Carapace (born Calvin Pace) stands approximately 6'2", and is built like a linebacker.  He is always conscious about where he is stepping, as it is not unusual for him to crash through some poorly constructed floor, or a deck built of unknowingly rotted timbers.  Puerto Rican by birth- but raised in California- his olive complexion is more olive than usual.  Upon closer inspection, you can see slight creases along the seams of his facial features, that almost resemble plates of armor, or the shell of some bug.

You would then notice that no other skin on his body was showing, even on a hot summer day, and you might begin to wonder...

Carapace is always clothed, with only his head and full, dark mane of hair not covered (and even that is in a cap more often than not).  He favors a black, long sleeve, cotton shirt, jeans, boots, gloves, and a Brown leather jacket.  If there is some group costume he will wear it, however begrudgingly.

When it is known that there is going to be trouble, Carapace carries a huge club.

His friends call him "Pace."
