Prompt Response: Borgata's strength and dexterity have both improved dramatically ever since he got a parasite, and the longer his parasite stays in place and grows along with him, the stronger and more dexterous he becomes. He is not sure yet what the limit will be or when these improvements will cease because it is still very early on, but this is a welcome change for him and one he is happy about seeing through to its completion at the apex of his powers.

When Borgata was just a little youngling, he wasn't anything super powerful or strong, in fact he was a good bit weaker than some of the other Chicoons and he used to become tired out pretty easily. When the others were racing around and wrestling to establish a pecking order, he would join in a little bit for the fun of it and the social aspect but would quickly become tired out and go retreat to the natural hotsprings so that he could rest in the hot bubbling water and regain his vigor and energy.

Nowadays he has a parasite so the other Chicoons from the encampment are still not ready or willing to make physical contact with him and there is no wrestling to be done at this point in time, but just from his adventuring along he can feel the increased power. Before he used to struggle to climb a tree and would often get stuck on a low branch or else slide his way down to the bottom (one time he actually fell, and that was rather unfortunate but gratefully did not happen again as he learned to grip harder and the parasite helped him with his grip).

These days he can climb a tree from bottom to top, no problem at all and it happens quite easily. Once there he is even able to leap to neighboring trees and has the dexterity to grip them either with his paw or with his tail, and in this way swing from one branch to another. The other Chicoons have joked around and started calling him Tarzan because of this habit, but he has really found some amazing things high up in trees with not the least of them being all kinds of tasty and delicious fruits that he delights in and loves to eat! There have also been feathers to decorate with and also bird eggs, which can be delicious but one day he wants to try and put one into a nest, sit on it for warmth and see if he might be able to hatch it and get a pet bird. The parasite doubts this will work, and its derision echoes in his mind, but that won't stop him from attempting. He justifies it by saying the parasite lived all of its life in a cave before it met him, what could it know of the outside world? Probably not too much.

Borgata is constantly testing the capabilities he has developed and pushing himself to his limit. He's tried seeing how long he can stay underwater (his time is improving there, but much more slowly, and this might just be a result of progressively stronger lung capacity aka practice), and also feels that his vision has gotten a bit better. But now that his paws and tail are more dextrous what he would like to do is begin some crafting and start creating things. He's been weaving bird feathers together to make clothing of sorts, a headdress for Aztec and a pair of cute little wings for Firefly, and they love these gifts, it's really bringing him closer to the community. Everything about Borgata has been getting better since the parasite came around and it was most unexpected but it's a welcome change. Now the Chicoons at the encampment are starting to give him gentle, tentative pats on the back or they will bump noses with him in a friendly way and he so welcomes the contact.

He often touches his parasite with his nose or paw and tells them, "Look, I will come back here tomorrow and he will still be on my tail and only my tail. See? He doesn't move, he doesn't spread, you guys don't have anything to worry about."

To which they simply reply, "We are still learning, we don't know too much about this, and we're not going to take unnecessary risks. Let us be cautious, and take our time, for nothing good comes from rushing and in due time you will see that all is well."

Prompt Response:
When it comes to strength, Junco has always lacked it. But she is known to be quite dexterous instead! She likes to think that the creativity she wields is more amazing than the strength she lacks. It has given her many more options to expand in! A few times she has involved herself in painting rocks, origami art, and even some drawing. But out of all the activities she has tried, the one that she found such enjoyment for was writing! She found that she was quite skilled when it comes to writing down information on things she sees or notices, she has a good eye for the details of every little thing. Her notes and writings however can be a bit...overwhelming, with all the little details thrown into the mix. But when those who read them come across confused, Junco is more than happy to give them a simpler explanation as best she can!
Her strength got a bit of an increase when she found Crew, they were a strong parasite and they had to be for the offer they gave Junco! To replace an entire limb like Crew did would require lots of strength. As Crew noticed that Junco was dexterous, he thought of an idea for the both of them - that idea being the game rock, paper, scissors. From time to time, when they are both bored they'll play that game between themselves, they have a lot of fun! The game gives them both a way to show their skills together while both having a great time during it. So in a way, Crew gave Junco a little bit more strength which boosts her overall confidence in herself. In the end, they both succeed and make a great team in any task that they encounter going forward!

