Skills and Abilities:
With enough knowledge about the makeup of his body and what he wants to change to Marc has opened up a whole world of possibilities to him. He can change out minor parts of his body pretty much on a whim by know without much effort for him and he can maintain these changes for up to 8 hours. This includes changes to his human anatomy but can also span out to the animal kingdom, giving him the sight of an eagle or a sense of balance like a feline to name a few. Those things can also be made permanent, but he has to have enough time to fully concentrate to do such and can't do very much at once, allowing him to do so pretty much only by meditation once a day.
A full body transformation is another story altogether. Given the image or the memory of another being he can change to it for around 2-4 hours in normal cases, based on how different the target is. Every additional usage of this ability has around half the timespan as the one before that for a maximum of 6 until he got a good rest, replenishing his reserves. (I.e. 2-4h-> 1-2h -> 30-60min -> 15-30min -> 7-15min-> 3-7min)
Backstory: Marc has been a loner his whole life. It was just easier that way, since no one could abuse his trust like his parents did by leaving him as a kid. The life as an orphan was hard enough as it was and he was glad to have finally snuck his way out of there shortly after he turned 18, fulfilling the plan he had worked on for a couple years by then, including retrieving all of his paperwork from them which was actually the hardest part. What he didn't know was that the regular shots and check-ups there weren't normal at all and most of the kids that left from one day to the other weren't really adopted but dead instead.
As it turns out the institute was doing illegal research on supers and slowly injected the kids there with countless revised serums to enhance them for the military with no results up until now other than countless carcasses. That made the experience of his right arm quickly growing a thick layer of orange fur right before his eyes rather shocking as he read an article about the dying out of orangutan's in a magazine in his shabby down town apartment he could afford as a delivery man. Only after minutes of staring at and touching it did he believe that he didn't have a bad dream and this was in fact reality. He feared that it would stay like this forever but after passing out and waking up the next day it was back to normal and his life was never the same since then.
Over the last month he experimented every day to find and train the span and limits of his newfound powers, using them to slowly yet multitudes faster than it would normally take, sculpt his body into the one he always wanted to have. Right now he was working to achieve the super human senses permanently that he was so amazed by in his temporary transformations. That took up a lot of his free time meditating, but he also felt so ready to finally turn his abilities into some money to get out of his miserable life.
