LAZARUS

Lazarus is one of the more patient Echoes in the world. Though by all means this does not mean he dislikes the slaughtering of humans and feasting upon their flesh, it only means he's more selective and willing to stalk his prey. He's prone to giving into his predatory instincts and is very possessive of his prey. He's one of a few pact makers, since he lives mostly in the Long Dark and not many humans venture out there he's on the verge of starving. Though he can manage to live a long life still without food, the hunger pains get annoying after a while. He's not above lying to get what he wants, and will often double cross humans he makes pacts with, using loopholes to devour them before the five year contract is up. He will admit he can becomes wistful at times, finding a desire deep within him to take care of someone, and feeling romantic tendencies which he will often simply lavish on his fellow echoes that he is fond of.

Lazarus, before the change, was nothing special. Due to his tendencies to shoplift and lie compulsively, he couldn't really keep down a job. He'd been in and out of jail numerous times for minor infractions, and was severely depressed. He locked himself in his tiny apartment and simply surfed the internet, not knowing what else to do with himself and watching his funds slowly dwindle away. The only reason he knew something was wrong was when his bank account hit 0, and nothing happened. He was't charged for rent, his water and electricity stayed on, as did his heat. Not willing to make calls and find out it was a mistake, he simply wrapped himself around the new comfortable settings he'd acquired and celebrated silently. It was when the internet went down that he decided to find out what was going on. Until he opened his door, and was met with the walking dead that is. He found himself locked in his apartment once more, but this time against his will. He managed to survive for a decent amount of time, until he ran out of food and finally the electricity went out as the town was overrun. He decided to end everything on his own terms, and jumped out of the window.


Well, until an echo managed to grab him from a balcony and devoured most of his organs. He died, he swears he died, yet when he woke up he found himself feeling different, ravenous even. He couldn't figure out why humans ran when they saw him, but figured it had something to do with the large tear in his stomach. He spent most of his time not knowing who or what he was, wondering why there was purple markings covering most of his body, and terribly afraid of the dark. He soaked in the light from the sun and other lamps and such, feeling something within him growing. It took him a while, but he knew what he was when he began to mutate, and soak up energy and manifest it as a weapon. He grew horns, and his features paled. His eyes changed colors, and would even flash red once in a while to let him know he was at full capacity. 


He retains the ability to soak up light and energy and manifest it in the form of weapons, such as swords or energy bullets. Requires electricity, artificial light, or sunlight to properly work.
