Innately loyal, Rasputin cares about all of hir brothers and sisters in the 'hood, and would do anything for them.

! History

{{Tab}} Four years ago, Clyde Hendrickson was a fifteen year old boy,  
living in Albany, New York, with his parents, two brothers, one
older, one younger, and his older sister. His father was a     
successful dentist, while his mother stayed at home, also      
running a life-tips blog. Clyde's life was peaceful, in a      
relatively-safe neighborhood compared to that of the big city, 
and they didn't know many mutants besides the few physical ones
they'd see at the store from time to time. However, things     
changed one day. Clyde was riding his bicycle down the street, 
earbuds in, unable to hear for warnings. A drunk driver was    
speeding, and was unable to stop as he noticed Clyde, while    
Clyde was unable to hear nearby screams. The car impacted with 
Clyde, but not before something spectacular happened. His mind 
jumped out of his body in the stressful moment, transferring   
into that of a nearby female squirrel. The entire scenario was 
tramautic, causing the loss of his memories, but he quickly    
realized that the body was his own, due to memories of human   
experiences yet no memory of his own identity. Meanwhile, his  
body died shortly after the accident, before he could figure   
out his abilities, leaving him without any way to obtain a     
human body. He found where he had previously lived, and learned
a little bit, but not much, just enough to fill in the blanks, 
of his identity. Soon, he realized that he could also          
manipulate soundwaves, including the animal's own vocal noises,
to create voices, giving him a way to communicate. From this   
point on, he realized that any chance of returning to his old  
life was hopeless, and decided to head to the big city to find 
a new life. Taking the body of a bird, he left Albany, heading 
to Manhattan. 
                                                 
Clyde's first action, having quickly adapted to his situation  
no matter how much he disliked it, due to his need for         
survival, was to find a suitable long term body. After flying  
around the city, at a low height due to his fear, he found a   
small alley near the Russian district, where several stray cats
lived. One of these strays was a young tom, about a year old,  
named Rasputin. He was a fluffy white cat, with beautiful blue 
eyes, and was one of the more dominant members of the alley    
strays, though still young and immature. Clyde took his body,  
suppressing his mind, but not his instincts, and took his name 
as well. The new Rasputin soon learned that he could understand
the language of the cats, and could also communicate in it. He 
soon, using his human intellect, was the smartest of the alley 
cat gang, and though one of the youngest, became their leader. 
Although he slowly became comfortable, it still dawned on him  
that he would never actually be a human again. He slowly       
realized that his gender identity was useless, choosing to     
identify as Neutral gender solely due to this. Ze spent several
years as their leader, until 2011. Ze learned, via chatter ze  
would pick up, that there was a group of mutants called the    
Brotherhood, rumored to be for the rights of mutants, of any   
type or ability, and would go to great, sometimes drastic      
measures to show their worth. Although ze most likely          
over-romanticized their true goals and power, Rasputin was     
determined to find them.
                                       
Using various animals as scouts, though this obviously had     
issues due to animal brains, Rasputin found a BoM recruiter    
after a few months of searching. Although the recruiter did not
know that ze was not actually a cat, ze used hir sound         
manipulation to communicate with the recruiter, one of the     
first real times ze had communicated with humans since the     
incident. The recruiter was skeptical, but after several more  
months of doing various favors, Rasputin was able to prove     
hirself to him and was invited onto the island as a full       
member. To this day, Rasputin has strived to be as loyal as    
possible to the BoM, and though ze has hir struggle, it's hard 
to doubt that Rasputin is constantly trying and wouldn't even  
think of betraying them. Though, after the Liberty Island      
incident, ze has had more and more questions, though not       
unloyal, about what exactly they are trying to achieve.

{{Tab}}Rasputin was born with the mutant ability to possess and       
dominate the minds of animals, taking their bodies for hirself.
Rasputin can stay in a body indefinitely, though cannot        
suppress the animal's instinct. Weaker animals can get very    
sick, and if already ill enough, die once their body is left,  
due to the mind coming back all at once. However, animals that 
are more use to this or are stronger can go through it with    
tiny headaches. Likewise, swapping into an unfamiliar animal   
type will give Rasputin large headaches and will also be       
difficult to control due to Rasputin's unfamiliarity of the   
animal. Animals that Rasputin possesses must be within several 
feet of hir when ze tries to possess them, which takes anywhere
from 30 seconds to two minutes depending on whether or not     
Rasputin has possessed this type of animal before. Rasputin can
both understand and communicate in the language of the animal, 
but loses this ability once ze swaps to a different species. Ze
can only possess avians, reptilians, and mammals, but no limit 
within these groups. If a body Rasputin dies while Rasputin is 
in it, Rasputin will also die.                                 
                                                                               
Rasputin also has the ability of minor sound manipulation,     
being able to create voices out of sound waves, including the  
types animals make. These voices can sound like any voice      
Rasputin has heard before and can recall on the top of hir     
head. Ze can also throw voices by using the ability on sound   
waves in a close proximity, as well. Rasputin hopes that in the
future ze will be able to make sound bursts, but this is very  
unlikely.
