Biography
DR. BASIL C. LUNDGREN
resident "feral scientist"
ABOUT
"Positively chuffed to meet ya! I'm Dr. Basil Coriander Lundgren: botanist, biologist, and part-time mycologist; at your service."
Initially sent on a vital investigation by ARIES (the Anomaly Research, Investigation, and Exploration Syndicate, an organization originating from the Shifting Expanse at the edge of Carrion Canyon) to retrieve a plant specimen radiating an unusually strong magical signature in the Everbloom Gardens, Basil has since intentionally cut himself off from his research team. Of course, this isn't without good reasoning: said specimen was drawn to his Nature magic and adhered itself to his very being, now unclear exactly what percentage is plant or dragon. Knowing how ARIES treats its "anomalies," Basil didn't want any of that, and with his new form he ran deep into the Gladeveins to make a den of his own, never to be seen or heard by his now-former colleagues again. He's likely been presumed dead by them at this point. Probably.
During his years alone, well...he certainly didn't remain mentally stable, to say the least. Becoming consumed by his hunger for answers on his new form, he started performing experiments, and rather unethical ones, at that - injecting his own blood into plants and fungi and allowing them to parasitize their hosts of local fauna until they, too, became their own flesh-and-chlorophyll abominations to Gladekeeper. He became all too invested in his research, writing down every little observation he could make on their biology and behaviors and talking to them as though they displayed an identical level of sapience to himself.
PERSONALITY
Basil is...rather erratic in both mind and movement, somehow distinctively so from other spirals. Some describe him as being more "feral" than most. Nevertheless, he possesses outstanding intellect when it comes to natural sciences, particularly botany. He's a bit stubborn in his ways and questionable when it comes to ethics but isn't difficult to befriend and can become a valuable ally.
ABILITIES
Vine Growth: Basil can sprout thorny vines from his back that are able to reach up to 15 feet. They are prehensile and are often treated as extra arms when needed.
Corrosive Spit: He produces a pale orange saliva that is slightly thick in consistency and melts through pretty much anything. Having fused with plant biology, he no longer has a need for a gastrointestinal system and almost immediately digests things in this way instead.
Bioluminescent Eyes: His eyes are now made up of a highly specialized fungus that glows in the dark, making for a convenient built-in light source for those late nights in the laboratory.
Mutation: When particularly upset or starving, usually in the winter months when food supply is low, Basil transforms into a creature with its sights on nothing more than seeking sustenance. Pray to your deity you do not encounter him in this state.
