To some Lawrence looks intimidating and cold, with cunningly glinting eyes and body curled up like a predator ready to bounce. To others, he's tall, lean figure hidden behind layers of clothes even in the boiling sunlight.
Lawrence is a tall, athletic man with pale, barely tanned skin - where there is skin, that's it. As an ex-soldier he takes care of his body by doing various sports from swimming to cardio, or whatever is possible during the time and place. Where as the symbiotic alien inhabiting his body burns away all extra calories even if he tried to fatten himself up.
Half of him looks almost perfectly normal human. Long and straight black hair goes down middle of his back, often pulled on lazy ponytail. Dark eyebrow shadowing over knowing crimson eye. He has high cheekbones and strong, but sharp jaw.
Pair of slightly different looking horns curves out of Lawrence's head; other smooth and flowing, other jagged and sharp. Dark scales and hardened skin running down from other side of man's head all the way to feet.
Sharp teeth not quite fitting his mouth curling against his cheek, pair of milky, unblinking eyes. Spikes sprouting from his body, as if he needed more protection. Claws sharp and lethal.
Smaller, extra hand with dexterity superior to humans, compensating the clumsy, hulking hand more fit to destroying things than holding them gently.
Lawrence's walk is a tad swaying, stronger push from the alien side of the body, while the human side steps more gently - but neither side wastes energy in their gait.
His voice is throaty, with a small lisp - since the sharp teeth makes speaking a bit harder. When Carroegan wants to speak, their voice takes echoing quality - like two voices speaking at the same time; other deep and soft, other lighter but raw.

Lawrence was born and raised at the large space station ran and owned by humans. Both of his parents were in military at some point of their lives and so Lawrence was raised with discipline and expectation of following their footsteps.
Humans were pretty new in this whole 'galactic exploration' thing; while they weren't oppressed or threatened by other alien species, they weren't really respected either because of how young their species were. This is why the people in the space station were clone knit community. Everyone knew everyone and they were very much loyal to eachother. Like one, big family.
Lawrence visited the Earth only couple of times, but in the end liked the space station the most; he also wanted to make his parents proud by becoming best in his class.
He followed the career path laid to him from birth. Like a true patriot he went up in ranks
HISTORY LESSON
fairly quickly and in the end was given a chance to join SuSo. Project (Super Soldier Project); leaders of the space station though they needed something more; something stronger to protect their species.
At first it was fairly innocent; trying to find ways to enchant normal humans so they could go even physically with most alien species. But it wasn't enough, It never was.
During one of the scouting missions around the galaxy humans found a new alien species; symbiotic thing, that latched in their preferred host, making them stronger, faster, but also making them more aggressive. Making the creature to bond with harmless raven the effects were hoped... and, feared as well. The raven grew in size, quickly rivaling the size of biggest birds of prey back at Earth, but ten times meaner.
They were close, but it wasn't quite what they wanted, After all soldiers that couldn't follow orders were no soldiers at all.
Research found out that the creatures known as cēterus' made this all happen by bonding their body with the host, but also by manipulating the host's hormones. To combat this humans started to create medicine that would combat against the most hormonal changes, but allowing body to grow and become stronger. It was finally time to test it on a human subject.
Lawrence; as a member of the Project had been fascinated and so he volunteered. He had his utmost trust at leaders of this project; of his kind-of friends.
And then the day came. He bid his goodbyes to his parents and friends.
The cēterus was injected in him with a thick needle to his right arm. At fist Lawrence didn't notice anything different, but soon it changed,
-- "His heart rate is going up!"
-- "Convulsions? Bring the restraints!!"
-- "Heart rate is still going up! 160... no! 200!"
Lawrence didn't remember much else. He could feel his heart pulsing wildly in his chest. It felt like he couldn't breathe - like something was pressing his lungs and ribs. His muscles were spasming, And the pain - oh the pain. Nothing he had ever felt, nor could explain. It was like he was being torn apart from inside, while being stabbed from outside.
