Benchmarks & Vulnerabilities: Animal can be helpful in almost any situation, but animal has psychological problems because his animal abilities cause him to act animalistic, so he could possible attack people for no reason or he could go on a rampage in the city. He can control this most of the time, but sometimes he can’t

Personality: Animal is a nice guy, he likes to be helpful, he has some issues with his father and doesn’t like people talking about him in front of him, no matter if what they are saying is good or bad. Animal has another side of him that wouldn’t mind killing a person or destroying someone’s home. The other side of Animal wouldn’t care about being a hero, he would care about nothing else other than himself.

Origin/Background: Giovanni grew up with his mother in Japan, she treated him very kindly and loved him like any normal mother would love their child, but she would always look at him and just stare, he always wondered why she would do that. Giovanni never knew his father, his mother would try to tell him about him sometimes, but she would just stop in the middle and then say “I’ll tell you when you are older.” Giovanni’s mother never told him, because she died when he was seventeen. Animal moved in with his uncle, who was just as kind to him as his mother was. Giovanni’s uncle told him about his father. He told him that his father was an Italian man, who was very wealthy and was always guarded by a bunch of men where ever he went. Giovanni didn’t know his father’s name or where he could be, but he really didn’t care, if someone like that didn’t want to be in his life he wouldn’t care. Giovanni decided he would go to New congress to get a fresh start on life. He was only seventeen, but he thought it would be better for him. Giovanni loved being in New congress, that was until the accident happened and everyone started getting super powers. Giovanni didn’t realize he had powers until he was walking home from his job and a ball came flying towards him. He stopped the ball with one hand, but the weird part was that his arm and hand was covered in brown fur, like a bear. Giovanni ran home and stared at his arm for an hour. He then looked at his other arm and wondered if he could do the same with it as well, he concentrated and his other arm grew fur, then his legs and then the rest of his body. Giovanni was amazed, he then ended up turning himself into a grizzly bear without realizing it. Giovanni knew that he had to use his powers for good, he used Animal as his name to keep himself secret from everyone. But Animal didn’t realize that there was an animal inside of him that he couldn’t control. He didn’t realize it until he woke up one day in a warehouse and his hands were bloody. He couldn’t remember what had happened, he felt he didn’t do it in his heart, but the evidence was in his hands. Animal decided he would have to find a way to stop himself before something worse happened. Animal realized that what happened was his animal side taking over, he learned that he could control it by calming himself. But it didn’t last long, there were news reports of a wolf man running on peoples roofs, He knew it was either him or some other person, but he doubted it was someone else. Now Animal doesn’t know what to do, he just wanted to find help.
