In one universe, Ibdis was a moody, pessimistic Vampire, as well as the roommate and principal henchman of the Lich Emperor Junter.
Description
Physical appearance
Ibdis appeared as a thin young man with chalk-white skin and black hair. He had big, pointed ears, visible fangs, and a vertical scar over his left eye. He dressed in a dark blue cloak with a large red collar and a skull-shaped brooch. (COMIC: A Letter From Beyond, PROSE: Meet the Undead)
Personality
Ibdis was a glass-half-empty, pessimistic, oft-irritated individual, and frequently criticised his master Junter to his face, which Junter never took umbrage to — although he always remained loyal to the Lich Emperor despite his irritation. The Junterlings believed that Ibdis “had no goals”, although he did have one, buried wish of which he was ashamed, a childish desire to spend a day at the beach with a cartoon character. (COMIC: A Letter From Beyond) Although having no trouble living among humans, he was unrepentant about feeding on them. (COMIC: Playa’)
Powers & abilities
Ibdis had all the powers and abilities of a Vampire; he was immune to magics like the Rune of Wanting, but weak to direct sunlight, which would make his skin briefly sparkle, then erupt into flames. Once out of the sun, however, he would quickly heal from this damage, and he could mitigate the effects by using an umbrella when walking about in daylight. (COMIC: A Letter From Beyond)
Biography
Rooming with Junter
At some point, Ibdis became roommates with Junter in an apartment that had the number 666. At the time, he was unemployed, which was more concerning to a deliveryman who once brought them pizza than the fact that he was a Vampire. (COMIC: Night of the Living Unemployed) In Junter's absence, he once brought a beautiful woman back to the apartment so he could feed on her. When he realised this, Junter stumbled in and interrupted him, much to Ibdis's annoyance. (COMIC: Playa’) He later listened as Junter ruminated about his numerous failed attempts to take over the world. (COMIC: MechaGiantJunterling)
Selling the apartment
After Junter failed to take care of the unspeakable horror that had taken over their bathroom, he and Ibdis decided to sell the apartment to a gullible buyer who would overlook the creature's presence, something Junter achieved by placing a Rune of Wanting over the threshold. However, with Mr Norman proving an instant sale and moving in immediately, the two were left without a place to spend the time, forced to remain in the streets. This bad luck was compounded by a sudden storm and the unexplained arrival of a pack of prowling hyenas. Nevertheless, the two managed to sleep through the night, only for Ibdis to be caught off-guard by the sunlight and catch fire, something which had never happened to him before. However, he quickly heals. (COMIC: A Letter From Beyond)
Visiting Kokotomo Island
With Junter having found an interdimensional letter inviting the bearer to Kokotomo Island while fighting the unspeakable horror, the two soon headed to the Island in the magical white seaplane. Ibdis spent the trip criticising Junter for his rashness. After they arrived, Ibdis had to stop Junter from attacking Gin, and generally making a fool of himself among the many odd, interdimensional visitors to the island. Mr Montibar soon found the two, and sent Junter off to live out his fantasy. Ibdis tried to tell Montibar that he had no fantasy for him to accomplish, but Montibar, to his bafflement, already knew about his never-confessed dream and summoned “Bob” for him, with the two spending the day making sand-castles on the beach. Ibdis also crossed paths with Nintendo, with the two hitting off sufficiently that they promised to call each other later, although Montibar believed that in the end they wouldn't. Eventually, he met up with Junter again and they took the plane back home, with Montibar looking on, amused that neither of the two powerful undead beings had realised he was himself a vampiric entity.
