So, the poll is a vote for what forms the SI will take in the near future of the story. Forms because he will have an eldritch monster form, and a human disguise form. The proposed forms were created by readers, and a complation of them can be found in this post:

Compiled list of options, for ease of comparison:

The Folded Prince : Unman, Polyp
by OneGiantDunceCap
Tempted to suggest Un-man + Polyp Builds. They just work so well together.

With forehead marker, nonexistent somatic process and dermal lines.

The core concept involving noneuclidean geometry and space folding.

Basically, the human suit is a higher dimension origami that folds away the true form along the dermal lines, starting from the forehead marker.

With the main form being a radially symmetric fleshy wrinkle in space time in the vague shape of a person, that looks the exact same shape when viewed from any angle, and doesn't really move or articulate along joints, but warps and stretches as if being bent along by space.

Human form could be just any regular person with lines

Maybe something like this, with the black parts are folded in, not flat.
And wispier greenish energy highlights glowing out the holes.



Luminal Archetype:
Honestly, not good at selecting palettes, but probably something associated with eldritch energies? Thats usually portrayed as Violet or Green.

dark Violet body with Glowing green rifts?

Maybe a fleshy pink secondary color highlights, like parts of the outer fake skin cover remaining in patches after it inverts.

Pick one major and two minor.
Minor Flaws
1. Forehead Marker.
2. Non-Existent Somatic Processes.

Major Flaws
1. Dermal Lines.

Also toying with the idea of its natural weapon being a weaponized internal pocket of folded space.
Kind of like giving things a big hug, but they come out the other end looking like an inverted flesh nugget star trek transporter accident, as a consequence of being pushed into a space that was folded into a Klein bottle.
The Ivory Haemotrope : Organ, Unman
by Ramarok
I think an Organ-UnMan with the abnormal oral traits, Non-Existent Somatic Processes and the living tatoos could be cool. like a mix between some of the more fleshy tomie incarnations and these:
Edit : Adding in the colours and description of human form
Main: A pale ivory tinged with yellow, almost pus like
Trim: A reddish pink like slightly darker lungs
Weapon: a dark brownish red like almost congealed blood
Glow (for eyes and tattoos): bright crimson
human form: tall, over 2 meters but with thin limbs that grow thicker towards the appendages and an overlarge torso given that they would look otherwise undernourished, their ribcage straining against their skin, looking as though it is trying to hold more in their body than it should. on their face, the number of teeth and identifying features such as moles, hairs and proportions are oddly inconsistent, never changing enough that you wouldn't recognise them at a glance but if one were to study them closely over time the effect would be like a new identical twin every day, the same face but having been shaped by different environmental factors.
The Amethyst Guivre : Salamander, Geode, Bird
by Dirty Deeds Done, and here. Embellishments by owrtho
I think the salamander geode and the bird, major drawback Living Tattoos, minor drawbacks Eerie Glowing Eyes, and Abnormal Oral Traits, magic fire breathing lizard for the win, weird teeth and eyes for intimidation Something like this but with gems coming out of it and dark purple and green

How the human looks like, he is tall, has black hair, has yellow snake eyes, he has sharp teeth and a long tongue, he is also a little buff.
Sorry I am not good at human characters
As a bit of advice, if you struggle with describing human characters in a context like this, then don't bother doing so. Focus instead on how they fail at being human, and lovingly detail that with a sense of "so horrible you can't look away but instead must see it through".

For instance, the character might be a 190cm brunet wall of muscle with olive tan skin, or they might be a scrawny 130cm redhead who's stick thin limbs seem more likely to break if they throw a punch than hurt their opponent. But no one is going to care enough to pay attention to that and notice when seen alongside that horrid slavering maw, less a mouth so much as a gash upon their face. It lacks lips, and seems too thin, almost vanishing when closed, yet as it opens it can be seen to stretch far too wide, seeming almost to escape the confines of their head. Inside lay not orderly rows of teeth, but a jagged field of spikes, seemingly scattered without pattern or reason, yet each shaped to pierce and tear the flesh of anything unfortunate enough to find its way inside. And that tongue, a long twisting thing, with edges that seem almost to match the teeth in sharpness, is coils through that deadly field to grasp up any morsels trapped within and pull them deeper into its gullet. Such is its length I fear it could reach beyond the things arms were it so inclined to extend it full from the mouth. Sat above this affront to that which we call mouths rest two eyes. Placed as one might expect of a person, yet they too are twisted. Lit with a sickly yellow glow, they are not the eyes of a man, but more a snake, with no distinction between iris and white, the whole of the eye is coloured by a web of yellow so thick and overlapping as to render whatever lies beneath unseen, save for the pupil, a vertical black slit reaching from the bottom to the top, harshly defined from the surrounding eye. It's black looking far darker and deeper than any eye should as it seems almost to pull in and feed on the light around it.
The Fractured Memory : Unman, Polyp, Salamander
by TJG
Form of Man: Average sapient being in an effective 2 mile radius. It acts more like a reality perception filter where the it appears to be the averaged appearance of all sapient beings within 2 miles at that time or when the last sapient being is within that radius. This normally causes a subtle change in appearance as sapients enter and exit the range, though the change can be quite dramatic or appears to even be twins for very low population areas. This also tends to make it look somewhat androgynous in many areas. The appearance makes it somewhat easier to disguise itself in a crowd from a distance, though appearance changes only has a subtle supernatural size changing effect on clothing and equipment worn and there is a perception of uncanniness in close viewers from the shifting of appearance.
Major Flaw: Variant Living Tattoos. Similar in appearance, but it is more related to the Astral Biology in that it is more of an outward expression of a cognitohazard on underlying eldritch truths that it uses to absorb abilities. It does not provide it with boosts to its magical abilities like the other major flaws. While normal mortals only find the designs to be disturbing or beautiful, those who have greater perceptions of reality or tied to concepts are under the real danger of having their existence being overwritten by this. Such conceptually-connected beings instinctively avoid ever being coming within perception range of effect of him and consider him an existential threat.
Minor Flaws: Variant Odd Distal Pigmentation and Variant Odd Hair Colour and Variant Non-Existent Somatic Processes. The shifting average appearance as described above. Strangely enough he will still be able to handle tools like a human even if the only sapients around look like talking dogs or worms.


