Zion Decius

Zion Decius is a Redivivus-infected human.

Appearance
His eyes are that of a cuttlefish - a slightly w-ish shape that allows him to perceive the polarization of light. He has skin like cuttlefish and octopuses, being able to change color and texture within seconds. Changing hair color and eye color takes longer. His “default” colors are a grayish color with white accents and hair.

Personality
Fabulous. A good friend, but would totally eat a non-infected one at the drop of a hat.

Capabilities
He has octopus tentacles because the parasite thought they'd be useful for capturing prey - there are regions laced with venomous barbs (like jellyfish, they don't pop out for self and other parasites and if Zion doesn't want them to).

He also has the eyes of cuttlefish that see polarized light - while they are apparently colorblind, they are also able to detect colors perfectly. So I assume there's something going on and Zion is Very Good at seeing.

He also has the camouflage capabilities of cuttlefish and octopuses, as well as some electrosensory abilities of eels.

History
Zion was dissatisfied with his life as a human. He became one of the earliest humans infected when he was 14, by a chance encounter with the whale host he knows as Mother. For years, he spent most of his time with them in the sea, before returning to the land to explore the goings-on. He then met Q, Sammy, and Emmers.

Trivia

 * He speaks with an audible sparkle.
