Agender
They/it
Has about a 50/50 chance of being gendered male or female and will not correct people (it delights in the awkwardness its androgyny causes)

Brown hair that was dyed blue a long time ago but is permanently faded, styled in a mullet that has started to grow out
Very thin
Short
Has pointy ears
Fangs
Blue eyes

Casual wear is usually a mesh shirt and black cargo pants with heavy boots
Work uniform is work pants, an old shirt, and their company jacket -- think Carhartts for the whole vibe
Likes to wear cat ears and a tail most days, even to work sometimes

Strix is a vampire who was turned at age 24 in the year 2024
They don't know who turned them or why. They were on a work trip banding birds when the group was attacked in a mass slaughter.
Strix runs a wildlife rescue with a suspiciously high number of euthanasia cases (Strix avoids feeding on other humans), but the rescue is too poorly funded for anyone to investigate.
Strix cut off their wealthy parents years ago and lives in southern California in an exceptionally shitty studio apartment
Strix has a falconer's license and a barred owl companion, and a wild murder of crows that they have befriended and trained to poop on cop cars

Aloof, awkward, loner, avoidant, anxious
Doesn't really know anything about current events and is rather cut-off from the world
Anti-authoritarian and believes in justice and equality
Talkative once you get them going, but will only talk about their special interests
