Photobash made with an alleyway stock image, Chris’ re8 model, and a photo of myself as reference for Ghost
Also no, Ghost isn’t tiny, she’s 5’5, Chris is just big in this form
Lore dump below the cut, be warned that while I’m faithful to the universe lore, I do take some mild creative freedom with infections and mutations
Having always been a fan of the lycan!chris theory since the RE8 announcement, I just had to get this out of my system with this photobash including how I imagine Ghost’s mutations to show since her own infection during the events of Village
At first I wanted to make it an AU next to my main fic, but I decided to incorporate it into my main fic cos hell… why not?
With Chris’ lycanthropy I’m playing on his team referring to him as alpha, imagining him being an alpha meaning that abilities are different from the average lycan. Outside of the full moon he has access to a partial transformation at will, bigger and stronger than his regular human form, hairier but not full fur, sharp teeth, clawed hands, glowing yellow eyes, pointy ears, and his strength being on par with the average lycan in this form
During the full moon he has access to a full transformation
I haven’t settled on the type of mutation for Ghost yet, and I might leave it undefined, but I have settled on her not being a lycan
I imagine her to have been treated to halt the progressing of the mould, or maybe being on a regular shot to keep it under control
So far her mutations only show up as increased speed and reflexes, more attuned senses, and eyes that reflect in the dark, but in general she seems like a perfectly normal human
Chris is aware of her mutations, and she is of his
bonus pic with a different effect that I also like lmao
Thinking about Chris and Ghost a lot atm and I like to imagine he has a bit of a possessive streak that only gets worse after his infection
Nothing overly toxic, but I can’t help but imagine that man is a yearner underneath that tough exterior, and why not have that yearning get distorted a bit due to his very well known fear of losing people?
Leon takes Ghost to the pier, but taking her photo is easier said than done
bonus:
Right after the first photo tho he was able to snap just tiniest of genuine smiles she would probably ever show
She has no idea he made this photo, and definitely has no idea he secretly carries it around in his wallet
...especially because at this point they're not even in a relationship, but ooo if he isn't head over heels with his pain in the ass partner...
also a little gif of the smile just because
