Profile


Personality

Much like most, if not all Vessels, this Vessel in particular has no real personality and acts on it's own personal impulses. Being a Vessel reanimated by infected parasites, this twists the Vessel's original intentions and puts it on good terms with other infected bugs. Though being an unarmed Vessel leads it to flee in most situations with enemies. Ironically, it seems to enjoy being with other infectees (excluding the mantid); kindly interacting with them, sharing finds, and other kind doings. Despite it being both infected and a vessel, it is very well capable of making personal decisions.

About

As mentioned before, this Vessel has been reanimated by infected parasites. Despite having no weapon, they may still pose a threat to non-infectees as they still know fighting tactics. It will use rocks, metals, and some of its own parasites to defend itself and flee. The Vessel tends to always stay away from those who hold blades however. 

If the vessel manages to find or steal a nail, it'll use the nail to help itself kill an attacker or intruder or have a better chance at fleeing with a bit of offense. 

Other

  • For a vessel, they can move rather fast compared to some of it's kin.
  • Killing the vessel will kill the parasites with it.
  • Typically resides in the Queen's Gardens, but can be seen in neighboring areas.
