So you've heard of the simp, and if you havent here he is:

Well he's the protagonist and anti-hero / villian at the start of the story, believe it or not. Despite his looks, he's also not human. He's actually this thing!

Yup, thats him.

he's a funky lil guy who hijacked a corpse! The creature's species name is a 'Daemon'! They don't usually hijack dead bodies when absorbing their food, so this one got confused. Daemons are creatures from another realm, a far more dangerous and unforgiving terrain. They evloved to kill first ask questions never. If you hessitate, you're dead. They kill and eat, but they also have the ability to 'intergrate' with other beings. Essentially, crawl inside and fuse with another living body. They do this to either: drain its life force and consume whatever they need until the person dies, or full intergration where the two become one and live on as a stronger being. This creature crossed over to the overworld during a botched experiment by a madman, killing his son in the process.

It would never survive in this new world by itself, it new that much, so it attempted to eat and hijack the body of the madman's son.

While consuming that human corpse, he also ate the brain, abosbing all the memories and personality of that person. It took over so perfectly that it's now convinced itself it actually is that person brought back to life by the power of this creature. and now Lucas lives out his life trying to make up for what he is, and attempts to contain the more unnatural parts to his existence. But he constantly questions what he is. He doesn't know where he ends and the 'beast' begins. The lines are blurred and it keeps him up at night.

Or maybe, just maybe, he really is himself, and the creature did brinng him back and intergrated itself into his mind.
