New Stuff Around the Site
Aaaaand it's time for our revival, for the billionth time. Oh, how we are a stubborn board that refuses to die. The Cbox is looking prettier than ever with rules next to them now, and there will be more new stuff to come. Also, because of this, the Cbox rules will no longer be part of the General rules.

Real Name: Adrian Mercer*
Codename: Nyx
Gender: male
Age: 19 (October 24th)

Team: Free Lance

Power: Can manipulate shadows and create “shadow creatures” with which he can morph into illusions. Adrian still sees them as they are, which is basically a shadowed cloud-like form. To anyone else, however, it’s whatever Adrian wants them to see.
Weakness: The main weakness in his shadow creatures is that they are simply shadows; they can't solidify or physically harm a person. They also don't hold up well in direct sunlight unless he's drawing the creatures from natural shadows created by the light.

Personality: Adrian is a very mysterious, hidden person that tends to keep to himself a lot. He is also very protective, in most cases over-protective and can have a very short fuse. Once you get his temper going, he tends to hold a bit of a grudge for awhile against whoever brought it out; a few select people being acceptations. Aside from his fiercer nature he is a very charming, polite young man when around people he either cares for or respects (as limited as those people can be).

Interests:
-Likes: reading, dogs, science (esp. Chemistry), horror movies (LOL Leanna), thunderstorms, caramel, studying (yeah...he's weird like that. ^_~), snickerdoodles and smoothies (XD)
-Dislikes: bees (he's severely allergic), Tybalt/cats in general (see under Family), cough medicine (he hates the taste), most of the people his sister lives with (hahahahaha!!!), and the color green (just because)

Appearance/Lifestyle:
-Hometown: Fresno, California (main house)/Monterey, California (his parent's summer home)
-Hair: Black
-Eyes: Midnight Blue
-Body: A medium build; slender but not lacking in muscle
-Height: 5'11''
-Weight: 161
-Clothing: Adrian is always well dressed, most commonly in light long-sleeved shirts and dark blue jeans, usually (but not always) accompanied with a vest. When he moved out to Bayville, he began to gradually acquire a new respect (and even fondness) for coats--particularly long winter dress coats. He also took a liking to winter scarves, and can often be seen wearing them during the colder times of the year.

Family:

-Mother (name unknown; deceased): Out of his parents, he seems to have been closest to his late mother. It was her who told Adrian to look after his little sister, Shay, and her word seems to be law to him. He respected and loved his mother more than anyone else in the world.

-Father (name unknown; deceased): Adrian and his father’s relationship is a very distant one, even considering that Adrian was still very much a child when he and his wife (Adrian’s mom) died. It seemed that the “momma’s boy” and “daddy’s girl” was very much true in this family, for Adrian’s dad favored Shay more than he did Adrian himself.

-Shayna Delacroix (sister): She is the only known family that Adrian has still alive, and feels bound to her in a way due to a promise to his mom (see above). Because they have been apart for so long, and Shay was so young she didn’t even remember Adrian, their relationship is a bit awkward. They do love each other because they’re siblings, however they have yet to really get to know each other and therefore be able to love each other for anything besides the fact that they are siblings.

-Adam Mercer (adoptive father): a wealthy CEO of a business chain who adopted Adrian shortly after Shayna was placed with a different family. He's a native of California who was in New York on business when he and is wife chose to stop by one of the local orphanages to make a donation. He and his wife fell in love with Adrian, and chose to adopt him on the spot and take them back with him to California. He's an extremely friendly and easy-going man who loves Adrian dearly, but wouldn't punish him for sneaking out and having fun. In fact, he sometimes gets annoyed with his son for being a little too "perfect" for his tastes. However, he hardly holds that against him and is incredibly supportive (perhaps a little too much) about his son's current pursuit in a business degree.

-Charlotte Mercer (adoptive mother): a professor and researcher at a college near their California home, she is actually a complete mother at heart. Though unable to have children of her own, she doesn't let that stop her from spreading her affections to children in whatever ways she can. If there's a charity involving children out there, you can bet that she's their leading contributor. When it comes to her own son, she is incredibly protective (and perhaps a little too overbearing in that sense), though she doesn't intentionally mean harm. She is also an incredibly competitive person (and in fact, competes with her husband in just about every aspect of their lives), and is trying to get Adrian to turn towards her field of study instead of business.

-Holly: Adrian's 3-year-old English Shepherd that his parents gave to him (when she was a puppy) for Christmas. She was originally supposed to be his 16th birthday present, but, as his parents kept arguing about what kind of dog to get him, they ended up giving him a different birthday present and saving Holly for later. She truly is his best friend.

-Tybalt: A giant Maine Coon that was supposed to belong to Adrian but he hated so much that he ended up being his mother's (Charlotte's) cat. He still hates him.

