Abilities

Maurice must consume fresh blood directly from the source in order to use his powers and stay lucid. Every time he uses a power, it uses up some of his bloodsource. The longer he goes without blood, the more his vampire nature comes to the surface. However, he will also be weaker. His vampire drives try to kick in before he gets so weak that he can't catch food for himself. He will become foggy-headed and forgetful when he's close to dried out and his vision is highly affected, narrowing down into a tunnel.

The blood he drinks must be human. While it may sate his hunger, it will not nourish him if he drinks the blood of animals. Even when well-fed on cow's blood he will still act as though he's starving. Trying to be 'vegetarian' vampires often ends up with un-trained fledglings going feral and getting hit by cars or trains.

Maurice's form is malleable, though so far he has only learned two shapes: bat and dog. His red eyes and fangs carry over to these forms along with his pale skin under the fur. Also he's bright yellow.

Maurice can see in the dark as well as a living person can see during the day while wearing sunglasses. He can pick up scents (though he may not understand them) like a dog. He can hear heartbeats across a room. Shrill sounds like bells, whistles, and vacuum cleaners can incapacitate him.

When fully fed, Maurice has the strength of ten men. It scales down the less blood he has in him. The strength has to be consciously summoned, but accidents do happen.

With focus and prolonged eye-contact, Maurice can give orders to others. The orders appear within their own thoughts as though they're their own ideas. He doesn't practice this skill much as a moral thing. It weirds him out.

Maurice has the ability to climb up walls and crawl across ceilings like a lizard.

Maurice casts no shadow and doesn't have a reflection. He is able to conceal items that are small enough to fit in his hand, otherwise they will appear as ghostly floating objects in mirrors. His clothing doesn't show up. He doesn't appear on film and when talking on the phone his voice is distorted somewhat. Obviously in RP games with a network function, some of these things are null because otherwise it'd be hard to play ahaha.
