Dialogue

First encounter: Nowak Hello. Hans You are forming a colony? Nowak Uhh... Bosch Is this thing even human? It looks too polyp-y for my taste. Hans I wish to integrate into this pre-colonial mass. Nowak No, no we're just a travelling party. Not a... mass... Hans I am being rejected. Nowak No, you can come with us if you like. Are you... Are you able to fight? Hans I lack the anatomical elements to inflict harm effectively. ... However, my being is antiseptic in nature. Perhaps my value could be derived from mitigating incoming harm. Nowak Yeah, we could use a medic. Tag along. Hans I will accompany your travelling party until I succumb to asphyxiation. Bosch Great, we're barely into this journey and you've made friends with a talking hemorrhoid. Meeting them afterwards: Nowak Hey, are you still willing to tag along with us? Hans I will accompany you on this journey. Meeting them afterwards with a full party: Nowak Hey, are you still willing to tag along with us? Hans Your pre-colonial mass appears to be already at a critical density. I must decline.

Tips

• Hans is very effective at removing excess blue pigment to prevent overflow
• Hans has the best AOE healing in the game, however she has trouble healing herself unless she has the "Mend" ability, combined with the fact she has delicate, it means it's probably best to try to keep her away from danger.

Trivia

• Hans is blue due to suffering from late stage asphyxiation. Under normal circumstance, she would be red/pink, like the inside of a lung.
• The name Hans in real life is often a man's name. Hans chose this name because before encountering Nowak, the first person she encountered called her "one of those vile leviathans" and she couldn't remember the whole word "leviathans". Eventually, she remembered the word and gave Leviat his name.
• Hans is constantly wet to the touch and smells of overripe peaches.
• Hans uses female pronouns, but doesn't really have an understanding of gender as a concept. She just likes how female pronouns sound.
• Hans doesn't really have biological sex in any meaningful sense.
• Hans superficially resembles a flower, but is actually closer to an oversized and sentient alveoli.
• Hans is capable of moving significantly faster than the rest of the party, arriving at the destination long before the others have a chance to arrive, but she chooses not to because "it would make the microcolonies feel sad".
• Hans made four masks to communicate different emotions she was experiencing and would change them to express her current mood. No one ever noticed that Hans had been changing her mask between combat encounters, as all four masks were extremely similar. She eventually gave three of these masks to Leviat.
• Leviat and Hans' colonial organism home was heavily inspired by the multimedia project "Mystery Flesh Pit".
• Hans' visual appearance was inspired by the protagonist of the music video "Kalopsia" by the Queens of The Stone Age.
• Hans is the most nutritious and tasty party member.
