Item Description: This is the polished skull of a long dead Unathi. Great horns adorn either side of it, however, one of them is cracked off. In the rare instance it isn't lodged firmly in the gestalt it belongs to, it is bagged and tied up into the cowl that houses it. Why is your character bringing this item to work?: The short of it is that it is that the gestalt considers it to be a part of it's body. How did your character obtain this item?: The Dionae gestalt was originally the limb prosthetic of a travelling Th'akh medicine man and shaman. During a bad run in the wasteland, the Shaman is mortally wounded, and he promptly sacrifices his body to the gestalt so it can carry out his mission to help a village ravaged by plague. The bones of the Shaman are interred within the gestalt, and it clings to them for structure and form. What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: The bones, and by extension this custom item, help visually describe the unique predicament the gestalt is in: That it has been fused together with another being for so long, it's gestalt mind has perceived itself as it as an extension of that being, and that being an extension of itself. The fact that it was given blood, memories, and feedback from the Unathi's nervous system for so long only exacerbates the issue. When the gestalt clings to the skeleton, and the skull, it is basically holding to what it believes is a part of it's body.
