A bulge at his back along his beltline which may be some sort of weapon, his footwear are sturdy, military style boots and his hair is kept quite long, covering his neck. There is the faint scent of acid that seems to be exuded from him, but it would be far too faint for a normal human to detect.</span></span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="color: #d4d4ff">Jay</span></span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="color: #d4d4ff">When you approach the massive, eight foot tall, african american youth, you see he is wearing an EPIC uniform. "No weapons allowed in operating rooms," he grunts. "So I took it off you. Didn't seem to notice at the time."
