Riku's brush with an alien parasite left him with an extraordinary gift: the ability to completely reshape his physical form. With about a minute of intense concentration, he can alter everything from his height and facial features to his apparent sex and even clothing. This makes him an unparalleled infiltrator, able to blend seamlessly into any environment. However, the power isn't without its drawbacks. Riku is vulnerable while transforming, requiring a safe space and a minute to change: the disguise, while convincing, isn't indestructible – damage can cause it to fail. Despite these limitations, Chameleon's Masquerade offers Riku unprecedented versatility in his missions, allowing him to impersonate specific individuals, blend into crowds, or access restricted areas. In Riku's hands, this power becomes more than just a tool – it's an art form, a perfect expression of his adaptability in a dangerous, ever-changing world.