Luminal Archetype: A reality shifting of appearance to be more like the Form Unveiled (maybe like the Burning Godzilla).


Form Unveiled: Un-man+Polyp+Salamander. Shin-Godzilla including its hyper-evolution growth. Maybe eventually looking like Godzilla Earth or the more recent anime, though possibly all forms will be less than 6 feet tall.

A lot of powerful beings would treat him like a cosmic eldritch threat; and with the above, they would not really be wrong to think so.
The Crimson Spiral : Wyrm, Polyp, Organ
by owrtho, SB posts
Living Doll is original version that was noted to be akin to full grown. Danger Noodle is toned down version.
The Living Doll :
  • Form of Man : The shape of a man is a delicate thing. To stray far give way to cries of monster, yet to come too close and yet miss the mark still leads into the uncanny where cries of evil are the norm. Better then to aim for something close, yet not so perfect, for this world has many that deviate from the human norm in some manner or another, what is one more?

    A glance would suggest a pallid individual wearing some manner of leather trench coat or duster, covering all their body save for their arms, legs, and face. The ashen grey skin looking unhealthy at a distant glance, but a close look seeming more artificial, like that of a porcelain doll rather than a person. Smooth, unblemished, with a slight shine that gives the impression of harness rather than the softness of flesh. Yet it moves like flesh all the same, suggesting some manner of metagene, or perhaps running afoul magic of some nature. Their hair is a dark red, almost black, that seems a near match for the leather of their coat, or at least it would, were it not speckled with grey consistently enough to mask the resemblance. The eyes in turn are the usual white sclera with irises a dark shade of grey, yet the irises glimmer with flecks of bright purple. An unusual colouration, but not an especially strange one given the world, and certainly less remarkable than their skin. At least, it isn't strange so long as one fails to recognize each fleck of purple as a separate eye, with the dark grey simply the darkness they exude on the sclera, clustered together in a way that gives the impression of a normal human iris.

    Their coat is an unusual thing, but hardly stands out next to their skin. A dark, near black leather, but it seems to gleam red when the light hits it right, providing a look that some would likely be quite interested to incorporate into their own fashion. Design wise it seems to be an almost floor length coat, double breasted with two layers, the outer one cutting off at about hip length, and a shoulder cape that curs off mid chest level. It's design manages to conceal look sturdy, while concealing most features of the body beneath. A fortunate thing, as looking inside would reveal a body not remotely human, but closer to a great coiled myriapod, for which the garment is but a small bit of flesh wrapped around the bulk of its body, and the human hands, legs, and head are but a few of many such limbs, to say nothing of the innumerable less human ones. The length dotted in scintillating purple sketching shifting patterns along the length in what only those already aware would recognize as eyes.

    At times, one might see extra arms extend out from beneath the shoulder cape or outer layer of the coat, though the occurrence is rare so as to better blend in. It is also from these depths that long sweeping limbs edged in blades of what looks to be red liquid metal can extend if combat is required.

    In situations where the greatcoat would not be viable, it can be replaced by a torso covering diving suit of similar material. Though the tighter fit and lack of slits for other limbs leave that option less desirable.

    Should sufficient external force strike the ashen grey skin, it will prove to crack and shatter like the porcelain it resembles rather than rip, tear, or compress like the skin it usually behaves as. Beneath the cracks one may glimpse dark red flesh matching the coat, even as scintillating flecks of purple gather around the crevasses, the eyes drawn to the small space to look out.​

  • Luminal Archetype :
    • Main : A glistening red, so dark as to seem almost black. It seems less a surface, and more a yawning pit of unfathomable depths, in which something may gleam red chance light falls upon it.
    • Trim : An ashen grey, seeming less of flesh, and more of enamel or bone of some nature. Even as it seems to fold and shift properly, it manages to appear as if the product of some kiln. Too smooth and without imperfection, like the porcelain of a doll, tasked to seem as flesh, rather than something actually alive.
    • Weapon : Like mercury cast in red, its fluid appearance belies its solid nature and harsh edge. It is as if the glistening red of the flesh were pulled to the surface, rather than left to linger in its distant void.
    • Glow : A scintillating purple, as if electric, yet it seems to radiate darkness rather than illumination, casting in shadows all it touches save for the purple glow, seeming all the brighter for the contrast.

