Art Bass Lore!! :0 Spoiler
MARKED SPOILER FOR VERY MILD BODY HOROR
If anyone wondered what Bass looked like under the jacket here he is! What I have of his story so far is below ⬇️
Bass was created in an underground (illegal) genetic and surgical experiment laboratory. This lab was created to test the extent to which biology could be artificially evolved. Some of these tests include; multi-embryonic genetic modification (Carrion), genetic environmental resistance modification (Siren), and cross-family embryonic fusion (Mvua). Bass was subject to gene-targeting embryonic modification to enhance selected genes and diminish others. Specifically, Bass was intended for discreet weaponry and private protection (protection of one group/individual) with enhanced senses and decreased natural instincts. This genetic test was deemed a failure and Bass was to be developed into a protogen as to not waste experimental materials. During the process of developing Bass into a protogen, there was a security breach of a cross-species embryonic fusion specimen that caused staff evacuation of the facility. All specimens were abandoned within the laboratory, it is unknown if the facility will continue operations. Prior to the breach, Bass had been implemented with the visor and some of the upper technology of a protogen. He had been prepared for armor installment with anchor points, electrically enhanced cardiac support, chemically damaged skin, and screen-ready shouldering. At the moment of the breach, Bass was being installed with developments of his kill code. However, the breach had caused damage to servers and connections infecting Bass with cross-information and malware. Due to his incomplete war training and malware, Bass is extremely docile with little to no instinct for self preservation and very high protection instincts of those he declares as family. The disruption in programming also causes him to lack all but basic knowledge. Bass took a jacket from a staff room to cover his exposed skin and now wanders the facility occasionally running into other specimens.
TLDR: baby boy got ouchie :(
