[attr="class","appbold"]PERSONALITY:
- in the near two hundred years he's been around rene hasn't grown aged wisdom so much as a remarkably deluded sense of importance.
under the superhero alias the king in the late 70s and 80s the vampire was known for impeccable charm, ladykiling skills and otherwise slick smooth media image; a stark contrast to what he's like at vireximus university. insincere, sleazy and very much egotistical, talk with any agent in the sponsor business when rene was around and you'd get one definitive answer: any hint of this ex-hero being something genuine was wholly exceptional marketing. that being said, rene would scarcely let anyone forget his past. he'll regale on his glory days if you give him any kind of chance.
despite this self-centred nostalgia, rene's social and complimentary towards others. a people person he initially seems candid where there's someone, particularly multiple people, to impress. talkative, and relaxed around people and quite level-headed, rene makes working with people seem almost effortless.
probably because if being chatty did involve effort rene probably wouldn't do it. he's lazy and takes zero shame in the fact he'll do the bare minimum to get by. it's no surprise that his attitude towards classes at vu is aiming no higher than a pass for each class. alongside that, it seems rene takes a similar approach with people; while he's talkative and praiseworthy to begin with he doesn't seem to care about keeping relationships. additionally, his flattery is all it is really - flattery, blasé about actually meaning well when it comes to interacting with people, as well as needlessly flirtatious.
furthermore, rene's snobby and self-obsessed; sure, he'll make nice with other people but he likes to think that's the end of the compassion he has for most alive humans when he feels quite a few levels above them. he likes to pick and choose who he associates with and has the gall to be genuinely surprised when people don't find his elitism flattering. make no mistake, though, his pretentiousness doesn't stop him from acting clingy. while rene usually embraces his old age as a convenient excuse to do nothing he's otherwise insecure about being out of touch yet desperately clinging to whatever glory he had. in doing so, he's desperate cling onto anyone he judges as worthy in the hope they'll recognise him too.
essentially, rene's sentimental. while paranoid about seeming like a relic of a past era he still continuously emphasises his past and age as evidence for anything. feeling out of place, and the possibility of feeling out of place for eternity, is not something rene likes to think about. he feels sympathetic towards a lot of the students at vireximus university, more caring then he would like to admit. on the other hand, rene thinks of himself as trustworthy; he'll take something to the grave. whenever that may end up being, anyway.

[attr="class","appbold"]HISTORY:
- antoine rene leroy was around well over a hundred years before the first wave of sponsored superheroes. raised in south-central louisana, a cajun born in the bayou, his background was understandably less caped crusader glory days. while he was indolent, as the oldest he accepted some degree of responsibility. rene never considered leaving until his younger brother left for new orleans several days before rene's wedding. four years later, rene followed to new orleans where he was sired into vampirism through sheer cosmic accident.
from then on, rene has very little on record as a member of the undead. to begin with he was mostly antagonistic about his newly gained immortality and retreated into isolation for the rest of that century. the 20th heralded him having to leave louisiana for good after some “complicated” circumstances but ones he's now grateful for: it forced him to interact with other humans again. while his efforts were first hampered by a stubborn refusal to learn english by the time powers and superheroes were accepted rene was fluent. the rather unique state of vampires - and their reliance on human blood - made mainstream acceptance quite a challenge but soon enough, through the assistance of a remarkably talented agent and manager at his sponsor company, rene found his place as a successful hero of the 70s and 80s. he's made his own hall of fame in his new york apartment, a terrifying narcissistic shrine to himself.
rene retired in '89 following an argument with that manager but in 2013 he's eager to get back in the field. this is partially because he spent the last twenty years wading himself into tremendous debt and alongside the fact that his previous sponsor finally stopped paying his pension. understandably, they were worried that their continuous payments to an ageless being of the undead might develop into another scandal. right now, rene's studying at vireximus university as a mature student in the hope that his previous sponsor company see fit to take him on again.

[attr="class","appbold"]POWERS:
- VAMPIRE PHYSIOLOGY: as a bonafide member of the undead, rene gets two relevant benefits: semi-immortality and enhanced condition compared to that of a human. semi-immortality entails agelessness; his body is incapable of ageing, as he is incapable of dying through old age. however, he's still susceptible to mortal wounds. enhanced condition means he is capable of remaining in peak physical condition with enhanced strength, speed and keener senses compared to that of an average human.
otherwise, rene possesses retractable fangs as his powers rely on draining human blood for sustenance. he needs to regularly consume in order to maintain his enhanced condition. additionally, he is weak against natural light. while it's not to the level of disintegration, rene's is hyper-sensitive in the sunlight, not only giving him super sick sunburn but crucially fatiguing him with longterm exposure. sunglasses and an umbrella can only provide so much of shade. - BAT SHIFTER: rene is capable of shifting into a bat, a transformation closest resembling a black flying fox. in this form he is capable of flight of speeds up to 25 miles per hour and enhanced smell and sight. he is not capable of echolocation as other species of bats are. there are no adverse mental effects of shifting aside from fatigue in periods of long use.
