Height: 134 cm = 4'5"
Body Type: He has a thin, short child's body.
Of what School of Magic are you?: Necro.
Powers:
Vlad is a tiny ghost who leads Necro, and majority of his skills are not spells of any sort - in general he works like a medic. Vlad has also had some time to read after his death, and the boy has read a lot about history and religions.
He is not willing to engage in battles at all.
- ⚜ Ghost; (Permanent form) 1) Form: Physical contact is not possible for him. This is also his weakness. 2) Movement: He can walk through walls and go pretty much anywhere. There are rare exceptions, for example sealed shrines and such. Small-scale teleportation is possible too. 3) Communication: He sees and experiences both - the spiritual and the physical - worlds at the same time. This means that he is able to communicate and even ask help or advice from other spirits. 4) Possession: As a ghost, Vlad is technically able to push one's soul aside for a while and posses his/her body. However, he usually needs a permission to do this, and he does not like this skill anyways. 5) Etc.
- ⚜ Mortui vivos docent; (Main function: Healing) Vlad reaches out and touches your heart - quite literally. He indeed can put his little ghost hands through your flesh and touches your insides. The process will feel uncomfortable, but it causes no harm. This way he can perform an operation on your spirit, and polish a few scratches from it. Many different effects can be gained by performing these operations. For example: The subject might suddenly heal from physical wounds, be cured from diseases, cheer up, feel suddenly more energetic or use his/her powers and abilities better for a while.
- ⚜ Aequat omnis cinis; (Main function: Distraction) He is able to re-animate any kinds of currently dead things - such as plain items, dead plants, animals and even humans. He is able to perform this on only previously living things (such as corpses and dead plants). The reanimated beings usually do what they did in life before returning back to their usual lifeless state. They aren't helping much, so Vlad performs this skill mainly for his own entertainment.
- ⚜ Amor vincit omnia; (Main function: Support) The ability to try to summon a spirit, especially if it is that of an loved one. Spirits have a free will though, and you cannot force them. However, he can try to at least to call them or say something. Vlad believes that everyone and everything is connected. He can communicate with them even when they are too far to be reached by normal words. He needs to know who he is looking for, though.
- ⚜ Memento vivere; (Main function: Support) (Advanced) Vlad is able to truly bring someone/something back to life, and not just as moving puppets, either. (E.g. Dead characters can be resurrected and the players can keep using them again.) He cannot do this against the soul's will. The bond of the subject's soul will be re-attached to the body. Once the operation is complete, the subject's body remains technically dead, making them an undead being of a some sort (unless someone also heals the body from that state).
- ⚜ Memento mori; (Main function: Distraction) Vlad causes someone to go through the same painful experience that caused a dead spirit to die. It is a lot like an illusion or a dream, but a very real one. It is often painful and takes a lot of time, so it certainly gives a chance to flee. The physical wounds can be felt during the experience, but they will disappear afterwards. He needs to touch the target to cast this.
- ⚜ Dum spiro, spero; (Main function: Support) (Advanced) One last wish. In a situation where someone's life is in serious danger or in a major turning point, Vlad can (try to) make their soul's deepest wish come true by praying for them and/or performing other rites. It is up to the wisher to decide what their deepest wish might be, and Vlad cannot change that. He is also unable to use this on himself.
Weaknesses:
He is a peaceful ghost, so according to him that is why he cannot touch living beings. Even if he could, he still would have only as much strength as a completely normal 12-year-old kid. That alone makes him rather weak physically. Vlad also doesn't start fights or even engage in combat, as mentioned earlier.
- ⚜ A Child's Body; Even if he could touch someone, his physique is that of a child. His physical strenght and moving speed are also those of an child.
- ⚜ A Child's Mind; Vlad still has the innocent mind of a child and can be easily tricked.
- ⚜ Unarmed; He has no weapons or anything sharp and harmful.
- ⚜ Fears and exorcism; Every ghost can be repelled temporarily. Charms, prayers, exorcism or cats might frighten Vlad away.
Weapons and Equipment: None.
Personality:
Vlad was - and still is - a rather curious and polite child. Fortunately he is also kind and gentle, even though he can be very shy. He is genuinely interested in others, but feels that he is a bit too awkward so he is afraid to talk to others. His personality does not suit the work of a medic, because not only is he very shy, but he can also be too emphatic towards others and he does not handle the pain and suffering of others very well.
Vlad also tries to stay outside all sorts of arguments. He prefers to stay neutral and take the role of an peace-maker, if possible. One of his biggest fears is that his rather modest dreams are still too much to ask for and he is never able to reach them. Vlad fails to understand how adult jobs and responsibilities work, so he often wanders of to do whatever he wants to do instead of doing what he should do. He can be rather lazy, in fact.
- ⚜ Daydreaming; He is not always paying much attention, if he is daydreaming again.
- ⚜ Manners; Vladdy is polite, as previously mentioned.
- ⚜ Toys, games and songs; The usual free time activities of kids of his era. He enjoys many sorts of toys and games, especially the ones that require a bit of intelligence.
- ⚜ Job; He is not very keen on teaching. Vlad might forget his lessons and just wander off to do something that interests kids a bit more.
History:
After his death he felt rather lost. Anyone would, and he was after all just a kid all alone as a ghost that no one could see. He wanted to know what happened and why, but no one answered. No one had ever explained "death" to him when he was still alive, so he had to find out about it by himself.

⚜ Appearance: Vlad has a quite light blonde hair. The hairstyle is rather long, and tied from the back. His eyes are bright green, and his skin is sickly pale, since he is dead and all that. Vlad is also always wearing the same outfit, since he doesn't have much choice in his current state.
