It's probably a little out there, but I wanted to really embrace the world and create a Mimic. It's based on my own experience with what Mimics are, however, so if something doesn't jive with your world's version please tell me. Of course, it is a mutant, so there might be some differences.
Name: Mimi
Gender: Genderless, but takes a female form
Age: 4
Race: Mutant Mimic
Character Concept: Organic Mimic
Physical Appearance: Mimi, in her default form, is a horrific amorphous mass of sticky pinkish goop that looks much like a gigantic amoeba. Her default form, however, is quite different from the one she takes most often. Normally, she looks much like a human girl in her mid-teens of average height and weight. She has long, straight black hair and emerald green eyes, and her skin is lightly tanned. She wears a set of dark robes with green outlines that look like landmasses.
Equipment: Robes, a diary, ink and a quill, backpack
Personality: Some of the first words that come to mind when one thinks of Mimi are ‘strange’ and ‘awkward’. Because she is largely unfamiliar with humanoid customs and society, she tends to do things most consider ‘odd’ often. What she has learned, however, was from a kind woman and thus she emulates kindness as well as she can. She takes joy in helping people, and likes to learn more than almost anything else. There is an inherent eagerness to her personality that pervades everything she does. Well, eagerness as well as a profound naivety.
Goals: Mimi wants very much to learn, both about humanoids and about her own Mimic roots. She also wishes to someday fit in to humanoid society. Her greatest goal, however, is to be able to communicate with the World Mimic.
Background: Due to a profoundly rare and strange mutation, Mimi was born an ‘Organic Mimic’, which is to say that she mimics living beings rather than environmental items or materials. One day, after having mimicked many different creatures, she saw something strange that she had never seen before. A Human crossed her path, and Mimi mimicked her. The woman was incredibly confused and defensive at first, but curiously observed the thing that appeared as a smaller version of herself before making any judgements. After a little observation, it seemed like Mimi meant no harm. If anything, the creature seemed almost defenseless. The woman ended up taking Mimi with her, and taught the Mimic all sorts of things that she absorbed like a sponge. Eventually, they worked out what Mimi was, which opened up all sorts of ideas. Were there others besides her? What did this mean for Mimics? What implications could be made about the world? Mimi had to learn more about Mimics, and about herself. To this end, Mimi left on her own journey which the woman endorsed by giving her a home-made cloak to keep warm. It was embroidered with outlines of landmasses, based on Mimi’s idea that the entire world was just a very big Mimic and that she was born to give the World Mimic a form that could explore things like a humanoid, because it was also curious just like her.
Racial Traits: As an Organic Mimic, Mimi can perfectly mimic the forms of similarly-sized animals. She prefers humanoids, but she could also become a dog or a fish. Instead of consuming organic life like Material Mimics, she instead consumes inorganic matter like gold and jewels. She can produce extra limbs similar to pseudopods from her non-amoeba form like Material Mimics do, but hers aren’t as adhesive because she doesn’t need to catch moving things. The acid that she can expel from these appendages to break down material, however, is much more corrosive than a normal Mimic’s. In addition, she is incredibly strong and durable and heals quickly like other mimics. These factors stay consistent throughout her forms, so she’s never stronger or weaker depending on the form she takes.
Known Skills: Mimi can speak Common fluently, as well as communicate with fellow mimics. She has good reading and writing skills, and is an incredible learner. She knows quite a bit about nature as well as bits of various lore, but she hasn’t had the time yet in her short life to learn a large variety of skills.
Known Spells/Powers:
-Negotiation: Mimi can ‘negotiate’ with Dungeon Mimics to change the terrain and layout of an area. Currently, her skills as a negotiator only allow simple things like ‘Lower that platform a bit’ or ‘shrink that pool’. When she becomes better at negotiation, however, she may be able to get a Mimic to create a pool of acid under an enemy or put a number of openings in a labyrinth to make it easier to navigate. This negotiation is not a strict agreement as much as temporarily exerting her own will over localized parts of a dungeon, but she must be able to vocalize her needs for it to work.
