Name: Ahote Masou (anglicized to Adam)
Position: Ally and resident misanthrope
Height: 6’1”<br>
Weight: 190 Lbs.
Birth Place: Unknown
Race: Maryuudo
DOB: Sep. 12th, year unknown
Sign: Virgo
Eye color: Gray
Hair color: Dark Brown
Likes: Classical music, animals, outdoors, meditation, hunting, long walks
Dislikes: People, unecessary disruption of the peace, loudness, gossip, eggrolls.
Abilities: He naturally attracts bestial companionship, and he can understand their conversation as easily as spoken English. Also posessed the ability to "transform", or mimic a learned skill from another animal with his own body. With that, he can assume the abilities of any of one hundred different animals, from the fangs and speed of a cat, to the strength of a wolf, to the supersonic hearing range of a bat. Physical change is not uncommon, such as growing claws and fangs, but such transformations usually require much strain on his body when sustained for too long. He cannot take on more than one transformation at a time. There is also reports of some ability for electrical manipulation, but if it is present, it is very minor and most likely a side effect of his supernatural attunment to the earthly world.
Frequently Used Transformations:
Tiger (claws, fangs, speed enhancement)
Wolf (fangs, strength enhancement)
Bat (blindness, sonar abilities)
Land Dragon (ability to move underground)
Cat (agility enhancement, hearing enhancement)
Shark (ability to breath underwater)
Ape (massive strength enhancement)
Also possesses the unique ability of the Soqua, a oneness with the harmony of nature which with proper concentration allows him to be privvy to the currents an vibrations of the very lifebreath of the world, much like a druid or a magic practicioner would have.
There are, as with all gifts, side effects from this great power. Every time Adam mimics an animal something of a little exchange is made and he becomes more like that creature in manner for a short time. For example, when he mimics a bat, for up to an hour after he retransforms he might be rendered blind, or at least near it. Some traits have stuck with him. He is unnaturally fast, unnaturally strong, has certainly less than perfect eyesight, but his hearing and smell are superb, his night vision better than normal. The worst curse, however, is the bloodlust. Animals are attracted to blood. The smell of it, for carnivores, means free, fresh food. Adam can smell blood if the angle is right and has a hard time keeping down the beast's instinct that says to follow through with the kill, though to date he has never let it get the best of him.
Distinguishing Marks: A stab scar with a black tinge on his (front) right shoulder, a long facial scar, a result of Cardinal Spider venom, a tattoo of a tree with deep set roots wreathed in flame on his right shoulder blade/spine.
Brief History: Adam was born a full blooded Maryuudo, one of two tribes that are actually native to Ayenee and have kept themselves pure since the days before the first coming of foreigners. They hailed from the East of the realm in four tribes- the Tribe of Air, the Tribe of Water, the Tribe of Fire and the Tribe of Earth. Adam is from the Tribe of Fire, in fact, the last living member and a full blooded Maryuudo. Adam was considered by his people to be a child prodigy, learning and mastering their skills all by the age of 10. When he was a child his village was destroyed by the neighboring Tribe of the Kiryuudo, also a group native to Ayenee's eastern stretches who bear proudly the skills of insect mastery. His village and people gone, he ran as far as he could and then wandered aimlessly for many years. Upon his arrival in South Ayenee he took up in the forboding and rarely trod in Western Wood, so named as it is to the West of the kingdom of Lucemedia. A devilsh place of huge proportions and a bad reputation, he soon became the ruler of it as there were no humans abound in it- only animals. He resides there now with his two closest friends, a bengal tiger and a red tailed hawk. Little did he know that the Kiryuudo had managed to track him down and built an outpost at the Eastern border. In an ambush attack he was able to destroy the better part of the small shanty town, killing four of the Kiryuudo Seven that had followed him, but just for safety's sake moved to the West of the forest to prepare for when the Kiryuudo would return for their revenge.
