Out of Character:
Name: Draug Su'Luc
Age: Unknown
Race: Humanoid Homunculus
Hair Color: Shoulder-length, blonde
Eye Color: Black pupils, yellow iris, everything else black.
Height: 6'3
Weight: 175lbs
Personality: Draug's emotions are heavily diluted. Extreme joy he can only muster a grin, extreme sadness he sheds no tears. He has an extreme superiority complex and believes that everyone is below him, except for his creator Cassandra Remi. The little happiness in his life is spent doting on her, his 'mother'. He is a ruthless murderer, but derives no joy from the kill. His victims are less than ants to him, and snubbing out their lives is equivalent to stepping on a weed. He is like the nomads of the Tular Plains, who use every part of the animal they kill, but takes it to an extreme and believes that all people are just bodies and he can make better use of their organs than them, as if they're not even alive to him.
Appearance: Long blonde hair that covers one eye. Black pupils and yellow irises surrounded by darkness in his eyes. Deep rings of exhaustion hang around his eyes. He wears a long black coat, black pants and boots, and crimson undershirt. His mouth is usually slightly open, revealing traces of his carnivorous fangs. His nails are also pointed and sharp. Below his neck, every single other part of his body is not his own. The various amalgamations of body parts are stitched together all over.
History: Draug lived his life like any other. He grew up in a small town, lived with his wife and kids, and went to work every day. Then, he was kidnapped, and subjected to the tortures endured in The Cult of Blessed Torture's 'ghoul' program, which consisted of decent human beings who were forced to watch people getting tortured over and over and they were fled the flesh of the victims along with their meals. Over time they became gibbering wrecks and tossed the food in exchange for flesh. Then they were infused with demonic essences to mutate their bodies into bulky freaks.
He became a mindless monster, depraved like the rest of Cassandra Remi's minions. One night he was out for a kill, craving flesh and blood, and inadvertently saved Cassandra's youngest daughter of 12 years, Catherine. His kill of Catherine's attacker was coincidental, but Cassandra saw fit to reward him with another experimental program of horror. With ancient texts of alchemy and long-forgotten spells, what shred of humanity he had disappeared from his body, and he became a soulless being known as a homunculus. His mind returned, but it was a shell, a fabrication of a human mind. He no longer desired flesh, no longer sought out sadistic joys. All he wanted now was to please his new mother, Cassandra Remi.
His body became unstable, his very genetic material malleable and sensitive to magic and alchemy. His cells started rapidly regenerating, which gave Cassandra the idea to infect him with a new type of plague. While it would kill a normal person in hours, Draug was able to contain the disease as a host, which started mutating rapidly. As time goes on, his body becomes more like a death trap. The result, however, was that his organs would constantly start failing, and he had to replace them all the time. His emotions have become whittled down to almost nothing, his strongest feelings trapped in his mind, unable to be expressed in physical form. However, his demeanor was eerily stable. He became a killer with no remorse, but also no joy from the kill.

~Physical Abilities~
Summary: The natural abilities of your friendly neighborhood Homunculus! These are mostly attributes that increase through the act of assimilation.
Homunculus Regeneration: Draug has a highly-advanced system of healing that heals moderate wounds in several minutes; serious wounds, severed limbs, organ destruction and the like in half an hour and anything more serious than that several hours; and severe body mass loss and complete loss of functional body parts in hours.
Inhuman Existence: Draug's anatomy is a mutating mess that shifts and adapts to the frequent removal and addition of body parts, thus his vital organs are often interchangeable and mutate to fill the roles of failing or destroyed organs. Therefore, he can withstand serious damage and organ failure and function for days. However, the process is not instant, and there is a small delay of a minute or two before he can resume his daily functions. After a few hours his strength and motion control become very limited until he can properly replenish his organ supply.
Blood Compression: Due to his body's ability to store, replace, and utilize blood to form virtually any of his body parts and functions, Draug possesses twice the amount of blood of any normal human.
Homunculus Strength: Draug has 3x the strength of the average human. He's also able to fight in a primitive fashion, although sometimes he's able to pull a move or two out of an assimilated memory.
Pain Tolerance - Innate: Draug is able to ignore the results of stimulated nociceptors. The amount of pain he feels is a fraction of that felt by average humans, but the longer the battle the more pain he feels. (gained HERE.)
The Disease: Draug is infected. He carries with him a plague that would kill most humans within minutes, but he is able to survive due to being inhuman. This infection takes its toll on his organs, forcing him to constantly find replacements. Due his his malleable body, he is able to rip his replacements out of the bodies of his victims and then stick them into his own. If Draug's blood (or any dislodged part of him) splashes/makes contact with someone's body, they will start to experience symptoms of the plague within minutes (coughing, headaches, nausea, weakness, and eventually delirium) until they remove the blood or any other part of Draug they get on them for a long period of time. The plague however is too unstable to stick around for more than a few days, and is currently non-fatal. The exceptions are The Cult of The Blessed Torture and anyone else Cassandra Remi gave the cure to, who are immunized against the disease.
Night Vision: Draug sees as well in the dark as he does in the light. (gained HERE.) [Locked until level 4]
Body Manipulation: Draug can augment his body to create extra limbs, self-mutilation, stretch his neck or any part of his body, or otherwise manipulate his body in almost any way. This is a relatively slow process so it doesn't harm anyone who sees it coming. His manipulations are currently limited to shapes already possessed by his normal body, such as arms and legs. He cannot turn his body parts into blades or anything. (This is an upgraded version of the skill received HERE.)
Weapon/Armor Integration: Draug is able to absorb equipment into his body and compress it so it's unnoticeable in a specific place. Helmets integrate into head, chest armor integrates into chest. Armor that is integrated lies just under his outer layer of skin, offering that second layer of skin the same quality of protection as wearing that piece of armor. Weapons that are integrated do not offer any protection, but they can be forcefully (and bloodily) expunged to produce a projectile effect, or softly (still bloody) ripped out to use as a weapon. He currently only has the ability to integrate weapons and armor up to steel quality. He still has to buy/acquire them in order to integrate them. Oh, and if you manage to stab through his skin to reach the armored skin, it's the same sound as actually hitting real armor.
----------CURRENT LIST OF WEAPONS AND ARMOR INTEGRATED-----
WEAPONS: Two steel swords under each arm. One Steel dagger in center of chest. One Steel dagger in center of back.
ARMOR: A pair of Iron gauntlets in hands. Steel chain mail in chest. Iron helmet in head.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Assimilation: Started through the physical contact of The Homunculus with a target of his choosing. When a Homunculus wants to assimilate, its body becomes like a metaphorical sponge and accepts various types of genetic data: ranging from skin contact, hair contact, and even clothing and equipment contact currently used by the target. If there are multiple targets, and they all touch Draug simultaneously, it is random which genetic data is accepted, but only one can be accepted in the end. This process causes Draug to accumulate bits and pieces of his target's memory, including memories that may be buried so deep that even the target has forgotten them. If they have any interesting abilities, Draug can make use of much lower level versions of them in a limited fashion for two posts. He can not be under the influence of more than one assimilation at a time and can't use more than two assimilations in the same day.

Equipment: Black boots, black cotton pants with a thick belt, a crimson t-shirt, and a long, unzipped black coat whose sides extend down to the knees with a closed collar. Also, a steel short sword with a matching sheath placed on the left side of his belt. His clothes are a part of him and can be regenerated in the same manner as his flesh.
