Dylac


Dylac is a parasitic alien species who has infected a human host, speculatively known as a "Mignyan". Disguised, Dylac appears a perfectly ordinary human being—undisguised, as the majority of his species do, the host contort into horrors of flesh and teeth untold... it's only unfortunate that this talent, for him, manifests as a single mole beneath his eye.

About


Your first impression of Dylac would be—what's that on your face?—to which he would have a multitude of excuses for it (pimple, food, accessory, tattoo, tumor, got it from your mom, etc etc). The second would be how greasy and low-effort he looks, with a wardrobe that barely cycled to and from each clothing; but as soon as you've had the second thought, he's already where he wants himself to be: away from suspicious eyes. He used to think that the pathetic manifestation of his alien form was pathetic, jealous of his species' beautiful gruesome forms—now, he'd like to think he'd reaped the top of the gene pool, able to pass and live in the same host for centuries (the fact that he couldn't hide this undisguised form for more than a few seconds is a sore subject).

Despite such an unremarkable and perhaps kooky appearance, Dylac knows more than he lets on—he's lived for a long time, after all. Despite knowing so much, you'd think he'd use this to alter the course of human history; he prefers not to however, and would rather spend his time in his hundredth-time renovated home. The only real enthusiasm he has seems to be in the evolution of beer.

Personality


Having millenniums to perfect his personality, he has decided to go with the most boring one. He talks in a drawl, taking his time to think and speak; he'd look at you for half a minute until he responds. He speaks, unexpectedly, in intelligent and surprisingly formal manner—formal to the point it's a little out of touch with the current epoch—and his accent is unrecognizable. He'd say that it was his favourite dialect from "the few hundred thousand" he knew, and that he used "probably about a couple thousand" of them in his lifetime. 

His patience runs quite lengthily, but his existence in itself would probably wear yours out thin before long. He has no interest besides passive observation, and even then he's not too keen on analyzing what he has seen. He knows quite a lot, but "anything before that Jesus guy came" is "quite blurry".

Appearance


Dylac (or rather, the host) looks from an age where soap has not been invented. His eyebags have been maintained since 300BC, and appear drooped into his cheeks. He's generally quite untidy, face often dotted with stubble. His hair is likely full of grease, but you'd know that without touching it.

He appears quite lean, and bends at an alarming angle at the neck and back. His wardrobe isn't very extensive. He regularly wears a wife beater, shorts, woolly socks and sandals. He has a bit of a stomach from his drinking habits.

Mignyan Meta


Mignyan form
Undisguised, the mole beneath his left eye transforms into a tiny, circular patch of red meat, with a blue eye and a tooth. The crab, situated inside where the host's brain used to be, is some 20mm in diameter, with four feet and a single tooth upon its head. Dylac can't disguise himself for longer than a few seconds, though finds band-aids an easy (but very itchy) solution.

Host
The host originated from the Bronze Age (some 2500BC); some unremarkable and unsuspecting metalworker. This is his first host, and likely his only one; he has no interest in looking for another. He moves quite regularly, wherever he fancies—he's not too fond of this, as it requires a little bit of extra work (living undocumented and unnoticed was easier back then), but he was never caught by humans. He supposed it's because he has never committed tax fraud.

Invasion
Unsurprisingly, Dylac doesn't care about the invasion. It's nice to have friends of his fellow species, but they tend to be... quite radical in one aspect or another. As someone who had survived on a single host for such a long time, he'd probably be the perfect candidate to lead the invasion effort... but he has no interest in that.

Traits
He has common red meat, and rare flesh on face.

Trivia


  • Dylac knows many languages, a majority of them obsolete. He gets a laugh out of visiting museums.
  • He's generally known in the Mignyan circle as "Molenyan". He has yet to comment on this matter.
  • He collects several artifacts archaeologists and museum curators would die for. He thinks nothing of them but as souvenirs. He has Vase with Lychnis by Van Gogh as a tabletop tray. Most of it just serve as fixes to three-legged tables or used to scratch his back.
  • He likes beer.

Meta/Design


  • The "green" in his reference are just highlights, not hair dye.
  • The "shading" over his face is not optional.
