*...no lilypads for mommy, the jaws that dragged you down...*

{NAME}
Vertraum Ru

{ALIASES}
“Van,” “Traum,” and the username Taxonomicon on the interwebs.

{AGE}
Somewhere in his early to mid thirties, he's not especially clear on when his birthday is, nor does he really pay attention to the time of year for such purposes

{GENDER, SEXUALITY}
Male
Bisexual

{SPECIES/ETHNICITY}
Whole lotta question marks here. The majority of him speaks to being human, but there's telltale signs that this is not at all the case. He doesn’t have a word for what he is, and so kind of just shrugs the whole thing off.
Nationality is of the Cancer station, if you can peg one for him at all.

{HEIGHT/BUILD}
6’, slender build

{OCCUPATION}
Graveyard security guard for a pharmaceutical company’s distribution center.

{RESIDENCE}
Cancer Station

{PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION}
Tall, slim, with deceptively delicate wrist bones and angular shoulders, Traum looks like a strong breeze would be enough to blow him away. This is not the case, however, as while he looks like he's made of fine china, he is exceptionally fast and supernaturally strong.

His skin is pale, almost ashenly so, his veins hyper visible at his wrists, and coupled with white hair, lashes, and pale grey eyes, he's easily mistaken for a sickly ghost, especially after a lifetime of being on a space station.

He wears his hair long, pulling it back only for work, and outside of work tends to favor black cargo pants tucked into boots and grey or black t shirts. When he's not too tired to do so, he’ll paint his face up a bit, with smudgy dark eyeliner and mascara and a black stripe on his chin. Which doesn't help his complexion any.

He has a kind of permanent smoky odor, a combination of sage burning and pack-a-day chainsmoking, which has also left him with a surprisingly low and gravelly voice.

{PERSONALITY}
Caustic, brave, morbid, logical, cynical

CULT OF PERSONALITY
Vertraum was raised in a cult. And that's had about the effects one might expect. While he escaped the group at the tender age of sixteen by stowing away on a supply ship, remnants of his time with the group linger, as well as several emotional and psychological scars. He's hideously allergic to anything close to organized religion, and will be vicious about his opinions concerning such subjects.

DANSE MACABRE
Traum has a distinct fondness for creepy things; he likes to collect bones and skeletal decor, and his home kept apothecary has more poisonous plants than helpful ones. This penchant for the macabre extends to his sense of humor, which is about as gallows as you can get.

LICHBLOOD
Vertraum is descended from an ancient lich, and as such has inherited certain genetic abnormalities, purposely bred and interbred over several generations by the cult he was born into. It being a not at all happy funtime cult in the slightest, involving several acts of violence, the whole experience has left Traum rather jaded to more mundane horrors, and even a fair degree of the nonmundane.

More TBD.


Fun Facts!:
  • Has a very restricted diet in that he can only consume raw meat, preferably of the red variety. Fish will get him there in a pinch, but anything outside of uncooked meat products is guaranteed to make him sick.
  • Narcoleptic during “daylight hours”, if he's not keeping actively busy he will fall asleep standing up.
  • Despite being violently nonreligious, he absolutely believes in the supernatural, and his quarters tend to smell like burnt sage more often than not.
  • Despite not being a mage, has a rather advanced understanding of necromantic theory, and can hold his own in terms of small herbal charms.

{SPECIAL ABILITIES}
Son of a Lich - Vertraum’s rather unique heritage has left him with several abilities as well as several defects. He’s delicate, sensitive to bright lights and has fits of diurnal narcolepsy, but with exceptional reflexes and physical strength. His teeth are mutated from birth, with a secondary set partially fused with the primary “normal” set, giving his canines, premolars and molars sharp pointed edges. The only normal teeth are his incisors. He can see shadows of things, little glimpses of lingering presences, but nothing particularly solid. Jury’s still out on his lifespan, but he’s certainly not taking any special care one way or the other.

{RELATIONSHIPS}
Even if he could see his family, which he can’t from so far away, he’d never want to speak to any of them again.
A few work friends, here and there, other people who work the graveyard shift with him, but no one who really “knows” him.

{HISTORY}
He escaped from a group of crazies to live in a pirate town. Go figure.
