ROBIN OLIVER MCKENZIE [ Age: 28  || Sex: Male || Orientation: Asexual || D.O.B: 1985, January 03 ] REGISTERED: "GRIM" mannerisms ☑ Loyal ☑ Patient ☑ Thoughtful ☑ Analytical ☑ Respectful ☒ Lazy ☒ Hateful ☒ Opportunistic ☒ Slow ☒ Humorless preferences ☑ The Ocean ☑ Motorcycles ☑ Graphic Novels ☒ Humans ☒ Beef ☒ The exploitation of niché cultural traits. Registered Ability Chimeric Morphology Robin possess the power of Chimeric Morphology; this allows him to alter his form, physical attributes or capabilities at any point in time to those of any animal in the universe past or present (i.e. Both modern mammals and ancient dinosaurs.) This is performed by tapping into his own genetic material and accessing a deeply buried gene sequence hidden within the furthest darkest reaches of his DNA; government agencies refer to this sequence as the "Cambrian Helix" by accessing the Helix he can rapidly evolve and de-evolve any component or if need be the whole of his body to match the genetic template of various creatures even being capable of enhancing a creature's standard biological capacity. He is also able to manipulate the Cambrian Helix within other people or animals through direct skin to skin touch and may do so to any extent he desires typically resulting in the creature or "Chimera's" intellect being vastly degraded to that of a beast; his ability to manipulate the genetic structure of others is limited by their will power and the stability of their genetic structure; meaning Grim and Grim who never awakened their abilities are the most vulnerable to this power. His capacity to manipulate the genetic structure of others matches his ability to manipulate his own Cambrian Helix. He may only draw on animals whose existence he knows about and is limited by his own ability to visualize the end product of any transformation as such he can not take the form of a creature if even though he knows it's name of "stats"; he does not know what it looks like. His Chimeric morphology is limited by his physical stamina and fitness, meaning he must be at peak levels of physical fitness at all times or else his ability to draw on the power of multiple animals will be dampened or reduced; if he becomes wounded heavily enough or loses sufficient stamina it may become extremely difficult if not impossible to take the form or powers of other creatures. Level I At this stage he becomes subject to Animal Mimicry; Animal Mimicry enables him to take on the powers and attributes of other animals including but not limited to: Level II at this level Robin develops the capacity for Animal Morphing he may trans form his body completely into another animal or may transform specific portions of his body into an animal though as this level he is restricted to only a single animal "morph" at a time; these transformations include but are not limited to: Level III at the upper most level of his power he may perform a true Chimeric Morph he becomes capable of fusing multiple animal morphs together to create a new tremendously more powerful form however must sacrifice his intelligence to do so becoming an instinct driven barbarian. In exchange for the tremendous levels of power he obtains which includes such greatly augmented powers as: Once transforming into his Chimera Morph state he becomes subject to "scarring" every time he leaves the stat he brings a little more with it making it increasingly difficult to blend in amongst non-Grim. His current scars have left him with a frog-like appearance; in addition to the "scarring" effect his IQ reduces by approximately 2 Points after every use (He currently has an IQ of 138). bio Robin Oliver McKenzie or as he liked to be called "Rob" was born just off the coast of Scotland during the 1980's on the Shetland Isles. He was born the son of two pro-human soldiers who left him in the care of his elderly grandmother while they went off to fight the war ; little did any of them know he was born a Grim. He grew hiding his powers until one day he let his powers slip while playing with some of the neighbourhood children when they needed a monster for their game he used his burgeoning powers to mutate his friends older Sister into a hawk-like monster. When he refused to change her back stating she was "prettier" this way  the kids ran to tell their parents of course it wasn't long before a mob formed. Taking his creation as his guardian he fled the scene and disappeared into obscurity for decades while his power levels normalised and became refined. Recently he has reappeared as a key player in a pro-Grim organisation who seek to over throw the UN and the Human governments of the world as such he has been marked as a hostile target. One Month ago he was successfully lured to New Hope Island where he was to be detained for the foreseeable future in order to be kept in order and under surveilence until such a time as the UN has determined his threat as a political figure has ended, misc. While the UN's agents have attempted to keep control of Robin several of his mutated "chimeras" have been spotted across the New Hope intiative and several have already been linked with the disappearance of members of the UN's research and military staff though a direct link between him and the emergence of the Chimera has yet to be revealed meaning that the UN is currently unable to take direct action short of increasing surveilance on the young rogue. He is able to communicate with animals in some way as a result of his powers though does so more through the tele-empathic transmission of "feelings" over the use of some common language for example when an animal tells him the location of a part of  forest he is trying to reach rather than having directions such as "Turn left at the tree, go forward 100 KM" he instead obtains a six sense like feeling of how to reach the place he wants to get to. He is often accompanied by animal companions of various kinds depending on where he is currently located or who is engaged with, he has also been seen in the company of his Chimera and is believed to have a nest or den of them located somewhere on New Hope. ooc info user: BlendingTwin contact preference: PM other characters: None

