Any A Lab Rat, a Companion.

[VictorClerval]

Horror: (1890s-1920s) Your knew university roommate is obsessed with a creation-- some pieces of it dead, some made from scratch, some... unearthly. You discover the thing when you follow him one night into the backwoods shed he spends too much time in. You've known this roommate for a month, and he has always been eccentric, cynical, and reclusive, but you never expected him to be piecing together some sort of semi-biological creature. The horror worsens when you find his notes; you are one of his targets for some kind of sinister research; you possess a trait or ability he finds desirable-- but why and what? You had no clue until now that you possessed this ability(of your choice. Not a super power per se).
He seems a little obsessed with you, and he apparently chose you as a roommate for a reason other than sharing similar majors... and it's too creepy. When he finds you rummaging through his... things... in this makeshift laboratory, he produces a syringe filled with a sedative and plunges towards you.

Can be MxM or MxF. Romance optional.

So what level of positive trait we talk in here? I get no super power. But like. Is it as benign as having an extra tooth, or as good as having highly dense musculature?

Not like a ridiculous super power is what I mean. Nothing like, lmao, x-ray vision or flying.

Something sort of like mild telepathy or fuckin uhhhh mind reading.
