Council Slot One: Ozias Alva

If at first you don't succeed, maybe necromancy isn't for you.

Name: Ozias "Oz" Alva

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Faction: Council Member

Appearance: He likes to believe that he got all of his looks from his mother. He has her angular face and her pale skin, as well as the narrow build he's seen her use to slip between crowded tables like a ghost. But there are certain features that he knows don't belong to her, as much as he tries to avoid them. His eyes are much bluer than hers have ever been, and the splatter of freckles across his face is a defining feature that distinctly belongs to someone else. Oz tries his hardest to pretend that they're just recessive traits showing themselves at last through a long train of genealogical variations, but deep in his gut he knows that he can dye his hair as silver as he likes and it won't change the fact that it's not the same as hers.

Personality: The only way the word "demonic" and a picture of Oz would ever show up together in the dictionary was if it was a dictionary of antonyms. Although he tries to copy the mannerisms of demons, he lacks their ruthlessness or cynicism. As a Council member he struggles to perfect his abilities, there's just something about eating souls he hasn't quite wrapped the human part of his head around. It is very easy to write him off as harmless. Even with his demonic blood, he remains more of a mischievous nuisance than a threat to anyone. However, he displays an unusually high level of skill when it comes to climbing and acrobatics which he may have used to break into his boss's house and reverse all of his doorknobs. Not that his mother should ever find out about that. If Oz had his way, he would spend his days curled up beside his mom on their couch binge-watching TV shows and eating grilled cheese sandwiches. But life never really works like that now does it?
