Got a few questions and my apologies if they seem dumb or I missed something when skimming other questions. I'm considering apping Hawk from Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, and Hawk, like the other party members, is what is called a Monstrum and due to that he gets the ability to shift between two forms. They get referred to as human and Monstrum form and the main variance is appearance (still human looking, but a change of clothing along with hair and eye color) and the ability to use powers. Each also has a gift specific to them. In Hawk's case he can sprout wings and while he can't fly, he can use them to glide across longer distances. From other questions I'm gathering he can still swap forms (though I'm ok if he can't I'd just have him be stuck in Monstrum form), but less sure if he'd keep the wings that come with his gift. If pics or videos are needed I'll happily provide since the canon's wiki sucks and it's a rather niche canon as well. So my questions:
1. Would the wings be able to be kept and whether they can or not could he use elemental magic to manipulate air and do what his gift does? I know actual flight would still not be doable, but more the idea of slowing and controlling descent like a swooping bird is what I'm looking for. If this doesn't work, I'm open to ideas that would work better but don't think animal magic would be a good fit for him. I'm leaning towards elemental since his attacks tend to be very wind based in appearance in canon to go with the whole bird motif for him.
2. Hawk is a bit unique in that his human self is a berserker and in Monstrum form it has some visual cues to it. I get that I have to keep this to human limits of what could amount to a massive adrenaline rush and very swift exhaustion due to that but I was wondering if I could keep the appearance shifts of red eyes and a red or red/black aura? It's fine if not, this is more me asking to know if I should bother uploading icons with those appearance shifts.
3. Regarding human abilities that are completely out there. Hawk also has an incredible talent to learn nearly anything within a few tries (except social skills, he'll always suck there). I do get that this could quickly become abusive and I don't want to cross that line. Especially in regards to magic, are there any limits I should place on this?
