Gasper Vladi (Midnightverse)

Gasper Vladi is one of the main male protagonists of Highschool DxD and one of the main protagonists of the story: Highschool DxD: Til Midnight. He is a dhampir, a hybrid of human and vampire, born to Lord Vladi and a human woman.

History
Gasper was born to one of the vampire lords, Lord Vladi, and a human woman, the latter died during birth. Gasper was characterized as a mass of shadows upon birth killing several servants. Due to fear of his powers and his Sacred Gear, Forbidden Balor View, Gasper grew up in isolation and abuse.

His cousin, Moka Akashiya and Kokoa Shuzen, would go out of their way to pick on and bully him for being weaker than the other vampires. One day, Gasper worked up the courage to escape from the castle and with the help of Valeri fled. Shortly after, he was killed by vampires. Rias, who happened to be in the area, revived him with her mutation piece but found that she could not control Gasper's power forcing her to seal him in a room.

The seal would later be removed by Rias and Gasper would be trained by Issei to further control his Sacred Gear. Throughout canon, Gasper would grow out of his shell, for the most part, and was a great help in sealing away the Apocalypse Beast, Trihexa.

Appearance
Gasper is an androgynous-looking male with platinum blond hair and pinkish-violet eyes. His hair is styled in short bob cut with several small fringes over his forehead, and he has pointed ears. Kiba describes him as looking like a beautiful girl.

Unlike the rest of the boys of Kuoh Academy who wear the boys' uniform, Gasper wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform with thigh-high socks, creating a Zettai Ryōiki (Japanese for "absolute territory").

In his Alucard persona, Gasper wears a black cloak with a mask hiding his face.

Personality
Like his canon counterpart, Gasper was a cowardly being who eventually grew out of it thanks to his training with Issei. Gasper idolizes and looks up to Issei often emulates him (minus the perversion.) He no longer carries a box with him and since the formation of Eden Squad and their club, the Garden of Eden, has gained even more confidence due to the fact that they are a music club that has yet to actually play a song.

Gasper is very defensive of his friends often going to great lengths to keep them safe. An example of this is when Gasper took a blow that was meant for Irina shattering his ribs in the process. Like in canon, Gasper can speak up as a man should the need arise. He is also very determined as seen when he fought against two of Verethranga's peerage members and even fought Valerie in her Demiurge Mode.
