Description:
BACKGROUND
Born: 21 Aug 1986 in Sawai Madhopur, Sawai Madhopur District, Rajasthan, India.
How he discovered his powers is a secret he guards closely. The fact that he IS Rakshasa is a secret he guards even more closely and to this point no one suspects him of being the Tiger Man. He uses his shape-shifting abilities to maintain the appearance that is familiar to his family and friends, even if it is no longer his natural body.
POWERS/TACTICS
He IS a tiger man, complete with claws, fangs and a tail and like a true rakshasa he is able to shift his form into just about any human form he wants. He cannot imitate a particular person but could probably pass at a distance or in poor lighting. One thing he doesn't seem to be able to alter are his eyes, which are yellow like a tiger's. He can also, like a Rakshasa, read minds but to a very limited degree that being surface thoughts only.

His shape-shifting abilites allow him to move freely in just about any situation as it includes what he is wearing as well as his body. He tends to use a form that would most be invisible to others, a street begger, a suited business man, a drunk in a bar, whatever blends in with the surrounding. In 'tiger' form he is formitable and deadly if necessary.


He has a great deal of experience in First Aid/Paramedics having trained for some time in Emergency Medicine. He is often the first person people will call in case of an injury. His exceptional strength, the true measure is not known to even his family and friends, is a partly the reason for his constant employment making rugs. Not only can he lift and move heavy burdens with ease, but his manual dexterity makes him a prized rugmaker.
PERSONALITY/MOTIVATION
Rakshasa is more your friendly neighborhood Tiger Man but is publicized as an Indian national hero and it is probable that if asked, he would answer a call for help from the goverment.
CAMPAIGN USE
He has an affinity for tigers of all types. This extends to all types of cats.
