Name: Shiloh Dupree
Nickname: Shi (his parents, and by his parents only)
Age: Looks about 32, but is probably closer to 21.
Birthday: March 7
Species: Sin-eater with roots to busaw
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Asexual
Nationality: English by birth, but raised dominantly in Austria and Belgium
Eye color: Olive green
Hair color: Blonde
Skin tone: Very lightly tanned
Height: About 6'2"
Weight: 168 lbs
Body build: Amazingly slender considering how much he eats whenever he does
Talents: He has a remarkable capacity for languages. Oh, and he can devour a fully grown man's dead body in under a minute.
Flaws/Disabilities: It takes a lot of self-control to keep Shiloh from eating whenever he's awake since he's still so young, so he has to physically and mentally prepare himself to starve the whole day, holding off until his nightly trip to the graveyard. However, since it takes a while to create such a hold on his desires, if he isn't mentally ready, it's decently easy to surprise him and take advantage of his hunger.
Class: French and tutors after school for several other foreign languages, including Latin, German and Spanish
Secrets: He can't swim. He's really defensive about it.
Powers: Sin-eating - It's not really a power, more of an ability. Shiloh enters a house and is offered a meal to either be eaten on top of the living body of the person whose sins he's eating or including the flesh and blood of the deceased sinner's, and he can eat all the sins of the person. He knows all that they've done, all the wrong they did, and devours it all. He can even do it on a grander scale, once clearing a whole town of their sins, and he's still young.
Death-sense - Due to being distantly busaw, Shiloh eats dead bodies more often than not. He can eat human food, but mostly prefers human corpses. Of course, he's a bit of a snob and enjoys the freshly dead, and has the ability to sense when death occurs. It's not a future-sight thing, more like super-hearing, as he can hear the sound of the soul leaving the body.

Likes: Apples
Musicals (especially like Sound of Music or West Side Story)
Keeping to himself
Playing the piano whenever he's completely by himself (He's not the best, but he still likes it)
Eating whenever he can
Murderers (Their sins taste the best)

Dislikes: Having to wait to eat
People forgetting that he's there
People knowing that he's there
Rude people (They don't taste good)
Anyone named Arthur (They're usually total jerks)

Fears: Large bodies of water.
Losing his control.
Oh, and losing his parents. He may seem cold and collected, but he does genuinely like them.

Personality: Shiloh is very quiet most of the time. Even when he's teaching in class, he never raises his voice and rarely loses his temper. It's not that he's introverted or anything like that. He just prefers to remain calm and collected at all times, as it makes it easier to deal with situations with a clear mind. His age, which he doesn't really keep track of, doesn't affect his state of mind, and he seems to act much more mature that most others his age. With his superiors and his parents, Shiloh is very respectful and obedient. In fact, he's well known for being obedient to his superiors, and will do whatever is asked of him, no matter the order.
Despite his level-headedness, Shiloh does lose his cool when he's near large bodies of water, since he can't swim.

Bio: Born to two sin-eaters in a tiny town in Northern England, Shiloh is what can be called a purebred. He's an only child, which he always assumed was because sin-eaters can only ever have one child at a time in an attempt for their genes to remain both pure and rare, but he never really cared about it. At an early age, Shiloh didn't have many friends, preferring to play by himself and contemplate his existence. He was raised in both of his parent's home countries of Belgium and Austria, specially tutored until he reached college age. He learned how to hone his ability, how to control his hunger, and how to blend in with the human populace. Around the time he turned thirteen, Shiloh requested a transfer to a public school, only for his parents to refuse. When he questioned their answer, he received an answer he wasn't expecting.
He wouldn't be able to fit into the crowd of young teens since he already looked like an adult.
It turns out that sin-eaters tend to age faster until they reached the age of 21, during which they finally slow down the aging process and look that way until the day they die. It all depends on their families and how fast the parents aged. It made the one year he was able to go to a normal school, his last year of high school at a Catholic boarding school in Austria, strange when he had to work to make himself look younger. Thankfully, Shiloh has just turned 21 and looks only to be in his thirties, a face he will wear until he died. He decided not to carry on the family business of eating the sins of their town and carried on to college in his birth country of England, earning his teaching degree and immediately finding a new job at an academy and taking the position of French teacher and foreign language tutor. He was rather popular during his only year in normal school and in college, since he's smart, good-looking and polite, but still isn't used to human companionship, keeping to himself the entire time he moved to Black Rose
