ANIMAL MORPHING the ability to transform into animals and possess the special abilities of animals
STRENGTHS
Animal Communication: Minseok learning that he could communicate with animals was about as natural as it was for him to learn English and Korean. He didn’t think it was strange until a group of people stared at him in amazement when he was having a conversation with a common snake (in which he asked the snake if he ever heard of a book called The Little Prince. He was curious if it knew of its motives in the story). Intelligent: Minseok’s parents are travelers; his father is a zoologist and his mother is a doctor. His father gets employed by different companies around the world after it was infamously spread around that his father was also an animal whisperer. Minseok has been home schooled because of how often they travel, but he’s learned a lot from books, novels and medical books alike, and hands-on training from his parents. Eidetic Memory: Once his parents learned about his mutation’s capabilities, they did what they could in their power to progress it and maybe sometimes risked his life within reason. Minseok’s power can only work if he’s been in close contact with the animal to be able to study and remember it diligently. He’s done things such as climb trees to play with the monkeys and cuddled with the cubs in a lion’s den. He grew up being in contact with at least 100 different species but there are definitely a handful he rather prefers to change into. Adaptable: Because of the variety of animals he knows, he’s learning how to apply each animal to his needs. When he’s hungry, he turns into a wolf or lion to hunt. If he’s in a hurry to send a message, such as if an animal is in trouble and needs help, he takes to the skies as an eagle. The threat he’s most concerned about are poachers, seeing as he might be hunted too when he’s in animal form. Despite his young age, he’s been very good at preventing them and fighting them off.
WEAKNESSES
Selective Mutism: Being around animals and mainly his family has made his social skills underdeveloped. For people he’s not familiar with, the most that the lucky ones would get from him is a simple sentence addressed towards them. It has been something he’s struggled with since his youth. Back in his adolescent days, if there wasn’t an animal with him, then he felt like he could never talk to others. To this day, he would take his blue Parakeet named Lena wherever he can so it can talk for him instead. Insecurity: He wonders how helpful he’d be to other people if he didn’t have his power. Being in the academy makes him question his worth as a human and, because of his homeschooling, wonder if he’ll be able to assimilate into mainstream society. Gullible: The only people he knew how to share generously with were his parents. Animal instincts taught him to take what he needed and always follow the ones in a higher ranking. It was never questioned; always told to respect the ones above him and that goes for anyone who seniors him. Although, animal instincts have also taught him how to sense when a situation gets dangerous. Susceptible: Depending on the size of the animal, shapeshifting can take up to a minute to achieve. In his animal form, his sensitivity is heightened like the animal’s. Something can cause him to writhe on the ground in pain when the human ear can’t hear it at all. He can smell a scent kilometers away as long as there isn’t another overwhelming one closer to him. Learning the ways of the animals was good enough to learn how to hunt and survive. If something catches his attention, his entire focus is on that and any distractions will render an irritated Minseok.