Hey there!

[/a]before it can be approved. If you need help working around the codes to find where you place things don't be afraid to ask. ^^

The link for the template is here. Try and copy paste again.[/ul]

Okay fixed template and as per the discussion in Chatbox here are a couple of different tech types I'm thinking of, baring in mind all of them are taken from stolen Alien technology so it's somewhat more advanced than millitary technology used in the current timeline.

[*]Option 1: A bionic arm; the arm's consistent powers are enhanced strength (User may lift up to 700 pounds without fatigue) as well as superior stamina in the arm. The arm's durability is render's it unharmed by most modern day weapon save for large yield weaponry. It additionally possess one of the following powers
[*]Option A: The arm may shape shift turning from a hand to a sword or a shield or a gun etc. Additionally the arm may automatically repair itself by "absorbing" metallic compounds within the area so that no matter how damaged it becomes aslong as there is metal nearby it can restore itself in an extremely short space of time.
[*]Option B: The arm has limited Pyro-kinetic abilities and is able to generate across it's surface; up to 9000 degrees Celsius of raw heat as well as reducing it's temperature to well below absoloute zero, shielding the user from the rapid change in heat.
[*]Option C: The arm can release large doses of voltage up comparable with a lightning bolt and may release them an unspecified distance to the nearest conductive target.
[*]Option D: The arm can release any form of radiation found within the known spectrum in the form of a gaseous vapour. The user is shielded fvrom the effects of known radiations by the arm.
[*]Option E: Using the arm the user may modify the atomic structure of objects they touch transforming water into concrete or turning Lead into Gold, though is limited by the users own scientific knowledge of the structure of atomic matter.

Or Alien Tech 2:

[*]Option 2: This takes the form of a nano-weave suite constructed using alien knowledge of the way in which radiation permeates matter, the suite renders the user safe from all forms of radiation including heat, light and gama. This combines with an alien weapon that enables the user to release Radioactive matter as well as irradiate any objects around them using fore-arm mounted dispensers and a large rock launcher like tube weapon.

Or 3:

[*]Option 3: The user possess a bionic eye created using Alien technology, this eye is capable of seeing in all fields visible under the electromagnetic spectrum (Infrared, X-ray, Heat) as well as discharging and absorbing energy through the eye, the limitations of which are unknown but is limited to only absorbing energy signatures found within the EMS.

The abilities play into it being exotic devices; these aren't exactly government sanctioned. Alligned with a small and aggressive activist group they use some of the "dirty knowledge" they've acquired over the years to obtain access to research facilities and so the character uses technology not currently associated with any known or publicly documented organisation as such they possess some powers so far I'm leaning to reshaping/reconstitution or some form of magnetic property though it crosses a border with Grim I suppose the term

"Machines that seem like magic"

Fits here, the arm or eye depending on what I go for would be classed as illegal making my characetr share similar status with an unregistered Grim though of course he attacks Grim rather than works with them.

Okay completed and ready to go to approvals

[/quote]- If I understand this correctly, he can manipulate the evolution of other creatures? If that's the case then this is a no, but it wasn't mentioned in the levels so I'm a bit confused where it plays in.

