Dekan

Dekan (full name: Dekan Robert Sasson) is a cis male human in the Monsterverse. Later, he becomes a vampire, turned by Rigel. He is of French Jewish and Black descent.



Appearance
Dekan has medium brown skin; short, kinky purple-black hair shaved into an undercut; and dark brown eyes. He almost always wears a dark purple hoodie and black jeans. He wears glasses.

After his turning, Dekan's eyes are purple and he no longer wears glasses.

Behavior
Dekan is incredibly bookish and loves reading more than almost anything. He does not get along well with other people his age, and the few friends he has are slightly older than he is.

History
Dekan is nearly eighteen years old at the time of his turning.

But before that, he spent a lot of time alone. (Or maybe he had no friends because he didn't go out a lot.) He liked to write to fill his time. He has participated in NaNoWriMo every year since he figured out how to use a word processor and had become a Novermber ritual in the Sasson home until the divorce.

Dekan generally got along well with his dad Malachi and was totally blindsided when Malachi asked Kelda for a divorce. After the divorce, Dekan became even more withdrawn and started to argue with his mom more than usual. This eventually culminated in Dekan's packing a backpack with enough camping supplies and food for about a week. (Camping supplies included an old journal his dad had given him to try and repair things after the divorce.)

Dekan decided to spend the time away from his house in an apparently abandoned house that had been apparently abandoned since the '70s. Who camps in an abandoned house? We just don't know. The house actually belonged to Kieran Foley, and the rest is pretty much history.
