Personality:
"Mi primo Camilo won’t stop until he makes you smile today!"
Camilo is a bright, good-humored, vivacious 15-year-old Colombian boy, still trying to determine who he is and who he wants to be. Having never left his small, isolated, self-dependent village, full of people who’ve known him his whole life and known his family for the past 50 years, when his grandmother helped found the village, there are a lot of expectations on him to make himself useful to the community and honor his family’s values. …He can also magically shapeshift into everyone else around him at will and on demand, ever since he was five years old, so, uh, that also makes finding one’s footing with a budding sense of self a little more difficult. He’s still just a teenager like any other teenager, trying to define his identity slowly but surely, figuring out what he can offer the world as himself, but when all your life people have expected you to turn into other people, when that ability has become a primary hobby and knee-jerk source of entertainment, even a habit, feels like a part of who you are…? It’s a bit more complicated. But lately he is steadily learning that he is more than just his Gift, regardless of what other people expect of him, just like the rest of his uniquely magical family.
He has a vibrant and animated disposition, taking after his warm and affable, un-magical father. Camilo has a strong sense of humor, a flair for the dramatic (being dubbed “the theatre kid” of the family), and a mischievous streak, finding enjoyment in using his shapeshifting Gift to tease his prim and proper cousin Isabela, his quiet sister Dolores, and his good-natured father. Camilo’s very much a jokester, with a quick wit, a wry, sometimes sarcastic sense of humor, and a great sense of comedic timing. It’s sometimes at the expense of others, but he knows where the boundaries are drawn, and has a certain “no-no” list of people he won't tease in his family. He’ll exaggerate stories for funsies, laying on the drama thick for entertainment value, even if he makes something seem a little scarier than it actually is. But it’s all in good fun.
While he’s a bit of a prankster, it’s never mean-spirited. Camilo has a gentle and soft disposition at heart, able to comfort and soothe others just as well as he can make them laugh. His mother, unlike his father, is a lot less even-keel. She has a magical ability to control the weather around her, but feels her emotions on fairly high intensity compared to others in their family (and, let’s be frank, has a bit of a flair for the dramatics, too; Camilo gets it from somewhere!), which often results in thunderstorms and snowstorms when she’s upset, even hurricanes…! So growing up with her intense moods as an almost daily norm, he’s had plenty of practice calming his mother in her heightened emotional states, seen serving her tea and speaking gentle mantras to her. He’s got a great way with younger kids, as well, especially known around town for entertaining them with his shapeshifting abilities. He is enthusiastically encouraging of his comparatively meek five-year-old brother Antonio, and is always determined to make him laugh when the little boy is nervous. He’s trusted to babysit for other villagers, happy to help the community with humble tasks like comforting an infant while the mother takes a surely much-needed siesta. He likewise uses his shapeshifting abilities to help when he can, such as making himself taller to match a man hanging a banner and help him hang the other side evenly. He’s always shown to be eager to help out in any way, for both his family and his neighbors. In his village, everyone helps everyone — and everyone also relies on his family for extra help, y’know, with the magic powers and all…
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: immediate arrival Items: Arrives wearing a striped yellow ruana with chameleon motifs on it, a plain white long-sleeve shirt, plain dark trousers, and embroidered sandals. Retained Ability:shape-shifting; in canon: cannot obtain other people’s powers while shape-shifting, cannot shape-shift into animals, can choose to take on the person's voice to some degree but only with practice, can shape-shift to people of different sizes, ages, sexes at will and back at will with incredible speed, ease and accuracy.
Weakened state at arrival: this ability will not come with the usual ease it normally would, will require more focus, familiarity and practice to create a perfect match when taking the form of others, will have less stamina to maintain the form, his transformations might be volatile (as in, he may spontaneously shift back without willing to, shift to the wrong person or unintentionally shift depending on external triggers like pain or shock, what’s on his mind, or his emotional state, may lose control of random characteristics, face might get stuck mid-transformation more often); generally less precision, accuracy or control…
