Name: Lance
Age: 25 (He looks like he's 18~19)
Species: Blood Wyvern shifter, specifically a created one.
Species abilities: he does need to drink blood but it can be any kind. Shadow manipulation (including ‘teleporting’ to another shadow), great eyesight in the dark, and heightened sense of smell (especially with blood), regeneration, healing saliva, super reflexes and speed. Most of these abilities won’t work if he’s ‘thirsty’ (Really only the saliva thing and passive abilities work. Regen slows down everything else doesn't work well) While shifted he can use Shadow Fire (cold burn).
Appearance: He’s 5’8. He’s got grey eyes normally, but when ‘thirsty’, ‘feeding’, or irritated they become a vivid red with slits. His fangs are also not visible all the time. He is unnaturally pale. Lance's got dark brown hair that he keeps short. He has claws while in his human form that can slide out in a cat like fashion. He tends to wear dark colored clothes and is a that one dude that will wear a trench coat every where. He also likes fingerless gloves so that he's never without a weapon.
When shifted:
I drew that by the way.
Personality: Lance is usually a nice fellow, a little on the charismatic side, however when he gets ‘thirsty’ his personality changes dramatically too that of a bloodthirsty monster. He tries his best to prevent this from happening since he hates this part of himself.
Backstory: Lance used to be a normal person, until one day when he was 18. That was the day a Blood Wyvern attacked his village. It brutally killed both of his parents right in front of him and for whatever reason decided to spare him and turn him into a Blood Wyvern instead. Lance is quite understandably haunted by this and often has nightmares about it.
Theme song: Manor, Weeping Depths, New World, and opening from the fan game Pokemon Desolation. Honestly any slightly creepy song works.
Other:
-Call him a vampire and you'll be in for a calm yet firm explanation of the difference between the two.
-Prefers to stay in human form most of the time
-If you shine a light at his eyes, they'll reflect it like a cat's eyes do
-Will eat and drink like a normal person, he doesn’t need to necessarily but it makes him feel like less of a monster to do this.
-Has extreme pyrophobia
-Mostly nocturnal, but will do things during the day so long as it’s not the morning.
-Flightless, but can climb most surfaces with gecko like feet and can glide for extended periods of time.
Some notes on blood wyverns I did a while back: There are two kinds of Blood Wyvern, natural and created. Natural BW's tend to be more aggressive and feral minded. Natural ones are capable of reproducing and creating more naturals. A created BW is when a BW for whatever reason decides to spare its victim and instead have them ingest some of its blood.
Created BW's tend to keep most of their original personality and are far less aggressive. However, created BW's often face persecution due to the behavior of a natural BW. Created ones often like taking the form of their original species and engaging in activities they did before getting turned. This also includes eating and drinking normal things as it doesn't hurt or have any negative effects on a BW to do so.
BW's all kinda hate being called vampires since, after all, would you like it if someone got your species wrong? There are some similarities between BW's and vampires, such as "immortality" and a detrimental weakness to fire. However, BW's merely get sunburned easily as opposed to the sun killing them. BW's are also less susceptible to holy things (i.e their reaction to it is similar to spraying a cat with water), perhaps a weakness to having their hearts pierced? BW's have a breath weapon, though they rarely use it. That's a pure stream of shadowy fire that's cold to the skin and burns like hell.
Lemme know if I need to change anything!