Pathetic groan later; his hear stopped- no longer able to hold on.
And then it started again, as if something was grasping it in their palm and forcing it to work. Tudum. Tudum.
Lawrence was unconscious for days. It wasn't sure if he was going to survive.
He did.
When Lawrence woke up, he had never been as hungry as he was. So hungry, that even the doctor checking on him seemed like the most delicious dinner he had ever seen. The sedatives running in his system was the only thing saving the doctor that day. He was soon injected with the hormonal cocktail meant to keep him sane. It eased his hungerangerragefear a little.
Something was wrong - Lawrence could see it from the eyes of the scientist.
"Project Lazarus was a failure, while the Cē bonded with you, it seems the transformation got halted somehow. We are sorry--"
Lawrence was kept in isolation after that; after all it had been a secret project. However it could've been worse. He was given all the modern ways to keep himself entertained. He didn't mind it much. Until something happened to change it.
He heard it first. Like an explosion far, far away and Lawrence knew he heard it only because of his superior hearing. Soon emergency lights started to flash; warnings blaring around the station.
They were under attack.
Soon the station was at fire; explosions raging the ship and persons of interests being evacuated first.
Something urged Lawrence to move- to leave and run. Something primal from very core of himself, They didn't want to die. Lawrence realized that not all of those feelings belonged to him when he heard deep, raspy voice whispering his name; whispering the best escape routes, ways to survive. Lawrence thought he was going crazy, if not him being unable to control right side of his body.
"Comecomecomecomecome M O V E"
He followed and survived somehow. Not many did. He stared the ruined space station from the small window in the escape shuttle he had settled in. Explosion was the last thing he saw before everything went dark.
STRENGHTS
▸Superior physical strength: While the mutated side will always be stronger, his human body got slightly stronger as well. Mutated side's strong enough to turn a car upside-down without sweat, strong enough to crush steel bare handed. Slightly faster than average human, but not as fast as most Earth's best professional runners.
▸Good night vision: Sees during a day as a normal human would, however mutated side's eyes can see very well in dark. If compared side-by- side, Lawrence sees further and sharper in dark than in light.
▸Endurance: Can run, fight (etc) far longer than a normal human would, rarely gets tired from physical activities.
▸Enchanted healing: Can stand and heal damage better and faster than a human. Can heal most critical wound if given time to do so. However things like decapitation or getting burned alive still kills him. Lawrence also ages slower, but he is still not immortal.
▸ Enchanted immune-system: While Lawrence doesn't get sick that often anymore, he can still catch some viruses, even though he will heals from those faster. Can eat almost anything living without getting physically sick. Immune to most poisons and toxins, however can still be affected by large doses of tranquilizers etc.
WEAKNESSES
▸Low temperatures: Carroegan cannot stand very low temperatures (under -40 degrees). It will first make him sleepy, and then fall into hibernation, in which cases Lawrence's mutated side will stop reacting, comparable to being paralyzed. Movement will return once temperature rises again.
▸Fast metabolism: Lawrence needs to eat a lot during a day, because of how much energy his body uses in normal day-to-day life. He needs to eat thrice the normal human male would eat, and even more if he's doing physically taxing things. Without rest and food he can starve to death in mere days.
▸Disagreements: In some cases when Carroegan and Lawrence disagrees on some things, Carroegan can wrench the control of mutated side of the body to himself.
▸Light sensitivity: Where as the mutated side has a good nightvision, it cannot stand bright lights very well. Because of it Lawrence wears eyepatch during the day. Simple things like pointing a flashlight towards the said eyes can blind them for few minutes. Obviously the human side doesn't suffer from the same thing.
▸Liquid mercury: While vaporized mercury holds no danger to Lawrence as it would to normal humans, it's liquid form is quite harmful to his mutated side. It burns the scales and affects him same way lava on normal skin would, expect it spreads and can easily 'infect' the whole side and can persist for hours without relief.
