Facial features include a crooked jaw and nerve damage, and his attempts to hide the former under his facial hair. 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.
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.
Was shot in the upper thigh/hip shortly before he was pulled in, has been patched by Patho-Gen but still limps and uses the support of a cane. Despite this, he does his best to run when he can, making symptoms worse. Also suffers from post-polio syndrome. He is frequently exhausted and in pain.
He’s lived a hard life and it shows on his face. He has the broken capillaries common to many alcoholics, heavy bags under his eyes. Imprinting eases some of these features and leaves him looking healthier and refreshed.
CORRUPTION
Hooked claws on the fingers, blackened teeth arranged in a pattern that vaguely resembles the shape of a beak. This is a creature meant to latch on and cling to things.
Tentacles that peel away from the flesh of the arms, following the anatomical path of the tendons under the skin, can flatten to fit under sleeves. Smaller tentacle growths along the spine. They change in color and pattern frequently, correlating mostly to mood.
…There’s just not a fancy way to say this one: tentacle dick. It’s there!
HALF SHIFT
Legs are gone, replaced by tentacles.
FULL SHIFT
It’s hard to discern the shape of this creature’s body. There is a head, certainly, rising from the pile but beyond that? Its total flexibility and constant lashing tentacles results in the impression of a shapeless undulating mass of chittering beaks and thrashing tentacles. (Picture a shoggoth, essentially.)
