Re: my headcanon for Karl’s scars:

So obviously all of the soldats have the same incision lines because it’s just is easier to copy and paste a generic sculpt, right?

But the lycans have quite a few variations, and thinking about it with in-world logic, Karl made machines to mass produce these soldats. They are all the same cookie cutter products.

He spent time messing around trying to find the right combination of modifications, incisions, injections, alterations and corpse deterioration.

But where would he start? What’s his knowledge of medical incisions? What if it’s his own? Like the scars Miranda gave him and the other ones he got over the decades.

So I sketched every incision on the soldats and based his body scars off that. Even the ones we can see on him matched pretty closely to the positions of the the ones on his soldats.

And then I was playing RE6 and discovered another villain who rips his body apart to turns himself into a giant metal flesh thing: Simmons. But before that, he has THIS sexy fucking form (Leon sits on him and I’m jealous)

So it was then even more painfully apparent that we were robbed of Heisenberg having an in between normal and mutated version.

So I tried to fix that. Where his skin had scars is where it would split and disintegrate to adapt to his chosen form.

I MEAN IT WOULD MAKE SENSE canonically. The cadou gives them all regeneration abilities. In concept art he’s shown getting arrows to the face and he’s definitely been stabbed and slashed by Lady D more than a couple times. All of this he could heal with time and energy.

So apologies for the disquisition/dissertation but I have so many thoughts about this game and so many stories I want to tell cause I know Capcom won’t.

Those of which are the Lords’ backstories, daily lives, interactions, and simply just the way they breathe and function. And like he doesn’t cough from the cigars ever even though he’s smoking them constantly, AND HIS BREATHING IN MERCENARIES IS SO DEEP AND SLOW….

Don’t even get me started on his eyebrow scar.

Okay bye
