Human info:
Name: Carth Dieter (DEE-ter)
Nicknames: Man-Bear-Pig, Mr. Pig, Pumba, Macho Man, Beautiful Hunk (Anne's nickname for him), Piggy, (give him whatever nickname you want. He's pretty good natured and enjoys unique nicknames)
Age: 22 23 24 _{(June 25; Cancer ♋)}
Gender: Male
Role: Infectling, Soldier, Specialist (lvl 2)
Eye anomaly: The whites of his eyes are a mint green, and his irises are a dark green with a lighter green hue around his black pupils.
Vein position: Back side of his right shoulder.

Personality: Carth is a caring individual, since as an orphan he grew up in a gang of other orphaned boys, who became his best friends and brothers. He loves to play floor hockey whenever he can with a few others, and occasionally he tries to tempt people into trying to parkour along with him so he has someone to run along with. He also is a bit of a cat person, and likes to try and befriend some of the strays around the slums. He has befriended a few strays, but the one that he likes the most is a fluffy cat he named Scruffy since its fur is always in knots whenever he meets it. He's trying to figure out whether or not he could bring it into the base, but he doubts it since Lavvy's parasite is a wolf (although he thinks the cat can actually handle her with the way it acts around the wild dogs). Other then cats, he loves to have fun and mostly be outside, even though he knows it's a bit dangerous for fear of being detected by the GG and Tamed (and stories of Harmony members being randomly and brutally targeted). He knows when to stay clear of something, and respects people's wishes to be left alone without really questioning it. When told to cover his ears, he covers them and just listens to Ebbe's rambling, and if told to leave the room, he'll leave quickly. He also respects the chain of command in the place, and for a while acted like a bit of a suck up once he finally got over being terrified of himself and the thing living inside him. He's pretty protective over other Harmony members, even if he doesn't like them or know who they are. He sees them as one big dysfunctional family that must be protected, no matter how messed up they are.

Backstory: Carth became an orphan when he was four years old. His mother was a cocaine addict and his father was someone who he doesn't remember all that much, except that he use to give him tootsie rolls whenever he visited. His mother, having no money or the means to take care of him, dropped him off near the orphanage one cold night and never came back. The earliest Carth can remember is standing on the orphanage doorsteps crying for his mom as she drove away with another man.

He was always an adventurous boy and liked to hang around some of the older orphans, and around the age of ten did he really become interested in parkouring. He never really got good at it until he started puberty at age thirteen when his muscles became stronger and his limbs longer to jump and grab ledges. Eventually he formed a close bond with five other boys, and they became their own little family from playing house when they were six to working laboring jobs when they were sixteen. They were all different ages, and once some were old enough to leave the orphanage, they still hung around to check up on the younger ones until they were all out and about. Carth was a hard working boy, and eventually he and his "brothers" saved up enough money to buy their first apartment in the poorer section of the city.

Carth and his brothers every Saturday would go out running, jumping, or play hockey in an abandoned parking lot on the far side of the slums. Occasionally they would run into another gang, but although they were strong boys, they preferred to run and just be a little outreach of their enemy to anger them or show off how easily they could climb up the side of a building or jump to another rooftop without breaking their strides. One Saturday, he and his brothers decided to go on an exploration trip, although two stayed behind because they had dates to meet up with. They went into the downtown slum area that had a few streets littered with empty city apartments. They easily scaled the fences blockading anyone from entering and started to salvage whatever they could find.

They decided to explore an old metal factory on the other side of the town they were in, but it was something Carth would soon come to regret. As they explored, they heard the old metal doors opening, and each took a hiding spot behind old crates or machinery when a group of men carrying boxes and painted jars ran in and chattered up a storm. They looked both excited and nervous, and as one started to shut the door behind them, something roared and smashed into it. The banging echoed throughout the vast warehouse section they were in, and it was soon followed by another bang which broke a few bricks in the wall. Men started to run down the center of the warehouse, but the brick wall closest to them exploded inward and an enormous monster plowed into the group. A few jars went flying and shattered across the floor, oozing a strange, foul smelling liquid with disgusting creatures wiggling around in them. Some started to crawl away, but the majority were trampled flat.

