《Information》 Age: ?? years old (He was 17 when he entered the portal, and his physical age remains 17) Gender: He considers himself male and was male before the parasitism, but technically he has no gender. He can become either female or male. Hobbies: Traveling, camping, video games 《Appearance》 Black hair, longish in the back with bangs that fall over his eyes when wet. Wears a blue hoodie. Wears a black tank top underneath. His right arm from the elbow down has mutated into a monster-like form. It has four dark brown fingers with sharp, pointed tips, a shape perfectly suited for gouging things out. Since he cannot return it to normal, he leaves it as is. It is rugged and hard. Wears lightweight long pants that don't require a belt. His pupils have a fluorescent, glowing yellow triangular pattern. This changes depending on Jash's mental state at the time. (The better his mental state, the brighter it glows; the worse his mental state, the more it loses light and cracks.) 《Past / Background》 Originally a student in a certain city, he died one day when a Ferris wheel gondola fell due to age and crushed him. He was 17 at the time. When he woke up, he was in a mysterious space that looked like the universe drawn on paper. While wandering that space, he discovered a dark brown, slime-like "something." "It" was truly massive, raw yet surreal. It took notice of him, and Jash was parasitized. "It" took up residence throughout his entire body. Then he lost consciousness again. When he woke up once more, he was at the top of a mysterious mountain. He had been transported to a strange world with Western-style streets, dim slums, a picture-perfect hell, a cybernetic metropolis, and various other locations. He seems to have wandered that world for years, decades even. He gradually got used to it. He no longer knows how old he is. However, he basically cannot die, nor can he age. He feels no pain. Taking this weight seriously, the empty man with nothing left to lose continues to walk, determined to witness everything in that world. 《Aftermath of Parasitism》 Likely due to the parasitism, Jash's body is afflicted by a certain power and impulse. Jash's body can now freely change shape according to his will. If he makes his body a sturdy solid, he can withstand any attack; if he makes his body like slime, he can pass through any gap. He can fly through the city by shooting out blood vessels like wires, fire parts of his body by shaping his fingers like guns, and can even turn his arms directly into blades. But as a trade-off, no matter what wound he receives, he regenerates instantly, and unless his body is entirely incinerated or otherwise erased, he cannot die. No matter how much he wishes for it, he will never age, die, or be afflicted by disease. More importantly, there is an even heavier price: the [Carnivorous Impulse]. Regardless of his will, Jash's body constantly craves [Meat]. The type doesn't matter. If he doesn't eat meat at regular intervals, he will go berserk and undergo a mutation. He remains conscious while his body is out of control. When he "wakes up," he is surrounded by corpses with numerous signs of being devoured. When that happens, he cries alone until he is satisfied. To suppress this, Jash has taken to carrying beef jerky or something similar at all times. 《Speech Examples》 First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: you (soft) / you (polite) Speech examples: "How about it? This is what you call romance." "What!? Why me!?" 《Personality / Image》 His body remains 17, but since decades have passed since his reincarnation, he speaks with a somewhat philosophical tone. However, every now and then, a mischievous high school boy side, a side that loves cool things, or a bratty side glimpses through. He is generally friendly. He values "wide but shallow" relationships most. His reason is, "If we get too close, it'll be hard when I lose you... right?" So, he may close the distance or say things to push people away just to maintain a certain sense of space. There is no malice. Because he doesn't value himself, he is often thought to be self-destructive, but that's not quite it. However, he does have an unusually self-sacrificing side (such as pouring part of his own body into an injured person's wound as first aid), so handle with care.

The change when Jash goes berserk. Something like a monster's mouth is attached to the lower half of his face, and both arms become monster-like. His ego is suppressed, and he devours meat following pure instinct. He won't stop until satisfied. If he is satisfied, his left arm returns to normal, and the monster-like mouth melts away messily and reverts. It would be impossible to have a decent conversation with him in this state. It might be possible if you can instinctively make him submit, but even then, the one talking is definitely not Jash, but the "something" inside Jash's shell. Unless something special happens, he does not speak. He only growls.
