He knows he’s a freak. Even if he manages to keep the specifics from folks, they always seem able to tell)* Situational Awareness (+2) (fear of discovery + supernatural senses: he’s always looking for trouble)* Empathy (+2): probably not as tasty for his kind as physical pain, but especially on a college campus, there’s more than enough to ‘skim,’ so he’s developed an eye for it.* Magic Magnet (-2): The rather usual trend of supernatural folk who want to lead a normal live: the crazy keeps finding him.* Hard to Kill (+1): An innate knowledge of pain and wounding give Gavin a slight edge when it comes to making sure his vital bits stay out of the path of oncoming swings.Skills (15)Doctor 4 (includes +1 from half-poena epulum quality) Getting Medieval 1Kung Fu 2Notice  6Science 1[/sblock][sblock=background]Raised by his human father, Gavin didn't know about his true heritage until a drunken prom drive ended in disaster. Or nearly so. Though the car was demolished, all four teenagers in it survived unscathed. What Gavin kept from his classmates was his own part in their survival: Overwhelmed by a massive hunger, he had touched them, relished their pain, and only afterwards realized his feast left them all remarkably whole.Gavin's father, however, seemed to know what had happened. He revealed that Gavin's real mother had been a Poena Epulum ("Pain Feast") demon. One of her species' more benign members, she met Joshua Peterson in a hospital after a fire left his body covered in second and third degree burns. She bonded and mated with him in the euphoria of feasting on so much pain, but left the seemingly-human child behind, fearing it would not survive the demonic world.Hoping to control his hunger and learn about his mother, Gavin set off in search of his demon-kin. He found them, nomadic demon medics, 'psychic surgeons', all pointing him West in the search for his mother. There, in Los Angeles, he also discovered the nastier side of the Poena Epulum: sadistic torturers maiming innocents, healing them through feasting, only to torture them further. As might be expected, Gavin fled as quickly and as far as he could.Sometimes, however, running from one problem just gets you to another even faster. Case in point: in Waterloo, Gavin keeps running into supernaturals, including his Art History professor. And, with a recent incident during a lecture, he's found himself tangled up with several others. [/sblock]</blockquote>
