“Other aspects of your character… are disctint liabilities. Inconvenient elements, such as a sense of morality, scruples, decency. So, I’m going to erase them. Replace them with an attitude more in keeping with your new life as a Reaver. Instant psychic re-programming. Like being reborn. No muss… No fuss, Presto Changeo… A whole new you! Isn’t that nice?” — Pretty Boy.
Pretty Boy has bionic extendible arms and sharp fingers. Besides he has fiber-optics filaments which could combine with his telepathic powers using them for transform a person in a Reaver.
