PERSONALITY
In a word? Sensitive. Erratic. Prone to wild swings in thought and mood. Frequently affected by Sundowning on top of his own special Harry specific neurological conditions and preexisting memory loss.
It might help to think of Harry as a failed ‘chosen one.’ He comes from a work that plot convention is simply not tolerated ideologically, a world defined by failure.
| ABOUT
Harry is an amnesiac ex-cop that the system spat out after he became too disabled to work. He has every disease, can see the future, is generally offputting, and is equipped with an insatiably curious mind. Formerly a genius detective, he’s really been through a meat grinder of a time and has hurt a lot of people.
On the other hand he intrinsically cares for others, for better or worse and wants to be better. And his lack of memories and experience can make him very naive and even innocent at times.
He loves to probe and ask questions. If you have secrets, a hidden backstory? He’d love nothing more than to dig it out.
APPEARANCE
Crooked jaw. He frequently experiences difficulty making facial expressions and under duress his face will snap back into the pained grimace that it was fully stuck in for years. Tends to hide his lower face under a scarf in shame. He has a speech impediment that becomes more pronounced when hitting words with AW sounds (law, jaw, etc) it makes his voice extra gravelly and his jaw jut out at an angle.
CHANGES
As a Kimera Harry's body has become truly unstable, entering a state of a flux. He may be bipedal and at his normal height or walking on four (or more) legs.
Most frequently in taur form with a mismatched and shifting lower body. Keeps on a human face so he doesn’t get shot at. 'Hair' replaced by long brown feathers, spring up into a jaunty and expressive crest as he emotes.*/
ABILITIES
In Sleephatten he’s been stripped of his psychic abilities. With all of his chronic health conditions he relies on his Kimera abilities of regeneration to keep moving. Sleep has rewarded him with the ability to see tethers. Flying is a work in progress, as is camouflage, mostly he’s a walking mood ring when his chromatophores are present.
Within the Dream he can: read minds and receive visions of the past. These are frequently vague hints that do little to offer him real help in the moment.
