Name: Reen
Age: Chronologically 16, Physically/Mentally 34
Birthday: January 16
Gender: Male
Species: Chupacabra
Category: Academy Staff
Work: Campus Security, Scout (Extraction Team), occasional Arena Fighter.
Appearance:
In his human form, Reen stands decently tall at 6'2, with an average build, tan skin and lean musculature. He's often clean-shaven, though he tends to let a little bit of stubble through, and he keeps his black hair cut short. He has dark brown eyes, which usually have dark bags under them due to a poor nights sleep. He has multiple small scars located on his person, including one on his temple, many along his arms and legs, and a few on his back.
He's usually seen wearing cheap suits, the kind that are meant to look presentable but still show that he's not putting much effort into it.
His true form, however, is that of a Chupacabra. Without his human shape charm, he looks like a cross between a large wolf and a lizard. He stands around 6'7 at full height but is usually either hunched over or moving on all fours. His body is covered in greenish grey scales, rough to the touch, with sharp spines growing out of his back and tail. His feet have greatly elongated fingers, with razor-sharp claws at their tips. His head possesses large red eyes, a long snout similar to a bat in appearance with rows of sharp teeth and a long, forked tongue. Three long, sharp proboscises can emerge from his mouth, up to about half a meter long.
Personality: At a glance, Reen is crass and rude. He looks constantly grumpy about something whether he's actually pissed or not, though he's usually just really tired. Reen was born and bred to hunt, to fight, and as a result, he has an aggressive streak a mile long. For the sake of his job at the academy, he does his best to rein in his temper as much as he can, but he's not above getting loud and intimidating just to keep others in line.
While Reen has accepted that his old life as essentially an attack dog is over, he still misses the thrill of the fight. He is occasionally overzealous in performing his job as a security guard, partly in order to do a good job, and partly because he hopes that it'll lead to conflict. When things are calm he often ends up feeling antsy, anxious, never truly comfortable. He's accustomed to fighting, and nothing seems to bring him the same sort of joy as fighting does.
He respects strength, not just physical strength, but also strength of will, and he is loyal to anyone who proves they possess both.

Biography:
Reen was born as part of a program specifically created to breed various species of monsters and other supernatural creatures to be sold to other groups. Criminal organisations, security companies, or just rich mages who wanted a particularly impressive sounding pet, were all patrons of this program. He and his parents before him had been selectively bred to make the strongest Chupacabra they could. Reen was born with three other siblings, however, they were all separated soon after his birth. They began to train him immediately, teaching him to hunt, to fight, to be aggressive. He responded to this treatment well, picking up fast. At a young age, he displayed an intelligence unusually impressive for his species, though not enough to warrant concern.
Reen reached Physical Maturity after 2 years, and it was at this point he was sold off to a small mercenary company. It was a group that operated within the veil of secrecy, with members both human and inhuman, who took on jobs that were as dangerous as they were illegal. The company employed multiple creatures similar to Reen, mostly used for intimidation and for tracking chasing down fleeing targets. The men in the group treated him poorly, and due to his own aggressive nature, he needed to be kept in isolation from the other animals. The only one who treated him decently was the tamer in charge of the animals, who fed him and kept him healthy out of obligation. This suited him fine, however. He lived for the hunt, and as long as he was given targets, he was satisfied.
He spent the next 6 years like this, living from one fight to the next until karma finally caught up to him and his group. They had pissed off the wrong enemy, and another team had been dispatched to hunt them down, one whose members were far more powerful. Reen was left in his cage, listening to the sounds of men he'd fought alongside dying all around him, and after the smell of all the blood whipped him into a frenzy, he burst out to join them. However, he was easily blasted aside, and for the first time in his life, Reen felt afraid.
He limped away from the fight, finding the bodies of one of his nonhuman teammates and the charm they wore. While he was still yet to develop true sapience, his mind was sharp enough to recognise that it would change his appearance, and possibly help him to escape. He took it, along with their weapon, and fled the scene. For a long time, he lived out in the wilderness, hunting down wildlife and the occasional hiker that he came across. For a few months he remained under the radar, but after some of his handiwork was discovered, the Manta Carlos government caught wind of it and sent someone to pick him up. At first, they thought he was some sort of feral vampires, though they quickly identified him properly and took him to Manta Carlos, thinking they could integrate him into society.
He took the name of his former tamer (their name had actually been Rowen, but due to his lack of speaking ability he mispronounced it, and the mistake ended up sticking), and began the difficult process of learning to act like a human. It was a rough transition, for a long time he needed to be kept away from other people due to the risks, but he managed to learn fast and was eventually able to attend the academy. A few years later, he was fully rehabilitated.
Despite this, he never really shook off his old nature. He felt unsatisfied living in society, restless, finding himself drawn towards conflicts. In order to vent his aggressive feelings, he took a job with the academy, working as a security guard when he could and venturing outside the island as a scout when needed.

Passive Abilities:
Chupacabra Physiology:
- As a Chupacabra, Reen is naturally very strong and fast.
- His human form possesses peak human abilities, as well as a supernatural endurance, allowing him to continue functioning even after taking injuries that would normally disable a normal human.
- While in his Chupacabra form, he's fast enough to outrun speeding cars and strong enough to lift a small bus off the ground with immense effort.
- His scales are also especially resistant to piercing weapons like knives and bullets.
- His senses are also very acute in both forms. He has naturally increased night vision, reflexes fast enough to perceive and react to a bullet fired at 10 meters, and enhanced senses comparable to that of a wolf.
Blood Drunk:
- Reen's sense of smell is already impressive, but its extra sensitive in regards to fresh blood.
- It has an almost intoxicating effect on Reen, it dulls his thoughts and brings out his more bestial instincts. While under this effect his physical abilities are increased even further, and once he's caught a scent, he's able to track a particular source of blood extremely far, even to the other side of the island.
- This sense is acute enough to where he's able to separate it from other smells, no matter how many are around him.
Active Abilities:
Spike Generation:
- Reen is able to cause boney spines to protrude from his body. In his human form, he can cause them to emerge from his hands, his forearms, elbows, back, knees, shins and feet.
- In his chupacabra form, they can emerge from any point on his body.
- The spines are as strong as steel and sharp enough to gouge several inches into solid metal.
Quellion:
- Reen carries what appears to be an old, ornate pepperbox revolver. However, the weapon does not require ammo, and each of its three barrels has been enchanted to fire magical effects.
- The first barrel fires bullets that cause its target to lose all sense of feeling in their entire body, it extremely difficult to stand or perform any motor functions.
- The second fires a bolt of light that pierces its target without hurting them, but can pin them to any surface.
- And the third fires shots that cause the target to experience all the same effects a regular bullet would in the spot where it hits, but without leaving any true, lasting injuries.
- All these effects can be disabled at will by Reen.
Weaknesses:
- Blood Dependency: Reen must drink blood each day, around a large goat's worth. If he doesn't his health will begin to deteriorate.
- Lifespan: Chupacabras have a naturally lower lifespan when compared to humans. Reen likely won't live past his mid 40's.
