Was inspired by these videos/games.

- Can create life (animal or plant) using his calligraphy brush

- To use his power, he will quickly draw out what he wants to create in the air- ink will magically flow from his brush

- The animals created have the same strength as the animal they are imitating

- The plants are the same size as the real thing e.g. he cannot make a sakura tree as big as a mountain

- The creatures follow his command

- The animals and plants can be identified by black ink appearance, like in these pics

- Can also fix things with his brush, such as broken bridges or mills, but sadly cannot fix broken bones or broken hearts :(((((

- Weakness of ability is that he cannot create mythical creatures (e.g. dragons) or extremely large creatures (e.g. whales). Dogs, tigers, etc. are fine.

- His creations are also temporary- time limit is ten minutes

- On the other hand, there is no limit on how many creations he can make-he can create a whole army of animals if he so desires. Or a very large garden lmao

- If he creates fruit trees, they will bear fruit the minute they are created, though the fruit is also fake. Unless you want to taste ink, do not try to eat the fruit from these trees.

- If you touch his creations, some black ink will rub off onto your hands, but it is not harmful.

Backstory:

- He had no siblings

- He was a lonely child

- Due to his quiet and shy nature, he had trouble making friends

- He also preferred the company of animals rather than humans

- So he would talk to his imaginary friends instead

- Cute animals he painted using his brush and cut out of paper

- This developed into the ability he has today
