Amalgam (DTR)

An Amalgam is a Form of Deviant characterized by a seamless fusion of two or more sapient beings.

Overview

Before the Divergence, the Broken was two or more distinct, sapient beings, and his memories are a patchwork of their experiences. Most Amalgams consist solely of human partners, but some are people fused with supernatural creatures from this world or ones stranger. Most Amalgams involve the combination of two beings. However, some are a gestalt of three, five, or even a hundred formerly distinct creatures.

Amalgam personalities are usually a seamless fusion of their source material, recombining traits so that the Deviant’s temperament resembles a child born of the amalgamated beings. Some can identify whose memories originally belonged to whom, while others find it impossible to tell the difference anymore.

Amalgams differ from Symbiotes or the Alternate Personality Scar in that the Amalgam is a single consciousness synthesized from multiple beings, rather than multiple consciousnesses existing in the same body. A Chimeric, being the hybridization of two creatures, may be an Amalgam, but this is not always the case.

An Amalgam can sacrifice a small number of Skills in order to draw on the Skills of other component beings.
