Abstract character animation: contract vertices

[Sid Edwards]

I’d like to create an animation where, the vertices of one mesh contract towards a character of another mesh as the character approaches them. 

Is there mechanic to make arbitrary vertices responsive to the proximity of another, like an IK bone?

You might want to look at the Vertex Weight Proximity Modifier (if I understand correctly what you want to do):

Hmm, I tried that with displace already, but I wasn’t getting sensical results. Could warp-to be the way to do it instead?
