doodles for a Holy Basil redesign! He is the court wizard of Her Glorious Leporidan Empire (more information under readmore)

Holy Basil is a strzyga! Essentially, he's a vampire who can change into an owl-like monster. In order to keep himself from blowing his cover (which, in his position would be quite dangerous), he has to drink a LOT of blood to keep himself satisfied. Animal blood works, but in a society where everyone is a vegetarian and eating the blood/flesh of animals is seen as a horrifying crime against nature, that's less of the lifehack than it would be normally.

He is in the unique predicament of being someone who grew up in a Bungeon- essentially, a Dungeon of The Beyond that's constantly shifting and changing and mutating. He believes he was abandoned as a child for being a strzyga, as strzygas are 1: born that way and 2: tend to eat their mothers on their way out of the womb. Gnarly stuff.

Because of that, despite his brilliance as a mage, he is... Questionable in his social graces. He's also gay and transgender if that's anything.
