Hendrix's human appearance seems to fit his “rock star” persona quite well. He has light brown, messy hair with darker brown highlights that reaches just to his shoulders, and his eyes are a peculiar reddish-brown. He usually appears very clean and respectable, though sometimes he goes with that typical unshaven “I don't give a damn” appearance. In public he's hardly ever seen without a smile on his face and even more often, he has his guitar with him.

True Appearance: red : black scales, white hair : 6'1"

In his true form Hendrix takes on the appearance of a strange, humanoid creature. He bears some resemblance to a sort of lizard and a bird of prey, as his body, eyes, and tail are similar to a lizards, while his snout and feet are bird-like. His scales are jet black, a stark contrast to his bright, white hair that nearly reaches the floor. He's also incredibly thin, even appearing malnourished as his ribs and most of the bones in his jaw are clearly visible. His eye color remains the same, though with a more noticeable red hue. His scales and skin seem to peel away on his hands, feet, and tail, leaving only the skeleton and muscles visible. Despite his slight frame while in this form, Hendrix is actually quite strong. However, he'd much rather leave the fighting up to the Nocturnni. After all, why would he risk messing his hair up?

Trigger

Since he's not like other mythical creatures of this planet, Hendrix doesn't have your typical trigger. However, if you get him angry enough, it gets harder for him to control his psychotic side. Oh, a word of caution: Do not touch his hair!

Personality
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Carefree, laid-back, and maybe even lazy, Hendrix is always looking for a good time. He'd much rather spend the night drinking or chatting up the ladies rather than working some crappy 9 to 5 job. After all, it would be a crime to put him to work doing menial labor. He's too good-looking for that. Or so he believes. Yes, he's incredibly vain as seen by his apparent need to have his hair set just right (he could spend hours on it) and how he'll always stop in front of any mirror or window to make sure that he still looks perfect. Rarely seen without a smile on his face, Hendrix seems to radiate an aura of confidence. He's generally very well-liked, especially by women, and he acts like a sort of “rock star.” A description that is only exemplified by his skill in playing the guitar. Naturally, he has many female fans. Despite his seeming abundance of confidence, when confronted he'll back down immediately, now acting very cowardly and weak. He's even gone so far as to beg for forgiveness.

However, his sweet, lighthearted yet cowardly nature... Is nothing but a farce. Provoke him a little too far, or find yourself alone with him, or hell, just look at him the wrong way when he's having a bad day and you risk meeting the real Hendrix. The one who's... Kinda psycho. The reason why the Nocturne quarantined him. Hendrix is constantly bombarded by sadistic urges. The desire to watch something die. To watch something be tortured; to control their torture. To watch something be tortured before dying in the most inhumane way possible. He's quite good at masking this side of his personality when in the company of others, however, the reason is simply so that he can get close enough to a person to be able to snare them in a trap and torture them to death. That would be an example of what he'd call a really good time. Yes, it's pretty hard to tell if he's planning on mutilating a girl or if he just wants to take her to bed. Or both. Despite these desires, Hendrix prefers to torture his victims from a distance. After all, he'd hate to get his hands dirty.

Hendrix is from a world that most have never heard of. There, everything and everyone appears as nothing more than a shadow and the world is forever bathed in an eerie twilight. Despite it's certainly ominous appearance, the world is actually very peaceful. There was rarely ever any bad blood between the inhabitants (Known as the Nocturne), and wars were unheard of. This was the world that he grew up in, yet as his childhood drew to a close, the Nocturne began to realize that Hendrix was different. Sure, he laughed and smiled like the other children had, but there were times when Hendrix showed another side of his personality. A side very different from what the peaceful Nocturne were used to. Worried about what this boy might become, the Nocturne leaders decided the best course of action would be to quarantine him. To keep him away from the rest of the Nocturne for everyone's safety. Hendrix escaped death only because the Nocturne were too peaceful for their own good. Hendrix on the other hand was... Not so much. After years of living in a cell – which would later prove to have done more harm than good – he managed to seize the opportunity as he was being transported from one cell to another. Easily dispatching the untrained guards, he escaped. After living the life of an outlaw for a short time, he discovered a rip in the fabric that separated the worlds.

In this world, Hendrix has the ability to shift onto another “shadow” plane which leaves him virtually invisible on the main plane, giving him the appearance of nothing more than a shadow upon the ground. While on the main plane, he also has a strange power over the shadows, and is able to control and manipulate them. For example, he can create shadowy tendrils that raise from the ground and attack his victims. However, because they are mere shadows, they won't inflict physical pain, though they can cause mental torture. He is also able to summon small creatures born from the shadows called Nocturnni. Each stands about a foot tall and looks a lot like miniature Nocturne. These creatures are incapable of abstract thought and instead will simply follow the orders of the Nocturne who summoned them.

~An artist's depiction of the Shadow Plane~

Since Hendrix came to Earth, he's spent his time enjoying all that this world has to offer. You know, like the awesome sounds creatures make just before they die. He drifts from place to place, looking for a good time, and once he's had his fun, he moves on to the next place. But now, after all the time he's spent - and oftentimes has been forced to spend - amongst the creatures here, one has to wonder if he'll ever be able to leave this place?
