Title: Malicious Missionary of the Church of Voguish Rogues

Species: Vampire

Abilities:Vampiric Curse - The curse of the vampire bestows many ill and beneficial effects. As for the beneficial ones, these enhance his natural five senses to being peak condition, while bestowing him the endurance and strength of many men which is to that that of superhuman qualities. His endurance lets him regenerate slowly over time but retaining scars from rather serious injuries. And the endurance also keeps him from dying as long as it is not via the natural light of the sun, a stake through the heart or being soaked to death via holy water, and regenerates slowly over time but retains scars from rather serious injuries.
Lord of the Crawling Night - Like many Vampires, Mister Harding has the ability to telepathically command and understand nocturnal creatures, these include such creatures as bats, wolves and rats.
Vampiric Touch - Vampires need to feed and they are very good at it; Gary has a wicked set of canines and can latch on hard to targets to satiate his eternal bloodlust. If he drains enough blood, he can turn them into spawn creatures who serve him much like nocturnal creatures instinctively do.
Shapes of the Sinister - Gary has the ability to turn into the forms of a bat, a wolf, and that of mist while retaining the ability of speech. As bat or a mist, Gary can fly as he needs, while as a wolf he is a bit faster than usual. The mist kicks in automatically when he has taken wounds that would kill him but due to their nature don't actively kill him.
Craven Climbing and Weaseling - These abilities involve the ability to move about on any vertical surface with ease or going through small holes while seemingly retaining his appearance.

Inventory:The Dastardly Book of Dick - This is Gary's most prized position; an obsidian tome kept firmly shut by a red lock keeping human-hide pages safe from damage. It has been enchanted to always return to Gary and can weather any sort of beating thrown from it. This is his unholy book.
Coffin - Gary keeps and maintains a lovely oak coffin, which he always gets varnished on a weekly basis. It is filled with, and surrounded by, his ancestral soil and will respawn in it if he is killed in a manner that isn't a stake through the heart, the sun, or holy water.

Sample Post: The day had come, that day that pretty much every student had feared; mid-terms. These frightened even mundane students, but they had a more sinister meaning in Hell. And Gary, he did not study at all for them. It was less due to a cocky arrogance, but rather due to the tenacious and steadfast belief to the values held in the Dastardly Book of Dick. He had read the unholy grimoire night after night every day and had taken in its values knowing full well how he was going to succeed in these mid-terms.
He was gonna cheat like a motherfucker. Harding stood at a pulpit holding the Book of Dastardly as he stared at a collection of rats and bats. With a great pride he rose the book high above the pulpit as he began pacing back and forth, now it was time to begin the ceremonial speech.
"What is it that truly matters in life, or unlife as the case may be? Is it success? Is it money? Could it be fortune? Fame? No. These values are lies that have been spread by individuals who have lost faith; who have lost what it truly means to be evil. It is not about success, as many of the greatest villains, nay ALL the great villains lost when the big moment came. Money? Money is but a tool, a tool that blinds us from seeing the forest from the trees. Fame? Fame is fleeting, temporary, you might be the big shot villain one day but the next day a new generation will come who will outshine you. No what truly matters..." Gary extended his arms out wide and smiled.
"Is evil, for the sake of evil! CHEATING JUST TO LET THEM KNOW YOU CHEATED! IT IS ABOUT STYLE, PRESENTATION! WHAT MATTERS IS BEING EVIL JUST TO BE EVIL REGARDLESS OF THE CONSEQUENCES AS SAY THE UNHOLY WORD OF DICK!" Gary clutched his fist and began laughing maniacally.
"NOW GO MY PETS! COMMIT ATROCITIES FOR THE MERE SAKE OF IT!" • Other: He compulsively counts small objects if thrown near him, cannot cross a running river or enter a place of residence without permission at least once.
Evil is all around us.
