...he just went home.

Name: ((Called)) Devil of the Crows
Race: Almost Human
Age: A Disposable Teen
Hair: Dyed Raven Black
Eyes: Bright Blue/Green, Just Like Heaven.
Occupation: Your Own Personal Jesus.

Appearance: Like something straight (Haha, straight) from the "Rocky Horror Picture Show," this smirking serpent comes slithering from the darkest regions of the human mind to skip across the stage of reality and give life its needed dose of the obscene. A pale white face gleams from underneath tassels of unkempt hair, brittle from just a few too many hair dyes (It's honestly too hard to pick one color). Like one of the beautiful people, this devil walks about in a lanky, lengthy, lurched body that seems natural for a well fed teen from Earth. And where would a respectable goth be without the clothes?

Picture him in ever changing outfits, never able to decide what is the most macabre and inappropriate to wear on an occasion. Hot Topic, while a lovely little store on its own, seems too pedestrian for the likes of He. Instead, he tries to blend the Victorian with the Abhorian; mixing and matching suit jackets and knee high, platform boots. God knows his undershirts could help feed a coastal village for weeks.


Personality: A most affirmed asshole with an asshole most firm, this despicable demonic specter follows his own set of morals that he makes sure contradicts even the most basic social rules. Leading a life that Glam rockers would masturbate pandas for, the creature does whatever he wants as he explores, both small and large, the hedonistic delights Althanas has to offer. And, despite the stereotype, he smiles quite a lot.


History: Few details are known about the creature, the goth, the devil; whatever name people want to call him. He is an enigma wrapped in a pleather and chain coating and smeared with eyeliner. What is known about him is that he's not from Althanas, not any known continent at least. His strange references, garb, and mannerisms are not in the least bit native and leave many to assume he is a demon from the nether regions (or as he puts it, Walmart.)

What's even more obvious is that he is not human, or not human enough. The way he moves, the way his eyes glitter in the twilight hours; it seems he lacks anything above basic human social abilities.


Abilities:
The Dark Trick: Pretense, along with clown make-up, is a goth's best friend. While still in his infantile stages when it comes to his power, the devil has the ability to mimic any voice he has heard in the past. Now, this isn't photo(or micro)graphic(phonic?), as he still needs to have some fresh idea as to what that person sounds like. And indeed, it does need to be a sentient being of some sort, as any metal head can make a pig squeal noise. He can only imitate one voice at a time, meaning there needs to be a few minutes between switching.
Just Like You Imagined: And where would a goth be but dancing the dangerous lines of Matrix plagiarisms? The creature has the ability to alter its own gravity. If he were to jump from a building, he could glide softly to the ground by holding his arms out like wings. He jumps a foot or two higher than any mortal and can even run up walls for a few seconds. Now, all of this is more aesthetics than actual combat ability (but ain't it freakin' cool?)
Night Vision Fondles: The creature can see as well in darkness as any human can in broad daylight.


Skills:
I know Kung-Fu!: While not an expert in any martial arts, or even schooled beyond poorly dubbed Asian movies, the goth has created for himself his own distinctive fighting style; combining aspects of street combat, agile quickness, and interpretive dance. He relies heavily on the element of surprise, and as soon as the enemy has an opportunity to counter, the devil must go on the defensive. He's really quite inept at combat on the hole, although he is fairly dangerous with high kicks backed up by steel-toed boots.


Weaknesses:
-Sunlight: At this point, the creature's eyes are too sensitive for exposure to sunlight. As such, he must wear sunglasses outdoors during the day. Otherwise, temporary blindness is an issue.


Items of Note:
-Besides a few scattered tux jackets and tailcoats, along with shredded French cuff shirts lined with fishnet and chains; or even the leather short and long pants, the only big items of note are:
*A Pair of long, black, knee high, steel toed-boots.
*A pair of square, Hot Topic-esque, sunglasses.
*A few packets of face power, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, mascara, and nail polish. Not worth much on Althanas, but priceless to He.
