hello! i have a question about non-human characteristics. kisame here is human, but he has some shark-like traits (skin color, sharp teeth, facial markings, functional gills on his shoulders). these characteristics are never actually explained because naruto as a series kinda sucks at world building. (i think the sequel, boruto, implies that those traits are related to his clan? but it's all very ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, he just Looks Like A Shark.)

anyway!! since kisame is just an odd-looking human, i was wondering if he'd be able to keep those traits in game or if he'd need to look like a regular joe for his first month. i figure his gills would lose their functionality, but the rest is all cosmetic and doesn't give him any inhuman abilities.

(apologies if this has been answered already!)
