[starseedling]

MONSTER FEATURES

GLITTER SCALES (100%)

★ Pale pink, yellow, blue and white scales that glitter and come off as a powder when touched. These cover his wings, back, and portions of his carapace.
span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: yellow; font-weight: bold; font-size: 15px;">★ Currently covers his wings, back, shoulders, and hips, arranged in stripe-like patterns.

WINGS (100%)

★ Fully grown white, pink, yellow and blue spiny flower mantis-style wings.
★ Can carry his own weight with relative ease, as well as the weight of another person or other significant burden for a lesser period of time.

CARAPACE (80%)

★ Sections of skin have fully transformed into a layer of white carapace. They provide plate metal armor level defense.
★ Currently most pronounced around forearms, thighs, shins, and down his spine.

ANTENNAE (90%)

★ Long antenna grow from his brow, currently about 10 inches long with an crown-like carapace definine their base.

ENLARGED EYES (30%)

★ His sclera have become slightly pinkish, and his irises brighter in hue.

EXTRA ARMS (30%)

★ After his most recent molt, he's discovered carapace-covered lumps running along the base of his ribs and towards his shoulder blades. They currently don't get in the way, but they feel a bit weird. After another molt, they have increased in size and become more defined.

TRANSFORMATIONS

MAY ★ Skin itches and starts flaking where scales are coming in. ★ Skin begins slightly thickening where carapace will form. ★ Two small "pimple" bumps grow where antennae will be.

JUNE ★ Glittery scales thicken and covers back, shoulders, and hips in stripe patterns. ★ Carapace patches pale in skin tone and become harder. ★ Antennae begin to sprout, growing a couple inches long. ★ His illusion powers manifest for the first time, used to conceal his presence from a giant spider.

FULL MOON ★ Scales begin appearing fully, becoming sparkly and coming off as powder. ★ Antennae start emerging from bumps for the first time. ♦ Steven spends the first month without any powers, and is only completely certain he's a monster as of the full moon. He's not particularly happy about it.

FULL MOON ★ Wings emerge during molting, at about 50% of their potential size. Steven discovers he can fly for brief periods of time. ★ Carapace patches become completely smooth, white, and shimmery in light. The defense they offer is increased to something approaching leather armor. ★ Antennae grow to about 5 inches long, deepening into a pink color. ♦ Steven gains these changes after molting off a full layer of chrysalis-like skin. When he wakes up on the full moon, his faerie urges manifest in earnest for the first time. His illusion abilities become more focused and potent, enhanced by the moons.

JULY ★ Wings gradually increase in size and strength. ★ Antennae continue growing in length. ★ Steven practices flying and using his illusion at the Little Melody music hall, increasing his skill with both.

AUGUST ★ His glitter scales finish growing in, completing their pattern. ★ Carapace gradually hardens to something like plate armor. ★ Eyes turn a brighter pink and iris size increases slightly.

FULL MOON ★ Hardened patches of skin become durable white carapace. ★ Wings increase significantly in size. ★ Lumps have formed around the base of his ribs, covered in segmented carapace. ♦ Steven sheds another skin at the beginning of the full moon, much like before. After his recent bond with Toby, though, he manages to keep his head together better this time.

FULL MOON ★ The lumps of carapace around his ribs become larger and more arm shaped. ★ His wings and antennae reach full size. ★ Skin left over from molts has the quality of diamonds, with shining effect. It's a bizarre crystalline-organic hybrid material. ★ Steven creates and bestows his first Fae Blessing to Toby in exchange for a birthday present. ♦ Molting is apparently a monthly thing now. ♦ Steven's birthday falls on the Full Moon, and that and the emotional stress of missing his family causes him to succumb to faerie mania and go out to trap people in his house via illusions. It's a party!
