He / Him || Vampire (recently turned)
Became a vampire in his mid 30s
Bassist and Yusuke's assistant
A freshly-turned vampire hiding as the bassist of a visual kei band.
Generally friendly and relaxed, but can come off as intimidating due to his height and chill demeanor.
While he is usually quite calm, he becomes more lively on stage.
He loyally follows the commands of the band's vocalist, Yusuke.
Backstory
Previously, Shiki was just a regular musician in an average band that broke up due to personal reasons.
He became acquainted with a strange silver haired man claiming that he was new in town, and pursuing a singing career. Shiki figured he could offer up his instrumental talents to help the man out, and the two began a new band together.
After gaining Shiki's trust, Yusuke bit Shiki, and turned him into a vampire without warning.
Forced to stay in alliance with each other, Shiki now acts loosely as Yusuke's servant and follows his commands loyally. Despite this, they have a pretty good friendship - although it was unexpected, Shiki doesn't really mind being a vampire now.
The two are currently recruiting other members for their band.

Relationships
Yusuke was the one to turn Shiki into a vampire.
They met soon after Yusuke's arrival in Japan, discovered trust in each other quickly, and formed a bond through music.
Despite this, Yusuke knew he couldn't fully trust a human, so he did what had to be done.
Shiki is now the bassist for Yusuke's band and loyally follows his commands, though they also have a casual and friendly relationship.
