Name: Howard PhillipsAge: 28Gender: MaleSpecies: Illithid/HumanAppearance: Howard, when he appears human, is 6'2", has slick, black hair, typically Slavic features, blue eyes, and is of a very slim build. In his alternate form, he maintains dimensions but bears slick, grey skin, a head reminiscent of both insects and octopi, a number of extraneous tentacles, inverted knee joints, and clawed hands and feet. Personality: Howard is a bit of a shut-in, isolating himself from others lest they discover his nature, of which he is ashamed. He is intelligent and hardly shy, but does not enjoy people, as he's come to associate them with derision and snide commentary. Fear(s): Being discovered, fire, crowds, holy relicsAbility: Howard has the ability to change between an Illithid, a child of C'thulhu, and a human. His Illithid form is stronger, more durable, and faster than most humans, but radiates an aura that decays the mental state of all within in, including Howard. As a human, Howard retains some of this control over madness, with the ability to madden others to an extent parallel with his level of bodily exertion. Short History: Howard was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, from which he scarcely departed. A majority of his life was spent studying law and the natural sciences, but this was cast away upon his spontaneous first transformation while visiting a beach. A cephalopod, something he had never seen prior, induced him to take his Illithd form for the first time and subsequently flee to begin a new life elsewhere.
