Zayiss Noctis

A Zubat boy with a dream of being a renowned author. He is currently in high school doing exceptionally well in his literature and art classes, yet struggles with his STEM classes. He is very theatrical with his actions and manner of speech, mainly to practice and improve his vocabulary for future writing. He addresses himself with a few monikers, including 'Moonlit Scripter', 'Voice of the Night', and 'Quill Feared by the Blade'. Ironically, his handwriting is horrendous due to a combination of writing very quickly and having awful eyesight.

Zayiss is best friends with a Sableye named Sabastian, with the two having known each other since they had started school. They found mutual understanding in both being picked on and always try to come to each others' defense in such a situation.

Zayiss's mother is a shiny Crobat named Coral, whom he loves very much and always goes to for advice. However, he sometimes wishes she would let him do things on his own, instead of constantly hovering over him and wanting to know everything he's doing. He also has a (step)father named Gray, a Gliscor who is just as over-the-top as he is, and avidly encourages Zayiss's literary endeavors. Unknown to him is the existence of his biological father, a Noctowl who passed away from an illness before Zayiss could meet him, and from whom he inherited a talent of guiding other people to sleep.

Zayiss and his family are hematophagous, which is something he is immensely insecure about. The other reason for his theatrical behavior is to distract himself from having to think about his own inherently vampiric qualities, though some of his classmates avoid contact with him because they are afraid of him. He is in the middle of puberty and also very close to evolving into Golbat, which is causing him to hunger for more food more often. He wants to be excited about reaching the next stage of maturity, but is also very afraid of being overwhelmed by evolution energy and succumbing to primal instincts. Zayiss has had nightmares in which he loses control of himself and lethally drains several people.
