Origin[]
Jeffrey Dahmer (May 21, 1960 – November 28, 1994), also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was an American serial killer and sex offender who killed and dismembered seventeen men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Many of his later murders involved necrophilia, cannibalism, and the permanent preservation of body parts—typically all or part of the skeleton.
At an early age he was interested in dead animals, often feeling excited by the sound of bones. Once he began asking, his father was an analytical chemist and showed Dahmer how chemicals like bleach and formaldehyde would preserve bones. He would later use this knowledge to practice dissecting animals, later refining the same methods on his victims.
Effects[]
Will soak up and release gaseous chemicals at a later instance. Pure oxygen, chloroform, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, nitrous, halogens, ammonia and other common chemical gases are all absorbable. Most substances that require burning or sublimation into a vapor can also pick up the wisps but at much weaker potency. Will never become wet from soaking directly in liquids. There seems to be a limit of 17-18 substances being held at once, although they do not interact and can only be released individually. Holding it grants a slight intuition of what gases may be released.
Leaves growing slashes across the body of those that inhale the released gases. They start off centimeters wide and grow lengthwise beneath the skin. It slowly burns the skin and flesh, cauterizing it in position until it grows more the next time.
