pls excuse the skeleton form for now, i'll give it a makeover soon :)
- john doe. referred almost entirely as "doe". his original name has been lost to time and perhaps to himself as well.
- true age is unknown, but he appears to be in the late 20s range.
- dracian. appears to be male.
- bisexual/romantic. romance and appearances are fickle things to doe, but he appreciates both masculine and feminine individuals.
- the draci have no true permanent form. rather, they adapt to their surroundings, picking up features that help them blend into their environment. their null form is a faceless creature, seemingly made up of shadows and tendrils that sap energy from whatever source they can find. currently, doe takes the form of a human male that appears to be of scottish descent, adopting a glaswegian dialect to support his charade. his skin is a pale ivory as if he's never seen a lick of sun in his life and unmarred by any blemishes. his face is slightly gaunt and dark shadows hang beneath his eyes, giving off a sleep-depraved appearance that does nothing to help the cantankerous look his face is often twisted into. his jet black hair is kept short and neatly groomed like the faint shadow of facial hair that accents his jaw. his eyes are a dark cobalt, though are mistaken to be as black as ink in low lighting. his eyebrows are slightly unkept and often knit together in a scowl. doe is a lanky man, though a tad on the shorter side with a height of 178cm. he possesses lean muscle meant for agility rather than strength, though it is not wise to doubt his abilities. a strange darkness creeps up from the tips of his fingers to his forearm, perhaps a sign of his charade breaking or a darker corruption. he covers this with a pair of specialised gloves to contain the spread as well as protect those whom come in contact with his touch that would otherwise leach their life away. besides this, his attire consists of suits and sweaters with very little variation from shades of black and grey, preferring to blend in rather than stand out.
- doe, due to his draci lineage, possesses shapeshifting though the process must be drawn out rather than instantaneous or a great deal of energy is spent. doe also has the ability to manipulate energy to a limited extent and can either absorb or expel energy in bursts in dire circumstances. his species cannot produce their own energy, so the very little they possess from feeding on a host is spent frugally. other than his innate abilities, doe can also understand several languages from over the few hundred years he's spent on earth, such as english, spanish, mandarin, and latin. he's also a surprisingly good cook.
- a reluctant field operative of two years. before aion, he was just another shadow, evading detection for as long as possible.
- doe has a tumultuous personality, marred by hundreds of years hiding behind a mask while concealing his true self. outbursts of anger are not uncommon for the reclusive alien who can be equally as frigid and cutting as the daggers shot from his glare. despite having underlying identity and abandonment issues that he refuses to address, doe actively pushes anyone away who tries to dig beneath the grimy layers the abrasive front he puts up. his blunt honesty is both a blessing and a curse and though he means no ill will, no one is safe from his cutting remarks. doe has a rebellious spirit and is argumentative towards any authority that threatens his independence (which is ironic for a parasitic species) and threatens to shove him in a tiny box of conventionality. he is quick to judge others and slow to trust, a combination that severely impacts and limits his personal relationships. the patient few who see a vulnerable, insecure being beneath many layers of spite, misplaced anger, and ambition are held dear to doe. the boundaries that doe sets for himself are hardly ever crossed, especially when it comes to personal matters. ironically, he seems to leap over the boundaries of others’, becoming an overbearing and often unwelcomed presence in the personal lives of the unfortunate souls who let him in. for all his flaws, there are a few qualities that redeem his corrosive nature. never one to invest in fanciful dreams, doe is pragmatic and is usually three steps ahead of trouble. as stubborn and parasitic as he may be, doe truly has others’ best interests at heart, though the way he executes those interests may not be viewed in a positive light. although he has no qualms playing the role of an antagonist where one is needed, he rises as a hero on occasion. doe understands that he cannot please everyone and does not spend his energy doing so but will invest in relationships that are dear to him. a reluctant fatherly figure, his shoulder is a sturdy place for a weary head to rest upon, though not without an empty protest first. though he lacks the confidence to display his deeper emotions, doe admires the quality in others who do. flawed as a poorly cut jewel, doe has many facets of his personality to improve before he can reflect his true identity that has been stifled for so long.
- doe was not so much as born, but rather created on the planet of drac, thousands of galaxies over from the milky way. the beings that inhabited the planet were called dracians, faceless figures of shadows that held no discernable features other than shadowy tendrils that sprout from their spines and their they were a species of scavengers, leaching off of any source of energy they could find to power their hungry bodies that would otherwise fade away. they're often dubbed the parasites of the universe, aptly named for how they seem to latch onto a host until its nothing but a husk once the draci have had their fill. whether it be a planet, species, or a singular host, the draci have a very loose moral code when it comes to feeding their desire for power and very little will stop their path of destruction. the draci do not necessarily age, but rather lose their ability to hold onto enough energy to keep their form and eventually fade out of existence. that was the fate of many of doe's peers who had bled their galaxy of its energy and left themselves without a new host for millions of lightyears. a relatively new draci during the death of the rest of species, doe had enough energy to place himself in a stasis until a new host could be found, floating in the depths of the vacuum of space as disconnected shadows. by the time a new host had passed by, allowing doe to slip through the vents of the shuttle, several hundred years had passed. weakened, doe was an undetectable presence within the ship, traveling along with his host and barely able to sap the other alien's energy to gain enough power to hold himself together. finally, after years of discreet feeding, doe had accumulated enough energy to overpower his alien host. the grappling between the two aliens led to the shuttle crashing into a planet called earth, approximately in the the planet's year of 1502. to doe's delight, this planet was rich in materials, especially carbon which granted him the strength needed to shapeshift into one of the planet's species: a human. over the years, the alien adapted to human life, having spent more time on earth than he had on his own forgotten planet. he wore many faces, including royalty, a poor merchant, and a farmhand, navigating through life as a passing shadow. the alien remained undetected until the day he was transported from the year 1895 to the present day in a strange lapse in time. unable to change his appearance to match his surroundings without spending the last bit of energy he had from his last feed, the alien looked as foreign as he felt, navigating the streets of london while looking like something out of a western film. that was the day he was approached by aion and with great reluctance, offered his knowledge as a field operative. he conveniently kept his hunger for power hidden away, careful to not rouse suspicions. and though earth had become the only home he'd known, the innate desire to feed is slowly eating away at his constitution.
