Quirks: no restaurant can ever measure up to his grandmother's cooking, hates using his power, keeps the news on in the background when he's working, enjoys fantasy stories and portal fantasies in particular, gets very involved in games and projects.

Truong came to Saint Vincent's following a couple of incidents that have been told and retold as urban legends; he is one of the very few anomalies who has cryptid hunters as well as human supremacists looking for him. He is capable of turning into a variety of powerful alternate forms -- but not of controlling what he turns into, and he is not always in control of whether he changes or not. Transforming frequently affects his personality and reactions; apparently his different forms come with different sets of instincts and dominant emotions.

When not transformed, Truong is a good student and pleasant to be around. He's prone to getting lost in his own interests, but loves nothing more than sharing those interests with other people. He's also a surprisingly good cook, and speaks/reads both English and Vietnamese fluently. He stays in practice using online forums and chats, and is very careful not to mention his condition to people who don't know about it already. He has taken up Tai Chi and Aikido, but not for combat; he uses them as a sort of meditation-in-motion, to keep himself calm and avoid involuntary transformations. 

Documented alternate forms include: a sleek, feral cross between a tiger and an iguana which is blind but capable of sensing its surroundings out to about fifty feet; a bloodthirsty aquatic form with both fins and tentacles; a purple-skinned humanoid form with a range of acid-based abilities; and a fifty-foot tall kaiju form with super-strength and virtual invulnerability.
