Faction/Race Undead / Cowboil Vampire

Personality:
Cowboil Vampire
Curious, how Zeke is a cowboil AND a vampire yet somehow ended up in Halloween. Did not remember a dang thing when he woke up, discovered he’s in a strange world with strange creatures. Aside from all that, he wiped his pale face with his cold hands and noticed a disfiguring scar awkwardly wrapped around his neck. Two puncture holes on his wrist, sharp fangs and pointed ears could only mean one thing… Then again, Zeke has a southern accent, which is odd for a vampire.

”A cowboil never betrays a trust.” (Loyal) [ + ]
Zeke is very loyal to his buddies. He has respect for them, and shows it! He is very firm about his support, and takes his friends’ side no matter the situation. Whether they are making a bad choice or a good one, Zeke is there to follow along and stand by whenever they need him. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. Simple as that… Unless it’s life threatening, then he’ll throw his hands up and walks away.

”Good things happen to those who wait.” (Patient/Persistent) [ + ]
Zeke likes to take things slow, and isn't afraid to wait for results. Why rush things if they could burn up in your face? He believes hard work takes time, and that hard work usually rewards him with something better. Zeke's pretty optimistic about it too, rather.

”Say what you mean, and mean you say.” (Genuine) [ + ]
Sincere and means what he says. Zeke isn't a guy for much words, but when the little things he does say, he truly means it. Whether it's a nice comment or not, at least he's being honest.

”Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none..” (Laidback/Minds his own business) [ = / - ]
Zeke is very laid back and easy going. If he can do practically nothing, he would. Say, someone is having a fight? Zeke couldn’t care less. He might even find it entertaining if anything. If the situation has nothing to do with him, he would sit back and watch or just walk away from it. He has a very why-bother-if-I’m-not-involved mentality. Put him in a situation where his friends are arguing, he might say a few words, but that is pretty much the extent of his concern. However, when it is about him, he will put up a fight and ready to defend himself. OR if it concerned minipets or a damsel in distress, he'll happy to help.

”Learn to speak kind words, nobody resents them.” (Self-conscious) [ - ]
Just ‘cause he don’t have good English, don’t mean he ain’t smart. Zeke is self-conscious, however, about his speech. He believes people judge him too quickly by how he talks rather than getting to know him. As a result, he ends up saying very few words. Although, sometimes he catches himself talking under his breath. When he does not think before he talks, he says what he is thinking.Zeke feels good about himself and is quite confident as long as he regularly feasts. However, when he goes hungry, he feels inadequate and ugly, and then hides away until he finally drinks vast amounts of blood.

Likes: Playing with shadows by oil lamp, napping, doing nothing, fun times, the smell of leather, non-scented candles, dogs, and ponies

Dislikes: The sunlight, garlic, stakes that are anywhere near or around his chest cavity, extremely strong smells (perfumes, sewage, burnt hair, etc)

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
For the sake of being educated and receive a proper education. Zeke feels the need to learn something, or else he feel inadequate and hates to be called half-wit for it. Like everyone else, he wants a passport to the human world, mostly to acquire delicate delights from his unsuspecting human victims.

Shadow Craft 101
Seemed like an easy choice. If this class is what Zeke expected, he's hoping to learn more about it and somehow apply it to his special ability.

Stealth 1
Melting himself into shadows can be to his advantage, but if he does it at the wrong time, he has set himself up for a disadvantage then. Perhaps taking this class can teach him how to do it right.

N.A.P. Club
This club screams Zeke's name! This lazy b*****d wouldn't love anything more.

Natural Ability:
Bloodlust: Vampires can go into a berserker rage, lowering their general inhibitions for a tradeoff in strength and agility. When Zeke is hungry for blood, HE'S F-ING HUNGRY FOR BLOOD! He'll go out on a rampage looking for the next victim to nom nom on. (Horses, owls and even rats!) When his blood lust is over, small animal corpses would most likely surround him.

FEAR:
Shadow Play: Zeke is able to melt himself into shadows and out of sight once per battle. A harmless FEAR ability, but it can help his evasion and can take the upper hand of surprise. He can expand and flatten himself into a shadow-like darkness, and move along inside shadows. he cannot move from shadow to shadow if his shadows are not connected to another. If there are no shadows, he cannot use his ability. He, also, cannot alter the shadows to any physical objects (yet).

Critiques and Questions:
Q = Question, A = Answer, C = Critique, R = Response

Personality:
Q. Loyal to a fault reminds of a real cowboy in a good way. Besides death is their anywhere else he would draw the line?
A. When I said he's loyal, he's REALLY loyal. He will stick by his friends no matter the situation. Though the only other thing he would draw the line, is if he is at risk to be kicked out of the Academy or lose his passport. I'm sure he doesn't want to drink rat blood for the rest of his undead life.

Q. I wonder if he is in a situation where he had to choose between his friend or go out when he is hungry. Which would he choose?
A. When he's hungry, he goes through a phase of Bloodlust (his natural ability) at which point he would lose himself in a berserker stage, unaware that he just ran off from his friends in search of blood.

C. I would think that if your a narcissistic you wouldn't be self-conscious. But it seems to work here because even though he is very sure of himself he is still overly self-conscious of himself when he is hungry.
R. A person CAN be narcissistic AND be self-conscious. Vampires need blood to replenish their "healthy appearance". If vampires go hungry for too long, they start showing signs of decomposition. In this case, he's narcissistic about his looks when he's eaten, and self-conscious when he is hungry.

FEAR:
Q. Interesting. What happens if somebody steps into his shadow? Must it be his shadow or will any shadow do? Does it take a lot of concentration? What happens when he faces a a shadow being?
A. Zeke can only "melt" into his own shadow, and emerge from his own shadow. So, if his own shadow is not touching another shadow, he cannot move himself to a different position. If his shadow is touching another shadow, only then can he shift himself to that said location. It does take a lot of concentration due to the fact that he hasn't been properly trained (first year). As for shadow beings, they are pretty much physical formed beings, so Zeke cannot shift and move himself onto them or anything of that sort. His FEAR ability is merely an evasion trick.

Q. In the future will he be able to shift into another persons shadow?
A. When he has the proper training, he should be able to use other beings' shadows, and eventually he'll be able to manipulate shadows to physical forms/objects.

Thanks for the crit trap!

He's a pretty boil mostly because of his vampire side, and less of his cowboil side. A person CAN be narcissistic AND be self-conscious. Vampires need blood to replenish their "healthy appearance". If vampires go hungry for too long, they start showing signs of decomposition. In this case, he's narcissistic about his looks when he's eaten, and self-conscious when he is hungry.

edit:: i forgot to answer the "what if they step on his shadow?" if someone steps on his shadow BEFORE he uses his ability, he cant use it. If the step on it WHILE he's using his ability, he cannot move and is forced to emerge

When he has the proper training, he should be able to use other beings' shadows, and eventually he'll be able to manipulate shadows to physical forms/objects.

YES! they can make lazy together LOL
