Powers	** Changeling - can shift into any other Equestrian appearance; although he cannot use Unicorn powers he can fly with ease as any sort of flighted pony or even dragon, kirin, or other such flighted creature's appearance; he's used to hiding his true form and has a set number of 'characters' he portrays including the one shown above; he tries to vary them significantly enough that he won't be mistaken for 'oh wait did they not have a horn' if someone sees them in short order; notably he also can change into bipedal forms in addition to quads, they are generally within 1/2 to 2x his mass, though he can push himself beyond that it tends to be more difficult Know it all - (S+4) he is quite smart overall, but also answers questions immediately and off the top of his head; he's not always completely correct but usually enough so that he's seen as a bit of an egghead among those who haven't seen what else he does out on the field Instaskill - as a Changeling he can adapt his behavior and even apparently his prior knowledge to fit in anywhere, +3 temporary to any cluster, skill, knack Linguist - added ^Knack for understanding languages, if they're verbal he can understand the basics with just a few phrases or listening to conversations
Clusters	Appearance Memorization +3 If he's looking through a magazine or intently watching a video clip over and over it's because he's putting that person or creature to memory, the sounds, colors and textures are easy, and if he's doing this in person where he can get close enough, smell and other less easily discerned things come too
Skills	Acting +5 He'll take on any role, any amount of stage exposure, knows how to do a song and dance routine as well as completely emulate Who's On First (often with his own Equestrian take on things and playing both roles rapidly switching between them), has a little experience with costuming and stage lighting to boot; enjoys going to movies and plays with his friends, but he'd rather be in front of the audience, than in it, any day! Loves To Be Active +4 Maybe it's more nervous energy than a conscious desire to be flitting from one activity to the next, but he's clearly well suited to fill whatever role even off the stage - whether it's grabbing a hackeysack or adding his voice to a rousing debate, he is involved at all times and doesn't try to dominate any group - just be in it Actually Charming +2 Even if he does overdo it, he tries not to talk over others, lets everyone have their turn, encourages the shy ones to realize 'the audience is more kind than you think', and come to the defense of those who he sees as being put down; all this adds up to Maverick earning that gold-star on his dressing room door
Knacks	^Understand Any Basic Language +3 As above, this is part of a power Doesn't Require Thumbs +2 Most Equestrian folk no matter their breed have this odd ability to manipulate things with their hooves even if they don't have grasping digits like bipeds might; A sort of telekinesis, quite subtle and not a power so much as a feature of their world, he still has pretty poor writing skills, but he can type well!

Though his real name might not be Maverick he certainly lives up to it, as a charming and colorful student. He's a jack of all trades, but the one thing he has mastered is shapeshifting. When he first arrived to Twoarth he was unsure of what he ought to look like. Told he must blend in, trained since hatching that he must never be seen in his 'true form', Maverick is still a touch on the paranoid side when it comes to getting relaxed and showing himself off. He tends to duck away before changing into a new form, and only those he absolutely and implicitly trusts have ever seen him shift. That said, apparently the queen-mother of his particular hive of Changelings had never known what to expect here because there are already ponies and shapeshifters and all manner of aliens that simply defy description. In fact there are classes for how to shapeshift better. He does still prefer his green-earth-pony guise, and most people know him as such. He lacks a 'cutie mark', though whether that's because he is still young and hasn't really 'earned' one yet, or because he simply cannot have one, is unclear. He doesn't try making them up on any persona he creates, he feels that maybe, someday... he will earn one all for himself. Will that make it harder for him to pass as other ponies? Only time will tell.

Old instincts die hard, though, so if he's caught in the middle of a shapechange he may get irate or grumpy and avoid whoever it is that spotted him for a while. Otherwise he's not remarkably private, and likes to participate in as many activities as he can. His busy energy plays out on the field as well as with crowd-weaving in the halls.
