Appearance
Hair: Mousey brown. Normally spiked up with a little wax. It's kept at the length it was when he was sired, a few inches long and he\'ll run his hands through it when he\'s nervous or feels like he\'s being judged.
Eyes: Dark brown as a human, but now so black that you can barely see the pupils. Fairly large eyes. When he was human Ichabod was almost blind without glasses, but now he no longer has a need for them
OtherIchabod’s nose has a noticeable scar on it over a lump, caused by being smacked in the face by a hockey ball.
He often felt awkward with his appearance, but in his early twenties, Ichabod grew into his looks, although he can still look quite young when he gets shy.
Frame: Medium build, Ichabod stands at about 5 foot 10. His muscles are toned and he's got a strong looking form.
Tattoos/Distinguishing Marks: Scar on his nose, nothing else really.
Personality: Ichabod is more of a follower than a leader. He likes having fun, but also appreciates quiet and can spend hours trying to find somewhere peaceful to read. As a human he enjoyed going out with his friends, but can get very claustrophobic in crowded clubs if there are too many people or if he's cornered and sees no way out.
He’s fairly honest and polite unless something has really pissed him off. It has to be quite serious to annoy him that much though, Ichabod is fairly good humoured most of the time, with a name like that you have to be. Most often he\'ll back down from an argument unless he is really worked up or feels passionately about something, then he might come out with a comment he'll regret moments later. There's only a few people who really get on his nerves - his fledge brother Ben being one of them, although their relationship has improved in recent times.
Ichabod's confidence has grown over the years, but it does depend on who he is with and the situation. In work he puts on the show of confidence, knowing that's what's expected of him. It can be overwhelming at times, and so when he doesn't need to be the one in charge, he's more than willing to let others take control.
Occupation/Job: Acting Head of the
Kerr Galvin Academy which was set up by Ben.
Likes: Reading, studying, exploring new places.
Dislikes: Small or crowded places, being trapped or feeling it, being forced to make choices for other people. He hates people looking down on him and tries to please people.
Habits Ichabod used to smoke, but he's quit now. He'll run his hand through his hair when he's nervous.
History:Ichabod had a fairly normal upbringing, he was the only child and got average grades at school. He fitted in with the crowd and loved to play hockey on the school sports team. Some people would have described him as a jock, but Ichabod hid the quieter, more studious side of his nature from those around him.
It wasn't long after Ichabod had left school that he met Nikki, and they had a whirlwind romance when Ichabod finally worked out that he was bi-sexual, a fact he didn't want to let any of his friends know because he knew they would make fun of him for it.
When Nikki disappeared with no explanation Ichabod was frantic with worry and spent a month trying to find the blonde, searching places he never would have looked otherwise. And that was how he ended up in Risk.
Ichabod was Ben's first victim, and Ben was the first vampire who had fed from Ichabod, under the watchful eye of Kerr. But Ben was reluctant to answer many of the questions Ichabod had and so when Ichabod ran into Lazarus he was more than happy to go along with what the ancient wanted and get the information and attention he craved, becoming Lazarus' pet.
When Lazarus' attention began to waver Ichabod got upset and slept with Kerr, letting him drink from him as well, neither of which Lazarus was happy about and after being taken to the Oligarchy by Lazarus to be made his official pet, Lazarus dumped Ichabod on Kerr's doorstep, after almost draining him completely.
After being questioned by a vampire hunter Ichabod went home to his parents, not wanting to lead the hunter to Kerr. He discovered that Mandy and Kerr knew each other and asked the pink-haired young woman to give Kerr a message. After managing to tell Kerr what had happened Ichabod moved out of his home with his parents and into a hotel until he could find a place of his own, but after a drunken night out he ended up at Mandy's once more, who offered him a place to stay. Ichabod lived with Mandy for a while, until she found out that Ben had been bullying him and feeding from him secretly. They fought and Ichabod moved out, going to live with his parents again.
Trying to forget the craziness which had happened and get back to his normal life, Ichabod left the city to go to a university which was about a two-hour drive away. Before he left he ran into Ben and Kerr and found out what had been happening with them, catching up briefly before Kerr fed from him and then they parted ways.
