Erastus

Nickname: Eras (air us) (full name pronunciation is er as tus (as like astute))

Eras is a murderer and chooses to kill by first entering a romantic relationship with his victim and then killing them when they're happy and comfortable.

He does genuinely intensely love the people he kills, for the time he knows them. He's very deluded and believes that being able to kill his lovers is a very intimate and sensual experience. A high honor. He believes he's "immortalizing" them as they are at their best, happy and in a loving relationship. So when he kills them that's the memory that will remain. He's also a shapeshifter and his primary shapeshifted form is a bulldog!

Fun facts:

-Trans man! He chose his name bc it means "beloved"

-He's had top surgery but isn't on T or is on a very low dose.

-Dorothy from the wizard of oz/betty boop esque tone to his voice

-Obsessed with romance and romantic love

-Unhinged, sometimes people can tell there's something a little....off? About him. But he doesn't seem like he could hurt anyone and in fact comes across as a little naive, so most think nothing of it

-Very passionate and affectionate

-Generally pretty cheery

-Keeps a diary where he details things about his victims, like what he liked about them. How pretty their eyes were, how light it made him feel when they laughed, etc. He feels this is another key to properly immortalizing them

-Views his relationships as both a romantic relationship and a predator/prey relationship. He can't kill unless he understands his prey on the level that a lover does