The chaos charged by the boxes Carth was hiding behind before gunfire opened up. Carth saw one of his brothers making a break for it, and as Carth jumped out from his boxes he was hit in the back of his right shoulder by a stray plasma ray and was knocked flat on his stomach. He tried to clutch at his back through the blinding pain, his painful screams mingling with the sounds of dying men further behind him. He tried to get up, but fell forward again as he slipped on something slithering across the floor. Panicking he tried to get up again, but the pain on his back suddenly exploded as something was shoved into his wound. Then everything went black.

When he woke up, he was naked in a dirt lot surrounded by a group of people who were all beaten up and bloody. He was spitting up blood and bruised all over with cuts here and there. One of the people was carefully approaching him and took off their jacket to throw over him, but they threw it a bit like they were throwing a blanket over a snake. Eventually Carth was helped up and given what was left of his tattered clothes, which looked as if it was ripped apart by a wild animal. He found out that during that fight at the warehouse, one of the creatures inside the broken jars crawled into his wound and transformed him, to which he went wild and tried to kill anyone who got in his way. A few of the other members who didn't attack the mercenaries chased him for hours before they finally got into a physical fight to wear him out enough to change back.

After people informed Carth of what he now was (and calming him down after he saw that his brown eyes were now green and he had a parasite living in his back) they took him to the Harmony base. He's only been a part of the Harmony for a few months, and has only recently been allowed to go back onto the surface after learning to control his parasite, which took a while because of how wild it was. He's still a bit clumsy in his Symbiote form, as he's still not use to his extraordinarily long arms and tends to misjudge distances between his long face and the door. He's made a few friends, and tries to welcome any newcomers who enter the base that look as terrified as he did when he found out what he was. He's pretty okay with hand-to-hand combat, but he usually stays defensive when training with Lavvy because of how brutal she is (he now hides like everyone else when training day comes around).

With his new freedom he went to visit his brothers, but discovered that they no longer live in the old apartment they first bought and can't find them anywhere. When on missions he's usually seen etching a small symbol into a wall with his claws or a rock, which is the same symbol he wears on his pants and the cloth he wears when in Symbiote form. It was designed by one of his brothers when they were still living in the orphanage at thirteen, and they've used it ever since as their gang logo. He hopes that leaving these markers behind will inform his brothers that he is still alive and will maybe someday meet up with them again.

Parasite info:
Parasite type: Entelodont (Daeodon shoshonensis) _{So I found out that the skeletons I was looking at was really the larger of the entelodont species, so Ebbe is actually supposed to be bigger than what is on the size sheet. However I don't feel like making him bigger (I was shocked to see his size making the sheet) so I'll just say he died at a young age.}

Parasite name: Ebbe (E-buh), which means "Wild Boar"
Origin: Ebbe was created from old fossilized remains of the entelodont , which was once a omnivorous pig that lived during the Eocene to early Miocene epochs.

The Infection: Ebbe was created in a GG lab like all the other parasites. However, his kind and a few others were fiddled with so that when they infect someone, they take on their original form and never change back. Sadly for them, they were only developed to the normal parasite stage and were still mentally wild and tried to jump at anyone who approached their containers. Ebbe was to be transported with others to an underground lab in the abandoned district in the slums, but the truck was attacked by a rogue mercenary group and the jars were taken. Tamed members were following the truck and gave chase into the warehouse. Ebbe's jar was smashed and was almost trampled by the group running by. Disoriented and confused by all the noise and bright light filtering down from the windows he tried to crawl towards a bunch of pallets when Carth was shot and fell directly in front of him. Quickly Ebbe jumped onto him and clung to his shirt, but the cooking flesh caught his attention and he hungrily crawled towards it before digging inside.

