Coriander

Name: Coriander
Age: 232
Birthday: October 14
Gender: Female
Species: Eldritch Arthropod
Category: Citizen
Career: Forbidden Forest Resident, Hermit

Appearance Description: Standing at 4’6, Coriander looks human at first glance though with several glaring differences. Her purple hair is composed of chitin, giving it an alien look. Here iris are black, with 3 red circles instead of a pupil. Her Mouth appears normal, but upon opening reveals many insectoid appendages for grabbing and manipulating food. Her hands are clawed. Her pale skin is smooth and hard to the touch, an exoskeleton in actuality.

Personality Description: Coriander is an insect enthusiast in all senses of the word. She plays with them, she cares for them, she thinks they’re cute, and she likes eating them as well. Even besides this, her eating habits are atrocious, enjoying the texture and taste of raw flesh, including both rotten flesh, and the flesh of humanoids. She has a distaste for most inhabitants of the island, viewing them as food, or playthings if she’s in a good mood, although she makes an exception to this rule for other arthropodic species, as well as those who share an enthusiasm for bugs as she does. She has a tendency to speak and act cutely, coming up with nicknames, often demeaning ones, for others. She is easily provoked, becoming angry with others, to the point of causing them harm, for the mere act of purposefully stepping on a bug. Coriander has a sadistic nature to her enjoying other people and animals pain.


Active Powers:
Entomancy - Coriander can summon and control all manner of bugs. While the number of creeps she can summon at once are numerous, there are limits. Coriander has approximately 1000 Bug points which can be allocated amongst the different sizes according to cost. Wimpy bugs (Flies, Common spiders, Grubs) cost 1 Bug Point Each, Small bugs (Centipedes, Tarantula’s Beetles, cockroaches) Are 2 Bug Points each, Medium bugs (About the size of a dog) are 25 points each, Large bugs (About the size of a car) are 500 Bug Points each. In order to switch out bugs of different sizes, the bugs which are to be gotten rid of must be killed, be eaten, or otherwise destroyed by enemies, Coriander herself, or other bugs under her control. Bug points have a cooldown in between when the bug is destroyed and when they can be used again of 1 post round for all but large bugs, which require 2 rounds.

Adaptation - Coriander can manipulated the adaptations and evolution of Arthropods, granting abilities, blending different insects together, and even adapting her own body with various insects abilities. Adaptations are applied through a liquid mutagen emitted through Coriander’s skin, with Medium and Large bugs requiring injections of it to take action. Adaptations can be applied to animals as well, although the effects are still insectoid. Humanoids are too complicated to be adapted easily.


Egg-scape - If sensing she is in mortal danger, Coriander can send out a bug, or multiple bugs, to relay memories to one of many eggs back at her residence in the forest which will hatch soon after. It takes about 2 weeks for this copy to grow back to the proper size, although it may take longer if food is scarce. This copy gets all memories from Coriander at the point the bug is sent out. Only Coriander may exist at a time.

Passive Abilities:
Exoskeleton - Coriander possesses an exoskeleton that protects her body from outside forces. This exoskeleton is about as sturdy as a steel suit of armor.

Unaging - Coriander is unaffected by the toll of time.

Insectoid adaptations- Coriander is capable of both flight due to wings on her back as well as walking on walls and ceilings. Her senses are drastically better than the average human. Compound eyes render her blind after about 25 feet, using sensitive antennas are used to detect surroundings beyond that.
Weaknesses:
Bug spray and other airborne toxins - Dangerously effective on Coriander and her swarms, with even common household bug sprays dealing with Wimpy bugs and stunning all but Large sized ones. Smoke, spray paint, deodorant and other similar sprays are all effective as well.

Fire - On top of producing smoke, which stuns both her and her bugs, fire is extremely effective at dealing damage to Coriander and her swarm.

Water - can kill wimpy and some small insects easily when sprayed. Wets wings decreasing ability to fly. Water cleans mutagen off skin, preventing its administration. Without modifying herself to incorporate some sort of water suriving insect into her body, Coriander cannot swim.

Cold - The cold will cause Coriander to become lethargic, extended periods leading to a hibernative state until body temperature rises.
