i have brainrot for @rattyarts Edgeworld setting, whoops. ANYWAY, meet my stupid hybrid idea. The bug and the man have been isolated. science prevails.
Outwardly appearing as a non-anthropomorphic, cartoony mantis, Norman Mann has been cursed with the true form of a HORRIBLE, WRETCHED THING, mercifully too blurry to make out any of its disgusting details. Norman himself is pretty embarrassed of this, and avoids taking his skin off unless absolutely necessary, which is unfortunately frequent when you don’t have any thumbs or fingers or normal arms. The thing inside his suit seems to change slightly every time it’s freed, cause I’m already struggling to find stock photos in the poses I need, let alone trying to keep a consistent look.
Altough he can look somewhat intimidating due to being a 6ft tall predatory insect with knives for hands, Norman is a very sweet, timid guy, and would much rather go unnoticed instead of being the center of attention. Despite this, he can often be seen with colorful, elaborate temporary tattoos and dyes, because pretty much every body mod artist he meets goes absolutely apeshit for the chance to work on those big beautiful wings and plates. i mean look at them, they’re like a blank canvas just BEGGING to be painted on! Norman usually obliges, because he’s a pushover and also deep down likes to feel pretty every now and then.
I still gotta figure out his job
