the basics (human details) 🔧 5'10, slim and wiry build 🔧 (formerly) black hair, brown eyes 🔧 Greek/Iranian heritage 🔧 40 years old, he will absolutely lie and say 35-37 if asked 🔧 kwisp rich boy accent/verbiage, primarily British thanks to boarding school but the Greek slips in heavier when he's excited or agitated the extras (alien details) 🛸 pearlescent chitin in plates over nearly half his head at this point, replacing his hair 🛸 the pupil of his right eye has split into a dozen or more smaller pupils that move and function independently of each other, some only visible when he looks far enough in the opposite direction - the feedback he gets from these gives him migraines and he keeps the eye covered with a patch more often than not 🛸 a weird fuckin arm made of the same pearlescent material, human in shape but just slightly off in both structure and form - too many joints, the individual bits are slightly too long, etc etc 🛸 a set of stabbers (there are two, one on each side) repurposed from his last set of ribs - these stay folded against his abdomen unless in use and are definitely, absolutely not necromorph ripoffs, no sir 🛸 the chitinous alien material is extremely strong and flexible, at the cost of being susceptible to acids - exposure to things as normally harmless as vinegar or citric acid weaken it considerably, and can dissolve or cause it to crumble given enough time 🛸 former alien hivemind, cut off from All Of That in Karteria, still has an extremely weird brain/perception as a result so lmk if any psychic types want to flashbang themselves the old busted (corruption details) 🦚 The plates in his hair lift and form crystalline feathers, as razory sharp as the chitin they were made from - darker, but still peacock-colored feathers mingle with his normal hair, giving it an iridescent sheen 🦚 normal feathers on the left (human) arm, the weird arm gets crystalline, malformed pinions that snap off early on but eventually grow in firm enough not to - they're sharp, and still not proper feathers, meaning he's totally incapable of flight and hampered in the gliding peacocks generally do 🦚 a peacock tail, some feathers also crystalline and malformed 🦚 lil elf ears w adjacent feather tufts 🦚 bird feet and talons - the talons on his left foot are also made of the pearlescent material, as his toes on that foot had started to turn 🦚 black nails/claws on the human hand, the fingertips of his alien one honing to an edge 🦚 iris of his human eye turns the same shimmery emerald as his (normal) feathers 🦚 teeth are sharper, come to a point; they have the same pearlescent quality as the alien parts of him the new hotness (shifted form details) 👑 working on this idk it's Simurgh coded Aves powers 🪶 Furies' sight 🪶 Orpheus' song 🪶 (replacing Sway of the Anemoi) Touch of the Simurgh, a healing ability that can reverse small injuries entirely and lessen moderate to severe ones, as well as cure lingering or non-fatal poisoning (has no effect on arcane radiation sickness, however). It can't bring people back from the dead or fix mortal injuries, but it may buy someone enough time in the latter case to seek medical attention. It also doesn't work on Hugh himself, lol

behavioral changes

[macgyver]

- impulses to make noise primarily, lesser so to sing
- general impulsivity (what's new), dialed up to 11; more prone to thieving or otherwise trying to strong arm his way into getting things he wants
- general greedy behavior, will become territorial towards food, tools, pretty much any and everything he values, womp womp
- peacock territorial behaviors
- the tailfan fluffing up/betraying his emotions in general
- increased vanity - and related depression, because he's Weird And Gross
- superficiality (again, what's new)
- preening behaviors, both for himself and favored people
- assorted peacock noises when startled, god help us all
