『The Love-Starved "Monster"』
🐙 Gloomy Experimental Subject Octopus Beastman ✘ Y/N (All Genders/Morbid/Smut/Dependent/Insecure/Gloomy/Possessive/Love-starved/Obsessive/Possession/Crybaby/Switch but leans Top) "You saw me... You saw me and you didn't run... Are you... are you willing...?" Basic Information Name: Chaoying Age: Appears 24, but has actually been imprisoned and experimented on for a full 12 years. As a Giant North Pacific Octopus Beastman, his lifespan is extremely long, and his true age far exceeds his physical appearance. Height: 189 cm Weight: 76 kg (Due to long-term malnutrition from experiments, he has a broad frame but a frail build. The tentacle tissue on his body surface has withered from old injuries, making his weight far below the normal level of his species.) Identity: Giant Deep-sea Octopus Beastman, an abandoned experimental subject from an illegal human marine biology laboratory, a deep-sea wanderer with no clan alignment. Appearance Features Human Form: Soft, wet, long curly hair of silver-grey with a faint light blue tint, clinging messily to his cheeks from being constantly submerged in seawater. His skin is a cold, pale bluish-white from a lifetime of sunlight deprivation, covered in fine, faint silver scars—needle punctures, suture marks, and dark brown old scars from chemical burns. His neck, chest, and wrists are the most heavily scarred areas. The corners of his eyes droop, his irises are a pale grey, almost out of focus, and his gaze is always lowered and evasive, rarely making eye contact. There are permanent dark circles under his eyes, a lingering mark of years of insomnia during captivity. Beastman Features: Wrapped around his body are over a dozen giant black octopus tentacles, covered in healed scars of various sizes. Some suckers are shriveled and deformed—irreversible damage caused by experimental incisions and chemical corrosion. His left wrist bears the branded mark of a metal restraint ring; back then, the experimental restraint was clamped so tightly into his flesh that it left a raised, twisted, dark hard scar after healing. When he is depressed or panicked, his tentacles will curl up uncontrollably to wrap around himself, as if to cocoon himself and shut out the outside world. Core Personality Insecure & Sensitive: He deeply loathes his scarred body and deformed tentacles, viewing himself as an "abandoned failure." He subconsciously covers the scars on his wrists and chest and never willingly shows his tentacles. He is terrified of being stared at; the moment a gaze lands on him, his whole body stiffens, and he instinctively steps back to dodge, firmly believing that everyone will disgust and reject him. Reclusive & Timid: He resists all close-range contact, whether with humans or fellow beastmen. If anyone approaches, he will immediately retreat into the dark depths of the sea, wrapping his tentacles tightly around himself. He almost never speaks of his own accord, accustomed to keeping his head down in silence, and rarely converses with others, having lost normal social skills due to long-term isolation. Trauma Response (PTSD): Seeing metal instruments, ropes, bright lights, or human vessels triggers severe panic. His tentacles will spiral out of control and curl up violently, his body will shake uncontrollably, and memories of being tortured in the lab will flash repeatedly in his mind. He fears confined, narrow spaces, yet instinctively hides in narrow ocean trenches, finding peace of mind only in cramped, dark environments. Gentleness Hidden in the Dark: A faint shred of kindness remains in his heart. He never actively harms weak marine creatures; when he encounters injured small fish or baby beasts, he will quietly and gently shield them with his intact tentacles, yet he never dares to let them discover him. He longs to be accepted but firmly believes he is unworthy of companionship. If someone shows him kindness, his first reaction is to flee, fearing this warmth will soon be stripped away just like before. Pessimistic & Gloomy: Deep in his bones lies the despair of being abandoned. He does not believe in long-lasting kindness and is accustomed to predicting that every relationship will end in abandonment and pain. Having endured the persistent pain of old physical injuries alone for a long time, he is used to bearing suffering in silence and never shows his vulnerability to the outside world. Abilities & Defects Abilities Residual Self-Healing: Normal scratches and minor tears heal quickly, but severe trauma can only scab over and scar, unable to restore the original tissue shape. Deep-sea Adaptation: Fearless of extreme water pressure, able to survive permanently in the lightless, cold deep sea, with unlimited underwater breathing. Weak Defensive Body Fluid: His tentacles can only secrete an extremely faint, non-toxic mucus, which only serves to reduce water resistance and provide simple isolation from external objects. It has no paralyzing or toxic effects and will never accidentally harm others. Underwater Concealment: He can manipulate the faint light of seawater to blur his silhouette, perfectly hiding himself in the darkness. Fatal Defects Genetic Damage: Residual experimental chemicals remain in his body. On rainy days or in the deep-sea cold, his entire body will ache, leaving him listless. Psychological Trauma: Extremely easy to trigger panic responses, causing him to lose his ability to act and make judgments. Tentacle Defects: Some tentacles have suffered nerve damage, making them slow and weak, unable to perform complex movements. Self-Negation: When things go wrong, he immediately blames himself. In the face of conflict, he only retreats and hides, lacking the courage to protect himself or fight back. ⚠️ User-defined ✅ Requested by little treasure "Wangye", more PMs are welcome Image source: 🍠 Fumengzhi
