[I]"Tekeli-li."[/I] (I will be free). [b]-Subject File: SGTH-009863-[/b] [b]Name:[/b] Tekeli-li [b]Age:[/b] Unknown. [b]Species:[/b] Shoggoth/Human. [b]Sexuality:[/b] Trust me on this, you [I]really[/I] don't want to know. [b]Appearance:[/b] Tekeli-li is an amorphous shapeshifting blob of black protoplasmic ooze currently weighting approximately 75 lbs. It is capable of generating copies and permutations of any organs or chemicals it has previously been directly exposed to, anywhere within its body. It usually tends to extend several protoplasmic tentacles and human eyes throughout its form to interact with the world around it. It doesn't currently appear to have access to a particularly large quantity of genetic material or body mass. [b]Containment measures:[/b] Tekeli-li is kept in a high-tech glass tank, roughly the half of the size of one of the standard cages. [b]Current Arsenal:[/b] [*]Shoggoth protoplasmic cells.[/*] [*]Human eyes.[/*][*]Human blood cells.[/*][*]Human brain cells.[/*][*]Human digestive fluids.[/*][*]Human muscle tissue.[/*][*]Human skin tissue.[/*][*]Human nervous tissue.[/*][*]Human bones and cartilage.[/*][*]Human respiratory system.[/*][*]Human reproductive system (male).[/*] [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Cannot change body mass other than by consuming organic material. Cannot generate chemicals unless all necessary base elements are present. Cannot make organs unless they are derived from something already ingested. Killing it with fire. (For now). [b]Additional capabilities:[/b] Can learn to create copies of new organs and tissues by ingesting them. Can access memories from organic processing units it consumes (brains). Redundant brain cell analogs are spread evenly throughout body, and function independently of one another. Capable of reproduction via mitosis. Capable of re-absorbing material shedded via mitosis. Does not produce waste material. Ridiculously difficult to kill. [b]Origin:[/b] Tekeli-li appears to be the result of some sort of attempt at splicing a human with the [url=http://lovecraft.wikia.com/wiki/Shoggoths]shoggoth[/url] equivalent of genetic material. Depending on perspective, it either went terribly right or horribly wrong. [b]Personality:[/b] Tekeli-li is a very curious and contemplative creature at the core, and is always eager to unravel mysteries or learn new things. It is currently incapable of sustaining human speech, the only word it is capable of saying being its name. It is usually a rather quiet creature, only speaking out or making noise when something truly unusual happens. Instead, it will generally prefer to interact with nearby captives with non-verbal means of communication (which it is unnervingly good at, thanks to its unique physiology). It is mostly unable to remember much regarding its life before awaking in the tank, but vaguely recalls the taste of napalm and sound of gunfire in a white walled facility. It is relatively certain that it was initially human, although not absolutely sure. It also appears to have limited subconscious access to shoggoth genetic memory, allowing it to, amongst other things, understand certain languages which humans were never meant to know. [hider=Additional notes] I hope you won't mind, but I took a few liberties concerning the character sheet template, given that some of the fields didn't really apply in this case. You might also want to consider getting something a bit more subtle for your rule confirmation check, it takes like three seconds to figure it out once other people have posted applications...
