Other personality notes:
- Puts on an extremely charismatic persona when he’s on the job &/or looking around for food
- Not naturally quiet, but he’s learned that keeping to himself (outside of work & finding food) means he’s less likely to have problems
*These traits are only REALLY applicable to people he actually likes (unfortunately)
ABILITIES, etc.
- Fast, flexible, & physically sturdy
- Can sniff out food pretty easily
- Regenerates slowly when injured & does NOT have a high pain tolerance
- Saliva causes wounds to become temporarily numb & to heal significantly slower
- Consuming his blood & flesh in small amounts can cause a very nice physical high, but ingesting Too Much will eventually cause the person to go into a temporary state of paralysis
- The chest mouth can bite hard enough to break bones & it can also scream loud enough to shatter glass, etc.
- Can only consume what has died & been brought back to life (i.e. necromancied animals, vampires, zombies, etc.) without throwing up blood
- Usually drives customers around in a "regular ol' limousine" that seems to, on rare occasions, have a mind of its own
OTHER DETAILS
- Has dyslexia & protanopia
- Scared of doctors & hospitals
- Naturally has an Irish accent, but when he’s bored he’ll mimic a midwestern American accent
- He’s been in & out of therapy since the 1960s & he often gives up & stops going after ~1-2 weeks
- If Taka realizes a meal isn’t worth the trouble & effort, he will simply nope on out of the situation & hope to god he isn’t being pursued by said meal
- Outside of all of the wallets & IDs, Taka often cleans up the belongings of his meals before donating them to thrift shops & homeless shelters & if there are any remaining bones, etc. then he’ll sell those to various occult & oddity shops
- Miscellaneous interests: aquariums, ceramics, dancing, hamsters, math, music, sewing, old cars, street + drag racing, Valentine's Day, taking computers apart, gutting animals, & eating mangoes when he knows he shouldn’t be eating mangoes
