Name: Spiridion Nicknames: Spirit, Moony, Shiny Eyes Gender: Genderless, but identifies as male Age: 16ish
Faction: Ghost Race: Moon Eyes
Personality:
[ Possessive, Personal Space Issues, Good at Finding Things, Loyal ]
"My shiny!" - You see that shiny piece of glass hanging around his neck? Yeah that's his and his only. No, you can't touch it. He's obsessive about shiny things (a by product of the ghost he is) and no one is allowed to touch his shinies. While he isn't going to blind you for it, he will make a fuss and stare at you until you give it back. If you don't give it back after he asks, then he'll light up your world for a moment to get it back.
"D-don't touch me!" - It takes a lot to get him to even be in the same 'personal bubble' as someone else, much less having them touch him. Being touched brings up memories of being led around while blind, while being used as a flashlight. He doesn't shake hands, he panics if he's bumped into, and don't even try to hug him. He tends to... freak out if you touch him, as well. He doesn't mean to, and is really trying to improve on it, but he will blind you with his moonlight if he's not careful. It's a knee jerk reaction and he's really sorry.
"Ah... ah... I can find it." - For all of Spiridon's awkwardness and personal space issues, if you've lost something, he'll try to find it for you. He may have wandered caves for years at the bidding of dragons, but he also found some great things in doing so. He's got a sort of knack for finding it, even if it's simply on your head.
"I-if you n-need me, I'm he-ere." - He may be awkward, but Spiridon means well. If you understand his boundaries and take things slow with him, he'll grow to regard you as a close friend. He'll be loyal to you (in most respects) and isn't going to deny your existence. Something the dragons taught him about trusting your companions struck a good cord with Spiridon and he sticks by it. If you need of him, he will come, provided you don't abuse it.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
While Spiridon did not have a terrible afterlife or death, he was toted around by a few dragons for a while. They used his ability to search through caves and find rare treasure and treated him well enough. Spiridon did not enjoy being blind for most of those adventures however, and towards the end of his stay with the pair of treasure seekers, he started to voice his opinion on the matter.
Being understanding dragons (who'd sent their own children to Amityville some years prior), the pair sent him of to be enrolled in the Academy to learn how to better use his abilities. And to make friends.

Abilities
Natural Ability:
Moonlight - Moon Eyes Ghosts are able to shine light out of their mirror like eyes much like a flashlight. This renders the ghost blind, but lights up the area in front of them. This allows those around them to see what might be lurking in the dark. Because of this ability, most Moon Eyes Ghosts barely glow from any part of their body but their eyes.
FEAR Ability:
[ Full Moon Blast! ] - Double Take - Spiridon closes his eyes for a moment, charging up FEAR behind his eyelids. When he opens them, out pours a focused beam of FEAR imbued moonlight that damages his target. He is, however, completely blind during this and cannot see his target move out of the way. To try to combat this, he blinks in the middle to try to see his target. Doesn't always work.

The room is plain, one wall lined with books, the other with mirrors. Spiridon comes to this room on those nights of deepest, truest sleep - a feat not easily achieved by a ghost - and this is where tales of mystical and terrifying places are told.
As a Knight of Camelot, Ridon took the roll of a knight apprentice who ultimately became the Great Knight of the Violet Knights, and a beacon of hope.
