**Howie** is a character from "Roadkill" and a love interest.

Don't be fooled by the pretty exterior. This Juilliard graduate is more than meets the eye. He wants to be an actor, for the love of his craft, rather than fame himself. Why acting? Not the backstory you'd expect!

He believes the best way to deal with the horror villains coming to life is to run.

## Appearance

Howie has fair skin and brown eyes. His hair is black and it’s styled with an undercut. He usually appears wearing red and white outfits, and his fashion is described as “athleisure meets chill”. As a ghost in Poe’s route, you can see through his skin. As a vampire in his own route, he has red eyes and fangs.

## Personality

Howie is described as charismatic and dedicated. In Poe’s route, it’s shown that he’s really afraid of the monsters, but it’s also depicted that he’s altruistic, since he sacrifices himself to save his friends.

## Relationships

### Your Character

As one of your love interests, he has his own separate path where you can romance him. In his route, the nature of your relationship is romantic, and you have several opportunities to bond with him. In the other routes, he is a good friend and you respect each other.
