#i.m.foreman

Here’s a little guide to identify who’s who. For the incarnations which weren’t fully described in the books, I claim artistic license, haha.

1-I.M.Foreman. The first incarnation. Wears a blindfold, a white shirt with puffed-out sleeves, brown-leather boots, and a waistcoat. Has long hair, tied into a ponytail. Bleeds way too much if wounded, as if he was bigger on the inside than on the outside.

2-Mohandas the Geek. Has a big head, with eyes a bit too far apart. Also, he’s huge. Eats all kinds of animals to store their dna into his own.

3-Melmoth the Map of Scars, “whose entire body was engraved with information that nobody outside the show had ever been able to read”.

4-Mr Zarathustra the Walking Brain, “whose cranium was so vast and bloated that he had to constantly sit with his head in his hands to make sure his neck didn’t snap.”

5-O’Salamander the Dragon King. Half-man, half-lizard. Apparently blows fire. “This is the point when the stored DNA starts to take over. Part man, part... something else. Whichever part’s supposed to be which.“

6-John Salt the Missing Link. Covered in dense albino fur and looks a bit like a monkey.

7-Mould the Worm Boy. Doesn’t have arms nor legs, and emits some kind of goo, apparently.

8-The Goofus, Living Armoury, “when I start absorbing machine parts into myself as well as DNA.”

9-Ezekiel the Master Aerialist, “the only version of myself who came fitted with wings. Not a very successful experiment, I’m afraid. No offence, Ezekiel.”

10-Queen Nitocris, mistress of serpents, “who’s frankly a lot more snakey than I think any of us intended.”

11-The If. Doesn’t look like anything, really. Has gills of some sort, through which it breathes fragments of memories (past or future). "The If sweats raw time. Isn’t that something?”

12-Aka. “It wasn’t a true shape changer, and it probably couldn’t even decide what form it wanted to take on next, but its body looked horribly unstable anyway. It was a great big blur of living matter, which couldn’t quite settle on one species.“
