AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM
Name:
Deacon Prevost
Nicknames:
He's been called D-Bag, but the unfortunate soul who said it swallowed several of his own teeth shortly after.
Gender:
Male
Age:
Appears Mid 20s
Faction/Race:
Demons (Bakeneko)
Personality:
Deacon can be a kind, well-behaved and chivalrous gentleman. If he wants something from you. Or, simply if he is within view or earshot of a member of faculty. Underneath the facade, Deacon is a lying, cheating, completely inconsiderate jerk. He doesn't give a rat's tail about your troubles, unless helping you gets him ahead somehow. Every man for himself; Deacon's words to live scare by.
There is an exception to his rudeness, thank Jack. He does try to appear pleasing to the ladies. He’s a flirt all the way, sometimes in an all too forward manner. As far as a committed relationship goes… Don't get your hopes up. There are a lot of girls in Amityville, after all. A guy's gotta have options.
As far as the male students go, Deacon is careful to see who might be capable of tearing him a new one before he wags his tongue too ignorantly arrogantly. If the guy has some impressive talents - or better, any quality that reminds Deacon of himself - they might just have a new ally. For how long? That's always up in the air, most likely destined to change at the worst possible moment. Watch your back, or he might just be the one plunging a knife into it.
The only sincerely respected people in the Academy are the professors. Deacon might be full of himself, but he’s no fool. These are the creatures that will truly help him in his goal to rise to the top. Not to say he probably won't have his share of detention, because it's so very irresistible to add just a pinch of a reactive chemical into that potion assignment of yours. While the staff might be free from harmful torment, the students are unfortunately free game.
Likes:
Women! Being better than you at absolutely anything. Sweet food, especially dairy and most baked goods. Spending time alone in his dorm, typically plotting against a fellow student. Keeping well groomed; Deacon wants to look the best as well. Harassing others in various ways. Covering his tracks for the more brutal pranks, or framing someone else who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Deacon also enjoys long, moonlit walks through the pumpkin patch and the calming melodies of classical music.
Dislikes:
You, must likely. People who don't know when to shut up. "Rigged" competitions that he can't win. Cute, fluffy things; unless accompanied by a terrible attitude and sharp teeth. People too much like him, for fear of being outdone. Or worse, fall victim to another person's bad deeds. He also hates spicy food with a vengeance. Any student who likes the stuff would do well to sit somewhat close to him during meal time, they're likely to get his share.
Why did they enroll at the academy?
His father suggested he enroll in order to get him out of the house discover his FEAR abilities and be properly educated in the ways of scaring. Deacon would never protest to the chance of becoming stronger, so there was no argument. Besides, if he did well, he could finally set foot into the human world. They would surely be all sorts of fun to torment.
Fear:
Deacon relies most on natural abilities when it comes to fighting, but he has been toying with magic. With any use of magic, Deacon expends energy. The more complicated or forceful he tries to be - or with frequency of use - the faster he exhausts himself. Too much use and the attempts will become completely fruitless; no half-able here, he just can or can't. He still weakens even if he tries with no result, with further attempts bringing higher risk of him passing out.
[OOC Note: Elemental magic for his FEAR is my way of keeping one of the power-related aspects of Deacon similar to how he was originally created.]
Natural Ability:
While his natural form is humanoid, where transformation is permitted, Deacon may shift into a domestic cat. He takes the form of a ginger-colored tabby, normal in terms of appearance to the human eye. Usually he will walk or run on four legs; four is much faster than two, after all. He can, however, stand or move about only using his hind legs. This is a typical trait of his species. The ability of transformation is most useful if Deacon wishes to move though small spaces that his humanoid form would not be able to fit into. He could also use it to spy or generally remain out of sight in such a small form. Deacon is pretty bummed that he can't use this ability to sneak into the FEAR-Leaders' locker room...
FEAR Abilitiy:
Earth magic is a personal favorite of Deacon's. He hopes to become stronger with it, and one day master the element. At current, he can cause small tremors by concentrating on the magic while walking, running or stomping his feet. At the least it can startle someone with a sound and rumble similar to a sonic boom, at worst it might knock small or generally light objects off of shelves, tables or walls. It's really meant to distract, though if you happen to be close to something that ends up falling it's an added bonus for him.
