Black
Wild and unkempt (like an animal)
None
Blue probably (can change with animal transformations)
Latino
Fair
Normally somewhat muscular, but can change drastically depending on which animal power he accesses.
Whenever an animal power is accessed, certain mutations appear on different parts of his body.
(I.e Rhino horn + skin, Ape teeth/feet, Lizard scales + tongue, Bird wings)
Animal/Beast-like
After dedicating his life to helping animals in need, finding out the lab he has been working for has been secretly experimenting on and torturing the animals, he is motivated to break them free and live peacefully in nature with them, as well as protect all wildlife.
Can be too overprotective of animals, discovery about the lab has made him wary of and pessimistic about humans.
Often leads to conflicts with teammates.
Against humans lol
Incredibly intelligent, has studied for years to earn a doctorate in animal science and biology, and has extensive knowledge about human’s as well.
Spending time with his beastly companions in the wild mostly
Empathetic, but has a darker inner personality that comes out when he transforms and/or when animals are involved.
Phd in animal science and biology
He is above the idea of “owning” pets. The many animals who visit and/or live with him in his self-built cabin/hut in the jungle are simply willingly spending time there.
Partial Animal Shifting
Can access the abilities of any animal, when doing so different mutations accordingly appear on body.
Any superhuman-like animal abilities are accordingly proportional to his build + weight
Examples below
Accessing Gorilla allows superhuman strength as well as partially changed-more animalistic face
Accessing any ape (mainly goes for gorilla or chimpanzee) allows mutated feet for gripping and climbing
Obviously partial shape-shifting will always be somewhat less powerful than full shifting.
However not much of a problem as no other shape-shifters exist in his universe.
