Teachers were more than eager to teach the youngest child of a prestige family—hell, even some of the students were intrigued. He was under a lot of pressure from his school and home life for two years with no healthy way to cope with the stress. It was a recipe for disaster that came to a head in the tenth grade. That was when Lucas Watson failed all of his AP classes in quick succession. And overnight, he became the black sheep to the teachers and students of Ritman High and a disgrace to his family and residents of Delton. Being the disappointment in the town and his family caused Lucas to isolate from the outside world. He became increasingly unconcerned about high school as he received average grades and often ditched classes to take smoking breaks. Then, towards summer break of the same year, rumors of his sexuality started spreading after some of the students found his dating profile on a popular gay dating app. His religious parents were furious and sent him away to a religious camp for that summer. Of course, that "vacation" did not help at all. On the contrary, it made Lucas more depressed and anxious than ever before. During senior year another rumor quickly spread across the school to make matters worse. "Lucas Watson is a school shooter in the making" was one of the messages shared on social media. Of course, it didn't help that Lucas began wearing long sleeves and jackets to school every day regardless of the weather. And his disregard for his wellbeing (tired eyes, cigarette smell, etc.) caused the school to interfere by having a police officer escort him to the principal's office. However, the school offered him free counseling for the remaining senior year instead of being punished. Lucas accepted their offer and found it to be surprisingly valuable despite his parents being against the idea. Regardless, the counseling made such that Lucas received his diploma along with his fellow classmates. After graduation, many students and teachers assumed that Lucas would remain in Delton with his parents. That all changed when he was last seen standing alone at the bus station with a suitcase in one hand and another holding an envelope—emotionless. He departed for Massachusetts, and nobody heard from him until his sudden arrival in town years later for the class reunion event. PSYCHE Despite being a target of ridicule for fellow students, Lucas always liked being around people and wanted to have an active social life. He considered some to be friends before he isolated himself in the tenth grade. Being a loner in his school and home was already hard enough on a teenage boy dealing with hormones. Counseling was a huge help to someone like Lucas, whose well-being significantly improved during senior year. Being kicked out and leaving Delton temporarily worsened his mental state. But, Boston was what he needed to truly be his better self with a stable work environment and a welcoming climate. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔One significant problem Lucas still struggled with was his clinginess on relationships—romantically and platonically. He rarely received genuine attention and love from others, resulting in him clutching onto moments whenever he did. Moving out of Delton and seeing a therapist certainly addressed the clinginess but did not outright resolve it. Yet, it also highlighted another issue. Lucas became afraid of opening up, given how much emotional baggage there was to unwrap upon his friends and significant other. He wanted to resolve it for good, and going back to Delton was the only option on the table supported by his therapist. |
POWER Shapeshifting is thought to be nothing more than fiction—used as a literary device for books and superhero movies. That was until Lucas inherited such supernatural ability. However, his power isn't precisely shapeshifting and instead a form known as metamorphosis or metamorph for short. It means that the subject can alter one's own physical appearance to match another with ease, much like Camilo Madrigal, Mystique, and Double Trouble to name a few metamorphers. And like them, Lucas can also mimic a person's voice, appearance, and personality to near perfection. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔But it all comes at a cost. Every usage of said powers is slowly but surely, purging the mind and its memories. The outcome will be a total cleanse of Lucas Watson and his personality replaced by a husk waiting to shift into the next person or worst. And all of this will occur without Lucas' knowledge or if he were to discover the fatal flaw, treatment. The world might witness the possible next evolutionary step for humanity or something else entirely unexplainable. | - ▼ STRENGTHS ► Lucas's powers grant him the ability to impersonate someone to perfection upon cogitation. As a result, he can easily shift into any gender, age, and appearance with ease. ► In addition, Lucas can easily mimic a person's personality, manners, speech, and expressions without much doubt upon unsuspected individuals. ► Lucas can also transfer into any clothing, tattoo, piercing, and scaring instantly. ▼ WEAKNESSES ► Lucas' powers do not grant him the target's powers, nor does his shapeshifted appearance last more than a week. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔► In addition, Lucas' form will disintegrate whenever he's unconscious, turning back to his original self. Subsequently, he can get overwhelmed if he's focused on multiple people. ► Usage of said powers can result in Lucas' skin turning into a bluish-gray color. Any more use will eventually lead to his mind being erased. |
