SPЄCIЄS 〗Illithid
[ABILITIES]
-Telepathy: Can’t communicate normally with his physical vocal cords, however can connect through a mental link to transmit words and even memories. Can not ‘read’ minds without a physical connection, and even then does not like to invade people’s personal space. Abalone is well trained in this skill.

-Memory consumption: A strong beak is designed to break skulls to consume brains. When eating a brain, Aba can retain the memories of the person, and sometimes experience the emotions and physical feelings they experienced in the last week. Abalone is well trained in this skill.

-Psionics: Through a powerful mind, Illithids can do minor telekinesis, such as opening or shutting doors, lifting up light items and moving them, or even slight levitation of self. If threatened, can force upon another a surplex of memories causing a mental pain. One can not die from this, but can be driven insane if prolonged. Abalone has a decent understand of this skill.

-Plane shift: As a last ditch effort an Illithid can shift into another plane of exsistance. The plane can be specified however not a specific place in the plane, and they can be stuck in that other plane for a little over a day until their energy has replenished enough to return. Abalone has not figured out how to use this skill.

-Dominate mind: Lesser beasts such as rats, fish, insects, birds, and other low intelligence creatures can be given orders from an Illithid. A strong enough mind can resist or break free of such charms, and they can't last forever. Abalone is poor in this skill.

+Thick skin: A lifetime’s worth of insults, names, dead bodies, and horrors has given him a resilience to most things thrown his way. From small things like name calling, or to graphic scenes, not much is taken to heart or twists at his stomach.

+Just: As one who rarely got fair treatment, Abalone has made it his personal life goal to uphold fair punishment for the unlawful. Although his job mostly includes working with the dead, he still sees them as in need of justice and does his best to apprehend murderers.

+Benevolent: Abalone tends to be a kind and giving person with an easy disposition. Where he can he helps, and it’s never a bother to share. You reap what you sow right?

-Meek: With attention already drawn his way by his appearance, Abalone prefers to cause as little trouble as possible. Will take orders and commands from most anyone, and hardly ever stands up for himself even if it bothers him.

-Prudish: A combination of a reserved upbringing and a lack of self understanding has led Aba to be a bit more closeted. Outward flirtations even between others or PDA can cause him to become embarrassed and retreat. Open talk of such things will cause shock.

-Cynical: He’s never had the best interactions with others, so often Aba is inclined to believe the worst of others. Never truly believing someone wishes to interact with him unless they have ulterior motives. This isn’t to say he hates people, but more of a lowered expectation as a form of self defense.

[HISTORY]

Abalone was raised by any other well off human family. Both parents doctors of some kind, both who looked forwards to an heir to teach their practices too. However they had struggled to conceive a child. After they finally managed, a difficulty in the birth resulted in the removal of his mother’s uterus. Abalone would be the only child they would have, so when he started to show signs of being sickly, the Colemans were quick to try and find a cure.

However, the unknown ailment continued to baffle them. It seemed none of their attempts could cure him, and their boy became worse and worse. Coughing up phlegm, wheezing at any activity, and soon enough he was bedridden. Their medicine just wasn’t working, they needed outside forces.

The Colemans delved into forbidden texts, words of madness, calls from other worlds. Anything to save their heir, anything at all. They struck a deal with the voices that whispered to them in dreams, they were to provide the near dead of their hospital, and in return, their boy would be saved.

They agreed, and saved he was. Abalone recovered quickly, however the boy seemed different. Maybe it was just how he was in good health! Studies continued, elderly and sickly continued to vanish, their son changed. His skin turned rubbery, his hair fell out, then his teeth and nails over the next year. A year more, tentacles sprouted from his face, eyes peeled open along his brow, the transformation horrific and unimaginable. A gruesome price to pay for a life. Yet the Colemans continued to raise their son with love, hiding him away from the world.

He was hired by his parents to be their new coroner, a way for their Aba to obtain the needed diet of brains while still participating in the medical field. Abalone found himself to be rather lonely, unsure of what he was, unable to connect with others. He desired more for his life, and decided if humans could not accept him, then surely monsters could?

Aba broke away from his parents, in search of fabled cities overrun by mythical beasts. When he found one however, it seemed not even his kind was accepted by the other monstrous races. The fabled mind flayer, scourge of the planes, devourer of minds, a creature that killed indiscriminately. Abalone had no idea of the reputation his kind had, and quickly found himself running for his life.

It was then that Gravesend City came to find him. He wasn’t sure when the streets changed, or the air shifted, but eventually he stopped running. Unsure of where he found himself, but it was new, for better or worse.
