APPEARANCE

Silas is widely considered the most attractive student at Blackthorn High.

He stands tall with a lean athletic build and possesses an almost unnatural beauty that draws attention wherever he goes.

His canines are noticeably sharper than normal human teeth. Most people assume they're cosmetic.

The truth is much stranger.

Hidden inside his mouth is a horrifying black tongue nearly ten feet long. Most of the time he keeps it concealed, but when feeding, hunting, casting necromancy, or becoming excited, it can uncoil and move independently.
