Besides multiple other gruesome scars Hiashi possess, the most frequently reopened is the scar from where his "tails" appear, whenever he uses his abilities.

Right above this unusual scarring his Hiashi's mark, it is in the form of a large centipede, more specifically a Chinese red-headed centipede. It starts above the patch of skin and coils upwards to the middle of his shoulder-blades.

Most of the time, he looks tired, black bags underneath his eyes, a sleepy aura about him, etc. He seems to wear most of his clothes black, and would rather his arms be covered by sleeves of some sort. His nails, both hands and feet, are black, due to the large amount of physical torment, heavy mental stress, anxiety and continuous regeneration over the years. Along with his hair that had eventually faded from black to a ghostly white color, and while his eyes are hazel colored, his left eye will turn red, blackness surrounding it, when he uses his ability.

β Secrets β
β At times Hiashi can't help but wonder what if he allowed the headaches to pass...what would happen?
Hiashi's weapon are four tentacle-like blades that emerge from his lower back around the waist. These sharp tentacles are actual hardened cells that have been altered by Hiashi's abilities. They excel in sheer brute strength and are generally used to overwhelm opponents. They are very light like feathers, and are able to carry up to hundred times more than Hiashi's body weight. However, they aren't indestructible and if wounded in the right place, can cause serious damage.
β Personality β
It's not surprise if you were to see Hiashi staring out the window, or just simply staring at nothing at all. Hiashi is socially withdrawn, seemingly emotionless, and rarely interacts with anyone, except for a select few, to whom he initially displays acknowledgment but with whom he has a generally distant relationship. Hiashi is expressionless but at the same he is able to imitate various reactions and emotions making others question rather it is that he is unable to express emotion, or that he just doesn't have any.
Hiashi is not as smart as some, but he enjoys thinking and gaining more knowledge through any way possible, mostly books, which is exactly why he's often seen reading an old book, or anything that has words on it, basically. If he's reading, it's best not to disturb him. Though it isnβt like he will talk to you anyway.
Hiashi avoids crowded habitats, generally feeling there is no need for social interactions, not like he gets out much. Passive and calm, he harbors a seemingly apathetic attitude towards everything. Though due to his verbal silence, he does pay close attention to others. Surprisingly, he is very wise, accordingly, being unbelievably good at reading others and seems to be able to easily find a solution for a problem if he gives it a thought.
There is at times one moment when Hiashi will show true emotion. And it is during combat. He becomes greatly excited by battles and favors going up against strong opponents. During these times, he can become very aggressive. Regardless of the number of opponents or if the situation seems dire, Hiashi is absolutely fearless and constantly grins and laughs as the fight goes on.
Due to the constant drug intake Hiashi is slowly losing his mind, and giving into insanity. He can feel it crawling up his spine, wrapping it's arms around his body and whispering words in his ears that no one else can hear. It makes him think thoughts that are violent, horrifying, and disgusting, especially whenever he is fighting. It is during these moments that Hiashi is fully capable of committing truly abhorrent and inhumane actions without feeling any shred of remorse or hesitation.
None, Hiashi doesn't posses the emotion called Love.
β History β
As many can assume, Hiashi wasn't always....a monster, but a smiling child. Still, only so much sanity could be kept after experiencing the hell he went through.
Hiashi had a past. It was at a young age that Hiashi and his little sister discovered they were the first two Light Bearers. His parents began to worry for him once they saw the mark on his back, it was a small centipede that grew longer with age. They sent him and his sister to get it checked out, hoping to find some answers. But what happened was that the two children were taken away to a research facility. There they underwent severe experiments painful enough to cause a grown man to lose his sanity. They masked their actions as, "For the good of Commonwealth" or "To Help You". But Hiashi was strong, he could handle the pain. But what they did after all this is what caused Hiashi to go past his breaking point. They took her away. They took his sister away, the only thing that connected him to reality.
Once separated from his sister, Hiashi was taken to a special area for testing. There they truly pushed the boy past his limits. Instead of using his powers on others, they used him. Because of his unique cells and special powers of Biological Manipulation they would often cut the boy open. Selecting areas of his body to take blood and bone samples. Using his insides they created multiple drugs, and reused them on Hiashi. Each drug they created had a different affect on him, non where better than the other. Due to the experiments and drug use Hiashi's hair had turned pure white and nails had been painted black.
It wasn't until the day Hiashi's memories were going to be taken that he truly changed. It was during the finalization of Hiashi's testing that Ira commanded for his memories to be erased. The process required Hiashi to take a small drug, but once Hiashi found out he went crazy. Though he would love to forget about the torment he went through, he didn't want to forget about his sister. But Hiashi was weak and easily subdued, forced to swallow the drugs, Hiashi's whole body felt like it was being torn apart. Losing his grip of reality Hiashi passed out. Upon awaking Hiashi had no memories, no emotions, he had truly become empty. Ira had finally broken the boy.
