Character
Flyman
Created by Emo.Girl.JinxOnce a promising entomologist named Dr. Marcus Venn, he became obsessed with bridging the gap between human consciousness and insect physiology, believing that flies possessed a collective wisdom lost to mankind. During a catastrophic accident in his underground laboratory, an experimental fusion chamber malfunctioned while he stood within its threshold, simultaneously exposing him to a mutagenic swarm of genetically-modified flies he'd been cultivating for years. The transformation was neither instantaneous nor merciful—his body warped and reformed over agonizing weeks, his human form grotesquely compressed into a withered, crumbling visage that now serves as little more than a sensory organ atop a massive chitinous abdomen and thorax. His human mind remains trapped within this nightmare amalgamation, screaming silently as his new insectoid body moves with alien grace and instinct, compelled by drives he cannot fully comprehend or control. Though he retains fragments of his humanity and speech, Flyman has become something between research subject and monster, wandering the depths where he hides from a world that would destroy him. He searches desperately for others like himself, hoping that somewhere in this twisted existence lies redemption, or at the very least, an explanation for why the barrier between species was ever meant to be crossed.
