RP PERKS
Residual Dread: Rooms feel colder, quieter, or wrong after he leaves. Causes paranoia and unease.
Crimson Anchoring: Places he spends time in become emotionally "marked"; allies feel safer or more alert in these areas.
Unnatural Recognition: Strangers may recognize him without knowing why.
Shapeshifting: Ability to change forms; bats, dogs, etc.. None of his forms are quite right...
Level Zero Protocol: Automatically activates at 40 HP. His body stops reacting normally: blood doesn't fall - it floats or reverses direction. His shadow separates from the ground, like it's waking up. Shadowy duplicates appeaar and attack on their own.
Cheat Death: Survives lethal damage with 1 HP.
Blood Siphon: Restores health via blood consumed.
