After putting in extra study within marine biology, Eric has taken on more of a "mad scientist" outlook on it. With some experimentation on only himself, because he wouldn't dare bring his pet Terry nor any animal to harm, he was able to develop an innate method of altering his biology with a more aquatic physique-- one that allows him to shapeshift and do many new things. He can grow gills to breathe underwater, sprout the shells of a crab across his body to protect himself, or all manner of possible things when it comes to the animals that live under the sea.
Of course, it not only takes some time to create the change, but it also wears off after about a month passes. However, at will, Eric is capable of simply "turning it off" and reverting the changes before the time passes.

Yeah, that’s right—I fire silver needles from my palm. Custom tech, not some off-the-shelf gadget. Designed it myself because, let’s face it, traditional weapons are predictable. Predictability gets you killed. These needles? Fast, silent, precise. Like me. Coated in a special alloy—silver core, hollow tips, adaptable for toxins if needed. They don’t just stop threats; they erase them.
Why silver? Because you never know what’s out there. People, sure—but sometimes it’s not just people. I’ve seen things that’d make you question reality. Silver works on more than flesh, trust me.
The mechanism’s built into a reinforced gauntlet under my sleeve—pressure-triggered, no external tells. Perfect for when things go south fast. No fumbling, no hesitation. One flick of the wrist, and the problem’s solved.
Paranoid? Maybe. Prepared? Absolutely. That’s the difference between walking away from a job and getting carried out in a bag.
