Troy Crane (5 Souls Spent) [+]

Name: Troy Crane (1)

Nickname:

Alias:

Gender: Male (2)

Form: Ascendant

Appearance: Troy is almost identical to the spirits that inhabit the rest of the afterlife, the only difference being that he is slightly more defined, possessing ears and a mouth, along with missing the white glow. This is only externally, however - internally, Troy is completely composed of a combination of maggots, larvae, and grubs, squirming just underneath his skin. These maggots can open holes in his flesh to escape and be used as weapons, and they appear to be a hive mind. Troy is of nondescript height, and weighs 170 pounds (77 kg), only 20 pounds (9 kg) of which being his skin, while the rest is the massive number of insects. The maggots are of varying sizes, but all are grey or white. Despite lacking a nose or eyes, Troy is capable of sight and smell.(3)

Personality: Troy can be described as animalistic above all else, perhaps due to his odd biology. He can not easily comprehend morality or honor, and considers only his own life as valuable. He believes that every creature places survival above all else, and will be completely perplexed if someone proves otherwise. Troy is not very smart when it comes to typical academics, but is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to biological sciences, especially the biology of insects. He is extremely analytical, refusing to fight an opponent that far outclasses him, only attacking when presented an obvious advantage. In comparison, Troy vastly prefers consuming souls that are of lower strength than him, as it is a far easier kill and puts him at less risk. As expected of someone who places so much value in his life, Troy will go to any length available in order to survive. While he tries not to show it, he seriously wonders how he was while he was still alive, only remembering a strange nostalgic feeling of calm whenever he sees an insect. Troy sees human beings as lesser beings, and is highly suspicious of machines, as he does not understand them very well. Finally, Troy will constantly try to tell those that ask that he is emotionless, since he views having emotions as weakness, despite the fact that he clearly feels emotions.

Troy's main, overarching ideology is survival of the fittest - he wishes to stay in a group as it provides security, not because he cares about the group or has a duty to help others. He is subject to narcissism and pride, and this could prove to be an incredibly large weakness. Additionally, considering his personality and beliefs, more civilized members of the afterlife could find him to be someone that is a monster and needs to die. Finally, while understandable, Troy is incredibly paranoid that a stronger spirit will try to kill him, and he is untrustworthy of those stronger than him. As a result of this fear, he will constantly be on the hunt to consume weaker spirits in order to grow stronger and protect himself. (5)

Insect Composition
Description: Troy is composed of maggots, larvae and grubs. Each individual weighs 20 milligrams, and Troy contains 3,402,000 in his entire body. These insects can all be controlled individually, or as a group, and Troy's skin is able to form holes for the creatures to escape outside the body. All the insects are capable of biting and burrowing into dirt or flesh, but are weak individually. As a result of having no vital organs, Troy is incredibly difficult to kill. Additionally, his insects are capable of regenerating while inside his body, able to produce 100,000 daily until he reaches his maximum. These insects can survive indefinitely outside of Troy's body and he is capable of seeing through them, but this still count towards his total. His skin heals at a normal rate, and is able to regenerate from a piece as small as a finger, though that would take years. While mostly benign, the intense heat caused by the maggots makes Troy's body temperature a sweltering 115 degrees Fahrenheit, which the insects only survive since they were genetically altered.

Consequences: Troy, while incredibly resilient to most forms of damage, is just as weak to bludgeoning damage as a normal person. Additionally, the insects that compose his body are still restricted by instincts. Outright suicide orders for a single insect may be okay, but commanding groups upwards of 10,000 into a fire or pool of acid would be resisted against. While insects can survive theoretically forever outside his body, Troy's body is the only place that they can reproduce, and losing that would essentially be a death sentence. While the insects are truly terrifying if they manage to get inside of an opponent and cause internal damage, they are pretty much useless against heavily armored opponents. Finally, Troy is physically weaker than the average person, as he only possesses insects for muscles.
