character concept- "merge" (Patreon)

UPDATE on LION TAMER: we are well past 105 pages right now with the end in sight!!! because of the MASSIVE page count (this will be my longest issue ever) i will be breaking this up into parts and releasing them weekly like a series. i figure it will be much easier for you guys to keep track and keep it more organized. anyway.....

another character whose origins will be present in lion tamer. and there will be better art for it in the comic

merge is a part time getaway driver for the ASAS snuff film ring and an underground MMA fighter. during the rescue attempt of feng xi, she is cornered by a mutated and pregnant /kady who distributes her young to her. the embryos dissolved into her bloodstream, creating kadys first "offspring".

gifted with the same ability of speed and keen hunting abilities, in her mutated form, merge becomes an entity that is part octopus part rattlesnake with an insatiable thirst for blood, likened to that of a drug; once its fed, it will not stop. the only way to ease her strain is for kady to bestow maternal affection to her newly bonded "young."

her speed is equal if not more so advanced than kadys and with several swarming tentacles, her manuverability and enhanced strength makes her a chip of the ole block of kadys strain.

in dormant states, kady and merge share a strange and unexplainable relationship as the strain influences them to behave in a nurturing way to one another despite differences of opinion of each other.
