Name: Inomi
Age: ?
Gender: N/A
Race: N/A
Sex: N/A
Appearance: Inomi's appearance is reflected upon whomever it is Emulating. The more Inomi knows of their appearance, the more identical it appears. Inomi is always Emulating someone, or in the process of Emulation, so it's true appearance is not known even to itself.
Personality: Inomi not only Emulates the appearance of others to the best of its abilities, it does the same with personality. Although it is hard to pinpoint at first, Inomi does have its own distinct personality despite its insistence (or perhaps, compulsion) to stay truly "in character" to whomever they are Emulating.
Backstory: Inomi's world of origin is a world of constant war, but its masses do not know this; besides the occasional civil war instigated by political coup or border skirmish between irrelevant nations, there are no wars, certainly none of the wide-scale violence that had wracked humanities for the centuries before. In actuality, war is more brutal and common than ever, but it much more subtle. Gone are the days of missiles and machine guns, all of those crude tools have been replaced by nano-robots that induce heart attacks, undetectable toxins that poison the food and water of an entire city. War is a matter of subterfuge, soldiers no long wear helmets and boots but lab coats and HAZMATS suits, and boot camps have been replaced by academies. Scientists of each country fight each other, in a constant technological race to develop weaponry that can outsmart their rivals while simultaneously creating countermeasures to thwart each other.
Project INOMI was one of these efforts. A sentient bioweapon that could become anyone at any time, one that could appear anywhere, gain intelligence, sabotage facilities, even imitate political and military officials. Like a child, it remembers little of its own birth, only that it was a dizzying cacophony of every kind of stimulation until it finally assumed a stable formed. As a top-secret project, it was stowed away and isolated, only receiving contact from a handful of scientists. It learned of people through literature, video and other assorted media, a process that continued for much time, (what felt like years to Inomi, but it had no way to gauge time during this period) where it learned to Emulate those it observed. When it was finally introduced to other new people, Inomi could emulate them so well that many of them were shaken that something could flawlessly impersonate them within minutes of introductions.
Before Inomi was deployed on any military operations, something happened, something that Inomi is still uncertain of today; it is only sure that something went wrong in the facility. The day came when there were no more scientists, as if they all had vanished, and Inomi was left to wander an unsecured base that felt as if it were abandoned long ago. Whether the scientists left of their own accord or some sort of consequence of their research Inomi does not know.
Inomi escaped into the world and had difficulty melding in at first; it assumed the identities of celebrities and fictional characters it had read and seen, the figures Inomi could best Emulate after long-term exposure to them, and this led to civilians flocking to the spontaneous appearance of actors and actresses. The shapeshifter developed a better plan following this, Emulating obscure celebrities and minor characters that few people recognized. This allowed it to incorporate itself into society, as it soon figured out how to Emulate a homeless man roaming the streets, the socialite browsing stores, and the policeman patrolling the alleyways. This brought about minor panic as people would end up spotting family and friends in impossible situations, being in two locations simultaneously for example.
Just as the populace began to formulate theories to explain this phenomena among themselves, the culprit seemingly vanished, never to be seen again...

Perks:
Emulate: Inomi shapeshifts into someone else, replicating their appearance and personality to the best of its abilities. Upon Emulation, Inomi basically becomes a copy of that person, which includes their Stats, Perks, Skills, Equipment,, Status, etc., at the time of Emulation.
*The better Inomi knows of its target, the more indistinguishable its Emulation is from the actual person; if Inomi has not had time to research its Emulation target, it can still Emulate them although it will most likely be an inaccurate representation of the target.
*Emulating someone does not grant Inomi their memories.
*Inomi can not Emulate something that does not have a 'soul'. What truly constitutes a soul is unknown to Inomi; it is possibly linked to sentience or something else entirely. (Inomi can Emulate most robots, but not inanimate objects.)
*Inomi can not Emulate anything smaller than a housefly, or larger than an elephant.
*Shifting between Emulating forms is not instantaneous, it takes roughly one minute.
*Inomi's Emulated form will be described as E-Form. (Ex. E-Master Chief, E-Mio, etc.)
*Inomi is always in one form of Emulation or another, it has not been observed to have a 'Basic' state.
Master of Disguise: +15 to Disguise related rolls.
Heightened Anthro-Analysis: A good part of Inomi's "Upbringing" was its study of different types of people as well as individuals. Because of this, it is able to accurately Emulate someone's personality and bodily/facial expressions within 10-20 minutes of interaction with them.
Among the Shadows: Living as a "false" person, Inomi had to avoid attracting attention to itself. +6 Stealth.
Pandemonium Amalgamation: Once per plot, Inomi can perform an Emulation 'Overload'. When this is activated, it takes the highest individual stats from its current party, as well as 6 Random Perks and 10 Skills from the party as well. This form lasts for 4 Turns, after that, Inomi enters a 'Stabilization' phase where it can not perform any Actions for a turn.
Equipment: Empty.
Actions:
[Basic Attack Action]
Uncanny Valley - Inomi shifts its form just enough to highly disturb its target. Extra effective against targets who are easily scared or easily manipulated. (Uses SYN)
[Basic Defense Action]
Quick Shift - Inomi shifts its form slightly, causing attacks on it to make an incorrect assumption as to where it really is. (Uses SYN)
[Other Actions]
Splitting Image (Active) [Level 3] - Inomi simultaneously Emulates two people, seemingly operating as two entities. However, this results in each Emulation being weaker than normal. Each Emulation is 3/4 as efficient as its target: All Stats are 3/4th'd, Skills are all 3/4 as effective and Cooldowns take 3/4 as long.
Double Team (Active) - Inomi sacrifices ten percent of its health to create a decoy in its own image. The target's Intelligence is rolled against Inomi's Intelligence, if it wins, it targets the decoy and not itself.
Mindwarp (Active) - Inomi contorts the mind of its opponent, Confusing them. Confused Enemies Roll a d6: 1-2 they attack themselves, 3-4 they attack someone on their team, 5-6 they attack normally. Each turn they can attempt an Intelligence roll to break out of the Confused state.
Quick Shift (Active) [Level 2] - Inomi can switch Emulation forms in the midst of combat. It can only Emulate someone who's HP (both current and total) is less than the HP of its current Emulated form.
Absorption (Passive) [Level 2] - If Inomi kills someone, it can absorb their body, retaining all of their memories they possessed while they were alive.
Inventory:
Empty.
