Wait... 4? Where are the other two??
They're in the intro comic... XP I got lazy... again, more on that later XP


Evo's ears are malleable. They can stretch, expand, twist, flex, soften, harden, and change shape. They're almost like a form of liquid. Should they take damage, Evo's ears are capable of almost immediately regenerating themselves. The way I draw them, particularly for fight scenes, I mean to suggest that they act as a second set of arms/hands, even going so far as to (try to) indicate which ear is which by marking it with the appropriate "thumb." He can also consume/absorb prey through his ears.

Only his ears possess these abilities though. Evo is capable of changing his body as well, but this is a process which normally occurs slowly over time. Immediate changes "can" be made following the absorption of new genetic material, but these quick-fix alterations are normally temporary. For the most part, the rest of his body is fairly vulnerable. He is capable of healing himself, but no nowhere near the degree of speed in which his ears regenerate.

His body is durable and fairly strong, but not all that great by most standards. In short, he really isn't built for combat... not yet at least. His ears allow him to excell in battle, but otherwise he has no particularly useful abilities other than heightened senses which allow him a better chance of dodging attacks and then reacting/counteracting with his ears.

I did give him one other ability which was sort of thrown in last minute... it's a move that my current human incarnation of my "self-character" has, called "Unlimited Restrict" which essentially freezes time. This was added as a desperation technique. The move consumes too much energy to be used constantly or for long periods of time. Also, in regards to Evo's use of it, being non-combat oriented in nature, he uses it more for analytical purposes... like when he wants to study something in detail, but doesn't have the time or needs the object to hold still for better viewing or whatever the case may be. So the basic idea was that, even though he has this powerful technique, he wouldn't actually use it to "win a fight" or "pull himself out of the frying pan(IE- to save himself in the event of certain death being upon him)." Rather he would merely use it to pause the battle for a moment so that he could better analyze the situation and then continue from there. So... yeah, overpowered ability BUT used by a character who lacks the personality and/or training to use it effectively for combat. So I felt it evened out. XP

I considered giving him ice powers at one point, but decided against it. XP


Oh yeah, and those "spots" are only on the "inside" part of the ear, not the outside... so this was meant to help indicate which side of the ears was being shown.

Heh, and thinking about it... it's kind of funny... I only have digital images of Evo. I've never actually drawn him by hand. Not once. ^.^;
