DEMentia

I seriously love how this came out and I have to thank Smiz ( ~storymaker12 ) for helping me think of a design.

This is Number 86, Demetri's alter-ego transformation. Demetri is Agent 86 in a demon-slaying organization known as Section HE-11, which he eventually has to retire due to the fact that he's slowing becoming a demon himself. The reason for this is that he was imprisoned in a magical amulet connected into a pocket dimension where in order to survive he had to feed on the blood of the demonic creatures that were there (due to him being a vampire, ya know). Over time, he grew an insatiable thirst for monster blood and as such, he has the ability to harness monstrous powers that amplify his own vampiric transformation. Unfortunately, it is almost like a drug for him... effecting his body and psyche long-term.

To trigger this transformation, he must feed on monster blood or have Rusty inject him with his own blood.

Although Demetri is generally patient, stoic, sarcastic and laid-back, Number 86 is impatient, illogical, ruthless and has a cruel sense of humor. He's also always hungry. This does not mean he's feral or incapable of sense. He retains a slightly warped mentality, but his emotions control him more than thought. Rusty is there to balance that out.

Number 86 doesn't speak much, and is rather enigmatic when it comes to reading him. He is capable of speech though, but it sounds so low and demonic that the sound can incapacitate any hapless mortal with fear. Well, that and he looks pretty freaky anyway.
