Name: Umasidaetos Urselenarck (Demon Name)
Nicknames: Sidney (Public Name) / Sid (Nick Name)
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Faction: Demon
Race: Onikuma/Oniguma - A large bear yokai capable of walking on its hind legs, known for stealing horses from villages and feared to eat humans. The Oniguma are characteristically closer to monsters than demons and may be frowned upon by demons of the higher caliber. (http://hyakumonogatari.com/2013/05/28/onikuma-demon-bear/)
Natural Ability: Strength - legends say an Onikuma can move rocks that 10 men together can’t push.
(*Natural Form: Sid has the appearance of an Asian black bear and stands at 7ft tall on his hind legs.)
Personality: Sid is a big, rugged looking student that doesn't exactly do making impressions, he just intimidates. The kid looks like your run of the mill grump who'd want to shove you to the floor if you get in his way, but Sid isn't as rough as he appears. This guy's just quiet and awfully simple minded, producing slow, plain sentences when he does speak.
This makes finding friends hard, but when things happen to work out well, Sid cherishes friends and the worst comes out if he sees them in danger. That's when his brawn comes to use, but those who have really met Sid know he's really a big simple mama's boy.
Though he is close to his mom and loves the warm sweaters she always knits him, his relationship with his dad is a little different. There's less of an emotional attachment and more of boss/respect orientated feeling, where Sid looks up to his pa and takes his advice wholeheartedly despite often not meeting expectation. Much of the advice he still takes to heart from his father are social class related, encouraging Sid to be wary of other factions despite the Oniguma's strange position in it all. Though due to that strange position, Sid himself doesn't frown at Monsters. He just can't with the close similarities to lifestyle. His pa knows they may be towards the bottom rung in terms of wealth and status, but they're still demons and he tries to remind Sid of that mentality.
Sid knows nothing other than the lifestyle an Oniguma is forced to live and has accepted his place at the bottom of the demon ladder. Their lack of wealth leads to their simple lifestyle, and he is ok with this despite the lavish lives of his fellow demons. What has bothered him is the ridicule throughout his life from some of his own faction and this makes him uncomfortable around them, self-conscious and pushed downwards with the worry of being ridiculed without getting a chance, supporting his desire to stay silent rather than speak and be pointed out.
To pass time, Sid likes to take a good nap and sleep. If not sleep, he climbs trees a lot of the time. Sometimes he even climbs trees and sleeps in them. It's better he do that than occupy time by awkwardly stare at equine students, which he does a lot without even knowing it.. they make him so hungry, but his momma taught him, "eating students not good thing," and so he often collects acorns, fish, and whatever goodies he can find to bring to his room and stash for snacks between meals. Sid doesn't really make the connection or know why it happens, but Oniguma had been known for stealing horses from human villagers to devour in their caves as a favorite delicacy.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Sid goes to school like his momma said so he can get bigger and smarter and scarier. His papa, tired of their lower position in demon society and always wanting more, just says his damn son better go to school and shape up. The kid doesn't know what he wants to do at this point either, he much rather just collect acorns and play around in trees.
FEAR Ability: (Battle Cry) Crescent Claws - Sid's claws get bigger and thicker for a chance to slash crescents into his enemy's chest.
Physical Description:
Sid looks like a big grumpy teen (about 5'11") who went out to live in the wilderness, came back, and never shaved. He's got messy bed hair and baggy eyes from naps and a little beard goin' on.
Eye Colour: Brown
Hair Colour/Style: Black, lengthy, and down in a mess or up in a bun. Thick sideburns.
Skin Colour: See reference.
Clothing Style/Colours: A good ole' warm Halloween-sweater from his momma, some really worn jeans, and bare feet. He's a pretty simple guy.
Extra: Sid retains Asian black bear ears and a rinky-dinky bear tail, noticeable claws, and sharper teeth in human form.

BONUS ONIGUMA LIFE HOOPLAH
The Oniguma are related to other demonic yokai with the origin of animals that aged and gained power (for example, Bakeneko), but they are very different as well. Though they are demons, Oniguma are known for their size and strength, not mischief or magic. At a glance, one may think they are monsters due to their physical capabilities and commoner housings/lifestyle. These odd characteristics have placed them at the bottom of of demon society, though it has been heard that some have worked their ways up over time.
Ideals on social status differ from household to household. For example, Sid's family sits at the bottom rung with many other Onigumas, but they cling to the fact that they're still demons. His father looks down upon the other factions, varying levels based on each one, and even Monsters insisting they are nothing alike despite the similarities. His mother simply cannot be bothered with such trivial problems while being a hard working Oniguma, but when it comes to her son, she tries to keep him as open and accepting as she can. Sid himself is wary of other factions with his papa's advice that Reapers are "Useful and know their way around magic, but nothin' but damn trouble," and the Undead, "Just a buncha rotting bums not to be trusted." When Sid asked about Ghosts, his dad usually had no comment and often just grunts when they're mentioned, but with Monsters, his dad always seems to get worked up the most about them and sputters things like, "Damn it we're nothin' like 'em Sid. We're demons! Don't let nobody say otherwise."
