notachickenhawkOkay, so as someone who's acquired the morphing technology, Tobias can morph into any creature he touches. This includes characters! So obviously I need a little input from you guys.
He can only copy instinctual information, so if your character has powers they were born with but couldn't be used without training he can't use those. If your character doesn't have DNA, he also can't morph them. Additionally he'd have to acquire them while in his red-tailed hawk form. ('Acquiring' just makes your character sleepy for a moment, and it's not likely that most will really notice anything wrong.)
In general the Animorphs have agreed not to acquire anything/anyone sentient who doesn't give permission, but they've been known to break this rule when they need to.
In addition! Tobias is from the '90s. '90s culture is pretty rampant through the books. Doom, Pokemon, Baywatch, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and other things are referenced, sometimes often. If your character's canon was around in the '90s and there's a reasonable chance that a dorky kid in California could have seen it, please let me know!
Morphing
Can Tobias acquire your character?: If 'no' then ignore the rest of this part! Or if you're not sure, just ask and we can figure it out!
What species is your character/does your character consider themselves?: Particularly important if your character differs from 'human' at all.
Does your character have any kind of natural abilities/physical features?: This includes strong instincts characteristic of your character's species.
Does your character have scars or any sort of external, permanent injury?: Since morphing is from DNA, things like scars or missing limbs will regrow when he morphs. However, if your character has a condition like being blind or paralyzed at birth, then this won't fix it.
Fourth Wall
Is Tobias likely to know your canon?: Basically was your canon mainstream in America in the '90s? If not, you can ignore the rest of this part!
Did this canon exist in the form you play from in the '90s?: For example - he wouldn't recognize someone like Gandalf based on his face - but if he heard the name he might.
Can he fourth wall your character?: He's not outright likely to be like "hey you're from that show!" but he might react a little. Saying 'no' is okay!
Questions/Comments?: Free space! Anything you don't understand can go here.

no subject
Date: 2013-10-11 03:53 am (UTC)Can Tobias acquire your character?: I suppose?
What species is your character/does your character consider themselves?: Reno's Gaian, though fundamentally human his genetic structure is probably quite a bit different than an Earth Human.
Does your character have any kind of natural abilities/physical features?: His best feature is his speed; running, jumping, climbing, that sort of thing. He's pretty damn fast and use that to his advantage in battle.
Does your character have scars or any sort of external, permanent injury?: Reno's got quite a few battle scars, including one on his stomach and one on his knee. Most of them are pretty old save for those two.
Fourth Wall
Is Tobias likely to know your canon?: Final Fantasy VII was released in 1997 and was pretty big in the US.
Did this canon exist in the form you play from in the '90s?: The original game is, complete with blocky pixely 3D, yes. Reno's actual appearance is quite a bit different from the models and original concept art, though his name, hair, and tattoos much be recognizable to someone paying attention.
Can he fourth wall your character?: Sure why not.