  • Form Unveiled : And lo, there came a great serpent in the sky, and from it's from an uncountable number of limbs reached out, grasping beyond reckoning as it swam through the air like a bird flies in the sky. Were those limbs wings? There seemed no membrane between those digits, yet surly the flesh of each did meet that of the one adjacent, no matter how far they spread. Or did those impossible fingers simply find purchase somewhere distant beyond mortal ken, letting the being walk as it passed overhead? I did not seek answers in its presence, could not, for I feared to find myself lost had I moved. Every sweep of its limbs seemed to shift the land around it, distorting space till I was unsure if taking a step would move me inches or miles. Where this distortion went to far, I saw space itself crack, gaining weeping wounds that tore at the land they passed. It was only after wake of its passage had faded and the world began make sense again as it distributed itself rightly, that I dared leave my spot to spread warning.

    A massive serpentine shape, from which sprout numerous wings. They are not paired, but rather seem to spiral down its length, each consisting of long thin digits that seem to dwindle into the distance rather than having some discernable length, yet even still they can be used to walk upon or for fine manipulation, the tips seeming to come into present focus only when needed for such. There are no membranes between the fingers of the wings, yet space seems to distort as they spread, allowing the flesh between them to reach and capture the air. With each beat, they seem not to push against the air, but space itself, causing it to distort and shift, changing relative distances between areas along the creatures length as it swims through the sky, though this effect will fade soon after its passage.

    Beyond the wings, the serpent has other limbs, tendrils that seem to sprout from its surface without seeming pattern. Yet to call them simple tendrils or limbs does not do them justice. They seem less a part of the creature, and more cracks in space rendered by the passage of its wings and spreading out as roots from the affront to reality that is their source. These wounds in reality bleed a red liquid like metal that clings to their edges, yet as they pass through obstruction, it does not give way like liquid should, but rather rends it like the harshest blade.

    The dark red flesh of the serpent is broken up by plates of ashen grey bone and shifting patterns of scintillating purple eyes that seem to swim freely through the void in which sits the red of its flesh. Often as it twists and moves the bony plates will crack and break, often resulting in a congregation of eyes within the cracks, rendering them darker, yet more brilliant with their presence.

    The serpent lacks a proper head, for what need is there for one when eyes swim freely along its length, yet there is a maw at one end. A seven jawed thing, that seems to open as if a flower, revealing scintillating purple petals, glistening red metal stamen-like tongues and thorn like teeth as it speaks with a voice like a beautiful song, touching the mind and soul with feelings of reassurance and safety.​

    • The Wyrm : The form echoing the design of a worm or serpent. It either has no limbs or hundreds upon hundreds of small appendages running across its body. (Giant Attack Tail Binkaku Kagune style)
    • The Polyp : Unlike bilaterally symmetrical organisms, the Polyp design is radial in shape, or at least, is mostly radial. (Local Non-Euclidean Region)
    • The Organ : It is a purely asymmetrical shape, or resembling a bulbous mass of tissue. Very likely has citae, tendrils or cyst like growths. (Greater Psionics)
    • With hints of The Tree : A tree like form, with branches, roots and even leaves, though may not necessarily be out of plant matter. (Distant Seeds)

  • Flaws :
    • Minor Flaws : Perhaps more than the required two, but they all seem to apply.
      • Eerie Glowing Eyes : Sclera of alien colour and a shine of the eye. At least the glow isn't noticeable during the day. Just make sure to wear good sunglasses.
        Sclera is the normal white, yet the iris is a dark grey with flecks of purple. Despite looking normal in light, the flecks of purple seem to show clearly in any lighting, even darkness.​
      • Odd Distal Pigmentation : Your hands and feet tend to have an oddly coloured pigment. Better keep those gloves and shoes on in public. (Cannot pick this and Distal Aberration at the same time)
        Head, hands, and feet seem to be made of ashen grey porcelain.​
      • Odd Hair Colour : Yes, I just dyed my hair white with a red band, and I don't care what you say, I think it looks cool. (Colours are affected by Luminal Archetype)
        Hair is an even mix of Main and Trim colours, to better conceal that they match the skin and "leather" coat.​
      • Non-Existent Somatic Processes : You don't need to breathe… or even eat for that matter. Even the way you move that makes people get weird vibes about you. Heck, you oftentimes forget to even blink! Sometimes it happens in public and… well… some people find it unsettling… but they can't quite tell what it is. Most of the time.
    • Mayor Flaws : Probably intended to be Major, but Mayor it is.
      • Distal Disguise : Like an inversion of Distal Aberration, only the limbs are truly disguised, the torso is clearly inhuman. Fortunately a torso is easier to hide with clothing, yet it's also less useful for direct attack. +Magic, +Transformation.
      • If the above is invalid: Living Tattoos : Your entire body is covered in artworks that seem to possess a life of their own, moving and swirling in non-Euclidean patterns and bizarre designs. While aesthetically pleasing… if somewhat disconcerting, they surely do draw a lot of unwanted attention at times. The great perk is that it boosts acts of thaumaturgy and sorcery as the tattoos often are arcane nexus designs. ++Magic.
The Danger Noodle :
  • Form of Man : The shape of a man is a delicate thing. To stray far give way to cries of monster, yet to come too close and yet miss the mark still leads into the uncanny where cries of evil are the norm. Better then to aim for something close, yet not so perfect, for this world has many that deviate from the human norm in some manner or another, what is one more?

