Pathos - ??? - It/They/Any - 4'5
Specialist
Pathos is heavily influenced by the emotions of others, negative feelings causing it to become more hostile and unpredictable while positive and neutral emotions make them more docile and level.
Example: If someone were to encounter it and their response to it was fear Pathos would be more likely to attack or view them as prey but if that person was to calm themself Pathos too would become more tame and curious. In order to safely be allies with Pathos a person must have strong control over their emotions, one who isn't upset or discouraged easily is required lest their lack of control may cause Pathos to turn and attack.
Pathos is incredibly intelligent but struggles with the nature of their instincts, the influence of other’s emotions upon their self. With people whom they've already befriended Pathos can manage to tolerate more of the negative feelings produced from these individuals although it is not a guarantee that it will be able to control itself after an extended period of time. This leads it to isolate itself and observe others from afar as its afraid to get close enough to care for someone.
They are the target of Unidentified Beast Hunters being chased down in order to be studied due to their incredible natural regenerative abilities. Pathos is constantly on the move lurking in the shadows, it has a deep fascination with human life so it finds it difficult to stay far from them for long.

Fabricated Memories (Specialist)
Pathos is able to insert false memories into the mind of any sentient target(s) it so wishes. This ability is utilized to alter the actions and thoughts of other's or to manipulate a target's perception of reality.
Targets with strong mental fortitude are more arduous to manipulate into believing Pathos's memory alteration tactics.
More complicated memories are harder to implant but vague ideas or concepts are difficult for any target even strongly minded individuals to see through.
Limitations: In order for this ability to take effect the target must make sustained eye contact with Pathos for at least five seconds. Additionally the effect fades with time and will be forgotten completely within three days. After this time period Pathos may not implant/alter the memories of the same target for an additional three days.
Mind Over Matter (Specialist)
With this ability Pathos is able to create hallucinations in which the target believes they're in an incredible amount of pain, anguish, bliss, etc. causing a severe amount of delirium in the target. The illusions can vary widely (auditory, tactile, visual) but none of the effects cause any actual physical alterations to the subject. Hallucinations created by this ability are perceived to be the reality of the current target and are exceedingly difficult to break through.
Limitations: UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i will think
