[Abilities]

Hamish is able to combine creatures; each one needs two of three main ingredients, plant, fungi, animal. The bigger, more complicated the creature the more it takes out of him. He has zero control over his powers and when it manifests it tends to come in more and more complicated. At the time of his arrival at the Huntry House he has made a dozen creatures including the sleek white cat with the hibiscus flower he has travelled with.


[History]

Born to a pair of elite witch hunters, Hamish was not what they wanted. He was a kind, trusting young person who had red hair. The types of witches that the Meikle family hunts are all born with red hair and a spark of magic. Raised with this power secret, Hamish only learned about his magic when he accidentally made his first creature, a mouse made with grass fur. It was beautiful and terrifying, but it scared Hamish. He knew that witches were aligned with the devil and that he would be killed by his family. There was no doubt in his mind that he would not be spared.

He ran quickly and hid where he could. Paranoia took him; he longed to see his family as much as he feared the same. The Huntry House represents a place he can hide and perhaps a place where he can learn to us his powers properly. He is reeling from losing his family, becoming what he hated, and the responsibility of creating new creatures.