    A glance would suggest a pallid individual wearing some manner of large towel, covering all their body save for their arms, legs, and face. The ashen grey skin looking unhealthy at a distant glance, but a close look seeming more artificial, like that of a porcelain doll rather than a person. Smooth, unblemished, with a slight shine that gives the impression of harness rather than the softness of flesh. Yet it moves like flesh all the same, suggesting some manner of metagene, or perhaps running afoul magic of some nature. Their hair is a dark red, almost black, that seems a near match for the leather of their coat, or at least it would, were it not speckled with grey consistently enough to mask the resemblance. The eyes in turn are the usual white sclera with irises a dark shade of grey, yet the irises glimmer with flecks of bright purple. An unusual colouration, but not an especially strange one given the world, and certainly less remarkable than their skin. At least, it isn't strange so long as one fails to recognize each fleck of purple as a separate eye, with the dark grey simply the darkness they exude on the sclera, clustered together in a way that gives the impression of a normal human iris.

    Any examination more thorough than a cursory glance gives away the lie that it is a towel covering the being. It takes little knowledge to recognize it as being more akin to large wings wrapped around the body, trying to cover the form within by way of their membranes. If some force or movement should cause them to cede their task, the body revealed within resembles a man not one whit. Rather, is it a long, serpentine thing, coiled tight in a column the approximate size of a man's torso, with a headless maw sat upon the breast below the neck. A myriad of limbs, most wing like as those large ones that cover it dot its length, but so too do occasional limbs that mimic a man's similar to the ones it reveals to the world. The nature of its coiled and shifting form suggest a larger size than should fit within the space containing it, as if the wing like limbs have managed to grip some excess of space from the surroundings and pack it tightly within that it might have sufficient room.

    The skin is a black that seems to glisten with red highlights, though the red seems almost to come from deep within the material rather than being present on the surface. It's broken up by occasional plates of ashen grey porcelain, matching the humanoid limbs, and scintillating purple patterns cover its length, shifting and changing as the glowing flecks move through the flesh. Their nature as innumerable eyes is clear only to those already aware. Occasionally, as the coiling beast's coils tighten upon themselves, thin cracks seem to web across the surface, not yet toughing the flesh, yet bleeding a metallic red all the the same, before they fade away as if they never were.

    At times, one might see extra arms extend out from beneath the shoulder cape or outer layer of the coat, though the occurrence is rare so as to better blend in. It is also from these depths that long sweeping limbs edged in blades of what looks to be red liquid metal can extend if combat is required.

    Should sufficient external force strike the ashen grey skin, it will prove to crack and shatter like the porcelain it resembles rather than rip, tear, or compress like the skin it usually behaves as. Beneath the cracks one may glimpse dark red flesh matching the coat, even as scintillating flecks of purple gather around the crevasses, the eyes drawn to the small space to look out.​

    • Glow : A scintillating purple, as if electric, yet it seems to radiate darkness rather than illumination, casting in shadows all it touches save for the purple glow, seeming all the brighter for the contrast.

  • Form Unveiled : The night was cold on the streets this time of year, so I decided to grab an old sweater I'd salvaged before starting a starting a fire to huddle around. I came up short when my attempt to retrieve the garment found it occupied, a strange flower with purple petals hissing at me from the end of a sleeve, as red stamen waved like tongues. I backed away, startled, and the creature seemed to pursue. A serpentine body, longer than twice my height emerged from the sleeve, and I know not how it fit. Long wing-like limbs extended from it's body as it emerged, Less flying, and more scrabbling at nearby surfaces to pull itself forward, like how someone trying to swim without yet knowing how grasps blindly at the water. Yet nearby is perhaps the wrong term, as they managed to reach the full breadth of the alley, and with their number, the movement was swift rather than cumbersome. It was loose from the garment for but moments, before it reached an old shoebox long discarded and placed itself within, coiling so tight it fit, despite its prodigious length, and leaving only the foot so with the mouth extended above to hiss at me, a surprisingly melodic and reassuring noise, despite the clear upset for being disturbed. Though it was the impetuously regal glare at its surroundings that let me relax and go about putting on my shirt and lighting a flame the nearby trashcan, present for that purpose. Twas no hazardous beast, despite what strange appearance it might bear. It's behaviour marked it clearly as a cat. "Here kitty," I called once the fire had taken, "there's room enough round this fire for all seeking warmth on a cold night like this, even a strange cat like yourself." It seemed to understand me then, for its head jerked in what could only be a nod, before those long wings again reached out and dragged the box it had settled in closer to the fire.

    A serpentine shape nearly 5 metres long, and a little wider than an adult's arm, from which sprout numerous wings. They are not paired, but rather seem to spiral down its length, each consisting of long thin digits of indeterminate length, that seem longer or shorter as needed, yet always the same size. There is a membrane between the fingers of most of the wings, though it rarely reaches their full length, and despite its presence, they seem ill suited for flight, or perhaps the creature has just not yet learned to use them properly. As they sweep through the air, they prove capable of scooping up chunks of space, bringing areas outside the missing chunk closer together, and allowing the creature to drag it into smaller areas to better fit within them itself, though this effect will fade soon after its passage.

