Name: Vadim Lahti
Age: 23
Birthday: October 31th
Gender: Male
Category: Student
Class: College- Business Major
Appearance Description:
In his current state, Vadim shares much of the physiology of a feral raccoon; his body is covered with thick grey fur, with the distinctive black rings around his tail, and the mask around his eyes. A short, slender build of 4'9" makes him agile and a hard target to hit, although, when combined with his large, brown eyes, his long, fluffy tail and his overall cute 'coon face, people sometimes forget that they are looking at a Machiavellian plotter who wouldn't hesitate to kill them if he felt it was necessary.
So far as clothing goes, Vadim keeps things elegant, yet simple. In school, he can be seen wearing a simple(usually white) button down tucked into a black slacks with a pair of nice shoes (although in some instances, he'll go with riding boots and a short sleeve button up). Outside school, when the raccoon is out on the town, he'll keep the shirt and and slacks, but also add a vest, under which he keeps an old pistol, and ascot of some colour to go with the rest of his attire; regardless of what he wears, though, he can almost always be seen wearing his trademark black flat-cap, regardless of formality or situation.
Personality Description:
If there were ever a check being payed for being the living definition of the word "Machiavellian", Vadim would collect it. Despite his cute face, this raccoon is a ruthless, cunning plotter who has cheated and deceived his way through life. Around a game table, no one's money is safe from his dirty tricks, and if you happen to borrow money from him, be prepared to pay heavy interest rates that border the lines of usury. He will exploit any and all loopholes he can find in a law, and use anyone he might feel to be of use to him; he displays no remorse or empathy when innocent people get caught in his mechanizations, and won't hesitate to shoot someone if it benefits his interests. Despite this, he is well versed in general social niceties and etiquette, and has a bit of natural charm, and although this is mostly a front he puts on to get what he wants, Vadim can be genuinely nice and caring towards those he likes or considers friends, to the point where he will try not to involve them in any of his mechanizations.... Key word being "try".
Powers:
While not particularly apparent, Vadim can see spirits, as well as see through fae glamor and basic illusions. There are two limits to this, though; firstly, he cannot see through the disguises of angels or demons, as their disguises are based in immortal forces rather than fae magic, and secondly, any illusions that affect more than sight or sound will still fool him like anyone else who might fall under the spell.
Biography: Vadim isn't one for talking about his past, and is perfectly content to let rumors circulate about what he has, and has not done. However, he will give you a few important things, if you pry hard enough, firstly stating that he was born in a small border town between Russia and Finland, and about the age of 12, a letter came in the mail for him, stating that because he was "different" (at least, that's how he puts it), he was invited to attend Starlight Academy. He had no qualms with leaving his folks to freeze their butts off in the cold, and took the first train he could catch to the nearest airport... Paying for the ticket with money he had gotten cheating people at faro... So began his life of crime.
Additional Information:
The pistol Vadim carries with him is (coincidentally) a Lahti L-35; how he came into possession of it, he refuses to tell.
