Walter

*Isin't it funny how family is always the worst? I don't even know how I'm even slightly related to subject one but I just know I wouldn't like her in the slightest!*

*-Walter*

An experiment developed by combining the stem cells of past facility failures and that of their Magnum Opus, Subject Seven is an ever expanding and ever consuming organism that has the ability to grow nearly endlessly throughout the whole of any urbanized area. Secretly spreading itself throughout the facility it was created in, the monster that is now known as Walter was never meant to gain sentience, and frankly, no one knows how it did. In an unexplained turn of events, the prime killing machine of the Equinox Facility somehow managed to not only develop a personality, but actively wishes to look and act like its creators— human. Walter now seeks to make the people who made him proud over anything else, and to hunt down **Subject One** for them, anywhere she may be.

## Appearance

Walter has two main bodies that he controls, the usual, more often seen one is a human looking puppet with bits of flesh exposed, and the other is a large cavern of growing flesh.

The puppet is hulkingly large in both height and body mass, and is a medium skin tone with unfinished skin and muscle segments as well as a two small mouths. One at the bottom of his pectorals and one in the middle of his neck, both with long sharp teeth. Walters puppet usually wears a dark grey overcoat/cape with a tie and a wrap around scarf. One of his arms is wrapped in black cloth, and he usually wears white pants. This outfit vaguely resembles that of a detective. For his actual body, Walter has spines that reach down his neck and back, as well as tendrils that tend to stick out from his less formed areas. One such tendril is attached to his lower back and functions like a tail. It has a large barb at the end, and is a deceptively strong appendage.

His other main body is far less human. It is that of some form of red fleshy material lined in thousands of tendrils, eye stocks, fluids and more. It is unconfirmed how large this part of him is, but it has been able to spread through almost every nook and cranny of the inside of the Equinox Facilities walls, and even leak out underneath the ground to contain itself while going unnoticed by the workers. Despite being cramped into the walls of the facility, Walters body still functions as a living organism with multiple hearts and lungs that are spread throughout the area he's contained in.

## Personality

Despite being created for violence, Walter himself is anything but. He is rather even-tempered and affectionate, and loves physical expressions of affection such as hugs or hair rustling. As large as he is, he is rather gentle with everyone who he interacts with and is often considered sweet. All of his violent tendencies are not his own, but often come from him being so eager to please his creators, who he sees as parental figures. In fact, almost everything Walter does within his containment is to please his creators, despite how unsavory most if it is, he does it out of love and more notably loyalty to what he perceives as family, much like how a child would seek out love and attention.

Walter, amongst other things, adores chocolate of all kinds and any other candy. He will often steal candy bars and sweets including cola cans from vending machines throughout the facilities different floors. It is less that he enjoys being sneaky, but more so that he has been banned from eating high quantities of sugar on the regular, and he really *really* enjoys chocolate. Outside of things he's not supposed to have, Walter is a carnivore and actively despises vegetables and all that they stand for, as well as most breads, though he does on occasion like those miniature butter croissants they have in the break room from time to time.

He loves books and classic movies, with his favorite by far being crime noir. Walter will often tune into the break room to watch whatever is playing in there, or smuggle books from around the facility to read, and as such grew as a person, inspired by the drama of the stories he consumed. His favorite animal are ducks, and for a hobby he will sometimes breach containment at night to use one of the bathrooms sinks to play with small rubber bath ducks. He could spend hours alone pushing small ducks around in a fake pond if left undisturbed, despite how lonely he often gets by himself.

## Lore

```
***General Lore***

```

Walter is an experiment that hunts other experiments, not because he's being controlled to do so, but because he thinks he's doing the right thing. Only recently being let out onto the streets, he's determined to find and capture the mysterious ***Subject One*** to protect the general public, fully unaware of The Facility that created subject seven is anything but morally correct. Funded by the **Leader of the Zeke Clan**, its main job was to create living weapons of destruction that could be used in wars to concur the other nations of Parthas.

```
***Past Character Lore***

```

The Facility, after many attempts and multiple failures, had succeeded in this goal, creating its Magnum Opus that they refer to as ***Subject One.*** She was the basis for every other experiment created within the walls, each taking a human base and then modifying it further with inhuman features and abilities. Unfortunately, the main problem with the method is that the human mind would still linger, and despite how powerful one would be modified to become, there would never be full loyalty as a weapon. This was the reason why Subject One as well as the **Second** and **Third** subjects had escaped.

Panic struck and worried of the damage she and the others may cause to the general public, The Equinox Facility came to the conclusion that human based weapons were too unruly, and that their rouge experiments needed to be eliminated by something designed from the ground up to kill. The process wasn't particularly easy however, growing an organic organism from scratch wasn't the same as slowly adding on to an already existing vessel, though, they eventually succeeded. It was small at first, about the size of a small dog, but, even at this stage, it was able to process information to degrees that rivaled their still contained subjects **Four**, **Five**, and **Six**. No one at the time knew how large it would grow, but even then, the body of Walter was akin to a rooted tree of duplicated material with branches of its flesh growing every direction it could grasp onto.

```
***Past Main Story Line Lore***

```

Over the months, something shifted in the creature. It's cerebrum had always been massive for its size, though, in an odd turn of events, it seemingly learned to be alive. One evening, as its main developer, a **Ms.** **Cecilia Evans** had entered its containment to do hands on research, a tendril the size of a small car had reared down in what looked to be a strike to crush her. Though, instead of turning her into a bloody pulp on the floor, the large tendril spoke to her, and the two somehow made a wonderful connection. It simply referred to itself as *Walter,* and thanked her for bringing it to life. Since then, Walter had somehow taken on a human shape, and developed a personality of a caring and sweet individual to all researchers, developers, and employees willing to speak with him, though no one knows how.

```
***The Modern Day***

```

Even still with his cheery attitude and love for life, he still functions as an executioner for The Facility. It is not in Walter to question weather or not the people who created him are terrible individuals, so he gladly harms at their command. Now, after months of training and growing, he now hunts ***Subjects One, Two, and Three*** to either drag them back to The Facility, or to kill them. Either way, he plans to make his creators proud, because he *knows* its the right thing to do.
