Name: Ulric Evenstar Jones
Age: 13
Hair color: black
Eye color: black
Height: 5'8
Appearance: Ulric is very tall for his age, and his skin is quite pale. His black hair is perpetually messy, and his crimson-colored eyes seem to burn with their own internal fire. He considers himself gothic, as is proper for a future Death Dealer. However, his idea of gothic stops at wearing all black and scowling all the time, and the religious/social aspects of the lifestyle interest him not at all. Ulric carries an oversized hourglass which he claims tells him how long the people around him have left to live. Because he will not come into his powers as Death Dealer until the current Death Dealer (his older brother Rorim) has died, this is unlikely. When trying to woo other boys into his bed, Ulric presents them with bouquets of black roses, but this has not yet proved to be a very effective tactic.
Biography: Ulric was born into a long line of Death Dealers, humans who help the Grim Reaper with his work. Because he is both human and mortal, Ulric knows that his tenure will be limited, and as such he, rather uncharitably, wants his older brother to hurry up and die so that Ulric can inherit the job. Thankfully (for Ulric) the life expectancy of a Death Dealer is rather short.
Ulric grew up with his mother and older brother in New York. His father died before Ulric was born, leaving Ulric with no male role-model save his brother, who is probably not the best person to do such a job. He grew up knowing that he would one day inherit the position of Death Dealer and wanting it. Also, because of his brother's job, Ulric grew up knowing rather a lot more about death and dying than most children, with the result that he has developed a fairly morbid personality. He also discovered early on that he was gay, but, since his brother rode around on a spectral horse killing people for a living while his mother worked as a paramedic, this was not seen as a big deal, and Ulric often fails to see why others have a problem with his, or anyone's sexuality. He was placed in St. Dymphna's because his mother felt it would be good for him to be around others, and felt that St. Dymphna's was the best place for him.
Personality:Ulric is a fairly dark person, preferring to spend his time alone or in the company of dead things. As a result, he has made few friends, and is perfectly fine with this. He both loves and wants to kill his older brother, leading an odd family dynamic, and the fact that neither his brother nor his mother were home much means that he isn't terribly sure how to interact with people. Often, this leads to his being incredibly blunt about what he wants -- usually in the form of other boys -- and not understanding at all when people tell him that tact is usually a good thing. Indeed, it has been debated that he does not actually know the meaning of the word tact, though he will not say one way or the other.
Skills: okay at school work, when he can be bothered, good at riding horses, good at scaring people.
