AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM
Name: Xavier Hollow
Nicknames: Nope
Gender: Male
Age: Looks about seventeen or eighteen.
Faction: Demon
Race: Raum.
"Raums are fortune-telling birds of lore, crows specifically. It is rumored the most FAMOUS Raum was the enigmatic crow in Edgar Allen Poe's poem "Nevermore". While they can take on a contemporary humanoid shape, their natural state is that of a crow, and their preferred surroundings are battlefields because of the large amount of free food lying about."
Natural Ability: Flock of Ravens: Rather than shifting into just one raven, Xavier can shift into a small flock of them. When one is killed, it simply regenerates upon next shift, but if all are killed, then he is entirely dissipated.
Personality: For a demon, Xavier is morose, mopey, and altogether much too negative for his own good. He's got a habit of seeing the worst in every situation (even if there isn't a worst, somehow he'll find it), and he drags himself around like it's the end of the world and there's nothing to be done about that.
Xavier is quiet, sometimes sullen, and never fails in his ability to state the obvious. Sometimes he'll make comments that would make anyone go "uh duh" but considering those comments are usually spoken without a shred of emotion in them, it's really very awkward. He doesn't show a lot of emotion - meaning he doesn't weep or wail or gnash his teeth or rage at the world, despite being kind of a downer. Xavier has accepted that a) the world sucks, and b) there's nothing to be done about that so he might as well just accept it as it is.
Awkward teenager is awkward. He doesn't do well in social situations, mostly because he's that strange kid who can't communicate well, says everything with a straight, blank face, states not only the obvious, but also the "obvious-but-should-not-be-said-because-it's-probably-offensive" (i.e. stuff like "that dress makes your face look poofy). He doesn't do it because he's mean or he's teasing, he's just telling the truth.
Really, he has no idea how to make friends - not that he doesn't want them, he just doesn't know how to get them. Xavier was one of those kids who was always holed up in his room reading or observing rather than taking part. He comes from a demon family, of course, which is normally a very proud race, and he comes from a very high class family - but none of the family members are "high class." As far as high class goes, they are wealthy and their name is a proud one, but Xavier's parents are the "black sheep" of the Hollow family line because of Xavier's lack of proper social upbringing and his parents geniality and non-biased friendships with other races.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? A parental thing. Xavier's parents felt he was "too much of a loner and needed stimulants." Aka "go out and make nice with the other kids, dear, and quit holing up in your room so much."
FEAR Ability: Delusions of Grandeur - Xavier distracts his opponent with illusions of their most desired (he can't see it or know what it is that they're seeing, since it's specific to their minds). This doesn't last very long, but it gives him enough time to get his bearings. (The Mind)
