I made a monster. You did say as Inhuman as possible. Also I went and wrote quite a lot about the house so I hope it doesn't step on any toes with the style of bio engineering going on or how I've stuck their noses into a bunch of semi-important things. [hider=Buru-Enmeli] Character Name: subject 274/Buru-Enmeli/Emily/Skitter Sex: Doesn’t really matter anymore. Nominally female. [hider=Appearance] [img]http://i.imgur.com/dfT67Tw.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Autocratic House: Advent] Advent [hider=symbol] [img]http://i.imgur.com/BEIHzlY.jpg [/img] [/hider] A house who's main stray is the research and production of more… unusual Biological crations. Unrestricted modification of, and perhaps a disdain for, the human form, advent strives to create the perfect life form for for every purpose, be they pet, livestock, slave and even to improve themselves. While their creations are with no doubt effective (their exotic pets are particular popular, as are their monstrosities for the arena) there is less certainty whether they are more cost effective than simply using unmodified workers and machines. Most are not as enthusiastic as the advent house members to enter an age of true post-humanism, their intensive self modification considered somewhat distasteful. As a result the most public figures don’t show as much modification as the more secluded members, who have cast of humanity entirely, or dress in clothing that conceal their more bizarre changes while escorted by the more stylish, if still odd, slave soldiers. [hider=Guards, snake skin is the in thing this year] [img]https://cdnb1.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/002/124/209/large/chris-sulzbach-viper-render.jpg?1457576120 [/img] [/hider] Apart from research and bio-engineering the house’s other incomes are from recycling and waste management of the city. They also are sometimes contracted to take care of the “trash” by wealthy individuals, clearing out pockets of dissenters, homeless and anyone else who they might want to disappear. The same semi intelligent hive drones are used for both purposes, swarming settlements or collecting and sorting out useful materials from the huge amount of waste produced by the city. Large behemoths and flying beetles are used as shock troops or garbage collection. [hider=Advent swarm (extreme deployment of house resources. It's garbage day.) and scientist] [img]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kkpjV-blrvQ/maxresdefault.jpg [/img] [/hider] Their master is one of the more influential and public semi independent scientists who work for the house. So long as their work produces some monetary income demonstrating their work has some value and they aren’t wasting house sponsorship on personal projects or self modification, they are given freedom to do pretty much as they please and a small personal army of the house's drones. [/hider] Biological Enhancements: Chitinous skin: covered in razor sharp armored plaits, while not as effective as grafting metal to the body they are lighter and allow more freedom of movement. Mandible and spines: A mouth full of knives, claws like daggers, blades on their 4 legs and basically spikes everywhere on their armor. Enhanced movement abilities: their 4 legs let them both run at about the same speed as a small horse, let them jump considerable heights, quickly dig tunnels in soft terrain and climb by stabbing their shape legs into walls. Poison: Their sharp points can secrete a neurotoxin that will slowly cripple the target, this can be used either directly or smeared on weapons. As a result of being covered in the stuff they are designed to be immune to it and their blood can act as an anti-venom for it if dunk by others. Production can be turned on and off. They aren't noticeably stronger than an un-augmented human so they rely on speed and the slow crippling by poison to fight. Personality: They used to be a rather peaceful individual, who enjoyed singing, reading and good music. Most of these things have been lost along, their new body is a coiled spring of tension, paranoia and aggression meaning they find it difficult to relax, their voice a disgusting grating mess from their inhuman mouth means they can no-longer sing. On the other hand their new body feels amazing when they are allowed to unleash it, the speed and power they have in those brief moments of freedom before the bloody carnage begins are glorious. They despise their master for taking their voice and for caging them but they can understand their willingness to abandon human forms, for they have never felt more alive, if only they could have the freedom to use their body for their own desire rather than to fight and kill other unfortunate souls. History: They are but one of the many slaves taken from a remote town that was recently re-pacified by advent forces, a farmhand who had nothing to do with the group that brought the ire of some house member but when the swarm come they will indiscriminately abduct individuals and their masters mark them down as collaborators in paperwork. Either no-one has noticed or cares about this practice so they were taken away, held for an in determinant amount of time before undergoing extensive modification and genetic engineering to become the monstrosity they are now. The Advent Scientist has set them up as a gladiator after they performed well against the house's basic drones, for the purpose of further testing and to gain some income to prove they are doing useful work for the house. Having had their name and original appearance scrubbed from their memory and having only been a number, their gladiator name was given as buru-enmeli but they go by the more human Emily when they can. Known as Skitter by crowds for their appearance, style of combat and because buru-enmeli is pretentious as fuck. [/hider]
