The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. — Chief Joseph
Birthed through death. Died inside his pregnant mother and his soul entered that of a tree. Being born part man and part nature. Gaining abilities to shapesift and communicate with everything that exist.
A birth as odd as they come as Diego died before being born. His mother having been killed and buried under a tree. Though even as a featus Diego displayed magic, perhaps in combination with the act that had occured, as his soul traveled into that of the tree. Being born as a seed before growing and becoming a coccoon inside the tree. Finally a small child was laying there. With the trees taking care of him, learning to communicate with each other.
After some time even the animals would treat him with the same respect as trees, until he slowly starts to understand each animal he ran into. Even getting flashes of knowledge, seemingly out of nowhere, at times. Making him learn and grow quickly.
A child of nature itself, both literally and figuratively. Living, learning and communicating with all things around him until he finally found himself back to civilization. Though not quite fitting in until he ended up at Coral Springs.
Growing up in the woods, he would be kept away from humanity for some time. While he had technically displayed shapeshifting, he has been unable to show that power since. By the time he started to understand that he had the power of psychometry, and could find out more about himself through his mother's corpse, it had already become one with the earth. With the only knowledge he knew was what the trees told him. That his given name was Diego.
As a small child, starting to understand the world, an orphan soon enough started to leave his life with his new family, to find his place in life. Realizing his innate ability to learn and understand languages, as well as borrowing traits of animals. Even if he had no real control of the latter nor any understanding about how he learned languages. Now being in search of more knowledge.
Leaving the woods would be the first time Diego learned of his weakness. Dehydration. While most become weak when dehydrated, Diego loses control of his powers, getting hallucinations, and being left in a terrible mental state. The longer it goes on the worse his mental health becomes.
Being found wandering around on his own by some people they managed to bring the child to a hospital to help him, where he however injured several people before they managed to get him under control.
After he was deemed healthy Diego ended up at a orphanage, where he at first spoke no languages, but learnt within a few days. The older he got the more he started to understand languages, studying it more specifically. Which was odd for anyone around him, but they just assumed it was something natural, if rare.
Not quite fitting in he would ever so often disappear to the woods, or anywhere that he could feel at home. Most animals around liked him though, as he could talk to them. Able to read how people might react to his powers he did try and keep a low profile, until he just left to head back to the woods, not having been able to learn anything about his own past, and still not quite fitting in.
When Diego was about to return to nature, he was stopped. Instead being found and invited to Coral Springs, because of the potential they saw in him, and perhaps from his odd birth and life. Ending up at a place where he could truly be himself, and to learn so much more. To hone the skills he already had.
Once ending up at the school he would get to continue to hone his skills, starting to have control of his psychometry a bit better. Even learning that his animal mimicry is actually able to mimic any living thing. Gaining some of their quality. However, because of him not quite having full control yet he's still trying to learn to gain the abilities of specific individuals. Though his linguistic skills has developed over the years at school. More or less able to talk all languages on Earth, and learns languages at extreme rate. Even becoming someone that would enjoy creating his own language.
Because of his nature it would not be odd that he is part of the Prometheus team, putting all life, and even all things, as equals. A lot because of where he has lived, thus having some knowledge about nature that most do not.
While Diego has had some of his powers for some time, he has had little control. Such as shapeshifting. The teachers having explained his potential yet he has yet to actually change his appearance. Learning different knowledges about anatomy, botany, and so forth, to be able to understand how they all work better. Even realizing that he is, and has always been, slightly telepathic. It was the easiest way to communicate with the trees. Understanding what the pheromones and other things from trees mean even, but telepathic link being easier. Unable to telepathically talk to humans though, other than telepaths.
Coming into his junior year he accidently did something new in his sleep. Ending up seeing from the eyes, and seeing and feeling, what a nearby fish did. Unable to control anything, but at least see. Waking in a sweat as the fish was eaten. Apparantly having slept for several days and been in the infirmary until he did. Thus having them trying to teach him to control this new ability as well.
