PERSONA

History: Severine lived as a normal person up until the age of sixteen. He had a mother, a father and two siblings, both younger. He had three good friends and enjoyed school, his part time job and hanging out. He wasn’t necessarily popular, many people picked on him for his choice of clothing, his quiet nature and sexual orientation but none of that ever bothered him. One night, his friends and he had gone to a grave yard to hang. As they sat around telling scary stories they began to hear loud barking. Figuring it was just a dog in someone’s yard they all ignored it. After a few more minutes they then heard growling, this time closer. Now they grew worried. Everyone kept their eyes open for the dog, one even got up to look around but none saw it. After an hour without hearing anything they decided it had probably left, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Just as they started laughing at how freaked out they had been a huge black done came running towards them out of the darkness. The girls screamed, the boys yelled. Clumsily, they got to their feet and began to run for the truck. Though they never looked back they knew it must have been at their heels. One girl tripped and they all turned to help her up, each one expecting to see the dog mauling her, but it wasn’t there, it had disappeared. Looking around frantically, they began to hear its menacing growls coming from the shadows. Finally, it appeared on their right only a few feet away. It lashed out but never did it move from its spot. By this point, each group member had a good guess as to what the creature was. It was the Black Shuck or Hellhound as others knew it. Running now for dear life they moved towards the truck, never daring to look back as it barked, growled and even howled. If they looked back even once at its huge black figure, they would die, that was how the myths went. Once in the truck they revved the engine and drove away however only to skid to a stop seconds after. Severine’s body was engulfed in red flames, his skin deathly pale and his eyes pure black, even the whites. It was as if he were a creature from hell just like the dog. They all screamed at him to get out, in confusion and disorder, he did. He watched in fear as they drove away, in fear for himself and the Hellhound close behind him.
Word spread fast through the little town. The next morning every man and woman, child and pet stood yelling outside his house. His own father grabbed him from the cuff of his pyjama shirt and threw him out the front door. Like in the movie, Frankenstein they drove him out of town. With nowhere to go, he followed the highway until he reached the mountains. It was there that he found a school, one that accepted him…or so he thought.
Personality: Severine is highly misunderstood by his new peers at Ingenium Academy as well as everywhere else he seems to go. People look only at his powers and overall appearance when judging him. In reality he’s a really cool guy who loves to hang out and have fun. Because of how he’s judged, Severine would never judge another person in a similar way, he wouldn’t clique them or ignore them because their different. If someone were to approach him in a friendly matter he could start an hour long conversation with the person and most likely grow to call him/her a friend. After his previous friends drove away in fright, away from him, he has started to build in imaginative wall around him in which he uses in attempt to keep others out of his life. He does not want to feel what he felt that night ever again, in other words he fears that if he were to make more friends they would only grow frightened of him and leave.
Theme Song: Welcome to the Family, All Black, I’m Still Here
Interesting Facts: Severine’s sexual orientation is gay.
Fears: Grave yards. Only a few short years ago, a grave yard would have been his favourite place to go and be alone, however, after the appearance of one supernatural creature in particular he vowed never to return to a grave yard again. This creature Severine had seen twice, if he were to see it only once more then he would die.
Ambitions: He wishes for people to accept him instead of shun him because of his hellish powers. His ambition is to prove to people he is a good guy, one that can be trusted and loved. He wants to find his place amongst everyone else. Of course his style of clothing does not help anything.
Other: What Severine does not know is that the Hellhound is the reason of his powers. He himself is a Hellhound in human form. He was born this way, but it was not until the creature’s appearance that he discovered his abilities. Everyone at the school thinks him evil; some call him Satan’s son. But he’s not evil, not the child of Satan, surely if he was, then he wouldn’t be at the school but instead taking the souls of people to hell or something of the kind.

SPECIES/TYPE

Type of Creature: Friendly Hellhound
Special Powers/Abilities/Gifts: Severine can controle both fire and darkness. What he has yet to discover is that he is really a Hellhound, not a human.
Background: The night that Severine had gone to the local grave yard with a couple of friends and had that encounter with the supernatural creature was the night he discovered his powers. The first time he saw it, his body began to feel really hot, the second time it felt really cold and his skin grew deathly pale. While the small group was running for the exit he found that his hands burned as if they were on fire and when he looked to see if they were all right, he realised they really were in flamed. As they all jumped into the dingy truck his friends all turned to look at him and scream. His body was engulfed in flame, his skin was pale yet again and his eyes were pure black, even the whites. The flames felt hot at first but after only a few seconds he couldn’t feel them at all. After that, everyone thought him to be just as hell like as the creature from before, they chased him out of the town with any weapon they could find.

APPEARANCE

General Appearance: Severine is average height and weight with pale Caucasian skin. He’s slightly skinny but not by much, nearly impossible to tell unless he removes his shirt in which case you can clearly see his ribs. His hair is nearly shoulder length, he often uses jell to spike it down, grouping strands of hair together giving a cartoon or anime like appearance. He wears what one would classify as punk or gothic clothing, typically consisting of black/red T-shirts with fish net sleeves, black trousers, big boots and lots of chains, buckles and spikes. While rarely seen during the week, Severine does wear “meakup” or “gothup” which is his humerous word of which he uses. He generaly uses only black eye liner, lipstick and a tad bit of face paint.
Eye Color: His eyes seem to change colors seasonally. In the spring and summer they appear light green emeralds. In the fall and winter however, they are much deeper.
When he summons his powers to their fullest extension they change dramatically. It is then that they turn smoke black, even the whites.
Hair Color: His natural hair color is a very dark brown and, when slicked with jell appears to be black. In random places he has died small chunks scarlet red.
When summoning his powers to their fullest extent, the dark brown appears to be smoke like while the red chunks look almost life flames, this however varies on the eyes which view it.
Height: 5 ft. 10 in.
Weight: 174 Ibs.
