He is very considerate of others and always tries to help or encourage those who need it.  He can be very earnest and approaches any task with some eagerness, even if the task itself may prove daunting.  He makes an effort to be friendly to other people and displays loyalty to those he's closest to.  With an adventurous spirit, he's willing to give (almost) anything a try.<br/>Likes: Action Comedies, Kung Fu films, a good Mystery, conspiracy theories, Cryptozoology<br/>Dislikes: Animal Cruelty, injustice, corruption<br/>Psychological Quirks: Has a strong sense of justice and can be surprisingly stubborn about it.<br/><br/>Backstory: For as long as he could remember, Cameron wanted to be the kind of police officer you saw on TV or in movies.  He was an avid fan of detective dramas and most of the books he read were mystery fiction.  Having grown up on Kung Fu films and Action Movies, he also really wanted to learn martial arts when he was a kid.  At first, his parents planned on signing him up for Karate classes in elementary school at the local youth center, but found a place that taught Southern Shaolin that was close to home.  It was in the same general vicinity of the convenience store they ran, the tuition fee was relatively low (compared to Karate class), and a bunch of their friends' kids went there so... why not?<br/><br/>Cam's powers first manifested when he was in high school... or maybe it happened earlier?  He had always been pretty good with animals (cats, dogs, and the class hamster) ever since he was a kid, but it was in high school when he really noticed that his affinity with animals had become... abnormal.  He found that he was able to control their thoughts and behaviours.  He could easily calm down a barking dog.  Coax a cat out of a tree.  Get birds to sing on command.  One time he accidentally made a colony of ants spell out the lyrics of "Tubthumping".  The really weird stuff started happening when he found himself in the body of a stray cat and sometimes passed by his bedroom window at night.  He could see, hear, smell, touch, and taste everything that the cat did.  Over time, he discovered that he could also control the cat's actions.  One time, while petting his neighbour's dog, he found himself diving deep into the dog's memories.  Through those memories, he discovered a kidnapping that took place the night before.  He memorized the license plate and made an anonymous phone call to the police.  Fortunately, the kidnapped victims were saved before anything really bad could happen to them.  Cam decided to continue developing and using his newfound powers throughout the rest of high school and while at MCU.  He became a sort of amateur sleuth, though most of the time he found himself finding people's lost pets than anything else.  Other times, though, he would find himself in all sorts of trouble ranging from fist fights with local gang members to thwarting outright murders.<br/><br/>As soon as he graduated from MCU with a degree in Zoology, he applied and enrolled at the local police academy.  He graduated from the academy, worked as the friendly neighbourhood police officer for a few years, and then was promoted to Detective.<br/><hr/><br/>(https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjMyLjAwMDAwMC5RV0pwYkdsMGFXVnouMAAAAAAAAA,,/comic-balloon-new.regular.png)<br/>Talents:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Charismatic: Has a friendly nature about him that makes it easy for others to open up to him about stuff.</li><li>Stealthy: Seems to be naturally adept at sneaking around and staying hidden from sight.</li><li>Perceptive: Has always been naturally perceptive, being able to pick up on things other don't.</li><li>Parkour: Picking up this hobby in high school, it has proven to be quite useful during his time as a patrol officer.</li></ul><br/>Skills:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Martial Arts: Adept at Hand-to-Hand combat, he first learned Southern Shaolin's five animal styles and the 12 animal-forms of Xingyiquan before combining them with more modern forms of fighting such as boxing, Krav Maga, and standard police training techniques.</li><li>Firearms Training: Became proficient with firearms over the course of his career as a police officer.</li><li>Detective Work: Knows how to work a case whether it's through research, examining a crime scene, interviewing suspects, or tailing someone.</li><li>Zoology: Apparently got his BA in Zoology before entering the police academy.</li></ul><br/>Power:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Animal Taming: Animals seem to automatically like him upon first meeting him.  Even the unfriendliest of dogs will let him pet them and the most vicious of cats won't scratch or bite him if he picks them up.  He's never gotten a single mosquito bite since high school and birds like perching on his arms and shoulders.  If he ever falls into the ocean, sharks would come save him.</li><li>Animal Scrying: As long as Cam is able to sense the target animal, he can establish a telepathic connection and tap into the animal's senses.  He can see what they see, hear what they hear, feel what they feel, etc.  He can even gain access to senses that humans are normally incapable of.  While he's tapped into the animal's senses, he also gains access to their memories, thoughts, and emotions.  He can further use that animal's senses to tap into the minds of even more animals.  Using the animals' senses to sense themselves count, so the connection remains even if his human body no longer senses them.</li><li>Mind Control: Cam is able to control a large variety of animals from insects to birds to cats to bears.  He must be able to sense the animals he's trying to control whether through his own natural human senses or indirectly through another animal.  If he issues a specific command, the command will persist even after he no longer senses the controlled animal.  At the moment, he is able to control the equivalent of several swarms of insects, a flock of birds, a stampede of elephants, or a pack of wolves (around a dozen?) at a time.  The more complicated the animals' brain structure, the more difficult it would be to control them.  For this reason, this power does not work on humans.</li><li>Animalistic Mindset: While tapped into an animal's mind, Cam can adopt that animal's instincts and behaviours.  Basically, he can make himself think like an animal, potentially becoming more tolerant to pain and more alert to danger.  Adopting this mindset can also provide some defensive measures against psychic attacks.</li></ul><br/>Advantages: Cameron can basically take control of any animal he can see, hear, touch, taste, or smell.  Once he's taken control of the animal, he can use that animal's senses to further take control of even more animals, essentially creating a network of mind-linked animals.  He can not only control them, but he can essentially become them by tapping into their thoughts, feelings, and memories.  Using the animals' senses to sense themselves count, so the connection remains even if his human body no longer senses them.  In addition, experiencing the lives of animals has proven to be useful in honing his skills in animal-style martial arts, especially when he taps into their respective mindsets.<br/>Disadvantages: If the animal he's tapped into the senses of gets hurt, he also gets hurt.  He can break off the connection any time he wants to, but if caught unawares, he might find himself experiencing the pain of getting squashed by a newspaper, being run over by a car, or shot out of the air by a hunting rifle.  He can also only take control of an animal he can sense whether it's with his own senses or with the senses of an animal he controls.  This does not work over the phone or via live video feed.  Maintaining control of multiple animals can be very mentally taxing, especially if he's also tapping into their sensory input.  He can control one animal (dog or cat) for several hours or a large group of them for about one hour before he starts feeling like he's going to pass out.  While humans are technically animals, his powers do not work on them.<br/><br/>Weapon(s): In addition to his police-issued Glock 22, Cam also owns a M1911 and a Sig Sauer P226.<br/>Gear: MPCD issued police badge and bulletproof vest.<br/><br/>Connections:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Blaine Oscilla - Partner at MCPD's homicide unit </li><li>Samantha Mary Crouse - Went to high school with her and have been friends since her first day of school.  They knew about each other's powers back then.  They also in touch for two years after graduation before Sam enlisted in the Marines.  Cam was informed by her parents that she had been killed in action.</li><li>Makoto Zenitsu / Mai Itsuki - Went to high school together.  Cam tried to help her, but they drifted apart after she started hanging out with delinquents and quit
