Suvic

tl;dr
- psychic vampire who feeds on people's negative emotions and feels bad about that

- trying to find a place he can exist in without warping people's minds

Backstory
- as a result of overabundant ambient magic during gestation, Suvia was born a kind of vampire that feeds on negative emotion instead of blood, draining it away from others around him uncontrollably

- he also felt the emotions during the feeding process, which meant that throughout his childhood, he'd have fits of intense sadness, anger, and fear. neither he nor his community knew why

- due to this and due to his vampirism making everyone content and happy around him, Suvia lived quite the pampered childhood and adolescence, getting everything he wanted easily and never going through much conflict

- in between feeding-induced fugues, Suvia lived contently until adulthood, when he began to question his circumstances. through research, he discovered his true nature. this realization drove him to existential anguish about his place in the world, triggering his spark

- after some time contemplating his options, he eventually decided that how he'd lived up to that point had been wrong and unnatural. as a result, he was driven to find a place where he could truly exist as himself without making people like him

Driving goals
- find a way to shut down his psychic vampirism

- failing that, find a community where he can live despite it

- support himself independently

Personality
- eager to please

- terribly conflict-avoidant, folds under pressure

- cowardly

- has a bit of a martyr complex

- and a tendency to overreact to issues

Metaphysics
- feeding on negative emotions is automatic

- feeds on, among other things, fear, sadness, anger, disgust

- person fed upon feels either only the opposites of fed-upon emotions or no emotions at all, depending on current situation in life

- when feeding, temporarily feels the emotion he's feeding on

- doesn't need to eat or drink, does need to sleep
