AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLMENT FORM Name: Ichr (it's kind of like saying "ichor" with a full mouth!) Nicknames: Ich/Ick; occasionally "Ichrias" is used as a more sophisticated name. Gender: Male Age: 15
Faction/Race monster
Personality: Ichr is very eager to please. He goes through phases of sorts, oftentimes ganking bits and pieces of personalities, hobbies, likes, and dislikes of friends and peers that he admires. Like his goblin kindred, he has a bit of a hoarding problem, but it isn't necessarily material things that catch his eye. His blatant thievery of parts-of-other-students isn't a conscious compulsion, but he takes pride in it in the sense that he enjoys showing off these "similarities". On the material side, he has a strange infatuation with fungus for no reason that he can explain. But he's not particularly good at explaining anything anyway, so this is unsurprising.
He feels the need to compensate because of his tendency to say things that are a little off-color - much like his physical appearance, half of his conversation might be completely normal, and the other half a little...strange. When not influenced by anyone with whom he is currently enamored, he's generally friendly. He's a lot like the kindergartener who wants to be best pals with everyone, but eats the paste, puts crayon bits in his ears, and is rumored to eat boogers (and that's just icky).
Ichr is an extremely dependent personality, and feels like he's lacking when he isn't close to someone.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? As previously stated, Ichr likes to impress. He didn't think that he could do it by himself - and he was probably right - so he's here for fine-tuning his abilities and making connections.
FEAR: Despite seemingly lacking any sort of originality whatsoever, he can create and manipulate from the shadow-gunk that covers parts of his body. Grotesque creatures, worms, creepy-crawlies, and other miscellaneous horrors can emerge from the shadows, or he can use it like a putty to make little scaries on his own. Everything that comes from the shadow-gunk is a little off: anything that has a basis in reality (like the bugs or worms) seem too unreal, and anything he creates is unsettling, but a little unbelievable.
Ichr can use the creations during their short existence to attack opponents. They are at optimal usability if he plucks them directly from the shadow to toss at his foe; currently, letting them walk over takes too much of their energy, and they disintegrate before they are able to do any real damage.
He can snatch up one of the shadow-creatures the instant it emerges, at which point it is just physical enough to go sailing through the air when tossed. It then attaches to his opponent like an especially yucky spitball. Once it comes into contact with flesh (or whatever semblance of flesh his opponent might have), it reduces movement speed and reaction time by enveloping its victim with miserable, unsettling, or otherwise undesirable feelings.
And that makes it easier for him to punch his opponent in the face with his gobliny brute strength.
This is slightly less effective to the undead - Ichr isn't smart enough to figure out why, but it might have something to do with the fact that "they aren't...you know...really living and stuff". (If he had to guess.)
*a few notes about this: I kind of consider it like a constantly shifting, mutating "defect" (to normal goblins, it would definitely be a yucky problem, but he can work it in as a monstery advantage), similar to the way rust or corrosion would take over metal or batteries. The shadows are inky, drippy; possibly corrosive to certain obscure materials, if that fits in this world? Because of its almost corrosive, volatile nature, anything that comes from it is weak. The things can evoke nasty feelings or memories, but waste away before they are able to cause any real harm.
Physical Description: Eye Colour: Left eye is glowing yellow; right eye is catlike (can be any color, really~) Hair Colour/Style: Messy, perhaps even with bits and pieces of things tangled into it. It's black, and the coloring resembles a crow's feathers or the iridescent shine of oil. Skin Colour: Mostly a dull, desaturated green, excepting the 'corrupted' parts, which are black as shadows. Clothing Style/Colours: I really don't have much of a preference as long as it isn't omg-gothy or too modern; I know it's a weird sort of concept, but maybe a monstery male shabby chic style? Like he's just collected it from various places, not really much of a style of his own. Extra: The left side of his face, including his ear, his left arm (mid-chest to fingertips), right leg from hip to knee, and his tail are all covered in a weird shadow-ooze. Bits of it are almost sentient, tiny creature-limbs poke out in places (generally on his ear and tail).
He's taller than the stubby, more creature-like goblins, perhaps due to his mutations. This gives him a more proportionate humanoid appearance. However, he's still shorter than a human boy of his "age" would be.
References: x <- this one is VERY general, just has a similar concept; x <- this is more correct, but it's kind of a crappy scan so I apologize!
Will draw another one later. <3

With a certain fascinated dismay, Hellma watched as the Acceptance Bin got shadow goo all over her floor. While it was nice to get a truly monstrous student, did they have to always ruin her carpet? And this was just from the application! It had been such a lovely shade of fuchsia, yellow, and orange too.
"SNOWFLAKE!" She shouted, not even bothering to use the skellyphone. "HIRE ANOTHER JANITOR!"
...
"AND NOT ANOTHER IFRIT! THE SCORCH MARKS! THEY HAVE YET TO COME OUT!"