    Beyond the wings, the serpent has other limbs, tendrils that seem to sprout from its surface without seeming pattern. Yet to call them simple tendrils or limbs does not do them justice. They seem less a part of the creature, and more cracks in space rendered by the passage of its wings and spreading out as roots from the affront to reality that is their source. These wounds in reality bleed a red liquid like metal that clings to their edges, yet as they pass through obstruction, it does not give way like liquid should, but rather rends it like the harshest blade. Fortunately, the wake of distorted space left by the wings is fairly minor, and these cracks are rarely formed, and even then are thin, minor things that quickly heal.

    The dark red flesh of the serpent is broken up by plates of ashen grey bone and shifting patterns of scintillating purple eyes that seem to swim freely through the void in which sits the red of its flesh. Often as it twists and moves the bony plates will crack and break, often resulting in a congregation of eyes within the cracks, rendering them darker, yet more brilliant with their presence.

The Dracaenan Knight : Tree, Man, Organ
by Crab0Stab0 and here

View: http://imgur.com/a/OTBXYP2
Tree+organ+man or Organ+man+tree whichever is fine with me. Color wise I'm all good with what the picture has.

Human form -

View: http://imgur.com/a/DYW4DL7
He has rusty red hair, with bright green eyes

Flaws
Odd Distal Pigment- his hands and feet look like there staind in a dried blood color

Non-existent somatic processes

Dermal lines- The musels throughout his body look more like the twisting roots of a tree add with non-existent somatic processes he does a pretty good impression of a wooden man.
The Stained Band : Wyrm, Geode
by Lost Centurion and here
Form of Man:


His hair should be a bit more unkempt or curly. The tattoos will shift and form into beings from the unknown, languages unknown to even the gods, and scenes from history not told or yet to be told.

Luminal Archetype:

Main: Russian Violet
Trim: Ink Black or Royal Red
Weapon: Rusty Red
Glow: Magenta

Form: The Whyrm + Geode. I just want to see how that style works

Minor Flaws: Non-Existent Somatic Processes.

Eerie Glowing Eyes : Sclera of alien colour and a shine of the eye. At least the glow isn't noticeable during the day. Just make sure to wear good sunglasses.
Sclera is the normal white, yet the iris is a dark grey with flecks of purple. Despite looking normal in light, the flecks of purple seem to show clearly in any lighting, even darkness.

Major Flaw: Living Tattoos

It's also worth noting that there is a second thread over on Spacebattles. That thread has a poll as well, and the final poll results will be the two polls combine (though note that the author has requested people not vote in both threads). Anyway, as of present, the polls will close tomorrow, and the current combine results are:

So, for the readers who want a quick summary of the various vote options, I'm going to try doing some quick brusque cliff notes:

The Folded Prince
Unman, Polyp. Power is Endocorporeal Micro Pocket Dimension
  • True Form: Space wrinkle in green and violet with some bits of flesh tone. Shaped like a person, and acts like a 2D sprite in a 3D game where it's always seen from the same angle, no matter where you position yourself relative to it.
    Pretty humanish, but has distinct monstrous/eldritch leanings.​
  • Human Form: Looks like a normal guy with glowing folds in his skin, showing he could be unfolded. Unspecified mark on forehead, might be more folds.
    Could pass for human at a glance, even more so if folds are well hidden.​

The Ivory Haemotrope
Organ, Unman. Power is Greater Psionics
  • True Form: Rather unclear. References a horror manga and has two very different pictures. Presumably a mix of fleshy humanoid monster and partial ivory/ceramic statue of a person/people.
    Presumably pretty humanish, but probably in a monstrous way, like a statue broken open to expose living organs. (speculation)​
  • Human Form: Really tall, malnourished, distinctly disproportionate person. Appearance regularly shifts in small ways, but never enough to make them hard to recognize.
    Could potentially pass for a person, but obviously a bit freakish.​

The Amethyst Guivre
Salamander, Geode, Bird. Power is Eldritch Fire Breath
  • True Form: Big glowing crystal bird dragon. Breaths fire, does magic, skull like head.
    Mostly monstrous, debatably humanoid proportions for legs/torso.​
  • Human Form: Mostly tall fit guy with black hair. Snake eyes, monstrous mouth, and living tattoos.
    Human at a glance. Closer inspection of face likely to get pegged a metahuman (or magically altered person) without something to cover mouth/eyes.​

The Fractured Memory
Unman, Polyp, Salamander. Power is Endocorporeal Micro Pocket Dimension
  • True Form: Looks like Shin-Godzilla, and may shift toward other Godzillas, but in all events less than 6 feet tall.
    Mostly monstrous, it's one of the most eldritch Godzillas​
  • Human Form: Average look of all sapient beings within 2 miles, though limbs and hair seem to keep monster colouring (not stated, but presumably Godzilla colours). Also has living tattoos that just look nice unless you have some ability to see concepts of reality or are tied to them which case they overwrite your existence if you look at them.
    Could pass for a human (or whatever the main sapient population in range is) with a dye job/tattoos at a glance. Though specifics depend on the sapient in range.​

