I have probably made 1 to many assumptions about the setting, please let me know where I have gone to far and I can rejig whatever that may be.

Generally rather cheerful and optimistic: Good for bedside manner, rather odd coming from a monstrosity or a man elbow deep in a corpse warping the laws of nature to their will. [hider=Short Biography] Originally an employee at Courtlandt Holdings having attended one of the Thremont Lord’s schools, specifically to study the interfacing of magitechnology and biological systems. They spent a lot of their free time locked up in a dingy apartment obsessively poking and prodding a the limits of the arcane, fascinated by the ability to create and reshape reality and frustrated in the myriad of restrictions in place. He eventually ended up looking most into the idea of using magic to create minions, first to make their life easier, then as a hobby and finally devolving into a full blown obsession. Using modification of existing life forms and more importantly, AI controlled devices they slowly began to create more bizarre, sometimes useful, but mainly just interesting creations, with no rhyme or reason to what they worked on on a particular day. However this knowledge had to be gained by trips to the Necronomicon when hunting for info on the dark web would not suffice. As painstalkers will not meet with drones or proxy servants they ended up using their modification magic to change themselves and make sneaking in easier by making himself faster, using rudimentary chameleon tech to hide and letting them take less conventional routes with climbing claws, gills or wings. More and more modification resulted in them looking less and less human each trip and the tales of some strange beast slinking in and out of the Necronomicon is what first brought him to the attention to Cleaners, who assumed there was some nightmare that had crawled out of its hole. He was attacked and, though he had neither the training or skills to defeat (or even hurt) the cleaner after him, his modified form and myriad of experimental creatures were enough to allow his survival till they both ended up having to flee from the approaching Agents and Policus response. Having had to work together to escape the cleaner, after it became clear he was not in fact a nightmare, gave him an ultimatum, either join the cleaners, give up his ‘hobby’ or be hunted for the rest of his (guaranteed to be short) life for his magic. This was all because it was inconvenient to have him start rumors that could be mistake for nightmare sightings every time he or his monstrosities get noticed and they would rather not waste time following a lead only to find out it’s Seb again. They accepted, because at this point their magic was their life as he had just lost everything else to the police retaliation on his infested home (and to some experimental gun-beasts exploding), and the existence of nightmares was a fascinating revelation. Getting to now help/show off his creations was an added boon so they eagerly requested they be made a member. [/hider] [hider=Magic Style: TransMutation] Predominantly creation based, they circumnavigate parts of the alchemy restrictions by making their edits to molecular structure and mass creation look like cell replication or mutation, allowing them to better mold existing flesh and machinery into specific, if similar, parts for their creation(modify DNA, make hair into cartilage, flesh from several different creatures compatible and stop the rejection of inorganic parts etc.). This energy injection is what allows the large mods to function despite their high energy requirements, feeding the body with magic rather than digestion. Seb’s magic style is mostly preparatory, they modify themselves before a mission and bring along various specialized organisms to help. They can modify existing life forms by adding, removing or remodeling their physical structure, they create horror or beauty from flesh and steel, controlled by circuits and nerves. The target of this has to stay still while Seb edits them, so they must either be willing or unconscious, while suspended in a glowing circle drawn around the subject (looks like a summoning circle projecting a column of light surrounding the subject). As a result the simplest thing to do is to take AI programs, that can be relied upon to not move, which they have experience in working with from their time at Courtlandt Holdings, and building something around that. Modified lab mice work well as a basis for a biological system, as do bugs, controlling the will of the organism via implanted chip but letting the bio brain do most of the literal leg work. These are ‘bound’ to Seb’s will via extensive additions to his mind, magitechnology based cybernetics have been used to modify Sebs' brain and skull letting him send and receive signals to his various creations. The magic can be used for rudimentary terrain manipulation and simple modifications/creations can be made on the fly out of on site equipment, the magic can also be used to heal if there is flesh available and enough time, rebuilding the damaged part of the person. The forms are all generally made for a specific task or role. Spidery gun drones, massive attack dogs, simple spy camera equipped bugs, creatures to act as lab assistants or simply interesting looking pets. [hider=Modifications Art] Body examples [hider=Small:Eyeless] This consists mostly of adding parts to a human and improving the musculature than warping the body entirely and thus can be done rather quickly by preserving those parts and practically putting them on like a suit before a brief fusing period. [img]http://i.imgur.com/2wnWlqs.png[/img] [/hider] [hider=Medium:Death Leaper] Full body modification, this takes much longer to swap in and out off as well as a lot of additional biomass to add additional size [img]http://i.imgur.com/vEhPKSX.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Large:Goliath] Basically a Bio-mechanical mech at this point, entered and then bonded to the user who curls up in the chest cavity, but it is not stealthy and has massive power consumption, its faster to get into that a medium morph and so can be useful for an unexpected base defense rather than going out on missions.

Been here for about 2 months, most of that is combat training, providing medical assistance, tinkering, providing modified experimental equipment(with various degrees of success in their operation) or watching more experienced Cleaners do their work so that he can learn from them. [b]Equipment:[/b] This mostly depends what they have done to themselves today, but they always have a collection of spare AI chips for modding stuff on the fly as well as some personal computing equipment to program said chips either on their person or on a nearby creation. Weapon wise they either use the bioweapons(claws, blades, organic launcher weapons) of their modifications or installed/wielded laser weaponry.
