Hope this s'alright.
Name: Jean Stein
Age: 26
Physical Description: 6’1 and 170lb, he’s got a thin but wiry build and has aged well. Deep azure eyes give no sign of Jean’s status as a Shifter, looking purely human for the most part. His blonde hair reaches his waist if left to hang free, but he usually keeps it tied up in a ponytail. Jean is one of the Shapers that is indistinguishable from a normal human, for the most part. When his abilities are used extensively, signs of his reptilian nature begin to appear. His pupils shift into slits while his skin, starting at the hands, take on a more scale-like appearance and texture. For this reason, Jean can almost always be found wearing gloves and fake contacts.
Animal type: Komodo Dragon
Abilities: Despite lacking the ability to shift into the form of his animal, Jean boasts a number of abilities. He’s far more physically capable than even his athletic frame would suggest, and quite capable of fighting above his weight class. Enduring and eager to return whatever punishment he receives, Jean lives up to the Komodo’s reputation. He also comes with natural weapons as his nails are more akin to claws, ripping through flesh quite readily. His saliva doubles as a venom, being capable of incapacitation or paralyzation, or death with time and heavy dosage. His already hardy constitution is bolstered by a minor regenerative factor; while he won’t regrow an amputated limb, he heals from minor injuries at an accelerated rate.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Background: Don’t let the pretty boy appearance fool you. Jean, or one side of him at the least, embodies the stories bigoted parents tell their children to turn them against Shifters. His various stints have included being a participant in an underground ring and an enforcer for various criminal organizations. He’s never crossed the line of actually murdering someone, but he’s toed the line a few times and done plenty of nasty things to keep his “freedom”. After all, his employers look after their own, even if they aren’t their “kind”. A lot more than he can say for the government.
There’s not much to say about Jean’s childhood. He was lucky enough that his abnormalities didn’t manifest until his later years. Even if his parents had been fairly neutral on the whole issue, the government’s increasing influence forced them to take action. Between giving their son to whatever tests the facilities had planned or pushing him onto the street and supporting him from the sidelines, the choices were both awful. They could only go for the lesser of two evils and though Jean had been enraged, he had never truly hated them. Never could since they tried their best.
Nowadays though, work has been coming in less often. He’s been in contact less with other members, and it seems like this run is coming to an end. With the military showing its might and moving in, it looks like it might be time for Jean to relocate, lest he be caught. The organization sending members after him would be the least of his concerns; there was always a sort of understanding that existed. Loyalty paled to freedom in the end after all.
