OJ - Chiran Ref (update)

Description

Decided to update this ref, since I ended up not liking the golden skin. So instead I changed it so he's more of an iridescent black/dark blue! And tweaked a few other minor details.

This is Chiran. He's a virus, sort of. More like a disease, really. He's relatively undiscovered as of yet, since he has spent most of his life staying in the background, keeping his symptoms very low, making the body his home and thriving there instead of trying to take it down and destroy it... so far. So, basically, he's a new species, not a virus/disease/sickness that we know.

Within the body, he's basically a Mafia boss. He treats the members of his mafia--or, as he calls them, his family--very well and surprisingly respectfully. He takes care of his own. He's also got his own very strict moral code which is rather unique. Mostly, he sees disrespect and drug use as being worse than murder; he has no problems with violence or with killing people if he has to, but he absolutely will not approve of any sort of disrespect or with any of his Mafia using drugs. He likes his family to be as healthy and well-functioning as possible. Of course, this means he really doesn't approve of drug dealers, and if any drug dealers attempt to encroach on his territory, they will likely end up very dead very quickly.

He holds a lot of resentment towards cells, because he's a genetic disease--which means that he's essentially been a part of the body basically since the beginning, but a lot of cells immediately see him as trying to steal "their body"--when, the way he sees it, the body's more his than anyone else's, because of how long he's been around.

Chiran naturally produces serotonin, which he can inject into cells/the body in general through his fangs and through the numerous tentacles on his body--those on his head (his "hair") and at his hips (he's got a set of six tentacles, three on each hip, which are the same size as the ones on his head. He usually keeps these ones hidden because they're especially sensitive). This gives a euphoric effect to the affected cell. Currently, he can't produce enough serotonin toxin to actually affect the body, but he is continuously growing so eventually he will be large enough to make his way up to the brain, latch onto it, and flood it with serotonin. Eventually.

But, as I mentioned earlier, he isn't particularly concerned with doing that at the moment, because the body is his home and he isn't particularly inclined to destroy his home.

and some of you may recognize him as being based on a certain other character of mine whoops
