Appearance[]
Men take a humanoid form, with a white metallic body and a black flame-like head. Their heads look similar to the Haircuts they spawn. Their appearances can vary slightly, with the color of their heads being different depending on what their Shared Status is.
Abilities[]
Men can summon Haircuts, which are a form of seeker missile. They search for Red, and explode on contact doing lots of damage.
Unlike most other forms of the Process, Men do not receive version upgrades. Instead they have a small variety of different abilities they may have, which they can share with other Men in the same battle. When multiple Men appear in the same fight, you can see something called "Shared Status" on the Turn screen. This can be any one of the following abilities:
- Shared Status: Stealthy (This Man is Masked.)
- Shared Status: Speedy (This Man Jaunts very quickly).
- Shared Status: Shooty (This Man shoots beams at long range.)
- Shared Status: Sturdy (This Man quickly regenerates health.)
While any one Man is still alive, the rest of the Men in that fight share that ability.
Trivia[]

- The different types of Men also have distinct internal names, with Stealthy Men being referred to as "HaunterCloaker", Speedy Men being "HaunterMover", Shooty Men being "HaunterShooter", and Sturdy Men being "HaunterHealer".
