Poltergeist, also known as Caspian Gilmore, is a well-known villain in Rophis. He is also one of the main villains in High School Hero!
Poltergeist stands at about 5'11" without his wings. With his wings, he stands at 6'1". His skin is a light gray and thin, almost to the point of being translucent. His eyes are entirely white, irises and pupils losing pigmentation with the development of his ability. Due to this, he has pretty bad eye sight. His ears are pointed at the tips, and his teeth are razor sharp. He has a diamond shaped face, framed by two pieces of his black hair. His hair falls down to his shoulders when he doesn't have it tied up. On his back protrudes two pointed wings, boney like a bat. They have rips and tears in the skin due to fighting. He also has a spiked tail.
His villain disguise consists of a deep green sweater with holes in the back for wings. A red scarf is tied around his neck to keep him warm. He wears dark blue jeans and black dress shoes, and usually has his hair tied into a bun to keep it out of his face in battle.
His civilian outfit is strikingly similar to his villain attire. He wears teh same deep green sweater and scarf, but adds a long, tan coat with fur on the inside to keep him warm. He tucks his tail into a pocket in the back of the coat, and keeps his wings concealed with it as well. He puts on colored contacts so his white eyes don't raise suspicion. He cannot do anything to alter or change his skin color.

Poltergeist is a very blunt person. His monotonous tone causes his words to come across as cold and detatched, unapologetically straightforward. He has an intimidating aura to him that causes strangers to shy away.
Poltergeist is quick to anger. He experiences emotions more strongly than the average person, causing him to frequently lose his temper and lash out.
He is determined to break down the hero society and demolish the government. He has the people's interest in mind, but goes about his goals in a roundabout way.
Permeation: Poltergeist is able to phase through solid objects whenever he pleases. It takes great skill and concentration to allow only one part of his body to become tangible.
Night Vision: Poltergeist can see better in the dark than in the light.
Phantom Wings: Weak wings on Poltergeist's back allow him to glide, but not fly. They are thin and fragile compared to other hybrid's wings.
Phantom Tail: Poltergeist has a tail that he can control like another limb. The end of the tail is sharp like a blade.
Light Sensitivity: Being in direct sunlight significantly weakens Poltergeist. Nausea, tiredness, and dizziness are a few of the many symptoms he can experience while in the sun.
Low Vision: Despite being able to see in the dark, Poltergeist has generally bad vision. The colored contacts he wears as a civilian are also prescription contacts.
