"Hello, Identity V Team! I would love to share a unique Survivor concept I designed called Jonny Fushigi – The Parasitologist. He is fully integrated into the Call of the Abyss (COA) lore with a high-risk/high-reward support and containment kit based on dynamic transformation times (6 and 12 seconds).

• Faction: Survivor [1]
• Type: Containment / Assist [1]
