Name: Ignatius Hughes
Age: 18
Birthday: December 1
Gender: Male
Species: Fae
Category: Student
Class: College first Year
Major: English
Appearance Description: He dresses unusually dapper for someone his age, like someone who's going to be reading classical literature or poetry. He has thick black curly hair that initially obscured his eyes from view. There is a good reason for this. Iggy's eyes are more or less hollow voids with glowing red orbs floating in them. They still function like normal eyes. Iggy stands at 5'9”. He's rarely seen without his raccoon riding on his shoulder.
His other form is a ferocious looking red eyed creature, standing at roughly ten feet tall when standing upright. His head is a horned skull. His body is covered in coarse black fur, though sections of his torso sport a bony exoskeleton on them. Portions of his pelt seem to mimic a cape. His tongue is long and barbed.
Personality Description: Thanks to his past Iggy is shy and distrustful of others. As such he's usually quiet and only speaks when either spoken to, or something important needs to be said. He doesn't mind being near groups of people so long as he can see he has clear escape routes if he needs to be alone. All in all he's the quiet kid that rarely gets noticed. The one you can go a whole year and never remember anything they've said. He's fine with this. In the cases where someone does manage to break through and get to know him, he's pretty friendly and loyal. At times he may even come to a person's defense. He's able to speak in his alternate form though he still rarely does so. He does exhibit more confidence and boldness that's almost never seen when he's human.
Since his parent's deaths Iggy has opted to try becoming more outwardly confident. Iggy's shown he has a bit of a sharp tongue. He's also showing he may be a bit more ambitious than even he realized.
Active Abilities:
Pannic Room: Iggy can emit a localized area of fear within sixty feet around him. Looking directly into Iggy's eyes can cause vague feelings of anxiety. Iggy can increase the wave's intensity and range separately. He can also detect people within its radius in proportion to its intensity. Naturally people with any immunity to his fear waves don't ping at all. At its most intense it compels people to run away. Iggy can hold it at its maximum range and intensity for roughly fifteen minutes if acting on his own volition. If he's within a graveyard or an area with a strong amount of death energy, he can maintain it for a half hour.
Gravetender Howl: Iggy can let out a horrific cry that can cause nausea, disorientation, and sharp headaches to those effected. The area effected is within sixty feet, however the sound itself can travel quite far.
Fearful suggestion: If Iggy maintains focused eye contact on a person, he can manipulate them via verbal suggestion. The strength of the suggestion is proportional to the strength of his fear waves. At its weakest, it feels like a vague idea being planted. A suggestion with the full weight of his aura behind it is stronger, and a target may be more inclined to listen out of fear. There is also an equally high chance that they flee due to the wave's effects. He cannot use this ability to bring harm to himself or others. In other words he can't have someone attack him to get around his inability to preemptively attack a living person. He can still use this freely on the undead though
Soul consumption: When he consumes a soul, Iggy is effectively processing it so that it can pass on. He gains no additional strength from this. He does however feel energized, as if he woke up from a refreshing nap. This process can take between six and eight hours and they can store as many souls as they wish. Older members of the species are often storing and releasing souls on a constant basis. They can only consume dead souls be they disembodied, or attached to a corpse still. When it comes to intelligent undead, they are treated similarly to living beings. He doesn't go after intelligent undead due to the laws of the island. He can however attack them at his discretion. The undead in question must be posing some kind of immediate threat to Iggy or persons in the vicinity.
Smoke Manipulation: Iggy can generate and manipulate smoke. He's immune to the effects of smoke and can breathe in it. He can blanket areas in smoke to conceal his movements. Iggy can shape and direct any smoke he creates so long as it's within the full radius of his aura whether it's ramped up or not. Iggy is capable of propelling himself over short distances, and creating solid masses of smoke to sit on. He can also fire it with enough force to knock a person over.
Iggy is able to manipulate his smoke into solid detailed constructs. Iggy subconsciously shapes his smoke into the morbid and horrifying objects and entities found in his court. He retains a full control range of sixty feet, should they move out of that, they will revert to smoke again. The strength of these constructs is entirely dependent on the strength of his aura. In its unamplified state, constructs are very fragile, and disappear instantly if hit. Under the full strength of his aura, the constructs are akin to the real things in terms of durability. Iron will by default dissipate smoke constructs instantly.
Grave flowers: Iggy can see through funeral flowers. He can grow these flowers in small clumps within sixty feet of him, and wither away after an hour of being out of his control range. He can come back to look through these flowers if he leaves their range, however his vision through them deteriorates in proportion to the flowers. He is able to access flowers in a similar manner if they are already present in a given area. Iggy can also sprout these flowers from his body for a similar effect.
Shifting: Iggy can shapeshift between his human and fae forms at will. Iggy can shift fully or partially into a cloud of smoke and travel around. He can effectively fly like this, and move as fast as his fae form's top speed. Naturally, he can slip through cracks and unsealed openings. He cannot pass through, or touch iron in this state. It will still cause him pain and cause him to revert to his human form.
Passive Abilities:
Enhanced physiology: In his gravetender form, Iggy can lift two tons and outpace a racehorse with ease. In spite of his size he is quite agile. He can heal rapidly from minor injuries. If taken to a graveyard, morgue or an area rich in death energy such as a battlefield, he is able to effectively regenerate lost limbs and organs if he's allowed time(a day or so) to rest. He must be in his full gravetender form for his regeneration to kick in when taken to a graveyard.
Enhanced senses: Iggy can detect other fae through their glamour. He can also smell death energy, and determine what its nature is, be it a corpse, undead, even reapers. They're drawn to fresh and lingering deaths.
Immortality: Gravetenders never truly die. They usually revive within two weeks if they're given proper burials. Otherwise they remain dormant for an indeterminate period. If a gravetender consumes another member of its kind the soul of the consumed will go off to be reborn as a new person.
Weaknesses: His most notable weakness as a fae is his weakness to iron. Being caged or trapped causes him to break out in a particularly nasty rash. Getting cut causes wounds to not heal until all traces of it are removed. It also burns when skin contact is made.
He cannot kill the living, he can however hunt undead. He also cannot preemptively attack living beings, only defend himself should he be attacked. The only times he would be able to kill is if there is no other choice. This is more than just a choice, it's an extremely powerful compulsion.
Resources: Lives on campus in the dorms, works at a local bookstore.
Biography: Somewhere out there is a human child that was switched out for Ignatius. Unfortunately for whoever that is that's a story for another time. Ignatius Hughes was raised by grudging human parents with nowhere to go until scouts brought them to Manta Carlos. Iggy was raised on the island under fairly normal conditions, though his aura made it difficult to make any decently solid friendships. Even his parents were fairly distant to him due to this factor. There would be more here but he's sixteen years old and lived on Manta Carlos since he was about two. He's currently just trying to make it through tenth grade.
His parents have died which has led to some rather unexpected changes. This has also prompted him into starting up a support group at the school for people with potentially harmful aura.
Additional Information: His racoon is actually a familiar and is immune to his aura.
