Gift: Human Squirrel Hybrid Traits
Power Details: Crispin shares many visual similarities with squirrels, including extended front teeth, claws, stronger leg muscles, and a large bushy tail. Crispin’s traits go beyond visual, giving him enhanced jumping height and distance, while his claws are designed to make it easier for him to climb various obstacles.
Limitations and Drawbacks: Crispin’s front teeth never stop growing and the first sign of this is lisping his words and difficulty eating, forcing him to file them down whenever they get too long. To maintain his energy Crispin eats constantly, and takes small naps throughout the day. During the winter his metabolism slows down, causing him to be lethargic and sluggish. He is red-green colorblind.
Appearance: At 5’7” and weighing 156 lbs, Crispin is pear shaped and a little bit on the pudgier side, not helped by his naturally endomorphic build or poor diet habits. Whilst he tries to counteract his visual paunch with upper body workouts and more cardio, he hasn’t found any luck so far. Crispin is Caucasian, with rather pale skin, and freckles dotting his cheeks and shoulders. His strong jaw and high cheekbones are contrasted by a softer brow, blue upturned eyes, and a small button nose. His ears are pointy. His lips are thin, and Crispin takes great care to ensure his buck teeth don’t protrude from them, though they’re always prominent the moment he speaks or smiles. Because of this, and the fact his mom is a dentist, he takes great care in his teeth, making sure to brush, floss, and whiten them twice a day. Crispin’s naturally brown hair is cut into a shoulder length surfer dude emo style hybrid, with the bangs combed up and over in front of the left side of his face being dyed in ice blue stripes. His large bushy tail also has the same ice blue stripes dyed into its pattern. He speaks in a thick Louisiana accent whilst talking at a rather fast pace, causing him to stutter and slur his words.
On the day of the abduction Crispin was wearing an outfit that’s considered the usual for his fashion sense. For his top, he wore a long sleeved cobalt blue under armor shirt, underneath a black high collar snood T-shirt, with an asymmetrical zipper going from the right hand side of the snood, and going down and stopping just underneath the right side of his chest, flanked by buttoned straps protecting along the outside of the zipper. For legwear, Crispin wore black and cobalt blue striped athletic leggings underneath a black pair of techwear cargo-harem pants, being baggy along the thighs then thinning out and stopping just below the knees. For footwear, he wore a pair of black and white Jordans, with cobalt blue trims and black and blue striped shoelaces.
For accessories, Crispin wore a light coating of black eyeliner along his eyes, a pair of black and white fingerless tactical motocross gloves, and a black messenger bag with white tron stripes, and the Kanji for ‘Fujiwara’ along the strap. He also painted his claws black and cobalt blue.
Background:
- Crispin-Kelley Cuyler was born in Shreveport, Louisiana to Early and Maude Cuyler. Starting off, Crispin grew up in a lower middle class household, with Early doing interstate truck driving, and Maude working on her dentistry degree.
- Crispin spent most of his time playing outdoors. Despite that, and because of his family’s work routines, they frequently dined on fast food for convenience. Because of this Crispin was rather heavyset until middle school.
- Due to the combination of his Gift’s appearance and his weight, Crispin was frequently bullied growing up. In his way of reacting to this, Crispin was a trouble maker in class and would frequently pick on kids weaker than him.
- At the beginning of Crispin’s time in middle school, Maude got her degree in dentistry and found a job opening in Bend, Oregon. The move was a welcome change of pace, along with moving them up into comfortably middle class by midway through high school.
- At his new school, Crispin was having trouble fitting in until he met Alan Melnyk. The two shared similar interests and enabled each other’s bad habits.
- At this time, Crispin also grew more aware of his general appearance and made great pains to lose weight and get into shape, something his parents didn’t help with. At Alan’s advice, he also thought about his choice of attire, going through various phases until he found the one he liked most.
- During eighth grade, Crispin and Alan heard rumors of a kid with the ability to shoot bullets out of his fingers and saw an opportunity. Upon finding the individual, Noah Davis, they pestered him into showing them his gift. Noah refused, and an angry Crispin tried to force him, only for Noah’s power to discharge and geld Crispin with a graze.
- Despite his family having insurance, the combined doctors bills and testosterone supplements to compensate for Crispin’s injury had caused financial struggles that effect the family to this day.
- Despite Crispin’s parents suing for damages, the court declared the incident to be accidental, with Crispin mostly at fault due to a CCTV camera recording.
- Because of these combined factors, Noah is Crispin’s first target when it comes to picking on someone, as Crispin blames him for the injury he received, the issues that surround it, and the rumors that followed, affecting his reputation.
- Academically, Crispin is mediocre. Due to a combination of lack of effort and lacking in understanding, Crispin’s grades are averaging around C’s or D’s with the occasional B. The only class he really excels at is PE, from a mix of his climbing abilities and taking track and field as an elective.
- When he gets out of high school, Crispin plans to get into cosmetology, as found an interest with cutting and styling his hair and he’s the one who styled Alan’s. As of now he sells his service to anyone who’d pay, particularly for fades or dying.
- Crispin has a tendency to place bets with Alan and others for money, usually disguised as chance or challenges. However, Crispin rarely takes part without the odds stacked in his favor, and while most likely he won’t cheat perse, he plays with a “house always wins” attitude.
- Crispin’s reputation in school is as a bully and a misfit, frequently being known to disrupt class or prank another student. Despite this, he rarely gets in trouble at school outside a detention or two due to the majority of his pranks being done outside school grounds. He does this in a mix of finding it funny and to get a laugh from Alan, who enables his behavior.

Conclusion: "With that Gift and attitude, this kid is practically begging his classmates to declare open season on him. Not that I'd complain about having an entitled brat like this in my sights. He wouldn't last long then." - Shark
