Valentine Degrande

Valentine Degrande is a Local Ghost and part of Class B at Arcana Collegiate Institute.

Appearance
Valentine Degrande, was once forced into service by Professor Kyba, although now he is freed. His wrists are still wrapped in bronze chains sometimes, due to this servitude. He's a distinctly handsome looking man, in his early 20's, although he seems permenantly stuck in the past somewhat. He has medium length, fluffy brown hair, freckled olive skin, and a charming smile that seems to take the hearts of everyone he meets. He can often be seen wearing a suit most popular in 1920's America, although he has taken the time to dye it a shimmering golden colour, and to painstakingly sew on golden sequins. He's around 6,4ft, and rather athletic in figure, looking like something straight out of a film. He even paints his ghostly nails golden, and all his jewelry is golden as well! He is slightly golden and transparent near the ends of his fingers, and legs where he fades away. His eyes are the same gold, as the rest of the details that cover his athletic body.

Valent Amingo, is a terrifyingly tall twink, standing at easily over 7ft tall, leaning closer to 8ft. They have albino pale skin, that is littered with lewd tattoos, scars, and the occasional freckle that helps bring some like to their otherwise completely white tone. If they were not albino, he would also have pale brown skin, and rather dark hair, yet now his hair is a very pale, and short blonde. He often dyes most of his hair bubblegum pink. He has a fondness for the heart motif, and can often be found covered in all sorts of hearts, pinks, and golds. His eyes are pink naturally, but he wears blue contact lenses, to cover this over. He can often be seen wearing black lipstick, with black heels, and black stiletto nails for a downright unsettling combination. His teeth, once blunt, have been carefully shaven down into razor sharp points, his tongue slit and pierced, and one tooth replaced with gold. Creepy.

Scott, is a lesser seen ghost in the strange abomination that is now known as Valentine Degrande. He's a charming looking man, that looks like he's straight out of the pages of a retro magazine. His black hair, is constantly slicked back with far too much product, his eyes are a soft red colour that he accents with his usual clothing choices, of either a black leather jacket, or a red letterman jacket. He always wears ripped jeans, and can often be found smoking when he is freed from his ghostly prison. He's incredibly clearly from the late 1950's, early 1960's with a strong Greaser vibe, that he prides himself on. He has possibly the most athletic build out of all the ghosts, and also stands at a more than adequate 6'4, which he again, can't complain about. He constantly looks almost filtered, not all colours properly showing on his body. Perhaps a sign of the ghosts age?

Destiny Rossi, is one of the few females in the strange group of ghosts, and the age of her is really startin to show. She is constantly surrounded by a black and white glow, and no colour shows on her body except for her red lipstick. She's around 5,7ft tall, and wears soft, velvet kitten pumps pushing her height up a few inches much to her delight. She dresses rather extravagantly, with all the grace of a 1930's actress, her incredibly transparent body covered in silks, and satin, a fur boa wrapped around her shoulders and a pair of opera gloves ever-present on her hands. Her face, is often covered by a masquerade mask, her eyes completely white underneath. Just how old is she? Pearls grace her neck, framed by her long, curly hair that is often pulled back into a loose, yet no doubt practical bun. Unlike many of the other ghosts, she makes no attempts to hide her no doubt dead status, her dress ever so slightly stained in places with what now looks black against her completely monotone existance.

Lex Degrande, is the first, and last of the most commonly seen ghosts, and for good reason. He is tall, elegant and just intimidating to look at, with an aura of wrongness surrounding him. Like Destiny, he is also completely monotone, but it no longer stops at that. Static clings to his body like a broken radio, surrounding the ghost in a strange sort of glow. His grin is infectious and delightfully smug, often showing a pair of sharp fangs, resting on his canines. His hair is thick, and dark, often seen cascading down his shoulders and tied at the very bottom with a bow. He can often be seen wearing high knee, lace up boots, tight trousers and a long flowing overcoat that is very reminscent of the 1920's. He is one of the only ghosts to wear a hat, sometimes he can be seen donning several types of hat for dramatic effect.

