Changed (RPG)

First Colin is relatively skinny, has amnesia, has no clue what is going on at the labs, and is facing latex creatures who can absorb or transform him with a touch. All he has going for him is his wits, relatively fast speed compared to most of the other creatures, and Puro's help. Dr. K lampshades Colin being up against insurmountable odds in trying to escape the lab facility given it being swarmed with escaped experiments that want to consume him on sight. However, the man often slips on rubbish or manages to get himself into predicaments that attract the attention of the latex beasts.

He's been in cryogenic stasis for so long, he can't remember how he ended up in the tower or who's been taking care of him.

Noted by Puro, Colin is physically frail, unable to move heavy metal crates. Colin can move surprisingly fast. Being in stasis for so long, any food given to him gives him an energy burst. Later on this is the obvious trap of a latex beast lying in wait.

The Human has very few, if any, lines of non-choice dialogue, and mostly conveys his feelings through pictorial speech bubbles.

He wants to escape the tower complex to the outside world, not knowing there may be nothing for him out in the ruins before learning of such. Every time a latex creature captures and starts assimilating him, it is always an unwilling transformation, but there's nothing he can do to fight back against these predators once in their clutches.

He doesn't realize he carries the deadly incurable Pale Virus and it's slowly killing him. And The Human appears to be a scrawny man with messy brown hair and bright blue eyes: the only clothing he is shown wearing are a pair of latex shorts. And then we have puro! Puro is a latex wolf-like creature with dark, dense, soft 'fur'. He appears to wear a white mask, somewhat resembling the mask of a female dark latex, but he has been confirmed to be male. He has white pupils, and when compared to other dark latex creatures, he is somewhat taller and has a larger tail. Unlike the other more instinctual monsters Puro exhibits higher sapience than the rest of his species; he is a studious, curious, and compassionate being that humbles himself in wanting to become a better and better exemplar of his species. Though wary of humans, he is fascinated by them and even wishes to become friends with one. As a dark latex beast, he is also a natural enemy of light latex monsters.

Puro points out in the Aquatic Area he is unable to swim, as his body's cellular density is too great. Since he doesn't need to breathe underwater however, it's of little concern besides getting his tail wet.

A low relationship with Puro sees the Betrayal ending playing out. After reaching the end of the Aquatic Area, he'll give up hope of escaping the building alive, as without a host body, he doesn't have long to live before regeneration destroys his newfound sapience. He devastatedly reveals he always doubted Colin could survive with the world outside. Hoping to spare his friend and himself from dying ignoble and lonely deaths, he opts to "transfur" Colin personally, trapping him in a hallway with no escape. The latter has been running from barely sentient monsters, and should know how utterly screwed he is at this point. The worst possible outcome is Puro fully assimilating Colin into himself. The second worst has him instead turn the latter into a blue-eyed version of himself, referring to him as an extension of his being under his control. Only the power of friendship and playing on Normal mode can avert this. And now Dr. K! Dr. K is a bioengineer scientist, and as such, they operate with a cold and calculated behaviour - which is especially noticeable in the Special Edition where they completely disregard Puro's and Colin's attempts to leave and interfering with him maintaining the probable safety of the remaining human population. They display deep concern for the survival of humanity. This is in spite of themself no longer being human, which they mention several times. They are committed to keep the protagonist in the Thunder Science facility to prevent the virus from spreading again. And After the Dark Latex Creatures were deemed a failure during the 'Genetic Project', the scientists carried on with their experiments, in the hopes of making a latex that wouldn't result in the host becoming feral. And once again, they failed. The Light Latex, also referred to as "living milk puddings" (by the protagonist), white blobs or piles of goo, are the very first and most basic.
