Code Name: Chimera

Real Name: Drake Marble

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Race: He's an all-American mutt, with Indian, Native American, Irish, German, Mexican, and pretty much anything else you could think of, but he comes from America.

Powers: Drake is a shapeshifter, but strangely enough he can't use his powers correctly. Instead of simply being able to turn into something or someone at will, for some reason he simply can't do it. Instead, he must observe an animal or person he wants to turn into for almost hours at a time in order to perform the shift, so instead of simply trying to master several forms he's only mastered one, something which he calls the "Chimera".  The Chimera is a massive beast almost the size of an elephant, and is a mix of the most deadly creatures in the world. It has the head and claws of a wolf, wings of a giant bat, the tail of a lemur, the horns of a rhinoceros, and a scorpions barb on the end of its tail. Drake is always trying to find room for improvement on this form, always researching animals to make it more effective in battle. As the Chimera he has incredible strength and speed, as well as the ability to hear and smell things from miles away. His wings allow him to fly for large distances, and even carry others with him at times.

Origins/History: Drake came from a very normal, ordinary family with only one exception: his parents were both 'gifted'. His father was a shapeshifter, his mother had the ability to neutralize or negate most powers through genetic telekinesis. They assumed, given his mothers powers, that Drake would be a normal boy with no need to worry about things such as powers... They were greatly mistaken. Instead, what they got was a boy who's powers were absolutely out of control from a young age. He was completely unable to control his shifting, turning into the randomest animals at the most unpredictable times. So, Drakes mother used her powers in an attempt to permanently negate her sons abilities, and this did work... To an extent. Now Drake has to struggle in order to shift into something, sometimes to the point where it hurts, and his out of control powers did have a lasting effect on him. To this day his ears are permanently trapped in the form of a wolf, causing him to be highly sensitive to sound at times, as well as his hands always having the retractable claws of a cat. However he reuses to simply let his gift go to waste. Instead, ignoring his parents warnings, he set off to go use his strange power to help people, and to protect them... So far it hasn't been working that well for him however. He joined the MetaOps after another failed attempt to help someone, this time a woman being mugged. He had saved her of course, but at the very sight of the terrifying creature she had screamed and ran. This , a lot with several other incidents, caused the government to become involved and to attempt to detain him. However, they found the boy was extremely reasonable and willing to go without question. Soon enough, he was recruited to join the team with the promise hat he could use his powers to do the most good.

Personality: Drake is a fun , easy going, and caring guy. Despite his power being truly terrifying and the stuff of nightmares, all he wants to do is help his friends and protect them, even at the cost of his own physical harm.
