General anatomical and limb configuration for Crimm, the delivery woman.

Spiders and humans are pretty distant when it comes to anatomical relation, but I've tried to mix it as best I could. Crimm has highly evolved musculature and bone structural function, much more biologically advanced than her parents and originator species. Her joints can snap back and forth and remain equally functional, like inverting the direction your elbow bends.

When shifting joint directions people often get worried that Crimm broke the joint itself due to the loud "pop" sound, but that's just the sound of the two-way joints switching from one direction and locking into another. It's painless, but frequent switching could lead to joint strain. Crimm eats a lot due to this thanks to her quick internal healing of the straining.

The smaller middle legs are for maintaining hygiene at the end of her thorax. The tiny chest claws are biologically intended to hold eggs, but since Crimm doesn't intend on becoming a mom anytime soon she just uses them to hold cats instead.

DOLORES DEI

More on her in the Abyssal DE timeline below... (potential spoiler warning!)

I did some reading up on Dolores Dei, long dead native of Elysium, yesterday at the point of writing this blog post. What I read, while undoubtedly altered a bit through time and 300 years worth of retelling the same story, fascinated me.

If the logs and retellings are to be believed, she exhibited hostal symptoms, which should be impossible since she never once channels at any point. She’s dead. The fact that she was murdered by one of her own therriers who claimed that she wasn’t human supports this, but take it with a grain of salt. Potential insanity and all that.

Currently within the Abyssal DE timeline she holds the title of “False Host” to me (less to the natives of Elysium) due to these reasons. Abyssal Harry (the true, ACTUAL host) finds Dolores Dei so frightening that he’ll enter a terrified territorial reaction, the fact that she’s been long gone from life does little to calm him down unless you manage to distract him. When he sees her, his Inner Intelligences let him know quite hard that she’s LIKE him, but in a way that isn’t right. She’s masquerading, while Harry’s the real deal. Like a worse version of uncanny valley.

I’m still in the early stages of this AU but that’s the general gist so far. False host shows up 300 years ago, fucks around with hostal powers she shouldn’t logically have, and then a real host shows up way later. In the form of a psychic corspe-looking drunkard.
