[FOCI]
Numenera Character Options 2
Crail, but you're a monster. You're big, ugly, and hideous, and children and grown adults alike instinctively know your secret heart— you'd like to eat them. But you try not to. It's your constant struggle to retain control of your monstrous instincts that urge you to rend and eat anyone who gets too close. Whether because you were found and raised by good people, you were once a human that was terribly changed, or you decided that giving in to red lust always and forever wasn't what you wanted, each day you gaze into the abyss that is your own savage soul, then try to look away.
A monstrous beast could be large and hairy, with lots of teeth; squamous, slimy, and many tentacled; filmy, soft, and obscenely similar to animate internal organs; or something else. You either wear clothing that tries to hide your true nature while you're in public, or not much clothing at all, depending on how close to a village or city you are, or how much equanimity your companions have regarding your hideous appearance.
