I'm making this thread for people to post and reference character descriptions and powers and stuff. You can include as much info as you want. If you need more than one post for a single character, then please reserve it to edit later so that the posts stay close together. If you want to include a detailed backstory or other spoiler information, please include it in a spoiler tag like this:

***See next post below for template.
*see https://www.16personalities.com/ for personality test. Feel free to add any info you want, or to edit your character's info as needed.
Family: Mother (Yulia) died a couple of years ago, but father is still alive. No siblings. Has grandparents (and possibly cousins), but was disowned shortly after his mother's death. (They believe he is part of the reason that she is gone now and they resent him for it.) His grandparents moved away (taking much of their money with them), but they left Terran the house in accordance with Yulia's will.
Motivations: Revenge against his father for his mother's trauma/torment and death.
Personality Flaw: Can appear cold and distant at times. Has a habit of repressing his emotions, but he has been known to have a short fuse when irritated. Most insults about him get ignored because he's used to it (although there is a limit to how much he'll tolerate, hence his suppressing his emotions), but when it comes to people insulting his mother, the fuse is much, much shorter.
Racial Abilities
Like vampires, dhampirs are said to have a sort of unearthly beauty and grace about them. (In other words, he's handsome with fair (or pale; almost sickly) complexion and moves gracefully, as one might expect.)
He has fangs and is capable of drinking blood, but he doesn't require it to sustain himself. He does, unfortunately, get cravings for it. (Ever since the first time he ever tasted it as a child. [He bit another kid while in a fight].) Drinking blood would also boost his capacity for magic as well as accelerate healing. (in other words, consuming blood--especially human blood--makes him more vampire-like). He has fairly good dark vision low-light vision, but he can not see in pitch darkness. His eyes are also sensitive to bright light. He has excellent hearing (superior hearing) and a sensitive sense of smell, so he is sensitive to high-pitched sounds/frequencies (high-pitched sounds can curt his ears). Heightened strength and speed. (Although his strength, speed, and reflexes are still within human limits [strong for his age, but no stronger than a fully-grown adult human male]. Consuming blood would increases his physical abilities to rival that of a full-blooded vampire, including a boost in stamina as well as his capacity for magic.)
Magical Attributes: Darkness affinity. Weakness to light/radiant magic.
Resistances: Partial resistance to necrotic damage (as he is already sort of half undead), and against bloodborne illnesses (or a somewhat stronger immune system, thanks to his vampire heritage)
Misc.: *Note: Dhampir blood is a rare and valuable ritual component as well.
Magic Powers/Abilities [edit: Spells not final.]
Shadow Manipulation (Lv.1) The ability to control and manipulate a shadow's size, shape, length, and intensity (how dark the shadow looks). This ability looses any effect in pitch-darkness, as shadows require a light source and a room can not be made brighter by shrinking shadows. (Lv.2) Can be used to darken a room and extinguish dim non-magical light sources, such as candle light or small torches. (Lv.3) "Black-out", ability to extinguish light by blocking it out completely with a thick black shadow. This power may also extinguish magical sources of light, and can push back light magic.
Tangible Shadows (Lv.1) Ability to physically interact with shadows as if they were physical matter (usually in a thick liquid-like state, smoke-like state, or as a state of matter in between the two). The shadow in this form can be thrown in the eyes of enemies to blind them, or, (Lv.2)(more gruesomely), used to choke or "flood" enemies. Ability to lift (into the air) and manipulate tangible shadows without physically touching them becomes available at Lv.2 as well. See "Shadow Conjure".
Shadow Meld (Lv.1) Related to the above abilities; the ability to cloak oneself (or objects) in shadow like a blanket for concealment or to hide from sight, usually by wrapping the shadows around him, or by sinking into the shadow as if it were a deep puddle. Terran can see through these shadows, but he can be found if he is stumbled over or bumped into (if he is not inside the shadow), or if the shadows are repelled or extinguished by a source of light. Shadow must be large enough to hide within. Ability to move within shadow. Terran moves through shadows at his regular speed (risking being seen or loosing his cover), or slower (to keep his cover), and the shadows must be connected (overlapping or joined) to travel through them. (Lv.3) Travel through shadows quickly, as if to disperse and teleport from one shadow to another. This ability includes being able to connect two visible shadows as if they were portals. (Lv.4; max.) Ability to physically become like a shadow. Grants caster the ability to dissolve/travel as a mist-like smoke and reform in another close visible location. Blades would cut through the caster as if they were cutting through smoke.
Shadow Capture Bind; Related to Shadow Meld. (Lv.1) Ability to immobilize or hold a person or object in place through it's shadow. (Paralysis/immobilization). The strength of this ability is relys on the caster's physical strength to hold or manipulate a target. Caster must have line of sight to use this ability. Caster's shadow must overlap, or be connected to a shadow that overlaps the target's shadow. (Lv.2) Ability to move/manipulate a target's movement by force through their shadow. (This ability may be regarded as an extension of Lv.1, but it becomes easier to manage at Lv.2) (Lv.3) Advanced Shadow Capture: Shadow Prison. The ability to draw/pull a target into the shadow below them, much like the ability to shadow meld, and trap them in the darkness. Shadow must be connected to the caster's shadow, and is essentially drawn into the caster's shadow. Caster will enter their "shadow prison" if they meld into their own shadow while a target is captured. (The prison is considered the caster's domain, and the caster can see the target through the darkness while within their own prison.) If this spell can be countered or broke, it may cause damage to the caster. (Lv.4 Max) Advanced Shadow Prison: Consumption. Draws energy from the target trapped within the shadow prison. Causes necrotic damage, and can heal the caster by consuming the energy of the prisoner. (slower, but similar to the effects of blood without the boost in physical strength.). ("An eye for an eye, as they say")
Shadow Conjure (Lv.2) Ability to create/conjure tangible shadows out of thin air. (See tangible shadow). (Lv.3) Ability to conjure/form solid objects out of shadow. These solid objects are generally created in groups (multiples of about 4-7 at a time), and they are sharpened spikes that the caster then launches at a target as a projectile attack. (Lv.4) Conjure obsidian swords of shadow that behave in much the same way as the previous spikes, but they are stronger and more durable. (Lv.5 Max) Extension of the Lv.4 Shadow Conjure ability (is available at level 4, but requires practice to master [hence, Lv.5]); conjure/create an obsidian shadow blade to use as a weapon in battle. The caster, with sufficient control, can change the blade from solid to shadow and back at will (although it is unclear of if the blade is truly returning to a solid state, or if it has simply been replaced instantly by a newly conjured shadow blade). Requires skill to use a sword effectively.

[NPC]
Fenrir "Fen" (last name, if any, tbd) Age: Unknown (appears to be early 20s) Height: Weight: Race: Vampire
Has an excellent sense of humor. Magic feels like it would be more Arcane than dark, but he (as a member of the undead) does have an affinity for darkness and a weakness against radiant/holy/light magic.
Yulia was a victim of Fen's desire. He may have charmed her into letting him walk her home and taking the back alleyway, but he did take advantage of her and drain her of her blood (took her innocence and her life-blood) before leaving her to die of blood loss. By some miracle, she survived and months later Terran was born. She kept him because when she held him, she realized that the child was as much a victim as she was, but she suffered severe PTSD over the incident, which only got worse as he got older and began to resemble his father more. Eventually, she took her own life, unable to handle the fear and stress of what happened. Its really dark, but it works.
Fen isn't pure evil, he's just... selfish. He'd kind of a trickster-type kind of guy.
