Symbiote attached to Suri: New Life Crab
Bio:
Suri came from a quite upstanding family in Lemuria, her mother was a Gene Biomancer and her father was a Serpent Hunter, she was to follow her mother into being a Biomancer as she was considered a progeny in the arts. But that all changed when on the way to Tritonia to see the doctor there, the transport was attacked and through the confusion she found herself on an island with other children. There she witnessed and was victim to horrors no child should have to face and even an eventual death only to be bought back as what can be described by most who witnessed a monster. Now she is an Albino Lemurian with a parasite on her, but that didn’t stop her from still wanting to survive and live despite after getting out of the island with the other children she found herself shunned by her parents and society as a whole, but Gobi helped her by convincing his father to take both Suri and her brother Michael into their household. In those 4 years before the occurrences leading to the Tritonia accident.
Suri spent most of her time cooped up only really going out when forced and feeding the Symbiote which after a few months a Biomancer was nice enough to look at for her and turns out there was nothing that they could do to remove it or she died which was a shock to her. Gobi was very nice to try and make Michael’s and her own time staying there good. After the year mark when Gobi and Michael had to travel to go and see Dr Shore, Suri went along with them and talked to the good doctor. In exchange for agreeing to be inspected by him Suri was introduced to a couple of Lemurian Scientists Yesmina and Abtin, after they had ran a few tests so to speak Suri became fascinated with learning more about the Symbiote inside her stomach and became the lab assistant of Yesmina. One of the first tests they conducted was to see to exactly which extent the Symbiote had over her so to speak had over Suri after starving the Symbiote for a while until it took control of her body to try and find food. That was by far the worst of all the tests the rest were just working out exactly what it did to her. The time went by quickly generally ignoring other people to concentrate on any experiments. She continued to stay with Gobi and his parents which she was grateful for their hospitality regardless of how much his mother tried to teach her sewing, housekeeping and cooking the last she paid attention to.
After these events she took to her studies and experiments to try to return herself back to normal but unfortunately that is to no avail no matter what she tries. She mainly kept to herself never really going out or even travelling much just keeping to Yesmina’s Laboratory until she was able to secure her own which took quite a lot of convincing. She still tries to keep in contact with the “friends” she made both on the island and through Tritonia and her brother but due to the fact that she is more introverted there can be months that she is not heard from.
