Shapeshift Form: Opossum
Appearance:
HUMAN: Nolan stands at a mere five foot, and is very, very skinny. He's exceptionally pale, as he stays indoors most of the time, and has platinum blond hair cut in something similar to a bob. He dresses almost exclusively in dark, creepy clothing - typically black hooded jackets and black pants. He's also rather fond of top hats and fedoras, and will wear one with non-hooded coat. His more casual wardrobe is less classy, but still dominated by black. His eyes are hazel, a mix of green, gray, and blue. His hands and fingers are slender, and he often waves them around in overly dramatic gestures. Usually, an eerie smile can be found on his face, but it appears less the more you get to know him.Personality:
ANIMAL: Looking like a typical Virginia opossum, Nolan's black markings are a few shades darker than normal. He's also a lot smaller than a full grown 'possum, looking more like the size of a kitten.
In short, Nolan is a very, very creepy child. He's soft spoken, unusually mature and eloquent, and seems to pop up out of nowhere. He also has a habit of making "haunts" (as he likes to call them) out of typically creepy places, like graveyards or abandoned buildings. (His parents limit his ability to go to any of the latter, however, because there are serious health and legal issues. No other reasons.)History:
He's a big fan of the supernatural as well, such as ghosts and monsters, which only adds to his creepiness. He seems to try his damnedest to BE one, as he stalks and sneaks up on his (very few) friends mercilessly. He's the kind of person who enjoys making other jump in fright, though he really doesn't like it when people start screaming.
Surprisingly, he's a nice - albeit sadistic and eerie - guy to know, and is more than willing to help in anyway he can. His methods, unfortunately, are far from normal, and might end up hurting the situation more than helping.
Despite his maturity, intelligence, and really-friggen'-creepiness, he's still a kid. If someone pushes him hard enough, he will react strongly, usually by lashing out violently. He doesn't handle anger well, and will brood on something for days on end. On the other hand, he's very easy to get excited, and it's not very difficult to get him to laugh. (His laugh is also kind of creepy - it ranges from "evil overlord" chuckling to high-pitched maniacal shrieks.)
On a final note, Nolan has incredible patience. He will wait for you...and wait...and wait...
Shockingly, Nolan's family and past are both quite normal. He didn't grow up with the Munsters or Addam's family, as people suspect, but instead grew up in a family of four in a quaint coastal town. Their neighborhood was sleepy and old, with Victorian houses and lots of creepy places to hang out. Nolan loved playing in the creaky houses of his childhood friends, as well as exploring the more mysterious, spookier places in the town. His parents accepted this with smiles, encouraging his growing passion for all things creepy.Sample:
A little while after Nolan entered elementary school, about fourth, his parents decided to move out of the little town and to a place where there were more children, and a modern atmosphere. Nolan wasn't upset about this, as he adored the style and history associated with his home, but was forced to consent either way. They picked Shelpey Alley for its proximity to water, as well as its reputation as family friendly. At the end of Nolan's fifth year, they left for Shelpey.
Soon after moving, Nolan's little brother Andrew was born. Nolan immediately loved the idea of being an older sibling, and has tried his hardest to make his baby brother happy. Andrew has come to accept his brother's creepy ways, and they enjoy doing activities together, whether they be to Andrew's preferences or Nolan's. Another surprising thing is that the family often takes vacations and such, usually camping trips or hikes. Nolan is quite adept at outdoor activities.
Due to his unnerving behavior, Nolan has yet to be fully assimilated by the Shelpey community of teenagers. They all mostly avoid him, but feel free to approach him.
Other:
Darius is his best friend, and main victim. Neither of them are aware that the other is a shifter.
Nolan likes to sneak out at night as an opossum, and then go exploring. His parents, while oblivious to his shifting nature, know about his late night missions, and let him due as he pleases. They aren't very strict in this regard.