The Crimson Spiral
Wyrm, Polyp, Organ. Power is Giant Attack Tail Binkaku Kagune style
  • True Form: Large serpent/worm with long wings that spiral down its length. No head, just a seven petal flower-ish mouth at one end.
    Completely monstrous with no human elements.​
  • Human Form: Ceramic looking limbs and head that stick off of a torso that is just the worm form coiled up into a rough approximation of a torso's dimensions.
    Might pass for human at a distant glance. With a clear view, looks more like a living doll so long as torso is hidden. Might pass for metahuman or cursed person.​

The Dracaenan Knight
Tree, Man, Organ. Power is Distant Seeds
  • True Form: Skeleton knight with branches growing from shoulders/back, and non-specific giant pulsing organ in rib cage. Despite name, plant growing from it are clearly the wrong leaf shape to be Dracaena. Has a cape that might be growing from it. Limbs may be augmented by vines or other plant growth adding some bulk to the skeleton.
    Almost entirely (undead) human. Like the result of a necromancer and a druid collaborating to create a knight minion​
  • Human Form: Normal looking person with hands and feet that look like they're stained by blood, and lines along the body that look like twisting tree roots.
    Could pass for human at a glance, and possibly a person with good tattoos close up.​

The Stained Band
Wyrm, Geode. Power is Giant Attack Tail Binkaku Kagune style
  • True Form: Entirely undescribed, just noted to be a combination of wyrm and geode with specifics presumably left up to the author.
    Probably not humanoid at all. More likely a serpent/worm made of crystal.​
  • Human Form: Asian guy with long dark hair, and living tattoos. Eyes glow purple.
    Could pass for human with strange eyes and weird tattoos. Most likely would need to claim being metahuman or magic if closely observed and traits not concealed.​

And there it is, the various options given quick short summaries.

Then there are the changes i will do to make something fit with my story. Pretty heavy in some (Fragmented memories) , pretty minor in others (Dracaean Knight, btw, i picked the name of the plant for its other name, bleeding tree). Then there are the other powersets i will have to do to make the appearance and form mesh well with complimentary powers.

If you have no idea then dont jump onto the band wagon instead scroll up page back as its shorter or look in the apocrypha for the vote scroll down and read someone compiled all the vote options
Edit: did not see post above still its a bad habit to vote on something you dont know and just jumpimg on a bandwagon

This is what i managed to design for the Broken Memories, considering the hassel it was to marry Godzilla and memetoc horror together. Concept sketch that i made after i searched Monster Hunter Deviljho, FMA Envy, starfish, squids and the Dark Souls Gaping Dragon.

I know i'm late, but I had an idea I needed to get out:

The Space-Weaving Needle (Polyp+Geode+Insect) [Edited Nov 12]

(Flat disk is the top, needle is bottom)
Color: Main: Black/Dark Purple Crystal, Trim: Cold-Glass Sculpture, Weapon: Space-Time warping, Glow: Dark Red.
A 3-meter tall conical needle that appears to be made entirely of a smooth, faceted crystal carapace. Almost entirely Black/Purple, with radial portions of beautiful glittering multi-colored crystal. When casting, geometric red lines glow through the black crystal. Needle tip opens into a radial foot to stand on. At eight equidistant points on the underside of the Needles "disk", are concealed ports that open to release long (~10 meters), thin extendable tentacles that split into three at the tip for fine manipulation (think Blade Wolf's tail); they are each only slightly above peak human in strength, and are truly combat-capable only with magical enhancement; they are very swift and dexterous, however. Does not have eyes, or orifices of any sort, but seems to see and hear just fine.

(Local Non-Euclidean Region): Can freely alter strength (to a degree) and direction of gravity in local (~500 Meters) of Space-Time (allows gravity-based telekinesis), and some spacial warping, including attack and defense. Simple temporal effects such as localized time-dilation are also possible. More extreme manipulations require the use of magic. Moves by altering positional coordinates in space, effectively flying inertialessly; It is unsettling to witness in a way people cannot explain.
Basic attack [Bone Breaker]: Slightly warps space in a small, person sized area; flesh can usually handle such strain. Bone and other hard substances just break. Use on a normal human will instantly shatter every bone in their body.
Basic attack [Gravity Cannon]: Uses a very brief Alcubierre field to launch objects as though they had been fired from a railgun; few can survive a mach-3 dishwasher to the face.
Basic defense [Redirecting Klein Bottle]: Warps space to redirect attacks, usually in the direction they came. Can redirect melee and ranged attack, though melee redirections are considerably messier.
Basic utility [Time Dilation]: Slows or hastens time in an area relative to the outside world. Too many applications to list.

(Stronger Spells): Is a font of infinite magical power. Theoretically. Practically, it can only hold so much power at any one time, and the speed at which it generates magic is quite finite. For now.
Can learn any magic, but specializes in Space-Time and Alien Geometries. Can interact with environment and speak via simple, effortless magic.
Example unique spells:
Ergosphere: Creates an inexorable Spacial Whirlpool centered on the caster, forcing everything nearby to orbit the Needle.
Shatterbomb: Expands the space in an area drastically for a fraction of a second, increasing the distance between atoms enough to break all atomic bonds, reducing everything within to mono-atomic dust.
Imploder: As above, but in reverse, compressing space until Nuclear Fusion occurs.
Projected Singularity: Creates an artificial miniature blackhole, that can be moved anywhere within the range of spacial manipulation, to devastating effect.
Time Smear: Time-travels every piece of the victim forward in time by varying but short amounts, to gory effect.
Heat-Death-Ray: Fires a beam of dark red energy that ages what it passes through into less than dust.
Worm-Door: Links two points in space-time together as though they were next to each other, temporarily or permanently.
Spacial Sever: Adds space in a plane in between the targets atoms, effectively carving them to pieces.
Horizon Whips: Surrounds its tendrils in an event horizon, turning middling tentacles into deadly tools of evisceration.

