Full Name: Alan Gulley
Nicknames: Al, Bug-Face, Homo Entoid Alpha
Age: 17
Sex: Male

Appearance:
Alan looks pretty standard from the nose up. An uncombed mop of sandy blonde hair and soft baby blue eyes. Below the nose is where things start to get weird.

As one of the more... severe mutations VTK Industries has experimented with, Alan has some... unique body features. While he does have a full head of teeth that appear to have exactly the kind of oral hygiene you would expect to find in an incredibly illegal genetic testing facility, most people are distracted by the two large ant-like mandibles protruding from the sides of his mouth, stretching out in front of his face.

Moving down from the mandibles, Alan's body is skinny, a sign of not being fed enough, and remarkably bony. The other important thing to night is the extra pair of arms he has, protruding out under his fourth pair of ribs. These arms are identical to his normal pair, and he has just as much control over them as the rest of his body. There's nothing unusual about the rest of Alan's body, except for his complete rejection of any sort of shoes or socks. Overall, he comes out to 5'9" and 220 pounds, a surprising weight for such seemingly malnourished person. This weight is caused by the barely noticeable exoskeleton that encompasses almost his entire body.

Personality:
When comfortable, Alan is compassionate, cheery, and a little bit goofy. Unfortunately, he's basically never comfortable. Most of his true personality has been overpowered by years of abuse and torture.
The end result is a broken man who is distrustful, constantly paranoid, and scared of just about anything larger than a mouse.

The most severe effect of Alan's abuse, however, are his feelings complete and utter distrust and repulsion towards women. He can barely stand to be in the same room as one. If a female touched him, he'd probably have an emotional breakdown of terror. On the other end, his reactions are similar to how most people react to his appearance.

Biographical Information:
Alan doesn't remember anything from before Facility #39 anymore, he's pretty sure they used some sort of drug to make him forget. He knows he arrived there when he was only 12 years old. Alan was scared, taken from wherever it was he lived, and he only found comfort when a slender woman took him by his hand and smiled at him. Her name was Dr. Scheidegger, and she seemed nice enough. Her voice was warm and welcoming, like the mother Alan had never known. Alan wiped away his tears as she handed him a cookie, and asked him if he was scared of insects. He told her that he never was, he used to play with the cockroaches in his room. That was when the sedative from the cookie took affect.

That night, and many nights throughout the next 5 years, Alan would find out that Dr. Scheidegger wasn't a nice woman at all. She was what the other test subjects called either a "sadist" or "evil bitch". The mutations and experimentation she put Alan though were superfluously excruciating, involving more pain and deep cuts than was required for his mutations. The worst part of it all was how the entire time, Dr. Scheidegger would talk to him in the same warm maternal voice she used when he first was brought in. Like she was mocking him. His nightmares were haunted by that same damn voice.

Facility #39 no longer exists. It burned down in some sort of "accident" where Alan was the only survivor. They found him shivering in the ashes of the lab, tears streaming down his face. All security footage had been lost. VTK Industries had had no idea of the sadistic experimentation of Dr. Scheidegger, and they were appalled when they discovered her research notes. They transferred him to Facility #41, planning to continue the testing of his abilities without the sadistic experimentation. Only Alan knows the exact cause of the "accident". Only he remembers the riot held by the prisoners after a successful escape from their cells. Only he remembers tying the bitch down, dousing her in the most flammable chemicals they could find. And only he remembers thinking it smelled like some sort of gas right before they lit her up.

At Facility #41, Alan is mostly held in his own prison cell away from the rest of the facility, for fear that he might scare the other subjects.

Ability:
Homo Entoid - Alan's mutation, as a product of Facility #39, is more severe than others. Through a combination of genetic manipulation and surgeries, he is a freakish combination of insect and man. This causes several significant changes to his physiology.

Mandibles: Alan's large mandibles are there in addition to his actual mouth. They are incredibly strong, able to bite down with more force than an alligator. In addition, special pheromone receptors and producers are inside of them, giving Alan and enhanced sense of smell as well as the ability to create insect pheromones. This allows him a form of control over insects, using his chemicals to tell them what to do.

Arms: Alan's mutations come with an extra pair of arms, situated right under his fourth set of ribs. He has full control of these arms, and is able to move them as nimbly as he is his regular pair. Also, both his hands and feet are covered in a large number of small bristles, allowing him to climb up most surfaces.

Exoskeleton: Almost all of Alan's body is covered in a barely noticeable exoskeleton. It surrounds his skin, fusing with it in some place, giving him a resilient suit of natural armor. It blocks the force of most physical blows, and the particularly thick parts are even capable of blocking bullets. The downside of the exoskeleton is it is very rigid, so it makes his movements look unnatural, like a robot.

+ Alan has very good instincts, and is able to think on his feet surprisingly fast.
- His distrustful nature makes teamwork very hard
- His lack of interaction along with his distrustful nature makes him generally unable to talk to other without being a bit awkward.
