Neos' Possibilities
Goals:
~Learn more and more about the world at large, maybe even discover new aspects of this world he's now in. Good thing there's plenty to explore. If he got some form of benefits for exploring, that'd be a massive bonus, as far as he's concerned.
~Find someplace that he can find himself calling home. After being able to call places like a world-spanning city (Ravnica) and a city among a desert (Ul'dah from the world of Eorzea) 'home' in their worlds, he's learned he's not the pickiest of beings in existence.
Animal Shifts:
~Some form of flying shift, possibly a species of bat
~Some form of aquatic shift, preferably anything that can breathe underwater...likely something like a manta ray
Mythical Shifts:
~While the Ditto form's impossible, a form based off the Ooze monsters in Dungeons and Dragons would be an appropriate and closest substitute to such
~I just discovered this critter in the guidebook and my brain just went NEOS MUST HAVE THIS AS A FORM, since it would let him show his stories.
Tulmhainar* (rare/mythical): Its name means earth and world and turtle and it is just that. A gigantic turtle so large that it has its own gravitational pull, the tulmhainar looks like a mountain given life. With earth and illusion magic, there is currently only one tulmhainar in all of Caido. It feeds off of memories, usually creating an illusory world where it in human-form and its 'storyteller' can talk.
Items:
~Making it so his normal attire's able to adjust itself to his changing form once more (he's gonna have a WTF moment once he accidentally tears his jacket and turtleneck shirt once he gets both a form that allows for flight and partial shifting...)
~Maybe having up to six crystal spheres that hold the essence and appearance of a specific summonable creature in each of them, maybe make it so the 'death' of the creature causes the energy that forms it to snap back to its particular sphere (anything with a mythical creature would probably have to be granted by a god, if at all) These would not be the same as a proper companion, however, and would probably function much like the creatures made from the Summoning chain of magic.
~This one's very-much an optional, but in-character thing for Neos to have. I wound up dreaming of a set of different-colored crystal orbs small enough to slip under the tongue in one's mouth before unleashing a torrent of an element matching the particular orb's color slipped under the tongue. Momentary resistance to one's own 'breath weapon' would indeed optional, but I could see him dealing with burned lips if he did this with a fire-themed orb, for example. XP
~~The following are technically impossibilities, but it would be against character for Neos to not try to do attempt them anyway.~~
Goals:
~Regain somehow the ability to Transform freely into almost anything
~Find a way to be able to leave the planet (if not the realm) of Caido, even if it's only by find ways to somehow create a space-worthy vessel to explore other planets with for example
~Awaken old abilities to use magic once more (aka become a hybrid Attuned/Abandoned), doesn't expect to specialize in any one skill since he never did in the past. (This is an abandoned goal due to my crossing eyes over how it would work out in IC.)
Items:
~Custom item that allows him to sidestep the frustrating (for him) restriction of being unable to cast/maintain magic in any form of animal shift, would likely be designed to work with a shift sourced from his true form (this would likely be a reason for a shrine visit...as well as Neos verbally going absolutely OFF on the Voice if such entity responds).
Mythical Shifts:
~His real form as a Ditto, which will probably be key to Transforming freely. This might be a while before getting to, however, since it would have to be a mythical shift (Sadly, any Pokemon shift would be impossible, since they aren't considered mythical creatures, even if some Pokemon are modeled after such.)