(Extreme Strength): The Needle has no limbs useful to physically attack with normally, so their "extreme strength" manifests as extreme durability. The Needles crystalline carapace is incredibly dense, highly resistant to attack, both mundane and magical; but a nuke or supermans fists could still end you. You are not invulnerable. Yet.

Form of Man:
Living Tattoos: Red Geometric designs.
Eerie Glowing Eyes: Eyes look like Cold-Glass Sculptures
Non-Existent Somatic Processes: Unnaturally still.

Chapter 1 Part 7

    Part 7

    TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

    Bruce Wayne was tired. In truth, the times he was not tired were few and far in between. Such was the long list of work he had to run on a daily basis in-between juggling patrolling the ever crime ridden streets of Gotham and maintain a semblance of stability.

    Unfortunately, today was a special day. Or should he say night. And that meant that he felt even more tired than usual. And this time it was not merely on a physical level.

    His sidekick, his son, had hacked classified League computers, and then ran off with the other two young heroes and got themselves neck deep in trouble. If what he had pulled from the computers, or what remained of those that were not wiped clean or destroyed, was any indication, Robin, Aqualad and Kid Flash were closer to their deaths than ever before.

    And that is not counting the situation regarding the mutant clones of Superman –which were something he did not want to deal with now, his headache could only get so big before he gets an aneurysm-. A stunt like that would have deserved a severe punishment from himself to the sidekicks.

    But Bruce did not think it was needed. Not anymore.

    He looked to his right, seeing the tired and subdued look in Dick's eyes, even through the boy's mask.

    Several civilians injured, over a dozen of these genomorphs dead and more than triple that injured. Furthermore, Guardian had suffered a severe head trauma and was in the hospital in critical condition. Aqualad had taken a beating, but was otherwise mostly unharmed. However Kid Flash had a broken wrist. It was a disaster.

    This was the exact situation he wanted Dick to not find himself in. He knew that he had made a mistake and that it cost the lives of many and injured several more.

    Dick would still need to be reprimanded, but Bruce felt that its severity should be lowered. Not as a means of punishment, but one to help him cope.

    But that would be later. Right now Bruce needed to retrieve as much as he could from the still functioning computers and save as many storage drives from those damaged to try and get the fullest picture as possible.

    Likewise, he was in a bit of a hurry, as he needed to gather as much data as he could on the genomorph physiology as he could. There were many of the creatures severely injured and some were in critical condition. Including the one that Aqualad revealed to be named Dubbilex, which according to the teen's accounts, was fully sapient and could speak for the hive.

    He demanded priority care, and Bruce had not finished gathering everything he needed.

    However, all of those issues he recounted were nothing in comparison to what else the scientists at Cadmus had done.

    This time Bruce turned to look away, where a young teen in a white suit, about the apparent age of Dick, was seating on a bench at the corner of the room. The stable clone of Superman was gently stroking one of those G-Gnome creatures on his lap. An indecipherable look in the boy's eyes as he stared at a pool of blood nearby.

    Bruce knew that look, and he really disliked seeing it in a child's eyes, but that was not the thing that would leave him worried at night. It was the boy's biology. Kryptonian and human genes do not mix. Kryptonians have entirely different biochemical processes which should not be capable of being integrated with human physiology and vice versa. So it should be impossible to mix the two into a living, breathing subject.

    And yet they had done it. Multiple times in fact. Several mistakes and abominations, but none had died from their own paradoxical biology. And that was thanks to the Astral Cells. Or at the very least an artificial version that was less dangerous, according to what Green Lantern had said before he stormed into the depths of Cadmus to find any traces of actual Astral Tissue.

    Cadmus was no longer an active issue. But that begged the question… how many more astral samples were there that the League did not know about. And how did they get on earth in the first place. Bruce had some ideas, theories to explain the phenomena. And he liked none of them.

    But that would need time and resources to investigate, so it was another thing tossed to the 'do later' list. But there was something he could do with the stable clone.

    Bruce turned to Robin, he was helping Bruce with his task, mirroring his actions. But Batman thought that he could help in something just as important. "Robin."

    His sidekick stopped typing and turned to the Caped Crusader. "Yes Batman?"

    "Take Superboy and the others to the Hall of Justice. Try and keep him secret from any onlookers, at least for now." Bruce instructed, and Robin nodded.

    "Yes Batman." With that he went off and directed the young Kryptonian clone to follow him, which he did without speaking a word.

    Moments later of data mining, Green Lantern emerged from a broken down passage and out towards Bruce. His body language suggested he was not pleased, but not as much as he was previously.

    "Anything to report?" Asked the bat, to whom the Lantern nodded.

