A deplorable fluffy-arachnid creature rumoured to contain traits of the ancient black claw empire themselves, Yamog has many degenerate features such as dark blue skin, four arms, and a large singular red eye in the middle of their face.

Human features still show through, though, seeing as they still have the dumpy pear-shaped humanoid form of a particularly short and unathletic Nepleslian woman. Their hair is like a giant cloud of steel wool, matching the size and mass of their torso, apparently untamble by science.

Four long angular ears sprout from their head, prehensile and emotive. They also have large fangs and vestigial mandibles. The hands are dainty but bear bright red nails that seem to stay indefinitely sharp. More concerningly, their rear has a bulbous spidery abdomen with working spinnerets. Adding to the unnatural flavour, several places on their body have crude arcane markings of an unknown language.

They tend to dress and smell like trash because they are trash.

The lumpen arcane spider is rather mercurial, darting between periods of extreme self confidence and massive self loathing. They sometimes believe in the magical, pre-ordained course of the universe when things are going right, but lose confidence quickly if somebody simply insults them.

• Likes: Praise, video games, technology, loud techno music, dark places.
• Dislikes: Bright lights, authority figures, not feeling in control.
• Goals: Start a cult that they have complete undisputed control over.

Mother: Gloster (living)

Father: Avance (living)

Younger Sister: Peulmellow (Living)

Yamog's comic sans genetics have led to two big hurdles in life- They are far too mutated and suspicious for any upstanding organisation to believe they are actually human- And there are a several cults which consider their rare kin either sin incarnate, or the heralds of some new world order. Nobody actually knows for certain were their genetics come from, but rumours and superstition in the underworld of Funky City and Malaise are a powerful thing.

With their parents being part time labourers at best or dangerous drug addicts at the worst of times, Yamog attempted to play the cult angle for profit in their teens- Only to find out that the web produced by their butt was a valuable black magic commodity and there were plenty of lowlives out there who might kidnap them to farm it.

Playing cults against each other was a dangerous game that nearly got them killed several times, resulting in them moving planets and changing their roots several times.

Certainly knowledgeable about weapons and subterfuge if not exactly a trained mecha pilot, they took up Shasta's offer for recruits just as another method of sidestepping their life's problems.

More like a saboteur or old school phone phreaker than a hacker, Yamog took their traditional mutant underground upbringing of stealing from the system, and became adept at many analogue technological skills such as repairing vehicles, constructing firearms from several parts, mechanically breaking down locks, blowing fuses, e.t.c. They are good at jury rigging and can figure out how many weapons work without too much effort.

Though they aren't officially trained by any organisation, Yamog has learned to defended themselves, and has a couple of unique quirks due to their odd genetics. They are obviously very good at multi-tasking, which lends itself well to things like piloting mecha. Their butt yarn isn't' especially strong or easy to aim, but it can support their body's weight, and be used to seal doors or air leaks in a pinch.

Their education sucks. But they can at least use a computer.

Some of their arcane lore occasionally comes in handy when recognising the machinations of alien races. Negotiating cults and demagogues can also be handy when dealing with tense underworld situations- There are as many cults out there that want to kill all the Nekovalkyrja as deify them as gods, for instance.

About the only 'real' job Yamog ever had was driving underground tube trains for a short time. Rarely qualified or the owner of the vehicle, they have none the less used a wide variety of surface crawlers for a variety of reasons, both mundane and dangerous.

Yamog is assigned to pilot a specific Pitohui Class Support Mech called the “Terrible Secret Of Space”, which is crudely painted black and then covered in yellow warning chevrons. This type of mecha is known for being difficult to maintain at the best of times, but is not helped by the rather aloof and vindictive Fairy AI 'Deimos'. Many of the Pitohui's secondary systems are extremely defective, a nest of viruses and digital parasites so extreme that it is rumoured to be cursed. Attendants refuse to do anything past mere basic corrective maintenance duties on it, giving it a rusted, juddering appearance.

Deimos rarely manifests physically, taking on the silhouette of a fairy but filled with static noise. It seems to have a certain maniacal contempt for organics, though if this is humour or malice is unknown.

Yamog has the following items:

• Trashy ripped up clothing, such as sweaters and ripped jeans. It seems to get destroyed very easily, and then kept far longer than necessary.
  • An obscure Tamorga 1112 handgun, very similar to the HHG.
  • A jailbroken datajockey that has all sorts of illicit programs and malware on it.
  • A wooden altar with bones.
  • Candles, scented. The scent is PAIN.
  • A locking rubberized collar with the words “giga slut” imprinted.
  • Fancy sneakers that always seem to be somehow the cleanest part of their grungy outfit.
  • Eyedrops.
  • Flashlight.
  • Sleeping bag.
