Characteristic

Physical appearance: many Insurer were a skinny, sick-pale-looking, zombie-ish humanoid creature wearing white shirts and tie and holding briefcase and papers. But some other also have different builds: muscular, fat, well-build. Detoriating by time, their hair was no longer as lush as they be, some of them already lose an eye (or maybe two), dislocated bones and joints on their body, and an absolute stench of a thick load of damp paper inside a damp storage.

Movement: The Insurer walks slow. But when they found their prey, they could move three times faster to approached them. Their advantage was located on their feet - years of waiting and running and chasing potential buyer could train their legs into somewhat magnificent level. Not forgot to mention, a lot of them are skinny. But for Insurer that already lost a leg or both, they can't do nothing except alerting nearby Insurer by shouting whenever they saw prey walking nearby or accidentally step on them.

Social: Insurers love to walks and roams alone. But sometimes you can meet them lurking alongside with fellow Insurer, maybe up to a group of 3 insurers. No longer be able to talk, they communicate to each other with groans and shouts.
