Im still figuring out the format I'll be comfortable and consistent in, give it a lil more time ;] ill do a poll probably

Finally got this out :D

See you in the next part!

I always see people give vlad a Count Dracula kinda design and its cool and all but one time I sat and thought hey, Vlad, doesnt sound like an american name. And isn't Vlad short for Vladimir? Long story short he's Russian now. (In my au! Don't come at me people,,,)

I thought it fit his personality well enough, greedy, cunning, with high education that he is not using enough, and always looking for ways to work as little as possible.

How he got to America is fairly simple, his parents born in the soviet union didn't agree with the communist party so they fled to America where Vlad was born, that’s all.

In his design i have only taken a little inspiration from slavic royal attire, the rest is from how ectoplasm naturally settles combined with Vlad's preferences in how he looks. (Yes he has black teeth, yes his mouth is glowing from the inside.)

How Vlad died is much more interesting tho, radiation poisoning.

*description of a long and painful death, read at your own volition, skip the paragraph if you rather not*

!

It started shortly after the portal exploded on his face, with skin ulcers (his 'ecto acne' ,  Is one major symptom of radiation poisoning), continued with organ failure, and ended with a series of seizures with the last one on his bathroom floor while bleeding from every hole in his body. The whole metamorphosis lasted about a year.

!

What happened is that he didn't die quickly like Danny had, he didn't shift to a ghost form right away because he didn't have one yet. He hasn't died yet. Without the huge amount of ectoplasm Danny had the suit that kept him together Vlad's ghost-half formed gradually and so slowly that he couldn’t tap into it while in the 3rd dimension for another year after he died and came back.

His death has formed a core, the electric shock from its awakening is what revived him. The poisoning stopped, he already died, the core kept him alive until the body recovered enough to function on its own.

Damn

That's a lot of angst 

Uh, um, he also less cares about Maddie herself and more about taking everything from Jack which is who he blames for his death.

So yeah, poor guy :'o his hate for Jack is now very justified.

@proneterror204 @stealingyourbones weird way to propose but yes.

There's not much to say about ghost physiology in general in my DP au other then the reason for ectoplasm being able to hold a human consciousness is because it is conductive to energy (not electricity, that requires electrons) and the molecule equivalents for ectoplasm are shaped like neurons,,,if you want,,,, i can expand on that,,,,,

What i can do is give you a different angle of him (just a rough sketch, I'll finish it if ya'll like it) (you did so I finished it)

Currently he feels very confused and a little scared

I like giving Danny mismatched hands just to show how new of a ghost he is that he struggles with maintaining their shape, and when i said newborn king i meant it literally, he is like a newborn, a blank sheet, no memories of his past or what he was, not even language memorized because raising a king from scratch without biases, traumas, or morals for that matter is better then fixing a dictator. At least, they are hoping he won't turn out to be another dictator in the end, but if so, they can cut it short early.

('They' are the ancients and the crown)

His appearance isn't practical, but that's just his king cloak and i imagine it constantly moving along itself on a loop like an optical illusion :]

OH MY GAAAWWWDDDDDHDIEBDYGEEVWKNESINWISBSKSBAOSNWOSB

*SOBBING AAAAAAAAGGGGGG*

I'll definitely need to include calm moments in there from time to time anyways

Thank you now I will be looking at this for the next several hours :D

And then I'll print it and put it in my wallet

Due to the angst in @copperpipes ’s after dark I wanted to draw some of the boys in a more serene setting