(Childhood) Friends:

-Philip Adler--Adrian's best friend and also the friend he's known the longest. Philip is a tall, slender 19-year-old with brown hair and bright blue eyes that are always seen through rectangular glasses. He's currently enrolled in Med School to follow in the 'family business' of becoming a doctor. Personality-wise, Philip is something of a nerd; genuinely kind and friendly, but oftentimes quietly buried away in a book. He does enjoy going out on little ventures with the group; he even enjoys taking on the more adult role in insuring that none of them are getting into activities that might prove to be TOO damaging or dangerous. In regards to Adrian, this most prominently shown in his refusal to allow Adrian to smoke in his presence, usually resulting in Adrian losing not only the cigarette, but the entire pack and the lighter. With the others, it's usually either drinking, taking advantage of the ladies too much, or staying out too late with a bunch of people that they don't even know. Drugs are the one thing that he absolutely won't allow to go around with any of them--even Alec (who he would NEVER otherwise stand up to about much of anything).

-Alexander (Alec) Mori--the unofficial leader of their little group, Alec is about Adrian's height with a bit more of a build to him, with dark redish-brown hair and dark gray eyes. He's the oldest in the group, 21, and is widely known for being the most popular. His parents are one of the core elite families in the area, leaving him on a high standing with many of his teachers and peers. He is rather arrogant in personality, and very confident and domineering, but he also cares very deeply for his friends and wouldn't hesitate to defend them from someone higher up in the social scale. When it comes to girlfriends, he's had plenty, but he never once cheated or treated them like a trophy. When it comes to partying, he's all for it and can even sometimes rival Max when it comes to drinking. It was actually his idea to start up their little "yacht club", which was essentially the group (and sometimes other friends/girlfriends) loading up one of their families boats with booze and going out to sea for a little partying. A lot of their neighbors/other friends soon began to take part and join them on their own boats, which they would then sometimes tie together and jump over from boat to boat to mingle.

-Nicholas Fisher--the musician of the group, Nicholas is 20-years-old with chestnut brown hair and hazel-green eyes. In personality, he's considered to be an 'old soul'; gentlemanly, friendly, and a fan of old-fashioned courtesies. He's the kind of person who would open the passenger door of his car for a girl, wait for her to get seated comfortably, then close it for her before getting into the car himself; or lay his coat over a rain puddle for a girl to walk across so she wouldn't get her shoes all muddy. Perhaps his favorite old-fashioned idea (when it comes to romance) is that of the serenade, though that's mostly because music is his primary medium for expression. He's very musically talented in a couple of instruments, but the violin is his absolute favorite. He puts his heart and soul into playing it, expressing himself through his music in ways that he'd never otherwise be able to show. Otherwise, he's perhaps the most 'average' of the group--enjoying spending time with his friends, going out to movies, hanging out with the other "yacht club" members. He isn't at all arrogant in his wealth--which, unlike all of the others in their group--comes purely from inheritance; his family struck gold early on and they've maintained the wealth from it throughout the years. On a slightly random note, his violin is named 'Aoide' after the Grecian Muse of song.

-Maximilian (Max) Durant--the youngest and by far the most wild of the group, Max has blond hair and bright green eyes. He's 18-years-old and is currently starting his freshman year off at NYU. Because both his and Adrian's schools are in the same city, they visit each other fairly often. Otherwise, you'll commonly find Max out at all of the hottest clubs, dancing and flirting with the prettiest ladies. Oh, and drinking. He could drink any of the others well under the table. Personality-wise, he's a very daring, go-getter, prankster type. He naturally cares a lot about his friends, but he isn't at all into the more 'sentimental' ways of showing it. He's also very much into large cities--the bigger the better. He likes bright lights and plenty of action. He's also very into fashion--his mother being a very successful fashion designer--and is always sure to look his best. In terms of the group, he's very much seen as the 'kid brother', though he doesn't mind it much. He looks up to Alec most of all as a type of role-model, finding Philip to be 'too much like a mom', Adrian to be 'too reserved', and Nicholas to be 'too in love with his violin'.


History: Adrian, being two years older than Shayna, has memories of his parents and his interactions with them (see Family for more info). He and his sister were separated, for the Renee’s stated they could only afford one of the children, and chose Shayna because she was still so young and they could bring her up in their own ways. Adrian was then sent to a different family: the Mercers. The Mercers were a wealthy family who were able to send Adrian to one of the best private schools in the area where he received an excellent education. Once he graduated, which was actually very recently, he set about doing what he had wanted to from the moment he moved in with his new family: find his sister. Because of the promise he made to his mother, he was determined to locate what was left of his family and look after her. He eventually managed to find her in the town of Bayville, New York, and chose to move out there for a time in an attempt to convince her to come back to California with him and become an official part of the Mercer family.

Schools:
Fairmont Private School--Preschool-1st grade
Carden School of Fresno--2nd-8th grade
Clovis West High School--9th-12th grade
Columbia University--college (Corporate Law)





*Because Adrian and Shayna were put into separate foster homes, their last names are different due to the families they were put into. Neither of them go by their true last name, which Adrian knows but chooses not to go by.
