Simon makes a sound that Akers can hear.Akers cannot attack in his hiding state, and will only exit his hiding state if any of the following conditions are met: In this hiding state, Akers will quietly stalk Simon throughout the Theta labs, only occasionally making sounds to hint of his presence, such as distant footsteps and groans. Unlike most other enemies, Akers has a special hiding state that activates whenever he's out of Simon's sight. He will also detect Simon automatically, no matter the circumstances, if he gets too close.

While Akers cannot see the light from Simon's flashlight, he can hear the sound of it turning on or off. If Simon runs, it will cause Akers to appear near him and start a chase. He moves to investigate disturbances throughout the labs Simon Jarrett can stay crouched in order to avoid alerting him, or throw objects to create distractions. His limbs are visibly deformed, and the scans found in the medical room reveal a twisted, misshapen skeletal structure.ĭespite his emaciated appearance, Akers is monstrously athletic and powerful, able to smash through heavy doors and to easily outrun and overpower Simon.Īkers is blind but has excellent hearing, much like the Proxies found elsewhere in Theta. Growths resembling a third arm and third foot protrude from his abdomen, and a single large gash cleaves through the front of his head and torso, making Akers appear vertically bisected (possibly it is a bisection by Nadine Masters, prior to his revival).
#BAROTRAUMA FANART SKIN#
Much of his body is encrusted in bulbous, cancerous growths (similar to a polycystic kidney) where his skin is visible at all, it is discolored and leathery. He is unusually humanoid for a WAU creation: he has arms, hand-like appendages, and a recognizable face with exposed eye sockets, though other features such as the nose and mouth have long since shrunken away. In SOMA, Akers is highly disfigured and eyeless.
