Fredrick Jonathan Macek-Willard IV

Fang being himself

"*I'm not just any kind of loser. I'm a cool loser.*"
—Fang
Fang (full name on title) is a "wampire" hailing from Avalice, who is a lonely guy who believes himself to be an outcast of sorts.

## Appearance

Fang has grey fur covering his body, his head filled with a clump of hair often combed into a pompadour of sorts. His hands, feet and stomach are covered in short light peach fur. He has large wings on his back, a bright carmine red color. Fang's eyes are a strange case, as they have yellow sclerae with thin, black slit pupils which don't retract or widen at all. He wears (often) a white shirt under a black jacket with a red collar. His front teeth are quite pointy and slightly overgrown, which earned him his nickname.

## Personality

Fang can be best described as soft, polite and slightly effeminate. He's often seen smiling, and has a thing for pop music. He is kinda geeky in certain fields, such as other planets' cultures, primarily Earth, which he gets from his mother. Fang tends to act a bit shy around new friends, but after knowing them, he opens up a bit. He isn't the most mature person around, though. Whenever he sees something he likes, his childish excitement shows full-time, and if something goes wrong, he'll go to great lengths to amend his wrongdoings.

## Abilities

### Innate Abilities

* **Great hearing:** Those ears aren't there for show. Fang has a great sense of hearing, being able to hear his mother's screams from a distance of slightly over 10 miles. It's no superhuman ability, mind you: he won't hear anything beyond that range
* **Flight:** Of course he can fly! What do you think those wings are for? He almost never uses it for transportation, though. He mostly uses it to lift himself up a little if he can't reach up to someone's face.

### Acquired Abilities

* **Shapeshifting:** He learned this mostly through his mum's anime, so it's kinda limited to only turning his wings under his arms, enabling him to fly by flapping them like a bird's wings.

## Skills

* **He can draw:** While not a Picasso, Fang can produce quite beautiful works using only his pencil, his ink markers and colored pencils.
* **Knows quite a bit about Earth:** Granted, he's not a know-it-all when it comes to that, but he's certainly very lectured about what Earthlings do and like (he gets that from his mum! again)

## History

### Where does he come from?

Fang was never actually told this part of the story. To this day, not even I can locate where Fang was born. Some say he was born in the darkest caves, others that he was part of a clan of bats endowed with amazing abilities, but my closest guess would be that second one. Not much is there to say about it, but Fang apparently lived as a spoiled baby within his kin. One day, the young bat somehow got lost.

Did he fall off the cradle whilst nobody watched on him? Or did he simply wander off? Anyways, for the next 6 years of his life, the widdle wampire cub lived all by himself in the woods. He was alone, but he wasn't malnourished. He lived quite a healthy existance in the time he lived in that forest. Sure, he never met his parents, or even his whole family. Not that he was constantly angsting about it, in fact, he didn't care!

### ...And call him Fredrick!

One fresh morning on the forest. The sun was shining and the birds were whistling their little uncomprehensible melodies. And Fang was hunting for food. testing his wings for what felt like the first time. However, some noise caught him off-guard. It sounded like footsteps. But not the kind of footsteps he usually heard. They were notable, steady, it did not sound like skin touching the ground. Who was it? A lynx, female, back then 21, brown hair, limepeel-colored eyes, she was dressed in typical summer garb.

Now, what's the first action to do when you see someone larger than you approaching? Hide, of course! That's what he tried to do. But in doing so, he ended up catching the lynx, named Katsumi's attention. It was like no creature she'd ever seen. "By golly! You're so cute! By far the cutest creature I've seen around here. How about you go home with me?" Young Fang, after a few seconds of doubt, jumped into Kat's arms without further thought. "You'll make the greatest pet. I'm going to call you Fredrick. No, wait! Make that Fredrick Jonathan Macek-Willard. The Fourth." With a few strokes to his bushy head of hair, it took Fang not long to warm up to his owner, and it seemed like they would make a great team.

### Not quite the pet she wanted

Everything went very well throughout Fang's first few months with Kat. He had great food, a top-notch cage with plenty of space and an excellent life partner. It wasn't until Fang began developing the ability to speak, which surprised Kat by a long shot, that the suspicion began arising. Then by the first year, he began growing a bit. By the second half of 2011, Fang was far too large to fit in his little cage, which eventually led to him sleeping on a regular child-sized bed. Fang began to dislike the food that his "owner" was buying him, and preferred that which she ate on a regular basis, y'know, "normal" food. He also began using the bathroom like any other Avalician would. This all led to a shocking revelation for Kat: It began becoming apparent that he was more than just a pet. No, he began acting more like...

...a son. All this time, she hadn't been raising a wild creature, but an Avalician like any other in the planet. Soon, the relationship between Katsumi and her little Fredrick began evolving. She bought him clothes, taught him manners, and even how to read. Fang gradually considered Kat less of an owner, and more of a really sweet, loving mother. By the time 2015 arrived, he knew how to use a cellphone, write and use social media. she never took him to a public school, however. But that's not important.

Now, Fang lives a regular life living in Avalice. His life is a not-worry-much affair, as he thinks he has everything one could want. Not money, not stardom, but simply living as an individual in society.
