Physical characteristics: About 22" high, tan fur, with medium brown paw pads.
Color glow (before/after faeries): Doesn't glow; he's a teddy bear
Spectacles/contact lenses? Eyes normally a glowing golden color... no special effects needed.
Makeup? Plush and fiberfill, with hardboard and locknut joints and handblown glass eyes
Available/preferred clothes: Natural-colored silk/linen chemise, medium-brown cotton-blend tunic, and medium-brown cotton-blend with dark-brown polyester suede sleeveless overtunic (think of Nick's flashbacks in "Killer Instinct")
Other accessories: Two embossed-glass "wine"bottles (about 2 oz. capacity each) to carry his "private stock"
History, or "How S/he Got to The Fiendish Glow": War 11: Engineered a pickup of Brenda's clothes and stuff, with himself packed inside, to be shipped to the Fiendish Glow. War 10: Jumped into the cardboard box with Brenda's clothes for the War...
Personality traits: The vampbear has a pretty one-track mind -- FOOD, direct-from-the-source. He's not above attacking anyone or anything for a bite at the neck, though he prefers comely women. On the other hand, he is a teddy bear -- that is to say, a construction of fabric, fiberfill, hardboard, glass, and metal. Anything he does has to be explainable by the average person who does not believe teddy bears are capable of having volition, much less acting and locomoting by dint of that volition. The best way to explain this is if you've ever read any Raggedy Ann stories, the vampbear is a lot like the dolls in Raggedy Ann's household -- having adventures when humans are not around, or having adventures that humans are completely unaware of.
Some of the vampbear's ramblings can be seen in the Fiendish Glow's War 10 pages.

Right now, I'm into the bearfoot thing, but if I can get Brenda to make me some nice boots (hint, hint!)

I'd much prefer live musicians. They taste much better.
Name a musician/musical group whose popularity annoys you.

I much prefer live action, thank you, so I can taste the performers.
Name your favorite civilization(current or historic).
Anyone that lets me snack on all the pretty girls.
Do you have Marmite in your refrigerator/pantry?

Has that jar of Marmite been there for more than a year?
Did you hear me the first time?
Natalie: Bitchy or misunderstood?
Dunno -- haven't tasted her yet.
Do you have Ribena in your refrigerator/pantry?

Has that bottle of Ribena been there for more than a year?
Are you deaf or something?
Handcuffs or rope?
Rope gives me fur burns. Handcuffs confine. I don't like being confined.
OH -- you meant what do I like to use to keep my necks in line? Pure animal magnetism, thank you -- and two nice, pointy fangs <eVBg>:. Though giving Pen nightmares sometimes works well, too...
Name your Personal Tranquility Device of choice.
My own Pit of Condemned Bimbos, that I can snack on whenever I want to. Everybody always at my beck and call.

Klutz. I mean, he wasted all those nice little blood candies back in War 9, if I read the posts right.
If you had your own personal Fanfic Fairy, what would you name it?
Food.
List your top three FK faction leanings.
Well, I'm kinda stuck with the Glow Worms because, you know, I don't have a car or anything and this is where Brenda goes. Besides, Pen tastes good <eVBg> even if she doesn't like me snacking on her, and I like teasing Lucius. I'd like the Nuncumpoops a lot better if they'd let me feed off them and not keep me caged up in MacHeather's shoe closet. And of course I want my own Pit of Condemned Bimbos...
Describe your dream car.
One with beautiful girl show-fers ready for snacking.

Whichever way lets me travel in my own First Class seat, with choice of passengers for dinner.
Do you carry a phone on you?
Why should I when Brenda does? I mean, I can always snag her's when she's not looking or anything... How do you think I get to play all those neat Internet games when I'm waiting for her to return so I can bite her?????
