Description
Just a two-for-one view drawn for me by NotMuchNormal of Project H, one of two bodyguards - the other being a Project S - to a minor but important character in my setting... none other than Dr. Nancy Nauls, Joe and Kannuki's "creator" and the woman who gave them a second chance.

The 'rough' parts of him have transformed into a stony substance (part of the same substance which gave Kannuki his current look and powerset was also used to boost/empower him).

Background Info

Project H (H for Hrungnir, even if it's pronounced more like "Rungnir" in the original Norse) used to be a skilled and dangerous but also disgraced former pro boxer, part of a favored stable of fighters for the actually-illegal underground fights (as opposed to the kind of 'aboveground' fights that Joe and Kannuki would participate in) held by La Famiglia.

Until, that is, the day came that he lost both his title and life in a literal deathmatch, and while Nal/Dr. Nauls revived him at the request of one of his few friends in the 'occult Mafia', La Famiglia in general no longer had any interest in employing him.

Reduced to a somehow reanimated and mutated (dead flesh *shouldn't* be capable of mutating but try telling that to Project H) freak, the worlds he knew (underground fights, organized crime, and especially pro boxing - even if any chances of him making a comeback were dead even before he became a giant cyborg zombie) were forever closed off to him. He's not ungrateful to Dr. Nauls for giving him his job as one of her main two bodyguards, but it's something he's more accepted than embraced.

Personality Info

Compared to Project S, his partner/coworker, he'd be almost totally humorless and very robotic (in behavior) despite once being a living person (though not necessarily a human). This is partly by choice, but just as much of a defense mechanism to keep himself from falling into despair over how he can never truly return to the world he once was part of.

Useless Trivia

Why is he wearing nothing but track pants? Besides how they're some of the few things that fit him anymore, it's actually

1. An indication of his elite status among the Necroborgs (his kind) - those track pants are real, but pricy.

2. An allusion to his now-long-gone past life.

Project H also subverts another fiction trope I see all the time - robots or equivalent beings that look perfectly human but can't speak like a normal person if their lives depended on it.

Project H could never be mistaken for a human, but he can mimic a perfectly normal human voice*, although his usual 'normal voice' is a lot more inhuman for intimidation purposes.

* = though in turn, any commands from him to step away from his charge/employer would probably be taken seriously regardless of whether he sounds 'normal' or outright inhuman.