Personality
Valentine, is a massive, massive flirt. That is quite possibly the first thing anyone will notice about the man. He can, and will flirt with quite literally everyone, his charm and sauve nature oozing off of him, able to charm people with just compliments, and a wink. He's vain, greedy, and a hedonist of the highest degree, his entire life and nature all about pleasure of every type, from lust, to excess cash, to drugs and alcohol. He sees himself as the star of his own show, the combination of many types of actors taking a clear toll on his personality, as he seems to think he is better and more attractive than everyone else. He is, however, incredibly kind to those he gains a true emotional bond with, willing to risk a second, or third death for them, after a very short amount of time. He has a fondness for pet names, cocaine, and having a good time, and really, he can't complain.

Valent, takes Valentine's flirtatiousness, and makes it an absolute nightmare. He is very, very, very clearly not all there mentally, and it effects his personality quite a lot. They are absolutely, positively unhinged, and it is obvious in everything about him, from how he acts, to how he dresses, to how he speaks. His flirtatious nature, is incredibly morbid, his love for pain and fighting evident even in his compliments. He is a sadomasochist to the highest degree, and finds it incredibly strange that other people don't love violence as much as he does. He can be rather childish at times, often trailing people around like a lost puppy, sticking anything he can in his mouth, and biting first, asking questions later. He has an excellent sense of humour, a rather dirty mind, and a love of all things drama and gossip, searching it out like a moth to a flame. Of course, he can go into occasional, terrified frenzies but then again, who doesn't? It's probably nothing.

Scotty is a fuckboy. That is all you need to know about him. He's cocky, he's smug, he's an overall loveable dickhead who thinks he can still get mad bitches just by offering to take them to a cinema in his way too expensive car. He's a jock at his core, with a deep love for sports, being weirdly homoerotic with his bros, and causing problems just because he can. Did I mention he was smug? He thinks he's the best thing in the world, and also thinks he's possibly the most handsome person ever. Although he is attractive, it really, really went to his head, leading to his now rather obnoxious attitude. Deep down, he can be quite sweet and caring, and maybe even respecting of women, but that is very, very deep down.

Destiny, is a sweetheart, who is a little out of touch with reality. She often forgets what time period it is, and her methods of talking reflect this a lot. She's incredibly polite to everyone she meets, with a soft touch to people who appreciate the songs she hums, and those that respect her views upon life. She is possibly the only sane one out of this entire mess of ghosts, and has effectively been voted the Mom Friend of the abomination that makes Valentine Degrande. She enjoys hugs, women, and music. She may be simple, and a little straight forwards but she likes it that way. She enjoys the little things in life, but can also bring a lot of life to a party. When she steps into the room, somebody will most certainly be getting complained at, should they be making a mess, being a general dickhead, or not respecting women. If by any suprise, she does not, by any meaning of the word, get on with Scotty.

Lex, is a horror movie fanatic. He breathes fear, he absorbs peoples terror like it's the best thing on Earth. Every single thing he does is based around the wonderful art, of acting. He is dramatic, flamboyant, mysterious and calm. He is a ghost of contradictions, but also nothing but sense. Every part of his personality is a carefully layered mask, from the soft, gentle sides of his personality, to the loud and boisterous, to the cold and cruel. He is a person, who takes great pleasure and love about his art, about his masterpiece of living films and this seeps into every action he does. He makes himself seem truly intimidating on purpose, despite his rather camp appearence, just to revel in how people stiffen up as he walks past, the fear in their eyes as the static grows near. Lex, is not a nice person, but he is just charming enough, just cocky enough, that he is almost impossible, to grow bored of.

History
Valentine Degrande, is made up of many, many ghosts. Valent Amingo, and Lex Degrande make up the most promiment parts of the being's personality and appearence and is also the reason behind his new name. All of the ghosts, have very detailed backstory's, so instead, it's DEATH COUNTER TIME.


 * Valent Amingo, starved to death around 2 years before Class B officially began. How and why, he is unsure about. Either way, it's a mess. His ghost, always looks the same, and he always looks incredibly bony.
 * Scott, and his trio of cheerleader girlfriends, got in a car crash after one too many fancy tricks, killing him pretty much instantly. As a ghost, he can sometimes be seen smoking, with bits of metal sticking out of him. Ouch.
 * Destiny, was killed by a murderer not long after one of her shows. She was hardly even aware of the trouble she was in. As a ghost, her dress is stained, and an axe can occasionally be seen poking out of her body.
 * Lex, was poisoned with drugs and alcohol by a jilted lover, before being shoved into a pool until he drowned. He definately deserved it. As a ghost, he can be seen dripping with water, leaving puddles behind, and very sick looking.

Yay! Murder!
