GOF-2003-006 — BODY-KIND / CLAW
GOFAR CASE ID: GOF-2003-006 CLEARANCE LEVEL: PUBLIC STATUS: STABLE
ALIASED DESIGNATION: CLAW BLESSING KIND: BODY-KIND
SUBJECT DEMOGRAPHICS — Date of Birth: 2003-09-03 — Nation of Origin: Malaysia — Guardian Status: Family
SUMMARY Subject was born with two large, raptorial, scythe-like bladed forearms instead of the standard forearms the majority of humans possess.
MANIFESTATION HISTORY — First Recorded Incident: 2003-09-03 — Age at Confirmation: Newborn — Circumstances of Discovery: Subject was born in █████ ██████ ████████ in Malaysia, at which point she was immediately identified as possessing deformed, bladed forearms by attending physicians. GoFar's Cons. Gianmario Altobelli was contacted immediately to review Subject's case, at which point the presence of Subject's blessing, CLAW, was confirmed.
CAPABILITY PROFILE — Primary Expression: The presence of two atypical bladed, raptorial forearms where Subject's human forearms would typically be. — Known Limitations: Subject struggles with fine-motor tasks due to a lack of fingers or thumbs. Her blades do not retract in any way, leaving their sharp edges constantly exposed. — Activation Conditions: Requires no activation conditions. — Physiological Impact: Subject's upper limbs diverge from typical human forearms distal to the elbow joint. The humerus remains typical in structure. At the elbow, the radius and ulna are fused into a single reinforced osseous column that broadens distally into a chitin-analogous composite blade structure. Blades are not true keratin or bone, but a dense bio-composite matrix composed of mineralized collagen fibres, a high-density keratin derivative and an unclassified protein lattice increasing torsional resilience. — Secondary Effects: No secondary effects reported.
ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS — Risk to Subject: Subject has previously reported several accidental self-injuries, primarily inflicted while much younger. As an adult, Subject reports having much better control over her blades. — Risk to Public: Subject has the potential to injure others with her blades either intentionally or accidentally due to their sharpness and size. — Recommended Safeguards: It is recommended that Subject keeps her blades covered and attends regular check-ins with her AMP to monitor the physiology of her arms as she ages. — Support Requirements: Subject wears two padded guard sleeves over her blades. Subject has also been fitted with two capacitive rubber caps distal to her elbow joints to allow her interaction with accessibility devices.
RESEARCH NOTES
