stripped away their ability to feel warmth or taste food. They can mend a broken mountain but can no longer share a simple meal, a vessel of life who cannot truly live.
