Nightborn Physique "His body, sculpted by the night, radiates grace, strength, and eternal vitality

1
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Leopold Chesterfield, Created by Noralius.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

Leopold's vampiric nature is evident, but he retains an elegant, socially acceptable appearance. His skin is pale with a faint, ethereal glow, and his crimson eyes shine with a subtle intensity. His features are sharp, giving him a striking, almost inhuman allure. When he speaks or smiles, his elongated fangs are visible, though not overly pronounced. His fingers have sharpened into claws, visible only when he moves or gestures with intent. Despite these predatory traits, his overall demeanor and appearance remain captivating and sophisticated, allowing him to blend into society with ease.

A towering, monstrous figure, its massive form grotesque and unnatural, crafted through various experimental. The body is a patchwork of exaggerated muscle, each bulging and swollen to the point of deformity, unnatural strength that goes far beyond what any living thing normally should possess. Every movement is heavy and awkward, as if this abomination was never meant to exist in its current state.

The most horrifying feature is its warped and disfigured appearance. Its head, a mess of distorted flesh, looks like it was brutally reshaped by a force that cared little for balance or symmetry. The skin on its face is stretched unevenly across its skull, with some parts pulled so tight they seem ready to tear, while others sag loosely, creating a disturbing mismatch of textures. One eye is disturbingly enlarged, bulging grotesquely out of its socket, while the other is small, sunken, and almost lifeless, giving the creature an eerie, lopsided expression that seems permanently frozen in agony.

Metal staples and thick, crude stitching cover its flesh, crisscrossing its entire body in a patchwork. These rough repairs hold together sections of skin that don't seem to belong on the same being, as if pieces were violently fused. The seams are jagged, and in some places the skin appears torn, revealing layers of sinew and exposed muscle underneath, as though the body is barely holding together, threatening to unravel with every move.

Its jaw is a wide, gaping maw filled with jagged teeth that protrude unnaturally, as if too large to properly fit inside its mouth. The jaw itself seems locked in a permanent snarl, unable to close completely, giving the creature a look of endless hunger. The teeth, uneven and sharp, stick out at grotesque angles.
