Acid Immunity

Gavin cannot be harmed by acids of any strength.

Acidic Blood

Gavin's blood has turned acidic. It is not as dangerous as true xenomorph blood, but a shed drop still eats a small hole in anything it lands on.

Mindstream Communication

The ability to communicate with any xenomorph/xenodragon in his vicinity.

Psionics

Gavin possesses powerful psionic abilities, a natural but latent talent which was increasingly brought to the fore with each new xenodragon he bonded and further empowered by the DNA Reflex. He can communicate with the hive-mind of his bonds with thoughtless ease, even preferring the wordless flow of emotions to verbal communication. He also possesses the psychic power to mentally dominate his entire hive at once, though he no longer "echoes" at unprotected minds the way he once used to. Finally, though he prefers not to extend his psionics to anyone but his hive, he can get a sense of the minds of those around him, speak telepathically, and strike at other with the strength of his mental presence.

His teeth and toenails have the chrome-looking appearance common to xenodragons and xenomorphs alike, but these are still mild among his changes. Much more drastically, his arms from mid-bicep down are covered with the glossy black hide and armor of a xenomorph, and though he still only has a human's five fingers, four of them have partially merged (pinky to ring finger and middle finger to index). His feet have begun to go a similar process via mutation, shifting his stance slightly digitigrade, and though not yet visible through his clothing, the individual ridges of his vertebrae are growing more distinct, including small bony nubs that are likely the beginning of dorsal spines.

Despite these changes, he still holds to a high standard of dress. His daily wear is a slick suit and tie ensemble, while his casual attire is collared shirts and dress slacks. Just because his body is becoming more and more monstrous doesn't mean his dignity has deteriorated along with it!

Loyal and trustyworthy to his core, Gavin focuses intently on any task presented to him even now. He has been through and survived too much to be rendered aimless by the loss of Star City Station, so though he mourns, his eyes are turned to future horizons. He is the queen of his hive (a term that's become nongendered in his own head, at least) and his authority is unquestioned, while at the same time he loves his myriad bonds and is loved in turn. Even Gavess, his alter-self, feels as natural to him as if he's always been there. Having accepted who he is and what he is capable of he is, perhaps ironically enough, a happier and more amiable person to deal with than he was in times past. At times he can joke more freely and curse a little more fluently, embracing an honest wholeness of emotion. His hive encompasses such a broad gamut of it, after all.

That being said, embracing his xenomorphic aspects has distanced him in degrees from his human ones, and the people skills that onced served him both as a spy and as a Minister have gotten rusty, confounded by the straightforwardness of his hive that he's adapted to. Affections towards people don't come to him as easily as they do towards his bonds and he is, admittedly, a little stupid about recognizing people that care for him.

And that… was a long, long time ago now.
