reanimate - ophion

Tada! A new Reanimate to love! Ophion is a resident in the Mephistopheles Center, which is the major hospital, post-revival clinic, and rehabilitation center for Reanimates(Krallekönig works there, and NoName is also a resident). Ophion's a both a post-revival and rehab patient. He's only two and a half months fresh from his revival and has poor control over the effects of his revival mutation.

Ophion's digestive system mutated to a state that can only digest liquified foods without any trouble. Light solid foods cause discomfort and anything heavy will clog his bowels up in a short time. This wouldn't be much of a problem if it weren't for the fact that all Reanimates have a taste for fresh, warm, living flesh. Most get around that by eating food made from lab-spawned humans(genderless, humanoid creatures with intelligence, or much of a conciousness for that matter). This doesn't work well for Ophion because of the solid food problem, and because lab-spawn's blood, while warm, does not have a distinct or satisfying taste when you've already gotten yourself addicted to fresh human blood. On top of that, a Reanimate attacking a human is a serious offense. Reanimates want to keep on good terms with a fine lot of people that will bomb their asses if they make them too nervous, so something as basic(though still, y'know, bad) as assault will get you up to four and a half years of jail time in 23 hour solitary if the human is hurt bad enough. Killing a human(which Ophion has come close to doing, but that's unrecorded in his records), will get you a short week on death row followed by an execution. Ophion's just lucky that he had his blood addiction and short time as a Reanimate to save him from either of those fates.

Ophion's time in rehab is indefinite, when he shows significant progress, the authorities will actually give him a set time period. That could be awhile because after almost a year in his rehab residence, he hasn't gotten past wanting the packets of donor blood that are given to him warmed to human body temperature and he gets banned repeatedly from any outing priviliges because he still prone to attacking and mauling humans(he'll even chew on Reanimates sometimes). He's not really trying that hard to get better, anyways. Ophion considers having his own room free of charge with all the blood he can drink brought to him on a regular basis to be the life, with regular check-ups from a particular, petite Reanimate with a blonde hair, a giant arm, and a cute butt as an added bonus.

How long-winded! To put it simply, Ophion's a vampire without any of the other vampire elements really. He's turns his check-ups with Krallekönig into gropefests right out of a sexual harassment education video every chance he gets. He and NoName get along about as well as cars get along with icy roads and frequently get into fights if they're in each other's presence long enough. Krallekönig is the only one that can calm them down, anyone else who tries gets their asses kicked.

*sigh* Rivalries are fun.

His hoop in his earlobe looks stupid. >_>
