Description: Flan possesses a slight build, and walks around with a meek and confused look on his face. He’s shorter than most people of his age, and has large dark brown eyes that are almost black and short black hair. Flan is usually wearing clothing that is much too large for him, and he seems to have an aura of vulnerability. He is usually playing with something in his hands when he gets nervous, which is quite frequently. Given the choice of clothing, he prefers bright primary colors, like blue or red. His hands are grubby and rough, but still thin anyways.

Name: Flan

Age: 15
Sex: Male

I Otherworldly changed into a: Vampire. As a vampire, he possesses a constant thirst for blood, but he doesn’t quite understand it. Without drinking blood nearly constantly, he feels a slight burning thirst, but it can be ignored. About 30 minutes of this abstinence, his throat will start contracting almost violently. In this state, he is unable to think of anything else but obtaining this liquid - not a pretty sight. He must drink a liter a day, or he will die a rather painful death, but has to consume far more than that amount to refrain from becoming a blood-thirsty monster. Yes, it’s true that he can consume normal food - but as this will do little in relieving his thirst, there is little point to doing so. As a new vampire, unused to it, Flan starts to miss chewing objects though, and has a constant ache in his jaw.

Being a vampire comes with very little physical benefits, such as heightened physical endurance and strength - although not extremely so. It just means that most humans and other weaker otherworldly creatures wouldn’t be able to stand up to him, at least when he’s in a rage. He has a keen sense of smell, but pretty much only when it comes to blood, and can hear a wider frequency range of sound. His taste has also gotten worse due to this change. He can taste very little, except for blood. He can see alright in the dark although he has to squint, and his eyes have that reflective film in the back like a feline’s, often giving them an eerie goldish glow at night.

Personality: Flan is the type of person who puts all of his energy into helping others, and ignores his own well-being. He can sacrifice things that are a necessity for others with a nonchalant air. After all, he’s already been through this much that it doesn’t seem to matter. He wants to meet this Brittle that adopted him, just so that he can gain someone who wants him just as he is. Maybe it’s true that he’s never met Brittle, but he’s sure that their first meeting with be perfect.

He is somewhat too innocent and naive. Not really knowing what terror is, he still holds on his promise to his friends that he’ll come back with presents. He’s willing to do anything that anyone asks him to do, as long as they give him some kindness in return. Flan is used to his hard life and can’t help but think of his new life with Brittle to be perfect.

Flan is somewhat awkward towards people that are older than he was, as he was the oldest orphan in his orphanage for a while. He’s much more comfortable with people that are younger than him, but wants to make new friends. When meeting new people, he’ll probably try in an awkward way to make friends, but cling to them too much. He believes small actions of kindness, such as smiling, are really important and will try to smile at everyone no matter what.

He takes to responsibility quite well, and takes leadership as well, as long as he’s semi-comfortable with everyone that is in the group. When faced with something that seems strange, he will probably take everything in stride. After all, he doesn’t know what life is like outside the orphanage - what life is when you have more than enough. He really likes grape juice for some strange reason, but in the past, he’s only been able to have a cup every Christmas.

Flan cannot understand that people will lie to him. He harbors a fear of being betrayed and ignored, but still… he will believe everything that someone of authority says to him, even though it might not make sense to himself. He has low self-esteem and is prone to putting himself down when he makes a mistake. He will try to follow orders to the best as he can - although he can’t help it if he drops something due to his thin, weak arms.

Fears:
Being alone - He’s been looked over so many times that he no longer feels like a member of society. He has always had friends and people to support him through the rest of his life, but the hurt of being ignored and left there for so many years still cuts him finely. When he makes a friend, he can be quite clingy to try and make them stay with him.
Spiders - Although it might seem like a childish sort of thing to dislike, he doesn’t like anything with more than six legs, because they just send shivers down his spine for some reason. When seeing a spider, he can do little more than backing away, terrified.

Dreams:
Being loved - He’s never really been loved in his life. After his parents left him, there was no one else that stood up and became a parent figure in his life, and he wants to find someone who will never leave him in his entire life.
Eating flan - He’s never before in his life had more than enough. Flan hopes to one day taste the sweet dessert that he was named after. It’d be like heaven, he thinks.

History: Flan was born in a family that didn’t have the money to take care of him. With much sorrow, his parents gave him to an orphanage, hoping that somehow he would be taken care of and helped to have a better life. He stayed in the orphanage, and somehow, as the youngest child there, he was doted on by the older children, but as time passed by, they all grew over eighteen and left. Those of his age were adopted quickly, until only he remained out of the people that used to be his friends. They all promised him that they would come see him and adopt him one day, but no one ever showed up.

More and more little kids ended up in the orphanage - and while some of them were adopted, Flan decided that he was getting too old for adoption and took on the role that the older children had given to him. He started to become an older brother figure for the younger children, and attempted to keep their spirits up by arranging games. Still - he hoped that one day he would have someone that would pick him. It was here that their orphanage fell upon harder times and had less and less money to spare for buying supplies.

Flan took this in stride. He started to eat as little as possible just so that he would give the majority of the food to the younger orphans. He repaired the old clothing that he could find and started to wear that instead, giving his newer clothing to others. And still, no one picked him. Maybe it was because of his always grubby look, as there was never enough money for showers. He did everything he could to get the youngest and weakest adopted, while he looked on with doting eyes, just hoping that when he grew up, he would be able to get a job and help the people who had to stay.

Just when he reached 15 years old, he was taken in by a person named Brittle. He was so happy, but also a little guilty of leaving his friends behind. It was the first time that he had ever been adopted and chosen - but still, he promised his friends that he would ‘come back with presents’.