The feeling of being connected to a host overwhelmed him, and instantly Carth's body was transformed into his own, and the wild rage within him exploded outward. A Tamed member jumped on him, but he bucked them off and bit into their throat. When the other Tamed members turned their attention onto him, he tried to defend his kill he was trying to eat, but when he was shot by a hiding merc he went into a blinding rage and attack everyone around him before he eventually escaped through the hole in the wall. He ran for about an hour before a he ran into a group of Harmony scouts, and was caught in a fight between them and the Tamed as they both tried to catch him. He tried to gore a few members of both sides before he took off again, but this time with Harmony after him. He couldn't escape the area because of the metal fences surrounding the district and he started to tire after a few hours of doing nothing but run and try to fight them off. Eventually they backed him up against a brick building and beat him down, as he almost killed another individual by crunching down on their waist. Eventually he lost control and Carth took back over, and for months afterward succeeded in changing Carth against his will. He eventually connected with Carth's mind and formed a bit of an understanding about when to transform, but he knows Carth still secretly fears him. Afterall, he is a wild animal.

Personality: Wild and relies on nothing but his natural instinct. Slowly he's beginning to understand how to communicate with Carth and understand his point of the host's body, but he's still a bit rabid. His personality really shows through Carth when he is eating a favorite food and someone goes to sit next to him. Entelodonts were fierce scavengers and would fight viciously over a meal, so occasionally he would force Carth to leap and snarl at someone even though Carth would say it was alright to have some. He doesn't talk very much or able to form very coherent sentences, and he use to try and influence Carth to challenge and kill the person across the room from him who looked at him strangely (but it never worked). Currently it stays quiet unless Carth gets riled up during a fight or gets a huge boost in adrenaline, but when it gets too quiet for long it mumbles randomly in the back of Carth's mind.

Facts:
He's heterosexual and currently dating Anne Wild fav.me/d65lawi. _{(dating since June 2, 2013 (or 3013 for ZP))}
Carth loves his sweets, especially tootsie rolls. They're pretty much the only candy that has him drool uncontrollably (just not down his face kinda drooling)
He grew up playing basketball, and finds himself showing off a bit while on the court.
He absolutely hates snails: meaning he wants to pour a pound of salt all over them. During the rainy seasons he usually keeps a small packet of salt in his bag to pour over the biggest sucker he can find. Hate really started when he was young, and one day while parkouring after a rainy day he slipped on a snail and fell two stories onto solid concrete, which really fractured his legs. The lack of money they had meant he couldn't have a proper cast, so he was out of service for two months.
Carth may not act like it, but he fears the parasite inside of him. Occasionally he'll feel a bit brave to beat back the parasite, but eventually fear takes hold which gives Ebbe better control over his host.
Ebbe doesn't give a shit.
Because Carth refuses to interact with his parasite, their minds are not "linked", which makes Ebbe forget things that happened a few minutes to a few hours later. This causes many problems, for if Ebbe fought someone who beat him down, the next day he may still have the rage but forget why he hates them. This has lead Carth to wind up in the medical bay on a regular basis.
He loves to have dance battles. No... really. D:
He is allergic to real coconut. Artificially flavored is fine, but the real stuff is a no no. Gives him hives.
He can play blackjack and poker, although he's not very good at the poker part... especially strip poker.
Grew up in Love'n'Cherish Orphanage in Southwest Egonfeld, about a twenty minute drive outside of Neo City Central, which was pretty much a popular place where prostitutes would drop off the children they didn't want/couldn't take care of anymore. Nuns ran the place, which would be the reason why Carth is as polite as he is. His friends are what kept his personality unique.
Carth has tapetum lucidum, which is a layer of tissue common in the eyes of many vertebrae animals. This causes him to have eyeshine, which makes his pupils appear like they're glowing in dim light or in flash pictures. This is the reason why he usually wears much lighter sunglasses in dim light when in public, just in case the light hits his eyes at a certain angle or someone takes a picture with him in the background. If you're still confused, here's a Wiki link. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapetum_…
