Rei's shape-shifting will get a little bit stronger, and he will now have an aura. Because this ties into his Lust Abilities, I'll be reworking them a bit. This will be a natural development of his abilities.
To note, the, "In addition to all of that, relating to his octopus physiology, he can camouflage into the area around him," is being taken off of the Shape-Shifting area, but it's still in his Species Abilities to make things less repitituous:
Ink Manipulation - All of Rei's bodily fluids are replaced with ink. For the most part, they are all regularly colored, though his blood is as blue as his "hair," and his main ink is dark blue. When experiencing intense emotions, Rei can secrete this substance naturally, sometimes in less than uncomfortable ways. It always starts from the top of his head, going from his horns to his "hair" to the rest of his face. Once his entire body is covered in ink, the ink can potentially come out of his eyes and mouth, though they will not blind or choke him. Nevertheless, it is still a very uncomfortable experience, and the latter can make it hard for him to speak or remove his ability to entirely. Rei can produce liquidy and gooey ink. The ink that comes from his head is almost always liquidy, but the texture can be changed if needed. When paired with his camouflage, his ink will not change, making his camouflage fail as soon as he begins getting covered.
- Materialization - Rei's ink can be used to create items from and shape-shift, but due to being young and this being a relatively new ability he has developed, most of his creations are unstable and small, making it easy for them just to become malleable. So far, the most stable creation he can make are cups, plates, small boxes or bags, and clothes for himself, but even those are unreliable.
- Shape-Shifting - Rei's shape-shifting is very limited, only giving him the ability to change the shape of his hands or feet, give him slightly different facial features, or give him small new features (for example, tails or animal ears). That last one he is still working on and slowly expanding, but other than that, he cannot do much. In addition to all of that, relating to his octopus physiology, he can camouflage into the area around him.

- Mimicry and Camouflage - Can change the color and texture of his skin. Is convincing from far away, but close up, people can tell there is something off about his appearance. Not as convincing when moving. When inking, his camouflage will fail and make himself very obvious. Can use his flexibility and limited shape-shifting to force himself into a shape of an object to add to his camouflaging.

He can only produce less than a gallon of this ink anywhere on his body by will and change the color to any that matches his natural color palette (blues, greens, pinks, and purples). Rei can produce both liquidy and gooey ink. The ink that he secretes from his head when he becomes emotional is almost always liquidy, but the texture can be changed if needed.

- Shape-Shifting - Rei's shape-shifting is very limited, only giving him the ability to change the shape of his hands or feet, give him slightly different facial features, give him small new features that do not change his powerset (for example, growing wings that do not allow him to fly, or animal ears that work as well as his normal ears), or slightly shift his color scheme between his main colors (blues, greens, pinks, and purples,). He can continuously add these additions to himself, but they will naturally be proportioned to fit his body. If he tries to mess with proportions (such as giving himself a tail longer and thicker than himself), he will have to deal with the extra stress of that on his body.
Lust Feed + Empowerment - As a Lust demon, Rei must feed on lust to survive and gain strength. Through his fangs, he mimics an emotion vampire by sucking out the lust from his prey. That is not to say he must feed on sexual lust only. Any intense, uncontrollable, and unhealthy desire for something is enough for him. After feeding on the person, they will no longer feel those emotions or only feel them lightly, though they can return within a few hours or days, depending on how much he took from them. He will also experience an energy boost, making him stronger and more agile, though this only lasts a few hours max and also depends on how much he ate. Rei can still eat food an omnivore could eat, but it will not affect his hunger.
Lust Abilities - As part Lust demon, Rei must feed on lust to survive and gain strength. This does not only extend to sexual lust. Any intense, uncontrollable, or unhealthy desire for something is enough for him. A lust for sex is the strongest for him, then the lust to fit in (aka, jealousy), then a lust to hurt, with the last two being on the same level. Rei can still eat food any omnivore could eat, but it will not affect his hunger, nor will it give him much satisfaction or disgust. Some food is tastier and grosser than others, but those will only be slight differences to him. The most extreme ways he can describe food as is "tolerable" and "unpleasant."
- Lust Feed - Rei's main method of feeding is through his fangs. By biting into a person, he mimics an emotion vampire by sucking out their lust. After feeding, they will no longer feel those emotions or only feel them lightly, though they will return within a few hours or days, depending on how much he took from them. He will also experience an energy boost that will enhance his physique, sense, and powers, which only lasts a few hours max, weakens every thirty minutes since he has not eaten, and depends on how much he ate.
- Lust Aura - Within a 10-foot radius, Rei emits an aura that increases in strength the closer you are to him and weakens the further you are. This aura makes people—including Rei—slightly more vulnerable to seeking out their natural desires. Whatever they "lust" for. Power, thrills, money, sex, or anything else. For example, a predatory or violent person might feel a slight urge to hurt someone or hunt. Another example could be someone who desires to fit in being a little more eager to change themself to be part of what they consider "the norm." This aura does not force anyone to do anything they would not do, only mildly enhancing the instincts, desires, and thoughts already influencing them naturally. He can also use his aura to feed on people without dampening their emotions. Feeding on people and them acting based on his aura will give him a kind of "sugar rush." He will feel more energetic, excitable, and fidgety. His physique, senses, and powers will also become slightly stronger, but not nearly as effective as when he is feeding through his bite. A few minutes after he stops feeding, he will experience a "crash" where all his previous energy will disappear and he will become weaker than normal. His aura is more of an unhealthy snack, while his bite is his actual meal. Continuous feeding through this aura will be like eating many packs of M&Ms or other junk foods, which in the long run is very unhealthy for him. Instead of making him stronger, he will become slower, lose stamina, and gain weight.