- Level two is where you mention that he can take on multiple animalistic traits at once, you said that he could only take on one form but if I'm not wrong you forgot to specify how many traits he could use at once?

- For level three, I was curious if by saying as many forms as he wants, that these forms he morphs into are complete transformations. If that's the case you should mention that. Or can he only morph parts of his body? You specified parts in level two, but I'm unsure if it's the same in level three

- As an overall question I wanted to ask, can he take on traits of animals that he hasn't heard of or seen in the universe? Or does he just innately know. That should be another limitation you could add in the description if that's the case.

ONE LAST THING! In the history you say that he was captured and taken to New Hope. The only reason this would be is if they were using him as testing research in the lab on the UN base, which is unlikely since they have plenty of grim working for them already. The grim that live on the island now volunteer willingly for the most part. Even if he was pro-grim you could use that as a reason for him to want to volunteer, so maybe he can prove that living in coexistence with humans is impossible; rather then saying he was taken forcibly.

1. That Power mentioned there is sort of a Background power; there are references mentioned to it in his history and UN reports on the Grim (which I'm assuming our character sheets are) though it's origin and how he does it aren't clear though it'll be revealed in later RP that it was the result of him loosing control of his powers. During the course of RP he himself won't be shown using it but it's something he's believed to have similar to how many Comic Book characters display mysterious abilities that are never shown after a single use or whose origins are never elaborated on.

Tl;dr He was able to that as he experimented with his powers but it's a side effect of when he looses control of his abilities.

2. He can take on multiple traits since they basically just boost his bodies own physical qualities or give him minor additional abilities but because they're only slight boosts from the Human norm they didn't really need a limit outside of his stamina (post count) limit.

3. In part three he can morph multiple single or full body parts so something like this In this form he can potentially draw on all animals at once but he has an issue with control over level three so he avoids it's useage when possible.

4. He only draws on animals he knows about but if he becomes aware of something even if only vaguely aware of it he can use his powers to obtain it's capabilities and powers. I'll add to limits.

5. He was classed as a dangerous individual but his connections with a pro-Grim group caused him to be highly political so the UN has him placed under surveillance on New Hope under the illusion of being invited to be part of the project and represent the interests of the Grim. He's vaguely aware he was tricked into going there to be kept under control but knows that his position is difficult as well as any direct action against the UN could have him branded a violent terrorist.

I can understand the need to quantify a level but I understood the levels to be less progression or power evoloution based and more refer to the user's ability to draw on their mutagenic adaptation/Grim Power so

Level 1 - Skimming the surface of their power; they draw the smallest amount of their ability out and conversely it is the weakest form of their power but has the added benefit of having the fewest/least exploitable/weakest (insert similar permutations) limitation(s)

Level 2 - Draws more deeply on their power causing more powerful or elaborate effects to occur and forms the stable Mid-point of their powers possessing moderate levels of strength and moderate limitations; it forms the center point or "standard" form of their abilities i.e. their "Base Form"

Level 3 - Draws most deeply on their mutations/grim powers possessing both the greatest and most elaborate of a Grim's individual abilities but also the greatest limitations however forms what could be called their "Burst" form or "100% Full Power" mode in which drawing out all their power for a short amount of time (or whatever other rule you've placed on an individuals level 3) the Grim is capable of near legendary feats of power.

Based on this interpretation of the somewhat vague "Levels" concept (We haven't got any further details or directions on what levels actually represent; i.e. as described above the amount of power exerted or the natural evoloutionary progression of an individuals powers) his ability to manipulate other peoples evoloution doesn't belong on any level since it's actually a side effect of when he loses control of his power so can be treated as either

A) Always subject to Level 3 Limitations and Regulations
or B) Depending on how another beings body is altered it becomes subject to the different levels where apropriate/relevant

Though since his loss of control will rarely occur directly in player vs player combat or unless surving as a pre-planned plot point before a battle where the power fits and what it's limitations are is best left to the situation. Long story short, while it's listed under his power you don't really need to worry about how it functions or interacts with others as the power won't be something the other players have to deal with.
