Name: Titus Laburnum
Nicknames: Tits (thanks Shun), Asshat (Thanks Shun and Xiu), ******** (a fond thank you to mot)
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Faction/Race Nightmare Demon
Personality: Nice is not a term Titus knows well but at first glance he can give off the air of a friendly individual with an inviting smile(at least until he shows his teeth). The sad fact is it’s purely a facade to lead people into a false sense of security before they learn about his true nature. Being a creature that thrives on tormenting people in their sleep, Titus takes this one step beyond into the realm of reality. He enjoys seeing people suffer and might often go out of his way to see someone squirm. Nicknames are often involved. He has a book full of them and none of them are particularly nice.
The young nightmare actually comes from a family not unlike the mafia. An organization called the Golden Chain. His family is in a mutual standing with another organization, a Yakuza gang, in the same area as long as certain terms are upheld and territories are not breached. Titus doesn't take to this mutual standing or truce well considering the other gang is mostly reapers. He feels that his family holds the more superior race and because of that he often seeks fights among the members of the ally gang. Needless to say this usually gets him into a lot of trouble since it questions the fabric that the mutual agreement was based upon.
Since he was small and big enough to stand on his own two legs Titus has been trained to fight hoping to build his physical abilities. Magic, poisons(it’s in the name), and dream manipulation is a large part of what his family’s organization does to drive fear, but they don’t want to be seen as physically weak. So to avoid this Titus has been trained and trained hard. He has seen his fair share of abuse and has come to enjoy the pain to a point.
As far as weakness is concerned Titus would like to believe that he has none, though like with everyone else he has one, or more likely a few. Being a nightmare demon and using his ability to conjure up and manipulate dreams (though he can’t do this well yet) he has been exposed to a fair number of fears that people have. These fears, while not his own, float around in his head and plague him if he falls to sleep. Like an epic nightmare they all come crashing in around him at once and because of this he just doesn't sleep. Ever. This might often leave him slightly out of it and not always the quickest of wit though that won’t stop him from trying to make a sharp comment or retort. His phrasing though….often fails.
While the young nightmare does his best to hide it, anything of the cute or ‘desu’ nature tends to make him uncomfortable. Glitter and pink? It makes him want to crawl out of his skin. Generally it is things of this nature he takes the most pleasure in destroying, so it would come as no surprise that he would seek out weaker cuter Halloweeners to torment to no end.
Why did they enroll at the academy? Titus was sent to live with his Uncle due to causing troubles within his families gang and with the mutual ties they try to sustain. It's a sort of banishment for the time being until he can straighten up his act and learn when to listen. His family sent him specifically to Amityville hoping the school’s higher rated academics and discipline would help to put Titus in his place if his Uncle didn't manage to do so on his own.
Fear: Poisonous Dream- A thick hazy cloud of poisonous fear fills the air and if stepped into the opponent can experience a variety of effects from sickness to hallucinations. These effects can sometimes last seconds or minutes (To fall under tainted fang)
Natural Ability: Minor Dream Manipulation. This only really works if the person nearby is well...asleep but Titus has the ability to dive into another person's dreams and twist things around. He is currently limited to his own imagination though not being particularly good on drawing on people's true fears just yet. There can also be complications if the person in question is a lucid dreamer since they could easily take back control of their own dream.
Appearance:I don’t have much in mind, the only thing I know for certain are the eyes. I want the sclera to be black and the irises to be white with no pupil. Also a very toothy grin, lots of pointy teeth. Other than that…whatever you imagine a nightmare demon boy to look like owo; Maybe night themed colors?
