Is getting a human body to look Na'vi possible?

1. The bioluminiscence (points...) comes from the organism and from the atmosphere's influence too, similar to the bioluminiscent environment. Even if we have bioluminiscent landscapes and fauna on Earth, it still would take hundreds of years to multiply them in their environment or for the atmosphere to change and make an impact on humanity or animals or the rest of the biosphere. The thing is that I would like some unique bioluminiscent points on me, they are so cool.

I'd say the easiest way to introduce it might be something like a bioluminescent bacteria or glow in the dark ink being tattooed into the skin. Bioluminescent bacteria could be produced by genetic engineering without too much problem, or for glow in the dark stuff, it all already exists, we just need a non-toxic one...

2. The tail could be something too, but as you say it need a lot of improvement to the nervous system and new muscles. Our body construction wouldn't permit a such intervention and we would also need a more advanced brain to accept other moving body parts.

Well, nobody is really sure, as it's never been done. I'd guess that if it was connected to the nervous system, people could control it, but it would probably require some learning. Movements becoming instinctual would happen with time as you get more used to it.

5. Yea, this "Tsahaylu" choice would be vvvvery difficult imo. The Na'Vis have that connected to their brain, and as you can notice (when Quaritch pulls Jake's avatar queue it hurts so as it hurts us when we get hit in the back of the head...) it is connected to the nerves and other vital functions. I really like when the Na'Vi meditate at the Tree of Souls, or when they unite for Jake to come into the avatar body forever... the power of their thoughts, their feelings is so deep and so unexplainable by science in a way we can't imagine

Good point, ma tsmukan.

It's certainly the least feasible out of them all
Which is annoying as it's one of the ones I really want... Tsahaylu must be like nothing else imaginable, it must be so amazing to be able to fully connect with another person.