    "Whoever these guys were, they were thorough." He said, then willed his ring to project an image of what at some point was known as Passage 205, which the green tinged hologram demonstrated it was completely destroyed. "Almost all astral cell research was limited to this place, and no samples were permitted to be removed from there." He said. "And the kids' escape triggered the alarms and the autonomous security systems had activated to eliminate the samples. Nothing of them remains."

    Those were indeed good news, even if Batman did not outwardly show it. It did give him some relief knowing that there won't be a possible outbreak here. They are hoping to keep things secret for the time being. However… "But that doesn't remove the problem. Not fully." They did not know how or where these Astral Samples got here, and for how long they have. And if there were samples here, then it is very much likely that there were others in secret facilities across the world. If they came from the Atlantic Astral that fell months ago, there could easily be many more around the globe. And possibly even in places that the League has no jurisdiction.

    This issue is going to be a problem until that Astral Cleanser Vessel arrives. And there is still an entire year before that happens.

    "Yeah. I can get in contact with the Guardians again and let them know the situation." He frowned, then vanished the hologram, crossing his arms. "You know how much deep shit earth is at the moment. The Green Lantern Book of Law dictates that experimenting with Astral Flesh on a planet is considered a crime punishable by death."

    Batman narrowed his eyes at that. "Do the Lanterns disregard local laws so easily?"

    "No. But anything regarding Astral Flesh is a special case. One mistake and the planet could be considered effectively lost and a new Astral God active usually means that there will be a few habitable planets lost as well. And that is not counting the sheer level of resources needed to put it down once it's active…. Or the lives that will inevitably be lost in the battle."

    Batman did not comment on that. He remembered the conference the Lanterns gave on the Astrals. Everything about them were bad news on a near galactic level.

    He decided to change the topic to something he could invest himself in. "What of the Superman clones?"

    Jordan looked at the man and then gestured to his Ring. "The power Ring informed me of their state. Brown Cells, the name given to flawed, false Astral Cells, are not like their progenitors. Superboy and the other clones seem to have only the most basic form of Brown Cells. Nothing to worry about. A lot of older galactic civilizations make use of these Brown Cells, though they take different names to them."

    Well, that was an issue already cleared. But that left another that Bruce wanted to investigate. "You had made a thorough analysis of the half Kryptonian."

    "Yes. He has eighty seven percent of Superman's gene sequence. Seven hundred and ninety four sequences of Martian origin, nine thousand and four hundred and one human DNA genes and nearly three hundred of an unknown sequence, probably belonging to a modified version of those genomorphs, as it shares plenty of similar base pairs."

    "And the Brown Cells?"

    Hal shook his head. "They don't constitute to any genetic sequencing. They act as a patchwork over everything, but act almost independent of the system."

    "Send the files over to my computer, I want to examine them further considering the boy's nonstandard biology and possible medical issues he may have." And that Bruce had a very good idea whom said human genes belonged to. He had not reviewed much of the files, but he knew that Cadmus was owned by Lex Corporation and the Caped Crusader knew of the man's obsession with the Kryptonian.

    "The Brown Cells would kind of make that a non-issue, but sure."

    "Good." He said. "You certain that nothing survived?" He felt that he needed to ask again. Just to be certain.

    A nod from the Green Lantern. "Very sure. If anything had survived, then we would be fighting a mass of omnicidal flesh by now."

    TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

    I am a worm

    Of spiracle form,

    Digging a hole

    Like a spinning mole,

    Something, something, something.

    And I lost my rhythmical roll.

    TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

    End



    AN: I may chance the story to 'The Grey Maybe' as apparently there is another story with 'Teratoma' as the title. And I only picked this because of the SI's future alias. Anyway, I did this short part rather quickly so there may be some spelling errors here and there.

    Hope you like anyways.

    • The twist, I thought for a second you were going to have the MC speak like Ultron. But nope, a flaw human appears
    Is the other story with "Teratoma" recently updated, because if not, you can keep the title.

    Its much more fun being normal human. At least for a time. One day his voice and mannerisms will become that of a God.

    That other Teratoma has not been updated for a while, but i still wish to change it because i believe that it will have more to do with the story in the end.

    Some theme is particular that you are looking?
    Like Terotoma being a Tumor thing

    Here is the theme:

    "There are no gods born before man. The Myth we gave birth to explain the stars we did not see had grown dim by the age of enlightenment.

    {PRECEDENCE}

    Our Wheel of Creation thus labored to weave the myth to Truth. We made the Gods. But is a maker of Gods not one themself?

    {REALIZATION}

    Therefore Man is God.

    {ABSOLUTION}    "


    And yes, Teratoma, as in Terror Growth. The magnificent Tumor of terror.
     
    Something to think about is the variety of senses that someone who can modify their biology can make, such as a wider spectrum of hearing and seeing to more wild senses like electricity sensing and magnetic field sensing. I also think some birds can sense the nutrients in something.
     
    What about Leukopoiesis? I think something cell biology related would make a good title. The Grey Maybe is ultimately vague and nondescriptive and I don't like it. Star Cyst might be an alternative.

    I found the title.

    Mitocitoma

    Mito is the latin word for myth.
    Cit is for cell
    And oma is for growth.

    So it is a growth of mythic cells. I believi that tittle its beffiting.

    Or alternatively, Astrocitoma
