Done! I present to you,

Name

Kato Saburo

Age

28

Race

Hylotl

Gender

Male

Appearance

His main color is red, with orange and yellow accents. Cobalt eyes, cracked through with yellow lines. His top fin is short and forked, as in split down the middle. The left side of his head has a long metal plate where one’s skull would normally be, it is a dark, brushed black. His clothing is black cloth, tight fitting and ragged. His nails are grown out, and he looks distressed.


Backstory

Kato had a difficult childhood. He was born into a family that didn’t want him on an already overpopulated planet. His mother died due to complications in birth, leaving Kato to be raised by a man who blamed him for his mother’s death. As Kato grew up, his father slumped increasingly into the warm arms of alcohol, and got more abusive at the same rate. After a particularly brutal beating, Kato had enough. He killed his father, and fed him to their pigs. After all traces of his father were gone, Kato realised something… he enjoyed it. He reveled in the death of his father, and wanted to kill again. But, he was smart. Instead of going on a murder spree and getting executed, he built a name for himself in the community, and saved up to buy a respectable butchers shop in a nice district. Eventually though, he turned back to killing, but with a twist. Since he considered himself an accomplished chef, he decided to try his hand at the forbidden ingredient, sapients. So, on his next “outing”, he brought back a doggie bag for himself, and soon became addicted. Eventually, he was noticed. Not by the police, but by an insidious corporation that needed subjects to test on. They made a deal with him; he brings them subjects, and they reward him handsomely. He accepted. Regrettably, he was caught up in a rebellion against the government, and ended up shot through the skull by someone more crazy than him. But that wasn’t the end, no way he would die a boring death like that. He was retrieved by the same corporation he was working for, and became a test subject. Part of a “lazarus” project, they successfully brought him back to life. But he was, different. They replaced the missing parts of his brain with prosthetics, but he had lost too much. He had gone certifiably insane, driven that way by his fragmented memories and his never-ending hunger. His program was scrapped, and he was sold to a slaving company, who in turn handed him off to the ringleader.

Positive

Prosthetics in his brain give him fast reflex times, and his previous training allows him to sneak unnoticed in most places. He is a good fighter, and is very dextrous. He doesn’t fear death. A relentless fighter, he is all offense. Very strong, he is able to kill easily and without remorse.

Neutral

Prefers hand to hand over ranged combat. “Much better to have their blood splatter in your face than on the ground, no?”

Negative

A fragmented conscious makes recalling memories difficult, if not impossible, and ones that he recalls will likely be warped, corrupted. Due to him not fearing death, he will often sacrifice his well-being for an advantage. His shattered mind will sometimes make him see things, and his emotions can flip-flop unpredictably (Severe bipolar). In severe cold or heat climates, his disorder is worse, due to the metal in his brain heating or cooling.

Freakshow Ability

If he has the willpower to, he is able to bring himself back from death, due to remnants of the program that brought him back remaining within him.

 

" Ohoho! Death defyingingly delicious! "

 

That's the kind of chef that Sko would definitely hire for a meal.

 

" Kato? Could you make me a meal? "

 

*disgruntled mutterings* 'meal... what... what kind of meal... what kind of meal.... what kind...'

 

" Preferably Hylotl with a side of Floran. "

 

'Seafood with a salad, I'll need ingredients...' He trails off and looks at the crowd. 'Ingredients.'

 

Relatively speaking, no one has a reason to trust her simply because she looks like a human.

EDIT: Oh hey cool crits joined :D

 

It's just kinda funny, cause one would think he would be called 'Faru' instead of 'Zetta', as that's the first word.
It's like... Saviour of the Human Race, and calling them 'Human' instead of 'Saviour'.

 

Oh, yes, I'm finished with my app.

Name:
Calypso

Age:
At least a century in human years, she can't remember, and it doesn't matter much.

Race:
Irujaki, the distant cousin to the hylotl race. Marked differences include hardened kevlar-like scales that lead to a more angular anatomy, a serpentine shape, and rows of sharpened teeth with two venomous fleshy fangs in the forefront of their mouth.

Gender:
Female, evidently.

Backstory:
One usually finds that the fisherman catches the fish. This isn't always so true.
In Irujaki culture, the fish would hunt those on the boats above, tugging their lines to drag down the most arrogant and stubborn of fishermen from their perch at rapid speeds. Once submerged, the prey were drowned or stunned with venom, and consumed. Calypso liked to keep their skulls as trinkets.
Curious about the living versions of these beings, she walked out of the ocean and onto the land, donning clothing and a calmer appetite than most of her species. She travelled for decades, taking in information about a less watery world, studying and learning the ways of other people. This didn't keep her from taking them as prey, every now and again, and stowing a few bones for fun.
Eager again for a challenge, and maybe some entertainment, she found the Danver's and Fernald's circus, and inserted herself into the showcase of freaks.

Positive Traits:
Her curious mind lets her adapt to even the most bizarre situations, and without much investigation into the matter. Her hard scaled body grants a decent amount of protection, while her venom can have wicked effects. She can survive on very little food.

Neutral traits:
She enjoys whittling in her free time, making trinkets and baubles out of spare bone and wood.

Negative Traits:
Her eyesight is poor in the daytime or in bright lights, as she's used to a dark and murky environment.

Freakshow Ability:
Not only do her fangs inject venom, they also inject eggs. These eggs quickly hatch into small crab like parasites that spread through the body and feed off of the host. Underwater, this was a means of breeding. Above ground, this will weaken the host for a time until the parasites die (they don't live long without the watery environment.) ​

​

EDIT: Oh cripes, double post. My bad.

 

Dissidus has been watching all of this. ".ylf ot elba eb ton dluohs seeb notaiva fo swal wonk lla ot gnidroccA"

 

'Looks like the seafood has arrived...' Kato absentmindedly states.

 

Just dont question it, the Zettans are a weird race.

 

You double posted. Ready for crucifixion?

 

*Your phone starts to ring* "You have 30 seconds before the mods arrive. 29, 28..."
It's a dumb reference so don't worry if you dont get it.

 

" Oho! Parasitically perfect! I say we are about ready to start! Ta-ta! "

Ringleader walks away with a swagger and a flourish of his hands

(( I drew Ringleader....anyone wanna see? ))

 

((Yes please!))
"Please! I don't want to die!"

"Yes... I do hope this body lasts long enough for this to be at least mildly amusing...
((Also, will we be encountering NPCs along the way?))

 

"?enoemos llik i naC"

 

"Not yet... Be patient!"

"AH! Get away!"

 

I'm begging you to cease the backwards posting before my eyes melt and my brain shoots itself.
