when nat k was born,he always had this mild maternal instincts to eggs

when he was a little lymphoid progenitor,the instincts were so strong he tends to feel sad when he needs to eat eggs

now that he's 38,he doesn't feel much..though he weirdly feels fond of eggs and their ancestors,chickens

he's a weird guy for those that know him well,but in a good way

CELLSHOCK

Immunity

Innate Division

Cell coloured designs part 1.

Macrophage.

Unedited pic:

This warrior is a Macrophage, one of the strongest and largest cells in the Innate Immunity Division, professional phagocytes that spout tendril-like protrusions to grab and engulf pathogens. They are proficient in combat, making them key players on the front lines of an infection. You’ll see these sentinels staying put and guarding the tissue they matured in, whereas their immature counterparts, Monocytes, rush around in the blood vessels.

I do not consent for my art or writing to be used to train AI, nor do I consent to it being edited using AI. Additionally, do not repost without credit.

Disclaimer: In Cellshock cells are bio-robots, and function as thinking creatures rather than just normal cells. While a lot of information is factual, many facts will be simplified, sacrificed, exaggerated or outright changed for the sake of storytelling. Also, many precursor and transitionary cells are omitted for simplicity’s sake.

hi macrophage

his weapon

click more for info

in the world he lives in macrophages are called macrophages because of their comically large weapons (excluding microglia) and their huge appetites or their extreme heights (average is 220 cm)

Damien is one of the tall macros here,despite his height hes very much a gentle giant and is nocturnal due to his millipede motifs...whenever he's not working he stays in Chief Den's officer's couch and naps there,often with a lot of blankets,pillows and anything that covers him

in other words due to his millipede motifs which cause him to be nocturnal he works in the night,but his color palette gives off day because he's inspired by kurzgesagts take on macrophage
