Rhys Vasquez

Rhys Vasquez

## General

Rhys is an ecology major at MHU and a fledgling- a vampire who was only recently turned. He has no idea who turned him or why, just that his childhood fried Colby died on the same night, presumably to the same person.

## Appearance

Rhys has a boyish face and stands about 5'8". After becoming a vampire his brown eyes became a more vivid red-brown, and his brown skin took on a slightly more ashy tone. His canines appear slightly bigger than the average person's, but still within the range of what could be considered normal. When he dips into his vampiric side, his eyes appear red and his fangs become noticeable. He has messy, wavy, short black hair that he puts very little effort into. He has faint freckles and a noticeable mole just below his left eye. Rhys has a pretty average build and is of Spanish descent. His fashion sense is a little old fashioned, he can often be seen sporting sweaters and nice tucked in button downs.

## Personality

Rhys is a lukewarm and mild tempered person who hates conflict and tries his best to go with the flow. He's been described as nerdy and exceedingly average. People discover very quickly that Rhys is in every sense of the word a pushover, and although he wants to be a generally good person, he lacks the spine to stand his ground most of the time. He's drawn towards charismatic and cool people, and enjoys admiring them and will very easily, blindly follow anyone he that fits his image of an amazing person.

## Abilities

Rhys is a newborn vampire and is still getting the hang of his powers. He has much sharper senses than the average person, is generally stronger, and can see perfectly well in the dark. He can probably do a lot of other things, or at least will be able to, but he's quite busy pretending he's still a normal person. He can eat normal foods, but they don't give him any sustenance and don't taste very good.

## Story

### Background

Rhys grew up in Seattle, Washington. His mother died to late stage pancreatic cancer when he was 10. Rhys met Colby Adams in kindergarten and despite being a bit of a weird pair, they remained best friends until Colby moved out of state in 9th grade. Rhys's parents were well to do and owned a computer manufacturing company, and after his mother's death his father threw himself into work and remains distant to this day, though he wordlessly supports Rhys in whatever he asks of him. Rhys decided to go to college across the states in Night Falls for their ecology program...and to get as far away from his family as possible.

After attending MHU for a year, Rhys and Colby met back up in Night Falls, Colby being interested in attending the school Rhys had spoken to him about while the two tried to reconnect after being separated in high school. After they met up, both of them died in a mysterious accident, and Rhys came back as a vampire.
