Description: Rafique is tall and broad, standing 6'3" and weighing 200 lbs. He is Indian, with black hair and a handsome face. His wild card power is the ability to assume the form of any primate, as long as he has a bone fragment (or something similar) to hold in his hands and focus on. Note Rafique can activate his power at will, but can also have his power turn on whenever he picks something up. It also can take anywhere from a second to several minutes for him to assume a new form. The time delay is determined by how far removed from the human normal his new form is (for example: human - instantly, gorilla - a second, lemur - several minutes). When in the body of his new form, Rafique gains all of the physical skill of that form, such as strength—a useful side effect indeed.
