Good. Now I can tell him to shut up.

Living, in their case, does not mean "organic".

In fact, I think it's a pretty neat idea. A WF that wants to see what it's like to be a fleshy covers himself in symbionts to simulate the experience, not realizing that that's not quite how being a fleshy works. People react in disgust to him, which is severely confusing to him. Add on to that the madness slowly seeping into his psyche from prolonged contact with Xoriat-spawn, and you have a pretty good set-up for a character. Make him a warlock or a sorcerer or a psychic warrior or something and you're ready to go.

EDIT: All of this ignoring any "DM fiat" type arguments, which I figure go without saying.
