Name: Kohei Araragi
Gender: Make
Age: 17
Abilities: Vampire physiology (reduced for the time being, since he's currently mostly human, because being a full vampire has disadvantages, too), Blood Manipulation, and Shapeshifting.
Years in the Academy: 3
Physical Description:

Personality: Kohei is a laid-back person, whose only real friend at school was Himari Noihara. He is a poor student, close to failing every class except math. At home, Kohei was the only person who thinks that his family relationship is bad, while his younger sister, Minori, believes otherwise.His older sister, Hazuki, similarly disagrees with this point of view. Though she's always been a bit unusual, perhaps fanatical, in the way she regards him.

It is revealed through conversations that he's quite knowledgeable with the occult; a fact which is even noted by Shizuko Amaike once. Though he's even more knowledgeable about weapons, as well as anime. And metal. Other people he knows, Shiro Jinguuji and Sena Mikazuki especially, seem to speculate that Kohei is a lolicon, and possibly a pervert. He is very noble, which is why Sena is attracted to him. He is willing to help others at the cost of his own life. As such, the female friends of his he's helped are quite attached to him. He feels most comfortable talking to Shiro about his problems.

When he confronts a cat-spirit possessed form of Himari Noihara, known at that point as Black Noihara, he learns that Himari has been in love with him, since one spring break at school; when he became a vampire. Though proud of that fact, he refuses to leave Sena. Even though the situation ends up with him getting nearly killed, and his younger sister having to come to the rescue, inadvertently revealing her true nature in the process.
Backstory: His mother was from England, which is why he has the unusual hair colour, giving him a look that seems to make most think he's a bit of a ruffian, and perhaps a Yakuza. Despite this, he probably wouldn't have been involved in such things if it weren't for his cousin, who ended up dragging him into that world, and into a life with danger and crime. Despite his attempts to seem like a normal person, people always regarded him differently at school, and in life in general. There is some irony, since his father is actually in the police force, though that part happens to be more corrupt than most, and thus, his father had to go along with some less reputable things, despite his integrity. As well as that, that part of the police is also associated with a division of the Black Ocean Society, or Gen'yōsha, which despite having supposedly been suppressed shortly after the second world war by the Americans, still has some influence in the country.

Unfortunately, he was involuntarily turned into the subject of many a fight, due to his appearance, and ended up having to learn to fend for himself the hard way. He also had to make himself able to deal with more punishment.

Often ostracised due to his appearance, he had few friends, and generally put up a wall, though despite that outer façade, he still showed some of his true nature. Having a childhood where people often either picked on you or ran away, generally tends to give you a certain perspective on other people and life on a whole. He had a younger sister who seemed to possess something of a brother complex, and whom she shows a different side around than most.
One time, when he was out with his cousin, they happened to end up in the wrong part of town. During which he encountered a vampire. His cousin ended up doing something reckless, and ended up being killed, whilst he, instead was bitten. The whole affair isn't entirely easy to remember, but among other things, the series of events were generally painful and rather unexpected. This caused a spiral of events to occur and drag him into the world of the supernatural.

He learned that life as a vampire was generally dangerous. He faced off against three vampire hunters, and successfully took them down. However, he also learned the disadvantages to being a vampire pretty quickly. It was several weeks later that he would end up finding a specialist in the occult, someone whom his cousin's Yakuza connections inadvertently brought him to meet. Since the Order of the Green Dragons were the primary cause for the creation of the Yakuza in general, that occultist was naturally linked to them. Desperate to restore himself to at least partial humanity, Kohei underwent a ritual, placing a seal upon his body. That seal held most of his vampire nature away, and returned him to humanity. Thus, he's currently at one tenth of that vampire power. Though if it should be that somehow the seal is broken, he'll return, and once more become fully vampire. He may not be an expert fighter, but he can handle himself against inexperienced fighters. Along the way, he happened to acquire a girlfriend. A girlfriend that could threaten what masculinity he had in his body. At another point, he ended up finding himself in the Order of the Green Dragons. Though he's evidently not the best fighter around, he nonetheless has considerable skill in other areas, including persuasion and on another note, powerful regenerative abilities. In numerous fights with adversaries both natural and supernatural in nature, he has often gotten used to coming out worse for wear, at some points having to survive injuries that are far beyond the capabilities of a normal human to survive. Sena for instance, is fully aware of this, and ends up using it against him. Having certain tsundere tendencies at times. Which makes for a dangerous relationship.

He has a few friends, including his younger sister- Minori Araragi, who often seems to like pretending is herself a vampire, though given, with her affinity with the night, it's likely she's more than just pretending. Her unusual eye colour may point to that, too. She was often engrossed in occult materials, and books- when she wasn't doting over her older brother, and was known to have messed around with western magic. Thus, she probably found ways to circumvent things like sunlight's danger. Hence why she seems to be able to cope with sunlight easily. There's also his older sister, Hazuki, who's generally quite active, being a famous singer in a band, as well as a Major in the JSDF- despite being not much older than him, perhaps getting a little too much out of fighting people. Among others, he knows a girl with serpentine abilities, called Shizuko Amaike. As well as a certain nymphomaniac self-proclaimed lesbian (though one hapless and involuntary encounter suggests otherwise) with a demonic arm that seems to have a will of its own- Hinata Tsukimura, though she seems to have tamed that will, now, as well as a sadistic tsundere/yandere combo girlfriend that seems at first glance, far less dangerous than she really is- Sena Mikazuki. And there's a ghost of an unusual young girl with masochistic tendencies- Shiro Jinguuji. As well as that, there's a split personality tsundere and yandere succubus from a rich corporation- Reika Hōjō, who once encountered him when they were children, and seems to have an interest in him. As well as that, there is another girl with a sadistic, human-eating cat demon inside her, called Himari Noihara, who transforms into that demon whenever negative emotions take hold of her- she was also the first friend he encountered. Hence, life is rather unusual for Kohei at the academy. He has to deal with all that, whilst being a member of the Order, and having to serve its interests.

Kohei Araragi is approximately 1/10 vampire. And only 1/10. This is something grants him a few abilities, with a nature such as that.
Superhuman accelerated healing allows him to recover from pretty much any injury. Getting hit so hard in the face that his flesh caves in, his intestines being ripped out, even ripping a stapler out from the inside of his cheek. However, if he receives too much damage all at one moment. He can and will die. Heightened vision allows him to see things that are far away and have clear vision in the dark. Nothing that would abnormally hurt a vampire affects him any more, like a wooden stake or sunlight, since he's mostly human.
However. This 1/10th vampire also comes with its negatives. Having that regenerative power is useful, but it usually ends up meaning that he ends up having to endure more pain than any human would encounter- any living human, that is. Kohei lacks proficiency in swimming due to his past as a vampire. He is still afraid of sunlight, even if it doesn’t effect him.

If he were to loosen the seal on his body, or were he to be drained of blood, he would gradually become closer to full vampirehood, with said abilities growing stronger, though at the cost of his bloodlust increasing, as well as an urge for blood to consume, and the weaknesses of a vampire becoming more potent in the way they affect him.
In a full vampire state, Kohei can his his hands as blades to completely cut through flesh like butter. His healing factor would replace severed limbs in milliseconds.
