This EPS is an orphan. However, most makoatls born with powers end up that way, anyway.
This pup is much more sinister than they seem.
One look into their eyes, and you're at their mercy.

This pup was born with the power of mind control.
They can only control one person at a time, and eye contact must be maintained the entire time.
As they grow older, perhaps they'll hone this ability and it will grow stronger.
For now, though, those are the limitations on their power.

To win this pup, you're going to have to do a few things.
First of all, you'll be explaining how they use their power.
-Do they use it for good, or for evil? Petty things, or the greater good/personal gain?
Second, you'll demonstrate them using this power. This can be shown through an art piece, or a writing section.
And lastly, you'll have to express their relationship with another mako. This can be done through an art piece (comic is fine) or a writing section.
-Nonowner? Don't want to use your makos? You can use one of mine, pm me about it.

Name
Dormeo

Name Meaning [Extra 1]
Dormeo is Latin for sleep, rest, or fall asleep. I chose this name for him because it explains a side effect that often happens with his victims after they are released from his command. They are often sleepy, amnesic, and fall asleep right after Dormeo lets them go, which can sometimes be a setback to the range of his power.

How the power is used
Dormeo uses his power in sinister ways. He is greedy and needy and will use his abilities to his own wants and not to others. However, he doesn't use them in public for such dark deeds. When other makos are around him, he acts as though he has never done anything wrong, and will use them for good things if he absolutely needs to. He only uses it for his own personal needs and works for nobody.


A Word In Private [Extra 2][Example 2 of him using his power]
It had been a rotten day. Those stupid makoatls had done nothing but annoy him all day. Nevertheless, Dormeo was meant to be nice. Be nice and shy just like any other day. Didn't people get bored of him being like this all the time? Dormeo sure did. All day every day just doing the same, cheerful, kind things, and it didn't benefit anybody. It didn't benefit him, that's for sure. Sighing to get some of his annoyance out, the male looked up at the makos who were asking him to swim up to the school of fish from the back.

They were out on a hunting trip. His 'friends' had volunteered him (along with them) to catch fish for the retired makoatls of the area, and Dormeo was in no place to say no. They had looked through his schedule, and when he tried to lie his way out of it, they put the fact in his face and dragged him along. All Dormeo could do was whimper and let them take him to the hunting grounds. Or would the correct word be fishing? It sure felt like hunting, for they were like wolves going up after deer. One would come up from behind and scare the fish into swimming in one direction. Then, two other makos would close in from the sides to get the fish in a shorter position, and then a group of makos would come in from above and catch the fish little by little. It was a lot more work than they actually needed just to fish a small school, but Dormeo wasn't just going to go up to them and tell them they were wrong. It wasn't the type of mako that everybody thought he was.

Usually, Dormeo had to do to get his meal was look the fish in the eye. Then he could have all of them follow him home and eat them with no teamwork needed. Maybe that was what the makos were trying to achieve? Teamwork? Wow, that was stupid. Now it wasn't even clear if they wanted to get more fish or build up teamwork, because you couldn't do both at the same time.

Either way, they went on with their stupid plan. The thing is, the two makos next to Dormeo kept on closing in too much, which made him uncomfortable. You see, Dormeo is slightly claustrophobic. This didn't apply to most small spaces, but when it came to having two makos with powerful shark tails right in front of you, it got a bit nasty. This made Dormeo back up from the two makos and break their little formation, which got him blamed for their loss of fish. This day just got even worse, and what's more, he got no words in his defence. Right now, the only thing on his mind was to pay them back, and in more than one way.

After being scolded, the group ended things 'for today'. Dormeo remained sitting in the sand and looking at the ground as the area quickly began to clear up. However, right before the last two makos (who happened to be the two that had gotten him into trouble) left, Dormeo finally spoke, "Hey... Umm... c-could I have a word in private with you two, please..?" he asked shyly. The two makos, unaware of the danger he posed, agreed with a simple "Sure" and followed him to the little cave that he so often went to.

All the way there, Dormeo had kept his head low and his eyes on the ground, while the two followed him with a slightly puzzled expression. As soon as they arrived in the cave, Dormeo stopped. The cavern grew silent, and one of the two behind him began to speak, "So.. What did you w-" he was cut off by Dormeo's voice. He no longer sounded like a lost child. "Do you know why I broke formation?" He asked, still looking at the ground. The makos opened their mouths as if to defend themselves, but they were interrupted once more as Dormeo had been when he was trying to explain. "Because you two broke it first. You closed in on me like I was the prey. Were you two trying to hit me?" he asked, growling.

The makos were baffled. They hadn't been expecting him to be like that. At that moment, Dormeo looked into the two makos' eyes, and they were switched onto a seemingly brainless mode. "Now, to make it up to me, you're going to catch me every single one of the fish that got away, do you understand?" He asked. They had no choice- they went on and fished. As soon s they were finished, it was already midnight, and Dormeo released them from his spell. They were exhausted, physically pushed to their limits as they tried to catch every single fish for their temporary master.

With a grin, the male looked down at the two makos that were now sleeping on the floor of the cave next to a pile of fish. "Sleep tight," he said to them quietly, before swimming away from the cave with half of the catch still inside it.


Them using the power
Those idiots.

Everybody was watching, and murmurs lined the bottom of the reef. Two little disobedient makos were playing happily not too far out to sea, and coming quickly towards them was a large boat. Larger than any little fishing boat that had ever come across this area. Larger than any mako ever seen. Maybe even larger than the reef itself- and nobody was bound to stop it.
The pups were bound to notice the danger sooner or later, and so they did. The nightmare boat was after them, and they had no way out. With no knowledge of the situation whatsoever, the little pups tried to out-swim the large ship, but it was not going to halt, nor were the little mako siblings going to get out of there alive.

