'''Qualities'''

''“I HATE Vampires”'' This dislike started with the ‘goth/vampire’ scene in North Fairhaven as he grew up and flared into full on loathing when the media labeled him Dhampir. He goes after Vampires and demons whenever he can, and certainly does seem to know a lot about them…

''“Power for the Poor”'' In costume Dhampir focuses on the poor neighborhoods. As James, he volunteers at youth community centers to help kids get opportunities their economic background doesn’t provide. He also has a strong dislike for the rich… especially when he thinks they are abusing that wealth.

''“The Element of Surprise”'' Dhampir likes stealth missions where he never has to reveal himself. When on the battlefield he takes full advantage of his invisibility to surprise the enemy and defeat them with overwhelming force and tries to avoid situations where he can’t hide at all costs.

'''Description'''

Wanting to avoid the black and pale color pallet ‘expected’ of a vampire themed hero, but needing a dark costume to help him sneak around, Dhampir’s costume is carbon fiber gray, though strategically placed lines of or orange serve to highlight look and break up his outline. The featureless mask has orange eyes to give him a vaguely menacing look.

'''Backstory'''

Born to an already poor family in that went completely broke when shipyard started shutting down in the 90’s, James’ father turned to crime and spent most of his time either in jail or with his shady friends. James himself became a petty criminal and was in and out of juvie as a teen… even doing a few short stints in prison as a young adult.
Because he was the sort of person nobody would miss, a shadowy coven kidnapped him and used him for their ritual experiments. His memories are distorted and full of pain and horrific images, but the last ritual… what he thinks was supposed to be a full-on possession… failed. With the terrible powers it granted him he was able to defeat a few of his captors and make his escape.
James kept his powers secret and used his invisibility to become a better criminal. It wasn’t until trio of demons started laying waste to the Garden District that he came out of the shadows and reluctantly accepted the role of a hero.

(This might be the same cult or a similar ritual to how Homunculus was made)
