Character Name: Vincent Sinclair
Age: 19
House: Fire
Mythological Creature: Shapeshifter
Myth behind the creature: cool link
Appearance: Being a shapeshifter, Vincent can appear however he wants, but he usually looks like this: .

He's somewhat short (5'5") and lithely built (140 lbs) for a male, but strong and stubborn, meaning he doesn't go down without a fight. Easy to confuse for a lady from the back, if he's doing the whole long-haired thing that day. Pale ivory skin, striking cornflower blue eyes, full lips, and a youthful, baby-face, he's almost the definition of androgyny and might not even correct someone right away, should they refer to him as 'female.' (He's a trickster like that.) His ears are pierced multiple times, the lip ring is technically a labret piercing (worked with what i had), he's got a bananabell through his right eyebrow, a hoop through the left side of his nose, and his tongue and belly-button are pierced. (my excuse for his multitude of tattoos is that he was young and made dumb mistakes lmao)

(as time progresses, there are chances of people getting to see his true form, though. [these are the closest things i could find of what said appearance looks like, although the black skin and 'scales' as it were spread all across his body and both of his eyes turn that reddish orange color.])
Abilities:
Adaptive Appearance: Transform based on adaptations.
Biomorphing: Transform into living things.
Doppelgänger Morphing: Take the appearance of other beings.
Gender Transformation: Alter one's gender.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Shape one's body/cells to their optimal state, healing rapidly from any physical injury, and even maintain eternal youth.
Species-Shifting: Transform into different species. Main things are: a black wolf, snow leopard, and a peregrine falcon.
Enhanced abilities: (Strength, speed, sight, reflexes, etc) Obviously more amplified than the average human, even when not in an animal form.

there's a huge list, but i chose the ones he's more likely to use. (he's also skilled in freerunning/parkour and tai chi)
