- Heightened senses - Hears human heartbeats/Smells human blood - Superhuman speed and reflexes - Hypnotic influence over weak-minded humans - Can assume the form of a hammer-headed bat - Can turn into a cloud of mist - Lethal weakness to silver - Must be invited into homes; will be forcibly expelled if invitation is rescinded - Burns quickly in sunlight - Insatiable thirst for blood - No reflection or shadow - Can eat and drink human food, but finds that the taste is dulled without human blood to spice it - Garlic hits him like wasabi or horseradish. Not bad for him, but it's a hideously strong flavor that he must brace himself for. - Body fluids such as tears are now blood
Fog Form
Something like this, inspiration taken from the Witcher 3. In the Fog, his face looks less human, and his claws become killing implements.
Upgraded Abilities Earned Via Mana
-Ability to maintain hypnotic influence over idiots and weak-willed folks for longer periods of time -Ability to hypnotize humans of greater intelligence -Ability to hypnotize *ANY* human to do his bidding indefinitely/permanently nudge humans to 'think' they are doing their own will but are under his thrall (Limitations: This can only occur with 1 human at a time; Multiple humans at a time require a 24 hour refresher for a max of 3 humans total). -Ability to hypnotize other monsters to immobility for a limited amount of time (Let’s say 30 to 60 seconds max with eye contact/explicit player permission) -Ability to walk on walls and hang from ceilings like a spider/bat (BAT-MAN) while in normal vampire form
-Pockets of Holding ability acquired on Feb. 16, 2021. Pockets can store an insane amount of stuff. They're full of secrets.
Appearance
- Dull gray, corpselike skintone. Flushes blue. Looks like he's bruised in the face when he's particularly enraged. - Graying, textured black hair with an abundance of whiskers - Deep crimson irises with no light of life. They flash with the photoluminescence of a cat's eyes in the dark with strong emotions and use of his hypnotic influence. - Ear tips terminate in mild points - Canines are elongated into fangs, which protrude over his curled lower lip - No longer breathes - Cold to the touch - Long, black well-manicured claws, often hidden in a pair of gloves
- The power to manipulate his shadow. He can now sow intimidation and fear with a Nightmare Shadow. His shadow can take the shape of the beholder’s greatest fears/nightmares, and twist into forms that are much larger or smaller than possible (example: a person who fears spiders will see the shadow of a horde of spiders). This can be used a maximum of 3 times per day and it will look like a normal shadow to Javert and to third party observers. This can be coordinated OOCly or left up to interpretation by whomever I am playing with. -Single Room in Dyster plus the key -Resurrection inside Dyster after 2-3 days -Instinct for how many days he has remaining until the hunger overtakes him
Tier 2 Benefits/Abilities:
- Judgment Stare Ability: Requires eye contact, can only be used twice per day. The recipient of the stare will be forced to experience the worst pain (or the most recent pain) they ever inflicted on another, both emotionally and physically — to show just how wickedly we all behave. The pain felt is limited to one event committed in the past. - Bigger Room in Dyster: Queen-size bed, blackout curtains, furnishings, storage - Instant Resurrection: Resurrect in Dyster instantly when killed - New Feeding Method: Souls in addition to blood
Tier 3 Benefits/Abilities:
- Wicked Heart Ability: The ability to show an opponent their darkest, worst desires. To do this, Javert needs either eye contact or physical touch. The power would force the victim to see themselves play out and act on the worst, basest, most wicked thing they have ever wanted to do (as a hallucination). This would be done with explicit player permission, and the effect would last no more than 60 seconds once per day MAX. - A house in Dyster, outfitted exactly as he would prefer. It's a dark, European-style home, with heavy window treatments to blot out the light. Rooms are modestly furnished, and the bookshelves are lined with literary and nonfiction examples of monsterkind and monster behavior, as they should behave beneath the Fog's influence. There is a master bedroom and one guest room, a kitchen with the works, and a master bath with a clawfoot soaking tub. He keeps all his most secret, delicate files in his home in Dyster, where he knows he can trust the inhabitants and his fellow followers without concern. Aesthetic post including images that evoke the style of his house will follow. - Immortality. Only destroying his brain or his heart will kill him. He will survive any other wounds. - Increased ferocity and strength and lowered inhibitions while in fog form. Higher inclination to give in to monstrous impulses and heinous acts during the fog. - Alternate monster form: A giant, horrifying bat monster. - Extending the protection of Dyster to Peace Gregory for her service and her role supporting Javert in his duties, professionally and emotionally. As of July to August 2023, protection has instead been extended to cover Hawkeye Pierce.
