Personal History
Powers and Abilities
-Brain scans have shown a degree of multi-tasking that mimics a ‘hive mind’ structure
-Distance of mental communication and control is unknown
-Exact level of individuals control and connection is unknown
-Arthropods will attempt to feed the individual by bringing back pieces of food, dead insects, or drops of nectar
-*IMPORTANT* Arthropods respond to harm of their ‘host’ violently unless mentally prevented
-*IMPORTANT* Knocking the individual out results in uncontrolled aggression and protectiveness from any and all arthropods in the immediate area. Avoid this at all costs
-Paths lead from small skin-flap covered openings in the skin to converted organs
-Uterus, the bottom lobe of the right lung, both mammary glands, and the left lobe of the liver have been converted (or were born altered) into fleshy hive-like structures
-Arthropods small enough to fit inside of the individual live and breed within these structures
-Individual is not hindered by the partial loss of lung and liver
-Digestive system connects to the uterus and liver hives, converting food into a ‘liquid-like substance’ arthropods can consume (regardless of usual food source)
-Waste, uneaten ‘substance’, and food brought in by arthropods are absorbed back into the individuals own system and digested
-Arthropods of different species are able to be hybridized by the individual through some sort of genetic manipulation
-Hybrids may only occur between two species, and seemingly cannot hybridize further (this is untested due to the elimination of all hybrids upon capture)
-Hybrids are seemingly able to breed amongst themselves, if of the same hybrid type
-The individual seems to have a certain amount of control in regards to what traits are passed on in the hybridization; how this occurs is unknown, potentially even to the individual
-Hybrids appear to behave the same as natural arthropods, but may rely more on the individual than others do (this is untested due to the elimination of all hybrids upon capture)
-Bone structure is overall larger than average humans, possibly to aid in the carrying of extra weight and to allow anchor points for the arthropod tunnels
