Kiriko Nishizawa

Prototype #6 = Experiment: Crystal Cloak Adaptation/Resurrection

This experiment wasn't based on anything in particular, and Junko just wanted to make something that looked aesthetically pleasing, yet was still creepy and despairing. Eventually, she settled on making the next subject a new organ: a cloak made of her own skin, completely live tissue, and able to move like a limb would. The cloak would also be covered in reflective crystals, just to add an aesthetic to the experiment.

First, the cloning machine was used to grow a large amount of extra skin tissue, which would become Kiriko's "cloak". Then, multitudes of small bones were created, which would become part of the thin limbs that would move and support the cloak. Eventually we sewed the skin into the shape of a cloak, and had used the tiny bones, along with nerve and muscle tissue, to create the limbs and distribute them throughout the skin cloak. There was still open parts in the skin that we would eventually attach to her.

By this point , we began the resurrection process and repaired the damaged organs so we would be able to attach the cloak and have the skin fuse with it. We then stitched the new skin to the shoulders, and attached the support limbs to the bones and nerves on the shoulders. Now that the cloak was a part of Kiriko, we now had to make it crystalline. We injected chemicals that altered the genes of the skin cells in the "cloak". Instead of hair, the follicles grow crystals. The crystals themselves are made of chitin and calcium. The chemicals seemed to have altered a few groups of cells around her body as well, since the crystals have grown in random spots all around her regular skin as well. Junko decided that the cloak wasn't enough, and decided to inject smaller doses of the chemicals into her scalp as well. Her scalp still grows hair, but it has a different chemical compound and is semi-translucent and shimmery, reflecting multiple colors at once.

An unintended effect of the mutating chemicals, her skin changed color, from the greenish hue that resurrection causes, to a brighter blueish color. Her eyes didn't react to the chemicals well, and they constantly leak blood, and a mysterious blue substance, which we later identified as mutated de-oxygenated blood.
