Animal

Real Name:  Angelo Sanchez

Origin and Background:  Sanchez is a black-latino born in south-central Los Angeles.  He grew up enjoying music, fast cars and having fun.  But he was always a bit more intelligent than his peers and knew he wanted more out of life.  His first pet was a turtle, and from that his fascination with animals grew.  He spent years studying the martial arts, and his dedication lead him into more training and the deeper mysteries.  It was while on a spiritual retreat that he discovered his quasi-magical ability to take on the form of any animal.

Combat Tactics/M.O.:  He prefers to fight in animal form, using the natural abilities of the forms to his advantage.  When he needs strength and power, he takes on the form of an ape or gorilla.  If he needs speed, he uses the cheetah.  He enjoys flying as an eagle.  Because he lives near the ocean, he is adept with shark and sea lion forms.

Personality/Character Traits:  He is a wild mix of city and wilderness, and blends easily into both environments.  He won't tolerate cruelty to animals.

POWERS, SKILLS & WEAKNESSES:  IDENTITY: Angelo Sanchez
EXPERIENCE LEVEL: 4           AFFILIATION: 

• Heightened Attack
• Heightened Endurance A: +12
• Heightened Intelligence A: +9
• Heightened Senses: He has trained his senses to near superhuman levels. He can hear in the infrasonic and ultrasonic ranges, can see in very low light levels. Other benefits include +4 v. range modifiers for all senses, +8% all detection rolls and +4 to INT for all saves to remember something he has experienced.
• Martial Arts: Extensive combat training in ancient secrets gives him +2 "to hit" in unarmed HTH, -2 to be hit by all attacks that he is aware of while conscious and mobile, +2 to HTH damage and +10% to all Detection Rolls.
• Transformation (Shapeshift): He can transform into any animal shape listed in the V&V rulebook. The animal form must be a "real" animal (no mythological creatures or dinosaurs) and cannot have a weight greater than 10 times his normal weight. His Hit Points and Power do not change. It requires one action to transform, but none to change back. He can retain the form indefinitely unless he is incapacitated. When in animal form, he uses all the creatures attributes with certain modifiers: +10" all movement rates, +3 damage HTH, +2 to the animal AGL for purposes of AGL saves.  He uses his own AGL for initiative purposes, but uses the animal form's AGL otherwise. All Martial Arts and Training bonuses still apply and he retains his natural intelligence. He uses the animal form's ACC bonus or his own ACC bonus, whichever is higher. Some forms will have additional special powers, at the GM's discretion. If the animal form's Carry Cap needs to be known, multiply its weight by 1.964.
• Training: +1 "to hit" and +1 damage with unarmed HTH in any form.
