AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Demetrius Recarous Tyrant
Nicknames: Rex
Gender: male
Age: 16

Faction: undead
Race: zombie raptor (more likely a deinynonychus than a velociraptor)

Natural Ability: Rex's slobber is made of acid, which he can either drool or spit over a distance (you probably would -not- like it if he licked you!)


Personality:

Rex is one of those undead that simply came into existence, likely thanks to nitemares about being chased by zombie dinosaurs. As such he has no family, which is fine with him, he likes it that way. As for his name? Well he made it up himself because he liked how it sounded.

Most of his early life was spent lurking in alleys and shadows, raiding trash cans and trying to scare anyone who's path he crossed. As he grew older, he became more bold, moving from trash cans to raiding restaurants, making of game of sneaking into kitchens and running off with food. He was no always successful in these endeavors, often being caught and chased off (after thrashing around and making a mess of whatever was in his path and likely taking a bite out of the door on the way out), but to him it was a game and being caught was all a part of that game.

Rex is far from the brightest crayon in the box, his solution to most every issue is to try to eat it. Homework he doesn't understand? Eat it. Someone trying to bull him? Bite and try to eat. Minipet annoying him? Eat it. And if he can't eat it? Then he will still try to bite it. And if that doesn't work? Well he'll do his best to look VERY THREATENING! before stalking/running away, probably with a passing snap of his jaws/bite along the way.

Yes, he is most definitely an eating machine and will eat most anything. His favorite meal being raw meat, preferably the kind that has been 'aged', aka rotting. However that does not mean he will not try to take a chunk out of a cow or eat your minipet! Want someone to eat your homework? Rex is your guy, just watch out you don't lose your pencil as well..or your hand. If he does eat something you would like back (like your hand or your minipet), hope he does not like the taste as he will immediately spit out anything he does not like (fruits and vegetables often fall into this category).

A favorite pass time involves scaring the piss out of whoever he can. He will often stalk a target, lurking in the shadows until he can strike, leaping out in all his toothy glory to send his target running down the hall (or at least make them jump a few feet). Any success at this is followed by his laughter, a creepy high pitched gurgling laughter that may or may not send shivers up your spine.

His other hobby (besides eating and scaring people) is skateboarding. How he picked up the habit is unknown (maybe he scared some kid away from their skateboard once and decided it would be fun to try himself) but it is one he enjoys greatly. Though unfortunately he has to replace his boards from time to time as he has a tendency to eat them.


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? He followed the scent of something delicious to the school grounds, and then decided to stay around out of curiosity (or maybe he just really liked the food)

FEAR Ability:
battle cry
Mega crunch - a powerful crunching bite



Physical Description:

Eye Colour: green
Hair Colour/Style: short and messy, bright red/orange
Skin Colour: brownish orange/red with dark tiger stripes
Clothing Style/Colours: cargo shorts, hoodie (hood down), vans skate sneakers. Note that Rex favors bright colors and dresses very scruffy (think skater punk)
Extra: dinosaur tail, very sharp teeth, maybe his large raptor claw would have torn through his shoes. Being a zombie he would certainly have places that show his decay, his tail may be nearly skeletal, he would probably have decay around his mouth as well and in various other places (bones showing etc).
He may or may not be holding a skateboard (or it could be at his feet), said skateboard may or may not have bite taken out of it.
Build: average height, slender build

References: n/a

notes: a future FEAR or natural ability will involve a paralyzing or disarming effect from his laughter

Crit for you, as requested~!

So! I love the species type. XD And I like how the species informs his behaviors (his biting reactions, running away etc.). I am stupidly amused by the idea of him trying to eat effectively half of Amityville as it progressively frustrates him more and more.

The thing is... his personality is a lot about what he does, but not so much about who he is. I know that he eats a lot, isn't very smart, likes biting things... I know little bits and pieces (and the details are good!) but I feel like right now there's a lot of details and not so much of an actual foundation.

Does he get frustrated (and thus move into EAT IT mode) easily? Does he dislike intellectual challenges, or do such things confuse or intrigue him? He's obviously a loner - how will he deal with forcibly being part of a group at Amityville? Did he have any friends before, maybe as part of a street gang? Does he like scaring people because it makes him feel powerful, because he has a mean streak, because he feels others deserve to suffer? Is he mean-spirited and bully-ish or just unintelligent and brutish because he doesn't know any better? Things like that! Tell me more about who Rex is, and less about what he does.

(Also, note that the above is somewhat nit-picky, I don't think he'd have trouble getting enrolled with the personality as it is, but since you requested crits that might be helpful for character growth!)

Also, randomly, the physical description makes me think - how does he feel about his 'human' form? Does he like it? Does he hate it? Does he want to bite his skull pin and run scaley and free through the halls? A few other things to consider, haha.

Good luck!

that you very much! Things for me to think about, oh yes, thank you for your help and ideas. I will have to think on these

Okay~
Nat ability- How acidic we talking? Dissolves organic, non organic? What might not it work on?

With history since all halloweeners are taken care of when they form if by pumpkin or other manners, why did he steal food? More then that, why was he never thrown into a foster family or a form of juvie? I can't image him stealing food from restaurants and never getting handed to boogies. It's fine to have no family, but its the never having been 'raised' and not getting legit punishment for stealing that is a bit ehhhhh. You could probably have it that he was in a zombie horde but as he was not a human zombie, often went and did his own thing. The horde providing mostly a home and whatnot.

Personality wise I'm going to echo sosi here because I think while there are some personality traits, its still a majority of what he does/in vs who he is. Expand into how he acts with others and how traits might be good or bad for relationships and the like.

And while just a bit of curiosity, shouldn't he be a small student given then size of a velociraptor? |D

First off I have to say he sounds like a really adorable character! I like that hes a bit of a creeper and that he will omnomnomnom food stuffs.

I will echo what Vamps and Sosi wrote about the personality. I get a good sense of what he does but I don't feel I know him as well. Its great to have quirks like you have. I like that hes not so bright. You can do a lot of fun roleplays i'm sure !

Heres some random questions if you want to fill them out o u o I dont know.

* How does he feel about more human like students?

* How does he feel about competition ? What if some ones a better skateboarder? Is he bitter or is he to busy eating treats to care?

* How does he feel if a ghoul/boil has an open crush on him?

* How does he react to people bullying his friends? Does he care?

* How does he react to people bullying him?

* WOULD he be the one doing the bullying?

* How would he react if some one took the last of his favorite snack?

* How would he act around some one hes attracted to?

* How does he feel about other students who do have families? Does he feel misplaced or lost?

* How does he feel about the law? I imagine he may have had some run ins being a thief. (HIM AND CHARLIE WOULD BE BROS PROBABLY ID IMAGINE OH GOD)

* Is he ever ashamed of anything like grades or something? Does he feel shame? Or does he just not care?

* How does he deal with physical pain. Like a stubbed toe ect. Is he a baby or is he one to suck it in?

* Is he easily impressed or hard to impress?

* Are there some things that even he wouldn't touch eating wise?

* It seems like he does have boundaries seeing as he wouldn't eat another students minipets. So I assume he has a small honor code. What is the honor code?

* How does he deal with traumatic events?

* Does he like touchy feely types or hate?

* Is he one to hold a grudge or is he one to shrug it off and carry on?

I'm sure there are more that I could come up with but theres some questions to maybe help you out thinking about things. : ] I really like him he sounds like such a fun character !