Prompt Response:
As for the dexterity side, Sanhata possesses more-than-average flexibility, which helps him be a sneaky and swift rogue. With this flexible body, he can perform double backflips while dodging multiple arrows when he's in his peak condition.
On the contrary, his strength is just barely enough to make him do all those flashy evasive movements. So if he ever gets dragged into a 1 on 1 combat situation, he usually prefers to run away and hide as fast as he can.

But after Tiyazi infected his right shoulder, it made his right arm a lot wiggly than a normal limb would. And... most of the time, it's not really helpful at all. Sometimes his shoulder bends too much- which interferes with his normal walking cycle and makes him stumble to the ground.

The only positive effect he likes about this overly flexible right shoulder?
He can now grab something from behind while challenging difficult yoga moves. It seems almost useless, but this could be useful someday.

Eve has become quite dexterous over the years. In terms of her skills, she may not be the strongest but she is smart and knows how to use her skills to get what she wants. Dexterity is the base of most of her skills as a thief. She's even has gotten in some pretty good practice with a bow and arrow. From lockpicking to flexibility to ease in and out of places, Eve knows her away around and how to use her dexterity to its best use. What she lacks in the strength department she makes up for cunning and work arounds. Cant fight her way to a safe? She can easily sneak into and pick it with her lockpick set. Ease of entry has alwasy been easy to her.

Prompt Response: he’s rather strong, but dexterity on the other hand… well he’s too clumsy to have a good dexterity. Poor boy would trip and stumble if he lifted a sword. But his parasite, it’d probably thrive much better! It takes up most of the heavy lifting on Claecs behalf.

I believe Kureru to be very strong. Not just physically, but mentally as well. He never lets his failures hold him back from achieving what he set out to do. In a way I admire that drive he has. I guess he’s the reason I kept doing my magic studies. As for dexterity, he is very quick minded. Being a wizard, I think it is a must to be quick somewhat with your hands and mind. Kureru is pretty good at both. Maybe even better than me honestly.

As for the parasite, that Kureru has named Yami, they seem to be pretty dexterous. They always help him move or they find things on their own quickly. Do I think they are strong too? Oh yes I do. Yami is apart of Kureru after all, so in a sense they share each other's strength.

Growing up Ambrose always felt like he was the weakest link in the group. He was never outstandingly good at something or was he ever able to complete something successfully. He always felt liek he dragged everyone down. Ambrose had just accepted this, it was his mindset and it went unchanged. Fixed Mindsets are bad, Amrbose knew this but how was he suppose to think differently when there was no proof. He could never do ANYTHING and he wasnt skilled at anything. He was never strong or overpowered, this frustrated Ambrose. He had always wished for somethign different. The only good thing he had going for him was his attribute for always adventuring.
As Ambrose continued to explore the woods growing up he got into mishaps, which led him to Delorik. Delorik gave Ambrose confidence. Always talking him into trying hard and exploring or experiencing new things. Delorik hated to see Ambrose destest himself. It was almost as harmful as physical damage. Ambroses parasite tried his hardest, always, to make sure Ambrose got the best of both worlds. Adventuring and a new found strength. Delorik always helped in the awful situations, the ones that were hard for Ambrose to escape. Delorik was extremely powerful and added to Ambroses confidence.
Ambrose always assumed he was horrible at everything. He always picked things up to try but it didnt last long. When things didnt go in the way Ambrose wanted them to he just gave up and never looked back. All he knew is he would good at adventuring and finding cool things in the woods. Shiny rocks and cool leaves, different tracks to compainions and how the world felt around him. He was just good at those things. Ambrose never saw it as a strength, but perhaps strength didnt have to mean physical attributes. His strength was discovery.

Prompt Response: Riley is... Not very strong physically. They never have been. They are one of the smallest and shortest of their peers, and even with Par giving them a bit of additional strength, they will likely never be considered particularly strong. When it comes to raw strength, Riley is just not the kind of Chicoon that would come to mind. Their magical strength, on the other hand, is actually quite impressive! Riley's intense focus as they learn new spells would be difficult to match, and the result is that their magic manifests very powerfully! So, while Riley might not be able to lift heavy weights, they can typically resolve most issues that require strength using their magic instead.
Now, when it comes to dexterity, Riley is the kind of Chicoon you would think of! Their size, while negatively impacting their physical strength, helps a lot with agility. Riley has great reflexes as well, and is therefore a natural at anything involving a lot of running and dodging. Their hand-eye coordination is pretty good too, and they have become quite skilled at things like sewing and repairing things... And also playing darts. Par really likes darts, and so the duo end up playing it quite frequently!
