Nah, is good.

Alright, good

Name: Dr. Nikolai "Nick" Lamont

Age: 29 years
Gender/Pronouns: Cis male, he/him

Orientation: Biromantic asexual

Role: Scientist

Appearance: He stands at approximately 6'2", with a lanky but solid build. Wiry limbs, veiny hands, long fingers. His skin is a light olive color, with a few freckles dotting his angular face. Green-grey eyes that observe the world from behind a pair of black, rectangular glasses.

Personality: In the past, Nick could've been described as an empathetic, gentle, soft-spoken, timid fellow. He was known for being kind, a man who desired to help others. Some people he knew him far enough back might've even considered him to be one of the people who would've had opinions opposing the idea of human experimentation, even on a criminal. What changed and when, nobody can exactly pinpoint; all that is known is that, when he came to work for the Asylum, he was not quite like the previous description.

He works at the Asylum with great enthusiasm, conducting his experiments in a way so happy that it's borderline concerning. He speaks to the prisoners in a friendly manner, though sometimes there seem to be some subtle dark undertones to his approaches with them. He shows no remorse for any experiments made and is proud of his job and his work at the Asylum. He suffers from anxiety on occasion. He is curious and seems thoroughly unbothered by things that may be considered morbid or disturbing, often laughing it off like it's all some wonderful game.

He enjoys testing the limits to see how much someone can take or how far they can be pushed before breaking.

Background: Aside from his emotionally abusive father, Nick lived a halfway normal life. He was a good kid, shy but kind. He wanted to be a psychologist or counselor and help people with mental illnesses— but about right before he finished his degree, he shifted gears and went into the medical field, especially captured by the study of human anatomy, injuries, and pain. What caused him to change his mind is unclear to most people, but he is very intelligent when it comes both to the human mind and body.

Name: Project Lazarus (previously named Stellan Mars)

Age: 25 years

Gender/Pronouns: Cis male, he/him/they

Orientation: unclear; demi-something, though.

Role: Long-term experiment

Appearance:
When his mutation isn't distorting his appearance by making him appear monstrous, Lazarus appears rather non-threatening. He stands at approximately 5'7", with light skin and a small-ish build. His body is solid, but he does not appear extraordinarily strong or muscular under normal circumstances. He has large, mismatched eyes— one a light blue-grey color, the other a hazel brown. Soft masculine features. His hair is curly and reaches down to his shoulders, a chocolate-brown color.

Personality:
Lazarus is highly unstable due to the experiments he has undergone; he can be intelligent, timid, and gentle when he isn't beside himself, but more often than not, he is slightly unhinged. He hears things, talks to himself (sings to himself when he's feeling extra nervous), and hides from light. He does not like other people, both because he is afraid of them and afraid of hurting them. Under normal circumstances, he is actually incredibly logical, philosophical, and empathetic— but he goes through intense moodswings where he is unapproachable. He has intense self-hatred and considers himself a monster; he is suicidal but understands that dying is virtually impossible for him right now.

Mutations/Powers/Etc?: (TW in advance… his power is kinda gory. If it's too gory, lemme know and I'll change it.)

Lazarus's body heals at an alarming rate, and he would be nearly impossible to kill by physical means. It is theorized that, if he were to be blown to bits, if a small portion of his brain-stem managed to survive the blast, the rest of his body would regenerate within minutes. He can also generate more muscle, bone, sinew, and flesh at will, which means he can occasionally grow extra arms, increase his strength by creating more muscles, alter his size and physical appearance greatly, etc. It is important to note, though, that the process of regenerating (or growing an extra limb, or whatever) is extremely painful for him— so, except for regeneration, which happens regardless of whether or not he wants it to, he will not regularly be sprouting extra limbs or muscle for the fun of it. Under general circumstances, he will look like his normal self and just heal almost instantaneously. His powers can be hindered by certain specialized drugs, although they do not completely undo his power, only weaken it exponentially.

Background:
Little is known of Stellan Mars except that he went to jail for the premeditated murder of a low-tier government official and for conspiring against the government.

Other: He is usually incredibly hungry and eats a lot of protein, possibly because his metabolism is now wack due to his odd mutation.

I hope these are okay. Let me know if I should change them.

Yeah, they're great!
