Morgan


User Image

Name: Morgan
Gender: Male
Species: Nu Mou

Personality: Morgan is a naturally curious child, he wants to understand the world around them, how it works, how big it is and what's out there in it. This makes him adventurous becuase Morgan prefers to learn by doing, going places, touching things and the like. He is independent and tries hard to find answers without having to resort to asking others for help. Having discovered anything he considers new however Morgan is more than willing to share the knowledge with others as long as he get some form of credit or recognition for sharing.

Morgan isn't really fond of rules since they make it hard to do things the way they want to; thus he will try a find way to twist or avoid them whenever possible. Breaking rules outright comes with consequences so Morgan tries not to do that unless he has to. Nevertheless this disregard for the rules tends to get him into trouble.

Fear is for other people, Morgan has no time for tiptoeing around bugs or freezing in the dark when exploring. Water is an exception to this, as a Nu Mou Morgan will go out of their way to avoid the substance as much as possible and being caught in the rain is cause for panic. Early attempts at baths will result in loud hysterical fits of fear.

A lack of fear can and will lead to more than one accident until Morgan learns that fear and caution are not the same thing and both are useful in their own rights.

Animals are a great source of amusement and curiosity for Morgan becuase they act so very different from humans.While the child still prefers human/humanoid company, he does like to watch and follow animals around to try to understand them.

For all that Morgan loves exploring his body is not made for extended strenuous activity and one can often fine the child parked just about anywhere taking a breather.

Likes: Animals, music, Storybooks, traveling.
Dislikes: Water, staying still.

Abilities:
~ Animal control: Morgan can compel animals to do what he wants them to through a magical mental link. To make this work he must first create eye contact with the animal in question. Resistance is always a factor and Morgan can lose control of the animal at any time if the natural mind resists enough or a stronger force interrupts the process. The more intelligent an animal is the harder it is to force control but the easier it is to give commands that they creature will understand. Morgan is fully capable of breaking eye contact after the initial link is made and can move freely and do other things while the animal under control is also active. However they must maintain some mental focus on the creature's mind or risk losing control.

* Ability is always active but only really useful or successful as Morgan ages and is capable of understanding it and having the focus required to use it effectively. Aka as a toddler the chances of them successfully compelling any animal to do anything are small becuase he wouldn't have a clue what he was doing or the mental ability to overpower any but the weakest minds.

* Morgan can make a dog do something but not an anthro dog person, however even an extremely intelligent sentient dragon( that is not humanoid in some form) counts as an animal and could attempt to control them though likely without much success.

** Abilities based somewhat on the Nu Mou beastmaster job in FFTA

Skylar


User Image

Name: Skylar
Gender: Male
Species: Nu mou

Personality:

Skylar is a person who lives very much in the now. He focuses on immediately obtainable goals and is usually only concerned with consequences that take place soon after an action has occurred. In some ways this is good becuase it prevents him from dwelling on things too long and getting worked up about them. On the flipside he doesn't tend to think into the future much or plan ahead which can cause trouble. Still, Skylar is happiest when living for the moment and until he has to live otherwise not much is expected to change.

Skylar is very much an observant child watching people and animals body language learning what various movements and expressions mean. They are more than capable of talking but are fascinated by this silent language and try to mimic it as much as possible. As a toddler this means walking with people and relying more on facial expressions and tone of voice than the words they use. With animals this means crawling on all fours and copying their signals of dominance and submissions like head
head high or low, making or avoiding eye contact.* As he grows this study of body language and mimicry will become important both with animals and humanoids.

Like Morgan, Skylar loves animals, however he/she prefers them to people becuase they have mastered the art of surviving on body language alone which they find fascinating..local wildlife should expect to by stalked by this little one as they try to integrate themselves into the flock, warren, or pack.


Likes:
Animals
Dislikes: Water
Abilities:



~ Animal shapeshift: Skylar can transform fully or partially into any animal they come into physical contact with.This process based on a touch based sort of magical imprinting allows Skylar to use any special attribute of the creature he is transformed into aka a snake's heat vision or dragon's fire breath. However Skylar lacks the animal's natural instincts and will have to figure out how these new bodies move and function through trial and error.

Transformed Skylar has the animals strengths and it's weaknesses. However, even as water loving creature Skylar will not approach the substance as his Nu mou instincts about it are overpowering. When hurt to a certain degree Skylar will automatically revert back to his natural form. The threshold for this auto-change depends on Skylar's age and skill level at the time. Partial transformations such as just an animals eyes or claws is an advanced form of this skill and will not be possible until Skylar is at least a teen and has completed a special IC quest.

* Ability is always active but nearly unusable until Skylar learns that they have it. This means Skylar could touch a camel at the zoo as a toddler but could not become it becuase they weren't actively attempting to gain the genetic imprint and thus did not absorb it. Transformation also takes effort and focus to complete successfully which will only improve with age and practice.

Skylar can absorb an animal's DNA without consciously trying to as long as he is thinking hard about being said animal while in contact with it. Just touching an animal and randomly thinking it'd be cool to be one is not sufficient however.


*Animals Skylar can become do not include humans, anthro's or centuars etc.
* Skylar can only use special animal attributes when transformed.
** Abilites based somewhat on the Nu mou Morpher job in FFTA

Nu Mou


Info from FFwiki

The Nu Mou are species unique to the land of Ivalice, they are dog-like in appearance, being very squat with elongated faces and tails. Other than that, not much is known about the Nu Mou, as they are a very reserved race, preferring to stay quiet in many situations. The Nu Mou excel in magic, since their small bodies restrict their physical abilities. However, when magic won't do, they can also call on the abilities of monsters to help.

" Even-tempered and thoughtful, they possess the capacity for great intellect. Like moogles, they shun water and avoid it to all cost. Though ill-suited for the front lines of battle, they make incomparable mages and weavers of magick."
~
personal extrapolation

Nu mou are typically depicted with grey or brown skin in game manual art, orange fur on their tails and white hair on their heads. In two np'cs white skin and green skin have been see, . In game skin appears to be a light green on general units. Orange tail hair is found on all Nu mou regardless of skin colour, white hair on all but Babus who is bald and Ezel who has hair with a greener tint. It is presumed then that nu mou come in a variety of colours with certain characteristics being constant.

Nu mou have a natural split in their ears that they all appear to place an item inside , whether this is religious or cultural is unknown. Since the split is much larger then the item usually placed in it it is unlikely that it is required for keeping it open.
