Still alive. Nobody has ended it yet.
Behavior
Has a specific relationship with display that goes beyond practicality. What it creates is an argument it keeps making. The argument is about hierarchy, authority, and permanence. You can disagree with it. It will note your position.
Appearance
Tall, unhurried, carrying what it has added to itself with the ease of something that has learned to work around its own modifications. The display is load-bearing in more than a structural sense.
Physical description
Tall, gaunt humanoid frame, unnaturally elongated spine forcing a stooped-forward gait. Body bristles with dozens of fused, bone-like spikes protruding from shoulders, back, and forearms, many skewering desiccated trophies of flesh and armor. Skin is grey, taut, ridged where old wounds knit around the spikes. Moves slow, deliberate, weight-shifted to favor its impaled cargo.