They were too far for the adults to yell to them, and anybody getting near them was bound to suffer the same fate they were up for. At that very moment of realisation, all makos who knew him turned to Dormeo. The Dormeo pretending to be scared for the pups, but who was truly aching to see the cruise's engine get closer and closer until they were gone. On instinct, Dormeo shrunk away from the eyes looking so expectantly at him and acted as if he had no idea of what they wanted to do.

One of the makos, one that he had met before but didn't quite remember, stumbled rapidly towards him. "Dormeo... You have to help them..!" He was out of breath, but continued to beg the young orphan for help, "Please! Tell them the way..!" With those words, the adult makoatl nodded his head towards a sea arch. There they would be safe, he reckoned. However, Dormeo didn't want to save the pups. No, they annoyed him; he despised them- yet all eyes were on him, now. Usually he would refuse; he would say there was nothing he could do. However... this time, if he said so, his dark nature would be revealed. The exhausted mako's little act had caught everyone's eye, and now the decision was all on Dormeo. Not that he had a choice.

Giving the mako a short, disgusted glare, Dormeo swam a little closer to the pups. His shining coat clearly called their attention, and they turned their heads to look at him and wait for his plan. Of course, the hypnotic male wasn't getting any closer to the ship, as he didn't want to get himself killed, but commanded the two pups to save themselves. "Head towards the arch," were his orders, before he mimicked the mako and nodded towards it. Sure enough, the two pups did as they were told, and swam deep, to the right and into the underwater arch.

When the pups' safety was assured, Dormeo released them from his mercy, and watched as everybody cheered for him. On the outside, he looked cheerful yet baffled as could be, but on the inside he was furious. Those two pups were annoying, and he had been waiting for their 'time' to come for a while now. In fact, for all you know, he may have been the one to set them up for this occasion, except for the part in which he saved their lives. That was uncalled for.


Relationship
Out of the two twins that survived the ship accident, one of them decided to stay with his saviour. After the ship had passed, Blu appeared to be stuck to Dormeo. After the vessel had departed and the twins were safe, Blu was first to swim down and thank Dormeo while his sister went off to her friends to tell them about how it was like to face death in the form of a ship.

As had every other mako, Blu had mistaken Dormeo for a shy and nice makoatl, that is why he went up to him and talked. "Th-thank you for saving me back there..." The young mako said in a grateful tone. Dormeo had never come and spoken to this one personally before, only his sister, so the pup's strangely polar-opposite personality slightly piqued his interest.

"Oh... D-Don't mention it..." Dormeo replied, acting shy and in a slightly awkward way.

When Blu heard his reply, he thought he would make a great friend. He wasn't demanding or scary as he had thought him to be, and they both had a similar personality. He went ahead and built up his confidence to sit down in front of the mako who had saved him and actually start a conversation. With a somewhat confident smile on his face, Blu began, "So, uh... What was that you did back there...?" He asked curiously, having already woken up from his sleepy state and come to have forgotten about just how he had gotten his guts saved.

The question made Dormeo internally frown, already growing a slight grudge against Blu. "Nothing." He replied, almost growling. As soon as he heard his voice, slight shock went over him. This had been a bad enough day, he didn't want to screw up his image in every mako's eyes. Switching back to his innocent image, Dormeo tried to correct himself. "I-I mean... i-it was nothing, really... don't fret about it..." He lowered his head slightly in an apology for snapping at Blu like that - he certainly seemed taken back. "S-Sorry if i come off a bit... strong... That sure was a shock..." He admitted with a bit of a smile at his own words, knowing that if anybody should be in shock, it should be Blu.

"Oh, don't worry, we all have our days... This sure was one heck of an... adventure," he let out a bit of an awkward laugh and then shut himself up, clearing his throat. "So, uh... Y-You saved my life out there..." Blu said quietly, looking at the ground.

Dormeo hadn't been expecting such a confident reply, maybe Blu wasn't as shy as he looked - that was one thing they had in common. "Yeah..." He replied, urging the little mako to go on.

"How should I make it up to you?" Blu asked, finally looking up from the ground to attempt to look Dormeo in the eye. Of course, he wasn't going to allow that, and as soon as he saw Blu's head start to come up, Dormeo averted his look to something far to Blu's side. "Oh.. n-no need! It was what anybody would have done..." Dormeo replied, still looking at the reef besides them.

Subconsciously, Blu looked over there as well, wondering what Dormeo was looking at. It ended up being awkward as he realised there really wasn't much else there other than the wonderful colours of the reef. Yes, it was a wonder to look at, but to its inhabitants it wasn't much of anything new. Immediately, the mako figured that Dormeo was just averting his eyes, and continued on to his somewhat late reply. "Oh... Okay... Well..." Curiously, Dormeo looked over at Blu, whose attention was mostly on the reef now. "Could we at least be friends..?" The pup asked, turning back to his saviour, who quickly turned his head around at Blu's attention. He had never really had a friend before, as nobody satisfied him much. He found them all boring, as setbacks to what he could become with his power, yet Blu was slightly more intriguing. Just the thought of him having a darker nature made Dormeo want to know more, and so, he agreed. With a small nod and a hard to see blush, he agreed.

"Okay..."

And on that day, the two became friends, and good friends as well. Blu was the only one who stayed with Dormeo through all his perils, and Dormeo was trusting Blu more and more as time passed. He still hasn't come to tell him of the dark ways in which he uses his powers yet, but he feels as though, if their loyal friendship continues, he will be able to tell him someday. Either that, or he may give in to Blu's kind deeds and stop his need for gold and riches, maybe to become the mako everybody expects him to be some day.
