What do you know of their mechanics?:
Bacterial colony species that formed into a solid humanoid mass, a mixture of parts stolen and hybridized from prey.
Using nutrition to stabilize and regenerate the colony, prey can substitute if they need a boost of nutrition. (Surprisingly Virus food doesn't work on them?)
In Their feral state security can "tase" them, but it would be better to just get them all pissy and run off into the maints. (mostly due to IC and OOC separation issues, and people getting confused why a feral animal is barking at them)
In most cases they'll revolve around maint predding.
Mechanically though, they're immune to bacteria have low comfort with the cold (which will be fun for RP). They hallucinate when no one is around and something is wrong with them. They get constant messages reminding them to act feral, and they have a hibernation state. Something that takes 4-20 minutes depending on their nutrition level, and can allow the xenochimera to "morph" in game based on what they ate (what was changed in their save slot)
What do you know of their lore?:
Origins unknown but presumed to be sourced as "that colony of bacteria you hear about on some lifeless planet".
Not much else is known about them, making them a sought after commodity by xeno-biologists. Medical and Security have minor briefings on them, but more to handle their feral aspects. (OOC doubt anyone will know much about them either). They have feral bouts when they're placed in a danger state, or hybernative slurry states when they're touched by the cold. A fair amount of subtle things and not so subtle things where they act like wild animal.
They're also Messy.
What idea did you have for your character?:
Create a new blankish looking character that ate a human and then work from there.
Keep them more distant with an Identity crisis. Away from command positions and more of a pension for Feral Predding outbursts.
I kind of want to lean in with the Mimicry aspect, Have them hide their appendages and try and "blend in" more.
Might want to actually start up a new character with this, or simply evolve their appearance over time.
Possibly blending in appendages of victims (prey) to a hodge podge of different aspects. Making them dramatically evolve over time.
In most cases, I'll be using the "traditional" gullet unless someones into melty digestion. Just because that's more of a fan favorite and doubly easier to describe.
Plan on having separate vore panels, potentially new ones each time they get a new part.
The one issue I have is the whole "feral" aspect would almost encourage Self antagging. but that can also just be scene leaning. Potentially have them be an exploration member, have them get banged up a lot. Then when they come back, they'll be on the hunt for whatever they can find. The only issue of course being that they're rather Robust, and robust exploration would be eh. The other option would be a shaft miner, Janitor, or some lower form of security.
Leaning shaft miner as well. Due to their phobia of the cold, that will give me ample opportunity to have them covered in as many layers of clothing as possible, goggles face masks. All sorts of things to keep the cold away from their body. Then to re-emerge with whatever new appendages they have when they jump their prey. She'll be quieter in her non-feral state. Think "The thing" where she just looms and grunts with little word outside of a few signals.
