Name: Shadow (Real Name: Gerard Williams) Birth Date: Febuary 14 1991 Physical Description: Shadow is a very pale person. It's hard to tell cuase most of his skin is usually covered in his clothing regardless of the weather. Dark black pants and a black shirt are covered by a thick black cloak with a hood that he usually keeps up and over . . sometimes to the point of shielding his eyes. When he does show his hair it's usually short and dark brown. His eyes are black and lacking of emotion. He also wear dark gloves on both of his hands. He is about 5'11 and nothing muscular about him at all. He wears an amulet around his neck at all times. Job: Currently Unemployed. Equipment: The amulet that he wears around his neck is with him at all times and never comes off, not even when he goes to sleep. He won't talk much about it and any questions about it will usually get a non-caring stare that pretty much says "I have no desire to answer your questions." Powers: Shadow can manipulate, control, and pass through shadows. He cannot use two powers at the same time however. Furthermore he's more powerful than he lets on and/or knows and as time progresses can possibly learn new powers. Here are the abilities he currently has. 1. Can use existing Shadow to form a defense shield around himself or others to protect from attacks. He can do this to up to 3 people. 2. He can currently use existing shadows to form a tentacle like offensive attack against thows and being. 3. He can use existing shadows to make a ball of shadow and hurl at his foes. This ball can do moderate damage although there has been rare cases in which he can send massive shadow balls that can pretty much take a foe out (knock them out not kill them). 4. He can "shadow" jump from one existing shadow to the next. If he does this he has a 3 second window upon completing his travel where his other powers will not work. Again to reiterate. . . he can't use more than one of those powers above at the same time. For example if he's concentrating on defending another member of his team . . he can't also attack. Furthermore, he cannot create shadow. He can use the slimest of shadows to his advantage but if he's in a room or area with no shadows he's powerless. Furthermore All his powers stem from the amulet. If at any time he loses his amulet his powers are completely null and void. Skills: Shadow never sleeps. 1. Shadow meditates from time to time to achieve the state of mind he wishes to maintain. However his meditation is to the point that it substitues sleep for rest. 2l Shadow doesn't not allow his emotions to get in the way of his decisions. Therefore his decision making can be both unbias and at times unpopular. Personality: Shadow is a loner. Shadow is very introverted and anti-social. Shadow keeps much of his history and past to himself and had to be heavily persuaded into joinin the SSTC. Shadow is highly intelligent and has a moral code. He will not kill, he will not torture, and he will not use his powers for anything that he perceives immoral. Despite being anti-social Shadow does have a curious streak and will research, research, research on anything that strikes him as perculiar. He does not have or keep friends. He has no interest in competitions or anything that invovles "group participation". He will work as a team in SSTC matters but beyond that he really has no connection with anyone. Past: Gerard Williams had an awful childhood. His father killed himself when he was only eight years old. His father killed himself by position the living room couch next to the main door and then blowing his head off falling down into it. The aim was that when his wife came home from work he be the first thing she saw. Unfortuantely Gerard came home early from school and saw it first. This has had a huge impact on his pyschologically. Before then he was a vibrant, hysterical, out going child. . . he became more withdrawn and anti-social from that moment. His mother was no better. An Alocholic and semi abusive she and Shadow's relationship was strained. Shadow always had an interest in the supernatural but never experienced anything of the like until after the crash. After the crash Shadow on night alone in his room, like a lot of nights, saw something gleaming outside in a dumpster. His curiousity getting the better of him like it does a lot of times went out to investigate and found a stone amulet. He grabbed the amulet from the dumpster and took it upstairs to investigate. Upon putting it on nothing happened until a few days later when he was almost hit by a car. In fright he put up his hands and hoped he could move in time . . . what happened confused him, as well as those near by, as he melted into his Shadow and popped out of another one. In the past two years since this event he has discovered other things he can do with his Shadows. Word by mouth about his abilities spread until it came to the attention of the SSTC who sent out a recruiter to talk to him. Shadow wanted nothing to do with the SSTC . . . he never wanted to be a hero in training. However after hours of discussing and explaining the negative consequences of not fully understanding or controlling his powers Shadow reluntcantly agreed to do so. There was an unspoken reason why he joined as well. He still didn't know where the amulet came from . .and in the back of his mind he always worried . . . someone would be coming for it one day.

Two things about his powers: 1. You state first that he can use two powers at once but no more than that. Then later you say he can only use one at a time. Please correct this. Either is fine, but both isn't quite possible. 2. How much damage does the ball of shadow do and what sort of range does it have? About his skills, please put them in bullet form. It makes it easier for us to read. |

You don't have enough posts for upgrades. |

I think that's a mistake. If you were trying to list what he can currently do, you'll have to find a different way of bulleting the abilities; that's the format we use for upgrades. Sorry I didn't catch that before. |

Is it the bulleting itself that's the problem. Cause I already know I can't upgrade anything . . I was just trying to list the abilities he can do like with the other two characters. Instead of dashes I number listed them instead if that's enough of a distinction. Either that or I'm not understanding the problem. |

I don't, but since Jake has commented I'll wait for his input before approving him. |

Well you need to specify what the amulet does exactly, whether it's the source of his power or if it just amplifies it. Also teleportation is a separate power, I would allow it if it was stated that he could only do it while wearing the amulet, if his powers are his own, if he gets the power from the amulet than that's fine. |

Okay I specified if he loses his amulet he loses all powers. So hopefully that's enough to link his poewrs to his amulet. |
