Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

• Prototype Transhuman + Class III SURGE: Subject X-417 was created as part of a Proteus AG experiment to better understand how metagenes are triggered so that the effects could be reverse engineered to create superior aquatic operatives and biomods. Having large parts of his genetic template already modified by Proteus, X-417 was exposed to deep sea mana spikes as a fetus to study the effects. Attempts to replicate the results have been inconsistent at best, but X-417 was born with a variety of atypical features.
• Electroception (Electrosense) + Functional Tail (Paddle) + Gills (Full) + Metegenic Improvement (Strength): Exposure to intense levels of mana during development lead to Subject X-417 developing a several shark-like features, including fully functional gills, electroreceptor organs, a finned tail, and increased strength. However, these mutantations were not without their downsides...

Negative

• Astral Hazing + Berserker + Bioluminescence + Critter Spook + Impaired Attribute (Logic): Side effects of Subject X-417's SURGE included a near-constant state of aggression, lessened cognitive abilities compared to other subjects, and a slight bluish glow. The aggression was so intense that it increased background counts around the subject, and animals used for facility security were instinctively disturbed by the subject. Keep Subject X-417 away from any sensitive Awakened materials, do not deploy it alongside any zoological security measures, and dose with dopadrine regularly.
• Allergy (Common, Mild) (All Fruit, Grains, and Vegetables): Despite utilizing H. sapiens robustus orcus stock in an effort to reduce feeding costs, Subject X-417 developed an intolerance to nearly all food sources except meat and fungi shortly after gestation. Please keep the subject on a carnivore diet while researches attempt to solve this quirk.
• Phobia (Uncommon, Moderate) (Medical Procedures): Following an incident where Subject X-417 awoke while being implanted with modifications to allow it to better serve as aquatic security for Site [REDACTED], the subject has shown an intense aversion to the medical staff. It is advised to dose the subject's meal with a powerful sedative before performing any examinations or procedures.
• Superhuman Psychosis: Subject X-417 has developed concerning behavioral patterns in addition to its recorded increased aggression. Despite attempts to ensure the subject is adequately socialized, the subject has shown a disturbing lack of empathy towards personnel and seems to see itself as a superior class of being. Furthermore, all personnel are instructed to avoid being alone with the subject. During the recent supply shortage in which rations were severely restricted for all personnel and subjects, Dr. [REDACTED] was attacked by Subject X-417 in an apparent attempt to consume part of his arm during a routine psychological evaluation.
• Wanted (Proteus AG): It is imperative that Subject X-417 is returned to Proteus AG as soon as possible. The subject is an incredibly valuable research project, with a genetic code full of proprietary data. Furthermore, the subject's intense aggression presents a public safety risk, which in turn is a PR risk to the company should the subject be tracked back to Proteus.

Some time later...

• Carrier (Strain II) + Carrier (Strain III): After escaping Proteus and finding himself in Seattle's Underground, Thresher found himself being attacked by a group of feral infected while trying to find a place to rest. Not one to let good meat go to waste, and ignorant of the risks at the time, Thresher consumed his attackers after defeating them. His immune system managed to fight off most of the effects of HMHVV, but the virus still lives within his body.
