==Bio==
Malakai's gift manifested in puberty. His mother was "a mean drunk, but only in private" and during an altercation with her he shifted into canine form. She was drunk and Mal - unable to figure out how to change back - panicked. It was a deadly combination.

Mal's father covered up the death and pretended it was caused by a wild animal. To protect his son he forbade Mal from shifting or telling anyone about his gift. Afraid of getting "stuck" again Mal practiced in private, and learned free running to explain how he was able to get places most folks couldn't - and to get back down when he was in human form.

==Power Detail ==

::Rank: Novice| Power Points: Special | Range: Self | Duration: one day (Fantasy Companion variant)
