“Gay ass wizard says it’s our purpose.”
17ling (pronounced seventeen-ling) is a participant of Crab 5 as a member of Cat Summer. She is a tall, disturbed terrorist and wine critic with a peculiar controllable physiology. She’s a violent, hypersexual sociopath that often intimidates other contestants.
Appearance
17ling is a towering 6’4” (193cm) tall non-human entity with the appearance and biological functions of a feminine humanoid. She has pale skin, black bobbed hair with a long side strand, light gray pupils, gray teeth, and rose red-painted circles on her cheeks. She has a curvaceous figure with noticeably pointy breasts, hairy legs and scars on her arms.
Her standard outfit is a gray turtleneck sweater dress, chunky gray gloves, a gray hairband and red heels. She sometimes wears blue jeans, but often wears just the sweater with red panties.
In Round 2, 17ling took both the age potion and the morality mix. The age potion aged her down to 15, where she has short, spikey black hair with green tips, a black Limp Bizkit t-shirt, white gloves, and JNCO jeans with Converse sneakers. She is much shorter, still has red circles on her cheeks, but also has fresh scar-covered arms that she sometimes wears her usual sweater over. Morality swap 17ling changes her name to “17leighng” and has long blonde hair, a white sweater, gloves, and dress skirt, and wears a cross around her neck.
17ling has a noticeable transatlantic accent because it’s classy.
Personality
17ling is a hypersexual, sadistic bully who cares more about satiating her warped sense of entertainment than any standard public decency. She’s very crass, offensive, vulgar, and has no sense of shame.
She is a very unusual individual and strikes fear in others due to her unpredictability. However, those who are in her good graces will find a fairly chill individual that likes to hang out and smoke.
In Round 2, she takes the morality mix potion, which turns her into a hyper gentle, modest, religious type who is massively homophobic. 15 year old 17ling, as shown in 17ling’s version of Round 2, is suicidal.
Powers and Abilities
The extent of her capabilities are unknown, but she appears to have the ability to alter and minutely control the physiology of her body, such as tightening her vagina to castrate the Houndclops, having a heavy blood flow, modifying the size of her breasts, and being very resilient to damage and disease.
She dislikes using weapons, preferring to use her own body.
Background
Early Life
17ling’s background is shrouded in mystery. No one is sure of her true name and 17ling herself is unsure of what “17ling” means. Her age is unknown and she is best described as a “vaguely non-human feminine entity.”
As a teenager, 17ling was (and still is) a fan of nu-metal music and dressed alternatively. She is believed to have practiced self harm due to the appearance of large scars on her arms.
At some point she was married to a man that she eventually cannibalized. Her best friend is a Rabbids-like rabbit whom 17ling uses as a tampon. 17ling is often found hanging out in rough urban neighborhoods. She likes to play Uno and smoke.
Past Employment History
17ling has had a long history of performing odd jobs prior to CRAB.
She worked as a lifeguard, but was terminated after having intercourse with married men with children on the clock. She also ended a life instead of guarding it. She also worked as a sexy car wash attendant who primarily rubbed up against cars and lightly washed them with a sponge. Similarly, she had sex with married men with kids while working.
This husband banging prowess manifested nicely in her career as a Christmas hooker; which is a hooker that fathers hire to do Santa Claus duties for their kids, then perform sexual acts on the fathers afterward. During this job, she met eventual Crab 5 competitor Cali after accidentally being summoned to her machine. Presently she is a terrorist and wine critic.
Adaptable to changing tech, 17ling worked as a DoorDash delivery driver, but was fired for giving customers sloppy seconds and poisoning several customers with her toxic discharge. She also had a stable gig as the person who plays the games really badly in mobile game advertisements. She started wearing gloves for this job because women watching the ads would recognize her hands as belonging to the woman who, yes, had sex with their husbands.
