Character: Belthazar Spellscry Mana Properties: Belthazar is a blood elf, and as such, his mana (and everything else) is tainted by demonic magic. However, his taint is environmental and through no fault of his own, so it will feel less sickening/disgusting than, say, a warlock. Also of note is that he is addicted to mana (because of being an elf), and initiating mana exchange will feel a bit like a funnel. Depending on how tired he is, the drain will strengthen. Thankfully, mana is generated simply by sharing contact, so it isn't a great harm; both people will come out better for it.
His mana signature is a vibrant blue-purple. When he is particularly agitated it tends to be toward near magenta, but when he is calm and focused, it is a clear cerulean. Though he is fiery and passionate, his mana always betrays his true nature: generous, warm, and full of hope.
Mana Exchange: Since mana tapping is something that can kill on his world, he's still reluctant to initiate mana transfer or reciprocate it unless he is desperate. He's afraid that people will call him a monster because he needs mana to survive, and copious amounts of it, at that. However, people he admires or trusts in any capacity will be able to touch him, and he won't pull away. This means well-acquainted CR only. Preferred Methods: Holding hands, for sure. Belthazar isn't interested in being intimate and hugs scare him a little, but he'll relent if he likes you. If you are very special, he might press his forehead to yours! Mana Exchange History: Adra, Sion, and Caren so far! Accidentally, he's exchanged with Wukong before. Mostly because he got ape-hugged. Plans for the future? Things you would like to play out?: Belthazar needs to get over his mana thing, especially if he's going to be a Bishop! Making things out of mana isn't new to him, but all these variable uses for it as well as his new weapon means he's going to be running out a lot faster than he bargained for.
I guess my goal is to make him less skittish with mana transfer in general, but that might take a while.
