Name: Marcel
Age: Two years old. (Explained, I promise)

 

Appearance:

Relatively human, his skin is forever changing color as he was accidentally morphed from a chameleon (through magick). His muzzle disappeared, and his eyes no longer stick out. His profile is almost completely flat, as his nose is only two dark slits in his face. His eyes change color with the rest of him. He is completely hairless, as he still isn't a mammal, but as far as tests have shown his body is externally mimicking a human being, with the exception of a few features: scales, hairlessness, claws, his tail.
He stands at 6 feet tall, and wears only a pair of black trousers (someone else's idea).  Normally, when he isn't blending in (or trying to) his skin, eyes etc. are variations of pale green. He has no weapons, only his natural reflexes from when he knew only his instincts. He weighs around 150lbs, mostly muscle and scales.

 

Abilities:

Thus far, undiscovered. He was the result of an accident, and while it is clear that he has some connection to magical forces (as they parented him) he has no control over anything, meaning that his magic responds mostly to powerful emotion rather than harnessed thought. He has a large amount of physical strength, which is supposed to have been left over from the accident.

He has the ability to camouflage himself, and great agility for hanging upside down in trees and the like.

 

Weaknesses:

Almost everything. He is new to emotions, to speech, to interaction with other intelligent people. Conversationally, he's awkward and difficult to approach. He over and under reacts to the wrong things, and is easily confused by intelligent culture. The only things he's used to responding to are danger and the need for food and shelter.
His feelings are easily hurt, and he's desperate to fit in. He still has a strong fear of people, even though he's larger than most.
Marcel is unused to combat, and is often clumsy when it comes to fighting - though his strength is a great asset.
Most of his strengths are physical. He is held back by his flaws, both emotionally and magickally, though. He has a tendency to say the wrong things in both definition as well as pronunciation.

 

History:

Marcel was bought on the black market by a mage who was interested in furthering his magical abilities. Determined to use the normal, exotic lizard in a potion, he was taken to the home of the man.
Once there, two men began another ritual to make themselves more powerful. Marcel was caught in the crossfire, and when the smoke cleared he had grown. Intrigued, he was studied for weeks - during which time his intelligence grew in leaps and bounds, and he had soon learned his own rough version of English. Eventually, his mental growth seemed to even off (roughly matching a teenager of around sixteen). His body grew into the form of an adult male and he was given a name from his 'owner'.
More and more spells were cast over him, until his aura was a clashing shade of multi-color from all the talismans, curses and potions he had been exposed to. Finally tired of his own abuse, Marcel escaped to find a cruel world outside - not many of whom were interested in a magical misfit who didn't even know where to begin to belong. At first, Marcel was hunted, but it seems now that his captors have forgotten him or cast him away as dead. Now he is a wanderer, who often wonders what his purpose is in life. Due to his altered state, it is unclear how long the two-year-old will live.
