PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Adelis has strong psychic/psionic abilities, being 'blessed' with them since childhood. As a Soulknife Rogue, he is able to manifest psionic magical knives with his mind alone, which disappear after use and deal psychic damage. He is also capable of telepathy, teleportation to wherever his blade lands, and weaving psychic static to make himself invisible to the naked eye. These abilities stem from a deep connection with the dead, and come with caveats; these abilities occasionally come with psychic residue of the dead, and in areas thick with spirits, he is vulnerable to crippling headaches. For those used to seeing the dead or such things, it may be easy to notice the faint marks of a specific spirit clinging to him, but it doesn't seem inclined to show itself.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Not magically inclined himself besides his psychic capabilities but he is cursed by an Arch Devil, being unable to retain body health by himself and sacrificing his constitution for however long he does not touch another individual. Flesh or warm-bodied does not particularly matter, as long as it's another 'living' person. His body heat will return to normal after a while of contact, and it will remain for roughly half an hour after separating. While not his favorite, it makes him feel unwell and more prone to a bone-chilling cold the more days he goes without (despite his undead status), so he tries to keep this up at least once a day if he can help it.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Adelis is, physically, dead. His heart doesn't beat, and he doesn't need to breathe. His shadow is known to flicker if watched. His skin is cold, but due to a rare circumstance of his cursed affliction clashing with his Dhampir status, he is able to regain and retain body heat like a normal person when touching others. He also has to sustain himself by draining psychic energy in the form of emotions from other people, through the mouth, usually in the form of a kiss. This heightens the emotions of whoever he drains from, whatever they may be (fear, despair, happiness, etc), and runs the risk of causing death/braindeath if he goes too far. Luckily, however, he has an insane amount of utterly petty determination and spite, and only takes what he needs to avoid tipping himself into pure vampiric territory. He also has Darkvision, being capable of seeing in the dark in shades of grey.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Ostoya is rife with triggering concepts, due to it being a godless, lawless land full of pestilence and despair. There are rather graphic descriptions of gore, mentions of child death, torture, etc. Adelis' also comes with uncomfy pseudo-familial descriptions due to his 'Sire', although he despises this. If there's anything you'd like to avoid in particular, please let me know. On that note, Adelis will not react kindly to being put with any vampires. Salty vampire spawn/dhampirs, well, he might side-eye but they have common ground. Actual vampires...he has Bad History.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: Fair-skinned, with thick back-length strawberry blond hair that faintly sticks out akin to a lion's mane. His eyes are blue, and tend to flicker pink when using his psychic abilities, with sharp eyebrows and a set of round glasses with gold frames sitting on his nose. Despite being on the shorter side and deceivingly slim at first glance, he's well-toned from a life of physical labor with incredible dexterity aside. Prefers heels to adjust his height, and tends to dress on the more put-together side to create an image of someone who takes care of himself (corsets, laced boots, waistcoats, etc.) Wears a pair of black leather gloves to cover the fact his fingers are stained a gradient of inky black, with his nails relatively sharper. His arms are covered in faint scars and remnants of bite marks, with a burn scar on the back of his right hand that seems to be covering up a tattoo. He has permanent shadows under his eyes as a more recent development, making him look fairly exhausted, and his canine teeth are sharp and pointy in classic vampire fashion.
AURAL: A deceivingly soft, medium-high measured voice that gets hard and grating when angered. Faint Russian accent.
OLFACTORY: Black licorice and cedarwood. Faint undercurrent of blood. Those accustomed to the smell of death may notice he carries it, but covers it up.
DEMEANOUR: Calculating, cautious. While he can put on an well-mannered businesslike act for his work, outside of it, his tongue is sharp, his language foul, and his critiques blunt and scathing. Not afraid to voice his opinion no matter what, and prefers to do things on his own, but operates on a 'help me, help you' basis. Does not take kindly to being crossed or taken advantage of. Has mellowed out somewhat to his dhampirism, and despite his standoffish personality, doesn't terribly mind company so long as they're intelligent and not grating to the nerves.
