Skills: These skills are skills the Viret race has adapted over the years for their survival.
- Enhancement. To take whatever strengths the former owner of the body in use had to five through twenty times that of the former depending on the Viret's age and experience. (e.i. Body builder's strength. Sprinter's speed. Gymnist's agility. etc. etc. etc.) Kufer, as a fledgling can only get 5 times the former and the strengths of his current body are stealth and loyalty. Human eyes, glow the color of the Viret's eyes despite the possibility of missing one whenever initializing the enhancement.
- Within a 5 mile radius, can make his voice heard by any living human/magical creature to come to his aid when in a situation such as stuck in an animals body due to human body deteriorration(sp?)
- Every Viret is immortal when in a solid body.
- Has teeth very much like a sharks'. Knife sharp and regrows after a few days if knocked out.
- Pleasant scent that can over power even the stench of a 10 year old, well kept, corpse.
- Full body control of human/humanoid corpses.
- First aid

Weaknesses: The unfortunate facts about being a viret.
- Can not survive without a solid body. True form being weak and mostly powerless as well as intangible.
- Merciful and loving, can not bring it upon itself to kill a soul. Being a carnivorous creature, means it either has to scavenge or have others kill food for it.
- Quick-tempered. Despite the loving, caring, nurturing soul, it can not control it's anger and will resort to physical harm until calmed.
- Due to animals having different body controls to that of a human, a Viret can only, if at all, move one limb at a time, whether it's an insect or a whale.
- Despite the stench masking, decomposition of the body will still occur and so a Viret is constantly on the search for a new body whenever current body is getting to a certain point of falling apart.
- Can only survive, at most, an hour out of a body.

Personality: Quick-tempered and nuturing as his species often are. His difference from the rest of his kind, is drive. He is driven to find a way to make a human body stop decomposing so that they don't have to dig up anymore graves of fine people....or not dig up graves and die. He is often found looking up whatever he can about magic and chemistry, hoping to someday find a way to mix the two and make something that could benefit his kind. Forgetful of trivial things like his age and birth date.

History: Being a fledgling Viret, his 'life' hasn't very well started but he's already thrown himself into a tough situation.

During a rite of 'Being', he was brought to the world at the end of the year 1814. He had been well taken care of by his guardian, Juir, for 100 years. It was around the end of that hundredth year that Juir couldn't get to a new body in time, even with Kufer's help. Kufer was devastated, his mentor for all those years was gone and despite the knowledge the elder Viret had given him, he felt helpless and rather unsure on what to do next. What felt like a day but was actuall 7 months and 3 days, went by with him doing almost nothing. He finally had to get a new body, on his own, for the first time. It didn't turn out well and hewas forced to go into an animal's body. He tried to call out for help, but none came. He wanted to give up but it came to mind that his life only just started, to die now would be a waste of the life given to him by the elder Viret shamans. That being so, he started, with much effort and pain, crawling in a random direction, using one paw of the raccoon he was in to dig into the ground and pull him along. After hours of dragging along the ground, he had finally found, to his complete luck, a freshly dead human body. Once in the body, he finally came to the decision of looking for a permanent solution of 'curing' his species of their main problem. For the next 98 years he went in search of any info that could help. Which brings us to where he is NOW. He wanted to further delve into the subjects of magic and chemistry but normal human schools would find his rather dead appearance and all. He still wanted to go to a school, any school, in hopes to find more material on the subjects and get instruction as well, thinking that would work better than his current attempts. It was around then that he found an advertisement for Lillegard, and it came to his relief that it was a school for creatures much like hisself. He filled an application out and sent it in.

Additional Info:
- Current body's past - Used to be a young member of a gang, used mainly for information gathering. He was adept at being 'unseen'. Course, one day, he made a slip up and was caught by a rival gang, who weren't all to happy. In attempt to make him give info about his own gang, they totured him. Near the end of his life, he'd lost an eye and the other had been burnt. He had refused to give out any secrets, loyal as a dog, which annoyed the gan and they finally just killed him. They tossed his body in a place they didn't think anybody would find but Kufer did, around the time he needed a new body too. So this body is a tad mutilated with knife scars, a missing eye, and a bullet wound in the chest.
- He's actually pretty social so isn't an entire idiot when it comes to speaking in the more 'now' tense, but he can sound a little old timey at times with random phrases he's picked up over the years.
- He hates it when people think he's a zombie but he always forgets to tell them about what he is and so when they notice he's actually a rotting corpse they usually freak out. He's positive that won't happen at Lillegard, since he'll be around other non-human beings.
- As long as the head is intact, he can continue using a body/head to keep himself alive, but once the skin starts peeling away he definitely needs a new body.
