Repurpose ! You nailed it right, that's the word I was looking for ;) As usual, their absorbed remains are converted into a single universal resource (the basis of all Selforge constructs), allowing their direct transmutation into any kind of useful gear and valuable supplies. This way even hopeless monsters can beautifully atone for their crimes and contribute post mortem to the greater good. Gotta love the karmic justice of it ^ ^

Lawrence is a very rational person, and fully aware that many bad guys have degenerated too much along the way, or were too ruthless from the start for conventional rehabilitation to work. They plainly don't give the slightest crap about other people, and so much selfishness cannot be fixed naturally, or at the very least it would require a ton of efforts and resources they don't remotely deserve.

Replication is a core aspect of Lawrence's abilities and he does mimicry all the time, although the templates used are almost always heavily modified to better serve their corresponding purpose. What he doesn't do is impersonation : he is no one but himself, though adventuring avatars typically use secondary identities to preserve the immersive experience and protect his comfy privacy.

His core personality was indeed inherited from the original human, whose merging with infused the amorphous shard of Prime Undefineness with sentient life, thus creating "Lawrence Selforge". Lawrence isn't the human, he isn't the shard either, he is a hybrid entity that possesses shades of both sides : the human personality of the first and the transcendent functionalities of the later.
