Vlad

== History and Lore ==
Vlad is Apoinsettia Stream God-Tier. 
When Vlad first entered the scene, as one of the Newcomers in the Alley School Subcolony, Apoinsettia talked a lot of ish about him, causing Chat to revolt against the streamer. Unlike Apoinsettia, Chat was instantly captivated by Vlad's splendor, and a miraculous feat of internet glory occurred as everyone in Chat instantly understood his name to be Vlad, despite Apo cluelessly insisting otherwise. Apo maintained there must be an "official naming" (otherwise referred to as a poll), but much to Aposettia's own chagrin, even he was affected by the magnificence of Vlad's aura and started referring to him as Vlad long before the poll ended (in a landslide victory for Vlad, naturally).
For reasons unknown, whenever Apoinsettia spent any amount of time away from Vlad, his love for him would wane. This was not an affliction suffered by Chat, who became devout Followers of Vlad almost instantaneously and at no time has their love of this perfect specimen of a cat faulted. As Apoinsettia continued to talk more-ish about Vlad, Vlads following grew, leading to the birth of Vladism. 
Like many stars which burn to bright, Vlad vanished into the unknown almost as quickly as he became a fan-favorite. It is rumored that Apoinsettia's ploy to separate him from his noteworthy and extremely prominent pom-poms may have been the reason for this disappearance, but true Followers of Vlad support the theory that it was Apo saying that he was really starting to like Vlad that prompted Vlad departure from the stream. True Followers of Vlad, however, believe that like all legends, Vlad will rise again. 
=== Personality ===
Vlad was your typical Russian Spy-Cat - weary of Apoinsettia, but comfortable among his own. He was the first of the Newcomers to muster the kahunas to venture within an arms length of Apo in search of food, which makes sense, since he had the biggest balls ever seen on an unneutered male. He showed much more affinity for the Newcomer cats than he did for the original School Subcolony cats, and may have been a leader among his group. The other Newcomers started eating with Apoinsettia soon after Vlad demonstrated it was safe to do so, making it possible for Apoinsettia and Chat both to get to know this new group of cats, and even rescue and home a few of Vlad's family. 
=== Appearance ===
Despite the innumerous lies, all which can be traced directly back to Apoinsettia being the source, Vlad was a beautiful cat, with grey fur, and assumed to be a Russian Blue. His eyes were yellow and he had a relatively narrow face for a male cat. He had a wiry and muscular build, and walked with a swagger that Apoinsettia wishes he had. Vlad had a stern face, which would often look like he was judging you, and he probably mastered the half lidded gaze of disinterest long before Billie Eilish made it a snapchat trend. Oh, and Vlad had really huge gonads. Like NSFW.
