AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM Name: Delugian de Vagari
Nicknames: Louis, D. His interweb handle is Deluge. Call him Lulu or Vag-anything at your own risk.
Gender: Male
Age: 17. Extremely young for a demon.
Faction/Race: Demon // Nightmare (Technological Failure: born of the collective human Fear that their ____ will stop working)
Personality:
No rest for the wicked
Louis doesn't sleep. No really. Sure, he gets to spend his nights on 666chan and marathoning House of the Living 4, but being a chronic insomniac has made him cranky and unpredictable, and he was never a particularly nice guy to begin with. Unable to take more than a catnap, he resorts to Red Bull-y and Haterade, ci-ghoul-ettes to take the edge off and lives in a basement with no windows so he never needs to know what time it is. He doesn't even own a catalarm. The resultant dark circles under his eyes are black enough to constitute Halloween subspace, and make it seem like he's always glaring intensely at something, but – yeah, okay, he's always glaring intensely at something.
GAME ON
Delugian’s reached the stage where he's no longer a die-hard shut-in, character-grinding 24/7 on MMOs (no, that does not stand for Massive Monster Orgy), but there's still nothing he enjoys more than a good game. He never goes anywhere without his Gameboil, which he keeps strapped to his leg. He's not as attached to his old ScareStation 2 (it's getting loud and glitchy despite constant overhauls) but it doesn't fight with his other consoles so he lets it follow him around like an infatuated Siren.
The flipside of being a hardcore gamer is that Louis is a competitive b*****d who not only likes to win but has to thoroughly annihilate you and your army in the process. Aaand – 'JACK you! You don't deploy berserker units from the back lines!' – he’s a tad obsessive.
NOTE: Very few people can touch Delugian's Gameboil and live to tell about it. It's like someone reaching into his chest and touching his heart.
Bloody Mary! My webcam's got an eyerus!
If it's got a plug, a screen and lots of teeth, Delugian will be able to fix it. He once performed emergency surgery on his Skintendo by welding it together with his HEXBox 616. He still has it lying around somewhere… though it's not quite the same. The point is, if something's eating up your Eee!-mail, provided Delugian didn't put it there, he’s your go-to guy. Not that he'd be doing you any favours. He doesn't care for elitists or the cravats and waistcoats of Gen HEX, but he's a demon through and through. If you're looking to buy some Malware, the doors always open. If you want something repaired, you'd better be packing some serious SPS.
Why should I?
With his blunt, unpretentious words and manner, most of the time Louis comes across as a rebellious, apathetic mean-ager. Yeah, he's sleep-deprived (read: half-crazy, half low tension, 'leave me alone I'm trying to conserve energy') but he's fine if you don't catch him on the wrong side of the bed, so to speak. Though he isn't lazy in all matters, he also isn't ambitious. He knows his strengths but won't bother to apply them – the aggravating kind of boil who never hands in homework but aces tests. Shrewd and resourceful due to his various gaming exploits and addiction to tactical RPGs (and he's not uninformed about proper demon etiquette, though he rarely uses it) it’s convenient for him to be considered average, or even a useful social leper, as he has little patience for idiots, zero interest in politics and doesn't want to be picking up any unwanted attention. He’s not impressed by your minions, though he may be by your home-skinema. And he doesn't have friends – IRL anyway – he has associates and people who bring takeout.
Standoffish/abrasive, critical, walking timebomb-esque and a perpetual grump.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?:
His mare, Deliria, a high-flying Demoness of Olde who isn't convinced her son is going to make anything of himself by sitting around in the dark. Louis hasn't tried to convince her he can wreak plenty of havoc as long as he has his PreCee. Once a whimsy flies into her head, that's the end of it – she also thinks he needs to eat more, when in fact he consumes Eye Scream and Jollymeals in alarming volumes.
Natural Ability: Glitch. Louis can shapeshift into a spectral black horse, his original Nightmare form. Composed of wispy matter, it is normally used to infiltrate dreams. As a subspecies of Nightmare, Delugian's allows him to infiltrate Skelectronic devices and rearrange the data he finds within.
FEAR: Re-animation. Eventually, Louis will be able to command a battalion of doomboxes, eyePods, wreckorders and other appliances, and have them combine into one creature that will do his bidding. For now, he can control something the size of a toast-her, but the range and response is limited.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Darkish grey-purple
Hair Colour/Style: Shoulder-length, white with black streaks and highlights (or is it the other way around?)
Skin Colour: Pale from lack of sun, deep shadows beneath the eyes
Clothing Style/Colours: Very modern, hipster fashion sense. He likes black, purple and skulls, and his favourite item is a hoodie that bulges a bit over his horns (black, shape is up to the artist, though he's been told they’re bewitchin'). Chains, earrings and dodgy footwear are a go, especially eyeball sneakers.
