The characters body instinctively attempts to mimic other people he makes contact with, but sadly is only capable of weak imitation. Still, despite this curse, the character has the capabilityt to maximise it's effectiveness. This power triggers every time he makes any sort of even fleeting contact with another person, for good or ill.
1) Rising attributes: If the character touches another with higher physical attributes (PS, PP, PE and spd) his own attributes attempt to rise to the occasion, each jumping a single point for the touch, plus one extra point at every odd level (2 at level 3, 3 at level 5 etcetera). Each touch lasts 5 minutes per level. If the same subject is touched a second time, and one of the attributes is at least double his current attributes, then it rises again. If the attribute is not at least double the original then the character can benefit from that person only once.
2) Rising SDC. Every touch allows the character to gain a temporary SDC boost equal to 5% of the SDC of anyone he touches. Once again, the character automatically changes on the first touch if the targets SDC is superior to his own, and can only rise again from that same subject if his SDC is twice the characters own. This bonus SDC drops at a rate of 1 every5 minutes.
3) Appearance alteration: The bane of this character's existence. Every contact with another human being causes his current PB to average out with his targets. This is both involuntary AND uncontrolled. Worse it is also long term, taking days to recover from (shifts 1 point towards his normal PB score every day). He will also acquire basic features of targets he has touched. after a day of hanging with Italian gentlemen, The character may find himself gaining swarthy skin, and thick wavy dark hair. even if he was previously a bald albino. Thankfully, once the character has 'evened out' his PB with an individual, he cannot do so again without the passing of at least 3 days.