Still, one thing he has come to realize in his time at Coral Springs, he is a communicator. All of his powers comes in some shape or form from being able to communicate with everything around him.
Physical: Due to his mimicry and communication with animals he has learned how to fight, using claw like fingers or anything else similar. Even biting and slowly learning more through contact with different people, animals, or other supers. Also his latent potential for shapeshifting does effect his physical capabilities as well.
Psychic: His connection to the world around him has made Diego able to have a psychic link with everything that exist in his proximity. Able to tap into a mental link with animals, plants, humans, and even objects. Slowly gaining an ever more powerful connection to the world.
Shapeshifting: When born his soul went into a seed of a tree, technically half tree and half human. Through a metamorphosis he became a cocoon before being born as a small child. The last time he made a complete shapeshifting. While currently he has little control of this, mainly just changing the colors of his eyes or hair. In theory he has the potential to be able to change his shape into anything. Gaining the abilities of whatever animal, plant, et cetera, that he changes into. The more different shape, the harder it get.
Psychometry: When touching an object Diego is able to gain knowledge about it. From history to present, making him able to learn a lot of the past through all things he comes in contact with. Technicall works like telepathy to inanimate objects.
Telepathy: Able to contact all living things through his mind. Though at the time it is only able to reach plants, animals and other telepaths. Through training he might be able to learn to control this power.
Mimicry: Throughout his life he has been able to gain abilities from different living beings. Such as the speed of a cheetah, lungs of a whale, so forth. While this is currently only able for one animal, or plant, at a time. He is learning to even start to try and combine them, as well as draw from specific specimens. Such as Elvis' singing ability or similar. Not quite there, but knowing that with enough knowledge and training, he could.
Possession: Able to send his soul into that of another living being, be it animal, human, or plants. For now only able to experience what they do, but not able to control them. The stronger the specimen's will the harder it is to enter. With training he would be able to control them. Currently able to suggest to ants what to do, but not really mind control.
Linguistics: While technically not a power, he is superhumanly capable of learning languages. While knowing most languages known on the planet, any that he does not he can learn quickly. Currently able to learn any language within an hour, no matter how hard the language. Knowing how a language works just from the sounds of it. Knowing that he could probably learn things even faster than that. Able to communicate with all life, including plants and animals. Most likely even ancient languages and alien languages, if he were to come in contact with it.
Claircognizance: Able to know things that he has no way of explaning. Sudden knowledge about places, people, objects. Such as being able to tell if someone lies, or even if someone has done something. However it is limited to him having to be in the vacinity of the subject he gain knowledge from. Thus it makes him an amazing lie detector. While not knowing how or why someone would, he would just know that they do. This goes for most things around him. He would know that someone died in a spot, or perhaps even that someone was killed in a spot.
Dehydration Weakness: Like most trees wither without water, so does Diego. Growing weaker physically and mentally. As well as losing his mental stability the more dehydrated he get. Hallucinations, having uncontrollable mood swings. Becoming a danger to all. While his body would be easy to secure, his mind would be harder. Making him volatile if not handled correctly.
Extremely curious and with a strong will to learn new things. Often rather honest and believes that all things are created equal, and thus we need to show respect for each things. Be it a stone, a fish, a human, or even aliens. Expert at communications and has a passion to know languages. He's also emotional and while he has it in control most of the time, if he get weakened it often shines through during his process of slowly going insane.
Straight, thick, brows might be the first eye-catching thing as it rests above small almond shaped, color shifting, eyes. A straight, plump, nose fills up his appearance some, as do his full lips. His slender form, and rounded cheeks and jawline, ends in a rounded chin. His dark brown hair kept a bit messy, but relatively short. His ears slightly pointy.
Standing at 6'0" and growing still. Slightly tanned skin and lean body, as the young man does always seem to be in relatively good shape, with a body more for speed than power. Broad shoulders, flat chest and abs. His limps being rather slender, but with some definition to them. His back strong and offering a good posture.
