''Trigger type:'' Single, Coven Trigger
Trigger type: Coven Breaker


Enters a gaseous state of an alien, colorless substance. Has an odor of some sort of wild animal mixed with metal. The size and shape are fully alterable, and become semi-invisible. Maximum size recorded has been around 2x the original body at 12ft. Also can become thin enough to pass through small openings.
Howler transforms into a roughly canine-ursine changer form, about the size of a grizzly bear, though with less bulk to its body. Possessing a canid-like maw, and large 10 inch claws. Able to exert bite force roughly equivalent to a nile crocodile (Roughly 5000psi), and has claws as sharp as surgical scalpels.


The main body is of a mostly humanoid shape. The exceptions are long blade-like claws that extend at around 2ft, and a maw that varies from vaguely human teeth to large sharp jaws. Both have great strength and have an easier time slashing/biting through common civilian and commercial grade metal, and have more trouble with more durable industrial, military, and Tinker metal.
His changer form has an exoskeleton with Level III ballistic protection, though gunshots are still painful and cause bruising underneath. Stab/slash resistance is on par with fine chainmail mesh. Changer form weighs about 1051lbs.


Every part is already hard to see besides the claws and teeth, but once in motion the gas seems to become even more invisible. If running or doing high activity, then it’ll be fully invisible to the naked eye.
Possesses significant strength, able to strike, slash, and lift about as well as a Grizzly bear (max he can lift is ~1000lbs). And after building up speed can reach sprinting speeds at about 31mph at maximum, excelling at climbing and parkour, as his claws allow great traction even on vertical surfaces, so long as the structure can support his weight.


Clothing and other foreign objects can be opted to not be shifted with the Breaker form. This allows the option of taking or giving items to others and easy clothing changing. It is difficult to hold non Breaker converted objects, semi-awkwardly holding them in the claws or jaw.
Howler is capable of smelling as well as a Bloodhound (Around 12.4 miles), Seeing as well as a dragonfly with equivalent 360° vision (Has over 20k lenses to process vision), and hearing as well as a moth (Up to 300kHz). With Howler retaining these senses even outside his changer form, except for the 360° vision.  


''Weaknesses:'' The longer that there is no motion the quicker the body will start to become more visible, eventually reverting the Breaker state if not careful.
Howler's changer form has organs in its chest that generate a billowing cloud of a gas that extends about two (2) to eight (8) feet from its body. This gas is breathable like oxygen, with a feint taste of copper. And has three (3) modes that can be toggled at will by Howler.


Is faintly detectable by ultraviolet and sensitive motion sensors, but not thermal or infrared.
'''Mode 1:''' Translucent as standard oxygen.


Difficulty interacting or moving with other gasses and air born substances such as smoke.
'''Mode 2:''' Thick and black like smoke from a tire fire.


''Side powers:'' Once in Breaker state; can smell akin to a bloodhound, hear akin to a Moth, and see akin to a dragonfly. Outside of Breaker state, has a weaker but notable version of those senses. Along with some minor agility and strength enhancement.
'''Mode 3:''' Translucent as standard oxygen, but hides living organisms and any held equipment. Making Howler himself Invisible, but with very slight movement distortions (Not unlike the antagonist in the 1987 film ''’Predator’''.) With the distortions being far far more noticeable with people other than Howler, but still of some use when standing still or moving slowly.
 
Going into breaker state takes Howler around a few seconds. Toggling modes is instant, but it takes a second for the gas to change as well as be expelled.
 
Eyes, Teeth and claws can glow various colors, toggled on or off, separately from the fog toggle.
 
Any clothing Howler wears warps into the exoskeleton of the breaker state. Body armor only provides a thin layer of support compared to the breaker state’s natural armor.
 
While the naked eye can potentially detect minor movement distortions, ultraviolet cameras can more easily spot these distortions and ripples, with sensitive motion sensors doing the same. However, infrared does not interact at all.
 
Anything that could blow away thick fog like a large turbine or strong winds can also blow away the gas in all 3 modes.
 
He cannot communicate normally within the breaker state. His voice comes out as hollow wails and bellows. He can concentrate on making it sound like a voice, although it comes out echoing and erie.


Can jump and glide for a form of pseudo-flight. Has a difficult time in high winds, but can cling to walls by embedding the claws.

Backstory

Life for Jason was always average. Everyday is another near death experience, cape fights, criminals, and even the yearly Endbringer appearance that has hit him twice in his life. His only help has been his long time best friend, they’ve gone through it all together. Survived.

For a few years now the two haven’t been connected, so when Jason decided to try to reconnect with his friend, he couldn’t really find his friend. Something found him, though. Through constant searching on the web for his friend and even curious searching for power, he ended up getting a call from DeepDIVE.

Months of strange favors and jobs, became years of morally questionable actions. Eventually, Jason got to the final step, getting a power for a sacrifice. His journey started with trying to find his friend, so he sacrifices that goal. His curiosity and memories of ever having anyone support him has gone. Now it's just a drive for survival.
