Adrian

Adrian is one of the main characters in Dreamland.
==Appearance==
===Current===
Adrian is a shadow-like creature, being fully black colored in skin. He wears a blue sleeveless jacket, a long red scarf (which is actually one of his tongues from a stab wound-like mouth on his torso, which shows as a dark gray line when closed), dark purple shorts, white zig-zaggy arm warmers(?), and white zig-zaggy shoes with some feet claws. He also has giant claws, "horns," sharp teeth, and pure white, glowing eyes. His eyes are usually without any irises, appearing like there is only sclera, but sometimes a scribbled black pupil is seen. He is also chubby and has some fur.
===Old===
Adrian appears to be a shadow-like creature with a blue and light blue sweater with oversized sleeves and a large light blue turtleneck, dark blue pants, mint green and white roller skates with gray wheels, white circular eyes, a white tongue, and black fluffy hair.
===Older===
Adrian had black, slightly long, wavy, and somewhat messy hair and pure white skin. He had blueish-gray headphones (which were sometimes worn around his neck but were oftentimes accidentally left out, especially in art). He had black eyes with red spiral pupils. He wore a green t-shirt (a long-sleeve shirt in older designs) that had a collar. They wore dark, ripped denim jeans. He wore dark green shoes. In some depictions, he had long sleeves, although in others they had short sleeves like they currently have. He sometimes also had a different eye shape.
==Backstory==
===Current===
===Old===
He lived in a house in a forest when he was little, with his brother, dad, and mom, hiding from humanity in order to avoid death since humans (for the most part) are either scared of vampires or hate them. Due to that, they usually attack vampires, causing injuries. One day, his mother came across a group of humans, and they attacked her, making her die. (In ComicTale, Nightmare was the one who murdered her instead.) His father was much more affected than Adrian and his brother, due to him and his brother not understanding what exactly happened. About a year later, he was playing tag in the forest with Carl when he accidentally got lost in the forest. Carl and later, his dad looked for him and couldn't find him anywhere. Meanwhile, Adrian managed to walk to the end of the forest and was in a town.
Years later (high school), he was pretty introverted and didn't like talking to others. He was also bullied, mostly for being a vampire. He was reading a book on top of a bookshelf in the library when he accidentally dropped it on somebody's head. That individual was Coco. Adrian apologized, and they actually became acquaintances after that. They eventually become friends, and then eventually best friends with him, as well as also befriending Nova and Rainbaw. He eventually developed a crush on Sam.

Tongue_scarf.png|Earlier idea for the tongue scarf. The tongue here is wrapping halfway around his torso and coming out the back of his shirt, with the end of the tongue being in the front instead of how it currently is, going straight up the torso and the tongue's end being towards the ground and at the back, making it less obviously a tongue.

==Trivia== 
*Adrian used to have long sleeves in his older design. This was changed due to his outfit being too similar to Colur's outfit at the time.
**Back when Gacha was being used, Adrian used to also have a different eye shape. (See the third image.) His eye shape was changed so they didn't look tired all the time and so he wouldn't look too much like the stereotypical bad boy.
***His personality also slightly changed to be more silly for the same reason as the second reason for his eye shape change (They used to act edgier), although his silliness is a little less present in his current lore.
*Adrian used to be depicted as being best friends with Comet, as seen in the backstory, in videos, and many roleplays.
*Adrian used to be shown to really like Vocaloid and UTAU songs, although this isn't shown much nowadays.
*Adrian used to be depicted like Chinese food a lot, but isn't anymore.
*Adrian was shown to be a good whistler, but this isn't shown anymore in recent iterations of him.
*Adrian was formerly shown to really like birds, but this isn't seen much in more recent iterations of him.
*Adrian stays up really late really often. (subject to change)
*In an old version of the story, Adrian was a prince.
**This might be brought back, albeit in a very different way, and temporarily.
*He is the only character in Dreamland who will not have his name changed.
