[attr="class","appbold"]PERSONALITY:
- Though not overly loud or obnoxious, Bartleby is the talkative type. He likes talking a lot and when there's an awkward silence he feels a heavy need to fill it up with some sort of ice breaker or just say random things. It's rather ironic that Bartleby is like this when he's constantly striving to be that iconic stoic type when reality he's just not. He's also extremely clumsy with his words and just pukes out random and off topic thoughts nearly every time of the day. He's very self conscious about it though, struggling to bounce back only to make the situation worse or just blatantly saying, "Did I just think out loud?"
Being the main reason he's even in the school, Bartleby is also rather fond of the whole justice and protecting others, and of course the title of being called a hero that comes from the act of good deeds. In a way he wants to be like Batman from the comics, who is a true hero at heart but looks to be more of an antihero by others. He was passionate about it for a while especially in his freshmen year, but it has dwindled down as laziness overcomes him along with a returning shift if interest towards appearance.
Bartleby is also rather prideful, though mainly with just his outer appearance. He takes any praise towards his looks way too much, especially when it comes to his prized hair. However he does have a bit of a right to be prideful as he goes to great lengths to look spectacular. He's just too prideful about it and will even rub into other's or boast about it when it's unnecessary. Thankfully the man isn't cruel when it comes to insults or criticism when it comes to his outfits. He's only phishing for compliments so insults become white noise, with the exception of his hair. It's his iconic signature to him and talking smack about it will only get you smacked in return.
Putting pride aside, Bartleby is still caught on being that good guy that just looks like a bad guy. Sadly with his lack of restraint of spitting out his every thought, the next best solution is seclusion. It became an easy thing for him but loneliness. There are times that when he is with other he manages to do something or say something cool. The tricky part is not ruining it later by his baubles.
Over the period of time he's spend in Vireximus, Bartleby has picked up a few nasty habits like smoking and binge drinking. After some struggle he's learned way of avoiding and correcting some of these habits, but the main result is that he's learned he has an addictive personality and can get so hung up in one thing. Which explains his heavy detailed attention to his clothing and accessories.

[attr="class","appbold"]HISTORY:
- Bartleby has had quite a fun life so far. From birth he's been frightening the world with his strange true form, that even his father faced an ultimate species shock (his mother forgot to mention that she's a chupacabra) from seeing his new born, lizard dog fetus baby....ew. It took a while at that point to warm up to him, in fact 5 years when he gave up seeing his son struggle to develop his ability to look human for his dad. It was a bit stressful for his father especially since he became a stay-at-home-dad and his son always trying to cling to him for attention. But right when Bartleby got accepted by his father, thing really hit off an fast. Though the guy totally a mama's boy being the only person that understands him, Bartleby got a bit of a complex with his dad and even started dressing up a bit like him during his younger years (hence the hair).
It amused his father just how similar the two became at that point. Bartleby is just a little more on the quirky end with his development in fashion during his secondary school years. However later on it was overshadowed with the growing interest of becoming a hero. The spark grew when his mother mentioned the Vireximus school as a suggestion for the aimless guy. The idea came to her as she would watch her son comfortably switch between his two forms and try to publicly show off his lustrous green skin at times. It was a great way to express who he is just the same way as he does with his father, however different issues raised up in this man's life as he debates with himself if he'll make it as a good hero or not.

[attr="class","appbold"]POWERS:
- PRIMARY POWER: Shifting Powers - Being a chupacabra grants Bartleby and other members of his family two main powers. The first being able to shift between forms. Though his human form isn't his original state, many years hiding among humans makes the body think it is. So shifting back to his original form tends to get a little tricky some times. But basically his primary is changing into a humanistic dog/lizard creature. His skin reverts to being coded in a layer of snake like green scales while some parts like around the his neck and back is covered in mangy fur. His face and ears become coyote like and his hand and feet gain large black claws. He also gains black spikes down his spine that go all the way down to his long, skinny, fur covered tail. Sadly some features do not evaporate by switching from his true form to human. This being his sharp fangs and the black color of his nails which he usually paints over to disguise the fact. When in his bizarre "beast" form, Bartleby is easier to be weakened by heat though through his father's blood a bit of immunity has built up allowing him to function in the changing seasons. He's also slightly stronger than humans but only slightly because of the mixed blood, which he struggles to tackle through work-outs.
- SECONDARY POWER: Blood Sucker - Though the need for the adaptation has been lost in his family blood line of chupacabras, Bartleby is able to bite done on anything and suck out the liquid from it. It was an adaptation similar to vampire bats, but then their diets shifted to simply mauling animals, the practicality of it is lost. Though it can be helpful to win in a bet of some kind or make someone dizzy from blood lost (despite the fact that the taste of human blood is appalling to him). The only think Bartleby can gain now from sucking blood is probably being full on iron or something.
