Passenger is able to shapeshift to an extent. He must throughouly study an animal or an object before he can take its form, and his "Skin" and "hair" can take any color or texture. He has three main forms, though had more in the past he doesn't know how to take anymore.
This form, the regular human, is his strongest upright form, and the one he most often takes.
Running form
The uncanney, The uncanny, lanky, tall form. It has large claws and long legs, able to outrun or catch up to pretty much any person. It's weaker than his regular form, but far faster and still significantly stronger than any human- mostly just used for intimidation.
Sentinel
His strongest and heaviest form that resides at the library.
- Anatomy - Passenger has a very deep understanding of human anatomy and general medicine, though he is far from being a doctor.
- Reading - He is extremely well read, he lives in a library afterall.
- Puzzle solving and Math - He has a very high sense of pattern recognition and is able to efficiently solve problems that most people probably can't.
- Chemistry - He isn't extremely well-versed in chemistry, but he has a basic understanding. This is worth noting because most people within his universe can barely read.

PERSONALITY
Quiet and reserved, he tends to stick to himself and is very slow to trust others. He occasionally will travel with small groups of people when he needs to go to further away cities, though he often travels alone when this needs to be done.
Passenger is terrified of fire, even just embers will spook him. He has a few very strong beliefs and sets of behavior that will never change, however he's extremely moldable, much like an AI.
He learns very differently than we do, seeing as though he's not human, and isn't even an animal. He belongs to the kingdom of mycelium, exploring his world like an imitation of a human-being.
He's very non-violent and prefers to run rather than protect himself. He doesn't like hurting people but will go to absolutely any length to protect those close to him. Even at the mention of violence towards his loved ones and he will attack.
On this same note, and drawing back to the note of the AI-like mindset, Passenger is a very split being. He exists as a large colony- of which there are two sides. The side that goes out and explores the world, "Wanderer," and the part that stays out and protects the library, quietly growing and existing in a sleep-like state, "Sentinel." Sentinel is a violent, angry, trauma-holding more protective side of the colony. Wonderer is quiet and passive, preferring peace to solve solutions. Should Wonderer be destroyed, Sentinel will stir after a week or so and will stop at no end to find the cause of Wonderer's destruction. It does this to ensure the safety of the colony.
