Phantom
Name: Roman Gregorevich Trentov
Nickname: Phantom
Age: 197
Birthplace: Russia
Sex: Male
Appearance: Phantom is huge, standing at almost 8’ and with a wingspan to allow that great bulk to stay airborne it can be quite an impressive sight, or even a scary one. His wings are a thin membrane and his bones are hollow to lighten the load a little. But still he is quite heavy despite being thin and only slightly toned.
His skin is a very dark grey almost black and granite-y, and because of it he can pretty much blend into the shadows. His eyes are actually a light flecked grey which actually seem quite calm and peaceful. His hair is very long and barely a shade lighter that his skin, it has a tendency to fall in front of his face. His facial structure is almost that of a quite handsome human, though most would never look that close. Almost because as gargoyles tend to do he has horns. Five small ones across his forehead not far from his hair line.
He also has hands that would look human if they weren’t so big or clawed. His feet don’t though; they are huge to help keep him balanced with three large clawed toes. They seen even bigger when you consider he tends to walk on the balls on his feet. He also has a long slender tale to help with balance.
Clothing wise, he wears a handmade tatty jacket with not sleeves that doesn’t really fastest and due to his wings is barely still holding together at the back. Tattered shorts that may have once been trousers, with some dark red material holding them up.
Personality: Phantom is quite the sweet guy, and never really judges people (only vampires) until he knows them. He generally sees the world like he is seeing it all for the first time, and anything truly new will utterly fascinate him.
He has quite the sharp mind and loves to learn new things, or about new things or meet new people – though that one scares him a little because he scares people. He tried not to though and will get quite upset sometimes. If you are nice enough to see past what he looks like and become his friend he will do anything for you and would lay down his life to protect you.
Special abilities/talents: Climbing, flying, learns things quite quickly.
Supernatural Affinity:
Species/Group: Gargoyle
Power(s): Phantom while stone can actually sharpen his senses so much he can either hear or see what is going on around him, though seeing is quite draining. Of course there is the usual gargoyle things too.
History: Phantom was born in Russia to a small clan of Gargoyles that lived on a cathedral. It was very grand and the gargoyles just added to that. Now even though his name is Roman no one ever calls him that, his mother gave him the nickname of Phantom because of his colouring and the way that the shadows seemed to cling to him, and he to them – and it just stuck.
He grew quickly and was soon enjoying the pleasures of flight, he loved it, and even to this day it still remains his favourite pastime. That and watching the human go about their busy lives. As a boy he used to watch them huddle into the cathedral and listen to what the priest was saying, taking it all in. Even though he was stone he would position himself on the roof so he could hear and sometimes see when he wasn’t too tired.
In his teens he learnt about vampires, while meeting one while exploring the city one night. A fight broke out and although he was quite large all his strength and muscles were in his back to aid flight. The vampire was stronger, but he was more agile and managed to escape with only a few scrapes. It was only then his mother told him about the feud between the two races, but said they should be fine as they live on hallowed ground.
Things continued like this for quite some time, he was happy but growing bored. He wanted to see the world, which is not easy when you turn to stone during the day. But eventually his mother told him that if he could hide on a ship he could indeed travel the world.
So off he went, and ended up in Mytreria. Though he’s seen a lot of places before there, it was just a roundabout trip, there was always something pulling him in a certain direction, and since he’s arrived, it’s stopped. He doesn’t know why he should be in Mysteria, he just knows he should and will often listen to the conversation and watch the movements of humans and supernatural alike. He is fascinated. He’s also found a new home on a church. Though much much smaller than the old cathedral, in fact the very large gargoyle stands out quite a bit on it, especially seen as he tends to sleep on the roof just above the main doors.
Flaws:
Clumsy – Phantom is extremely clumsy, after all his years of flying he can not land properly and will often fall over as he does or hit something. But he also trips over his own feet and tail and will whack things with his tail and wings. So just keep a safe distance.
Too trusting – He is very willing to believe that anyone he meets is a very nice and decent person, which as most know that’s not always true and could land him in some serious trouble, it takes quite a lot for him to see that a person isn’t that nice warm fuzzy person he sees in his head.
Vulnerable – During the day Phantom is solid rock and couldn’t defend himself even if he wanted to. Yes rock is strong but it can be broken, in some places quite easily.
Merits:
Double-Jointed – Phantom is rather flexible, which is great for flying close to buildings as he tends to bend around them as close as possible.
Luck – He is also extremely lucky, mostly that he hasn’t broken any bones or smashed up that pretty face on concrete or trees, or anything else he hits. Things usually tend to go the right way, well the little things in life anyway.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Preferred PB (played-by): Travis Flimmel
