Eyes: gold hazel

Clothing: Big enough to hang off his frame some what during the day, but can accomidate the changes that he goes through during the night. He mostly wears a comfortable teeshirt, browns or greys, with brown cargo pants, black combat boots, and an oversized black field jacket. Occasionally he sports a black boonie hat, hense the messy hair.

For the most part Andrew can pass for an average human during the day if no one has an issue with the color of his eyes and a slight felinoid look to his face. His messy hair has pretty much kept that from being an issue
due to the fact that he wears a boonie hat sometimes.

It is during the night when his apperance changes due to his inherited genes that sometimes, well, a lot of times cause a lot problems.

Fifty years ago, in some obscure lab, some idiot genetic scientist, as Andrew so often puts it, some how found a way to incorporate feline genes into the human genome. The resulting graft soon spread to generations of individuals who all seemed to change into feline creatures at night.

The scientist was eventually was found out and taken away, never to be seen again, while the individuals with this genetic trait were soon hunted to prevent the spread of this mix of genes.

Through the years these people learned to hide themselves effectively, but only after trial and error, and the loss of children and whole families who were either gunned down or locked away.

Andrew's parents were from this warped genetic off shoot. They had three children, two were normal, but Andrew exhibited the traits of the felinoid genetic coding at the age of five. His sleeping habits inverted as his parents could not get him to sleep at night, pillows, blankets, etc were found shredded in the morning due to claws that would form on the boy's fingers. Fang bites on the bed posts and furnature. Needless to say Andrew was a wild child.

His parents refused to give up on him though, and worked with his behaviors and when Andrew reached puberty his wild behaviours seemed to calm down. The inverted sleep behaviours,...well that never went away, and he often was caught sleeping in class among other things.

Andrew often would like to flirt with the authorities as far as his change was concerned. Often he would wait just before dusk before he would head home, just for the rush of the attempt to get home before his change was complete. As such, he often had to hide out in dark buildings such as movie theaters until dawn came and he would revert back to normal.

It was one of these times where he might have pushed the envelope too far and found himself too far from a safe zone. On a date he lost track of time while at the mall and started to change in a dressing room. In a panick he ran and left the poor girl standing next to a clothing rack as he sped by. Mall cops and authorities chased after the young man as his change continued to be more obvious, tail, claws...etc.

Andrew, in a last ditch effort to get a way from the cops jumped over a fence and into a wooded colvert for cover. It was during this jump a bright flash of light surrounded him and he was gone.

Skills:

Andrew's changes are odd. He cannot control the change when it starts, nore can he summon it at will. Sandy yellow fur covers his cheeks as if it were beard stubble and sprouts from his chest in a short thick coat if sandy yellow fur. His brown hair takes on more of a mane look as his sideburns slowly extend down and thicken and his chin sprouts fur hair as well.

His fingernails and toe nails thickin dramaticly and darken while they extend out beyond the finger about a half an inch, then taper to a point while the pads of his fingers, hands and feet darken slightly to a light brown and thicken.

Finally his frame thickens with muscle but often keeps its human form with exception of his cheeks which lift, his nose which lifts and broadens to look more like a lions, his ears which look oddly circular as a human soon swing out from his head and grow fur as well,

The only thing not human as far as his frame during the change? A full length lion's tail, with the little tuft of fur.

During the onset of sunlight Andrew reverts back to human as if none of the lion traits were ever there.

Aside form heightened hearing, sight, stength and speed Andrew knows no other special abilities and no.....he has no ability to roar as of yet.
