Humanoid
Splicer
The Splicer is a disturbing blend of human intellect and monstrous adaptation, resulting from genetic splicing taken too far. Their bodies constantly shift and reform, developing additional limbs, serrated talons, or predatory eyes to adapt to any threat.
Splicers, whether rogue bioengineers, audacious self-experimenters, or ruthless enforcers of genetic supremacy, inhabit a realm where the lines of humanity blur. They embrace their grotesque, altered forms not as a tragic downfall but as a bold testament to the next chapter of evolution.
In their eyes, each mutation is a step towards an extraordinary future, a celebration of the possibilities that lie beyond biology's conventional boundaries.
