Powers:

Gift of Tongues: Proudstar posseses the innate mastery of language both in the written and spoken forms including the language of beasts.

-Zoopathy: Proudstar is able to directly communicate with an animal's mind by linking his spirit to theirs, in doing so he is able to bid them to action and perceive the world through their senses.

Super Human Physique: Proudstar's natural abilities are greater than that of a baseline human's peak physical abilites. He can lift five to ten tons, run at speeds of 30 to 40 mph, and has enhanced durability, agility, and stamina.

-Super Human Senses

Harness Totem: Proudstar gets his codename from the original nature of his power, the abiltity to harness the spirits of his totem animals to gain attributes of those animals. By doing so he was able to augment his own physical abilities further to enhance them temporarily. Depending on the nature of the spirit animal he chose to harness his physical abilities would be agumented in accordance. The spirit of the Bear radically increased his strength and durability to class 80. While the wolf offered a strength of class 25 but increased his running speed to 50-60 mphs. He has since learned to harness the spirit of any animal to gain unique attributes from them.

-Skinwalking: In addition to harnessing these attributes, Totem can take on the physical body of these beasts allowing him to shift fully into any animal. He can shift forms without requiring him to take on a human body but the strain of repeated shifts runs the risk of exhausting him. Proudstar will often remain in these animal forms for extended periods prefering them to his own natural body. He is able to maintain these forms even while asleep although sudden unconsciousness causes him to revert to his normal form

-Flight


History: In the Wastes of what was once Arizona, a collection of the remnants of what remained of the various native tribes had formed into a single unit. They did not have a name amongst them, they simply were the tribe. These were the people of James Proudstar and they were his youth. When he was eleven years old, the Tribe would fall onto the radar of the Empire when they traversed to close to a territory near the Imperial Megacity that was once Los Angeles. Many of the tribe were slain, and those who were found to posses the mutant gene were taken into the Empire. The remaining tribesmen and women were forced into the human ghettos as was the way. Among the mutants was James Proudstar, the mutants of the Tribe were sent to Neo-X to be properly tested and catalogued into the Imperial database. And Proudstar would be enrolled into the Imperial Institute as he showed a natural affinity for his gifts that they felt the tuttelage of the Imperial Institute could truly unlock.
