I got a picture of John Cena and just made some small color changes and replaced his head with an AK-47. |
This is very simple. They're humans with a gun instead of a head and their skin color matches the colors of their gun that replaces their head. Their source of sight is from their scope or flash light on the bottom of their Gun Head.
History
Lead Faces were once regular male humans and they have existed during the beginning of mankind. There's a 1 in 1 million chance that a human in their 20's or early 30's get's randomly teleported between the dimensions of guns and the material plane, causing their bodies to become melded with a random gun, and then they get returned to their home planet, although 99% of the time they get sent to a mountain range instead of their actual house. It is unknown how and when this occurs, but the end result is quite amusing.
Society
Lead Faces act like normal humans, except for the fact that they have a gun instead of a head. They retain the ability to communicate, along with their mental capacities being kept intact. They do however lose the ability to feel sadness.
Lead Face Names
Lead Face keep the same names that they had before they were transformed.
Male: Jack, George, Conner, John, Jhoon
