Triptych Shapeshifting - even if he's a snappy dresser and quite handsome in human form, he definitely prefers to stalk around campus with hoof feet and tall horns

- prime 1, Grackle, flight and speech

- prime 2, Vervet Monkey, exceptional nimble hands, and aided human-level intelligence

- prime 3, Sable Antelope, large and in charge whether you want him there or not

- Triptych, Even Larger and More In Charge

Drama King +6 Highly competitive and occasionally a little more heated than needed, Rayne puts every effort into drama class with his kids, leading by example as it were. If he had to go to war he wouldn't be a desk bound general, he would very much lead the charge. Gets rather riled up at sports events too...

Literacy Is His Domain +5 He does speak more than just English, knowing plenty of conversational bits and pieces from the Americas as well as Skin-side African language groups. But he reads and writes in English, French, Italian, and Savannah (fur-side African). He will take bits and pieces of whatever is going to illustrate his point, and encourages his students to do the same

Fingers Always Moving +5 little monkey fingers, with the occasionally-added hoof ends to tappy tappy, you know when he is giving you his full attention when those noises and motion stop. He can write using virtually any implement around, including one of his own feathers as a quill, also including 'using his beak to hold the feather', his dexterity is not limited to merely fingers

Intimidation Factor +5 He is able and willing to face down a fully Monstered-Out hormonal teen if they've discovered that their boyfriend is cheating on them, but does not have to actively fight to achieve a stable cooldown. He can be blustery, yes, but he also can be super calm. Very focused. You ... don't want him to be focusing that kind of energy at you

Flight +3 Though Grackles are often known as ground birds, he can fly more than adequately with them including on his Triptych form, and while in that larger shape he can carry a full grown humanoid on the way

Emulate Vocal Styles +5 he can't really teach this to others, but he has the ability to bellow, shout, twitter, sing, chime, chirp, or shriek with incredible accuracy if he's heard the sound before. This is how he's able to rattle off long passages during rehearsal, echo back to his students when he wants to make them aware of their mistake or a particularly good performance, or get an entire auditorium to shut the f-up when a stage ninja accidentally falls out of the rafters...

Yes, He Is A Bit Moody -3 He is a big male Sable and a big male Vervet and a big male Grackle. They are all known to be a touch more than bold when it comes to finding a mate or a social group, so if he wants 'in' somewhere, he is going to be dramatic about it, and more than likely he will scare the shit out of you in the process
