SPECIES

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

APPEARANCE alex is 6'3" with dark hair that just kind of does what it wants and hazel-green eyes. he looks kind of lanky but has deceptive muscles. he also has a resting bitch face and tends to look vaguely like he ate a lemon recently.

IDENTIFYING ASPECTS a few random tiny pale scars on his forearms ~~from a childhood of breaking glass~~

CLOTHING STYLE he wears black all day every day. overdresses all the time like a real leo, gonna wear a black button-up, black jeans, and combat boots for a whole ass trip to the beach. he also has a tendency to wear sunglasses, even when it's not sunny.

VOICE standard american accent, with light undertones of new england and brooklyn when drunk/over emotional

OLFACTORY cinnamon, leather, hint of smoke

LEVELS

❌ extrasensory perception alex can sense ghosts or otherworldly presences, but not much more than "must be a ghost in here." In short, he's able to walk into otherwise unfelt cold spots — although the feeling isn't specficially "cold", sometimes it can be a sense of heaviness, nausea, etc.

❌ psychic static as a side-effect of the wack-job on his memory, he's impervious to mind-reading. anyone who tries is met with physically painful psychic feedback. this does not make him impervious to mind control or anything of that nature, he's simply unreadable.

corporikinesis alex can manipulate the bodies of living things; essentially their physical well-being. skin-on-skin touch is required, and he needs physical awareness of what he's doing — e.g. being able to envision squeezing someone's heart vs. touching someone and going "hope your appendix explodes, wherever that is lol"
he can't change or alter something that isn't there, e.g. causing illnesses or anything like shapeshifting.
when he uses his powers in any capacity, he gets a "hangover" some hours later, usually in the form of a debilitating migraine.
he can heal, but it's much harder/energy-consuming (a similar principle to "it's easier to break something than to put it back together"). he also considers it worthless to heal himself unless it's a critical situation, because the trade-off usually isn't worth it.

❌ ➤ 1: can heal or inflict minor injuries. examples: minor lacerations, first-degree burns, things that heal quickly and easily on their own.
❌ ➤ 2: can heal or inflict moderate injuries. examples: minor fractures, moderate cuts, dehydration. things that may be painful or take longer to heal but can do so with little interference. can manipulate the nervous system to feel pain that isn't there or reduce pain.
❌ ➤ 3: can heal or inflict serious injuries. examples: broken bones. person is conscious and responsive, needs help but not in imminent danger. can manipulate the nervous system to cause temporary paralysis.
❌ ➤ 4: can heal or inflict acute injuries. examples: suffocation, heart attack, serious things that could cause the other party to lose consciousness (but not die as per nerfing, any harm stops as soon as they drop)

INVENTORY

swiss army knife
keys with a friendship-bracelet-looking attachment on the key loop — it's literally like the magic charm version of claritin for his severe dog allergy
a small first aid kit zip-up pouch with different prescription bottles and pill holders with varied amounts of medications for migraines/seizures/pain relief. (amounts: 14 valium; 15 topamax; 3 imitrex; 4 klonopin; 26 zofran; 22 dilaudid; 4 phenergan)

MANIFESTATION

NAME The Canid

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION the canid is a large, shadowy figure, humanoid but with the head of what is either a wolf or a fox. it shifts between the two, depending on the angle it's seen from. its "shadowy" nature means that it's pitch black, the lines and shape wavering to suggest intangibility. if actually close enough to touch, the darkness would feel like fur, but first... you would have to get close enough to touch. it also has a tail, puffy like a fox's.

the only color in the canid are the eyes, which glow a sickly golden color. when it bears its teeth, which are sharp fangs like a wolf or fox, they're bright white but stained with red against the dark. his hands end in claws that retract, but are the same white-stained red as the teeth when visible.

ATTACKS AND BEHAVIOR the canid is most interested in turning its target — mainly alex, but any other player character on the off-chance they get too physically close — against either other characters. because alex thinks he's a danger to everyone, anyone in alex's vicinity is a potential target.

if caught making eye contact with the canid for longer than a second, the target can be persuaded to turn on anyone in its vicinity and fight them. no weapons or powers, just the urge to full-on street brawl. (this is opt-in, dependent on the action in the thread of course)

and if you can attack the canid without looking in its eyes, it fights like a feral animal with teeth and claws. getting close enough to it to deal melee damage can also make the target's skin itch and breathing become strained.