Priest Benefits/Abilities [Earned November 21, 2020]:
- A Rad-As-Hell Fog Coat. This coat should resemble his usual style, except both the collar and the hemline brushing his ankles will be frayed. When the wind blows, his coat will trail off into the mists. - A whisper behind his voice. The whisper behind his voice emerges during times of extreme viciousness and heightened emotion or for intimidation purposes. He can turn it off when he is exercising his tightest composure. - Command of the Fog at Will. The fog will follow wherever he goes. The fog is thick and dense enough to blot out the light and bring about shadow and darkness where there is none, especially during daylight. Think of it like conjuring a dark storm cloud in his immediate area, no bigger than a city square block.
Spy Cat Familiar, Obtained July 5, 2020
Moineau is a fluffy white therapy cat given to him by Hannibal Lecter, for the purposes of giving him something to calm and ground him every day when he lays to rest. With Mana's aid, he is able to communicate with him and see through his eyes for a maximum of 60 minutes per day, therefore giving him the leeway to send out an innocuous animal where he would likely stick out like a sore thumb (or during daylight hours). It is a way for him to amass and collect information, and to ‘know’ more about what other monsters and humans are up to. While using this ability, Javert will be in a meditative state and vulnerable to attack unless he is careful to sequester himself where he shall not be disrupted.
Cryptid Pig "Monsieur Oink," Obtained April 2022
Monsieur Oink is a ceramic pig made from Javert's ashes. Daisukenojo "Beat" Biito collected his dead body's remains from a Haftesal vacuum and fired it into a pig figurine dressed like a police officer. Javert, enraged by the mockery, went to Mana and purchased the ability to see and speak through the ceramic pig's eyes (in limited capacity -- all the pig will say is "Voulez-vous mon chapeau?") for the purposes of spying on an Elias-aligned gang of boys. Naturally, this idea never goes as planned, and slowly the figurine is achieving cryptid status as it shows up at random fourth followers' doorsteps.
Death One --> February 14, 2020, executed by Wegener the poacher, Sutherland the poacher and 2 nameless poacher allies. No memory loss penalty. Death Two --> October 1, 2020, soul-purged by Slade Wilson. Penalty: Memory Loss of Jean Valjean's place of birth, year of birth, origins, family, and his initial crime leading to 19 years of imprisonment. Death Three --> November 21, 2020, murdered by manticore-Elsa. Penalty: Memory loss of his mother's face.
After 2020 I have failed to accurately track deaths. Best guesses are a handful more, including falling into the vortex during the Monster's Pearl event in Summer 2021, getting killed by his Evil Twin in January 2022, dying of the Hanahaki/Krakaskron illness in February 2022, and turning to ashes when he was vacuumed by Joshua and Beat of the TWEWY gang in April 2022. Whoops!
By May 3rd, 2022, Javert has endured an estimated grand sum of at least 7 to 10 total deaths with the tally from his 'uncounted' deaths (Saw Whale, Vampiric Deaths, Dreamscape Deaths), and, as a result, lost about half of his human life's memories.
- White-tipped black wings (white-winged chough wings as reference), one set - Golden aura focused around his head, neck, and shoulders. Turns a blinding gold-red when he is furious. - Multiple sets of red eyes forming a ring around his head. The two functional pairs are in the front and back. - A thick, jet-black mane running to the tops of his shoulders and the middle of his upper back. It frames the sides of his face like massive whiskers. - Black lion's tail - Does not cast a shadow - Unable to sleep - Becomes incorporeal haze when shrouded in darkness; can maintain his physical shape in moonlight with extra effort - Holy Magic Spells: Purging souls by channeling holy magic into a human and sucking it down for his own nourishment; terrorizing and awing humans into stillness; lightning/plasma magic; creating barriers restricted for Nephilim use
Optional Changes
- A renewed, strong, harsh sense of justice. Doubt will recede to the back of his mind. - Grows to 7 feet tall - Odour of Sanctity: Javert, as a nephilim, will smell like dampened earth/the forest after a fresh rain. It will be very woodsy, fragrant, and masculine. The scent will linger like a perfume for a time after he has left. - Heightened travel speed when others blink/look away - Ability to create a Nephilim summoning sigil - Stigmatic healing
