December 7, 1866- Maximelian Oliver Gray walked cheerily through the gray streets, reveling in the snow after such an unusually warm fall. The snow was pristine, and it fell soundlessly and coated everything with a layer of white. The wind whipped playfully at his coattails, threatening to topple his tall hat. It tipped once, twice, three times before falling. Blowing into a dark alleyway, it slowly stopped as the walls blocked the wind. Max grimaced at his ill fortune and walked over to the hat, bending to pick it up. As he did so, the hairs on the back of his neck stood straight up. Involuntary shudders racked his body, and a wave of fear fell over him as he slowly looked up- and didn't have time to yell for help as the shadow fell into him, going through his eyes, up his nostrils, down his throat and ears. He stood straight up, every bone stiff, and his eyes turned pure black as his system stopped fighting the invading force. Max's body began to shrink and shimmer, until black-furred dog trotted away.
~ 5 days later ~ December 12, 1866-a cold, snowy day if there ever was one. Anyone who was in their right mind would be inside , sitting by a fire in a plush stuffed chair. But this man was certainly not in his right mind. Max hurtled through the streets as if he were being pursued by demons. He tripped on an uneven paving stone and looked up fearfully as a dark something seemed to blink into existence and turned towards him. Its arms reached out over an unnaturally long distance, stretching as they went. It grabbed ahold of the Max's shoulder and he was pulled into the figure with one despairing scream. The figure vanished into a shadow.
~ 200 ye@rs later ~
June 15, 2066-Today is the modern, technologically advanced world. There is every gadget you might imagine-hoverboards,( more commonly known as skateboards) cars that fly as easily as an airplane, anything. There are billions of people in the world, but there are only a hundred or so of us. We are the ones that cause nightmares, we are the ambassadors for them. They live in Seicento, a world horribly similar to Earth and the source of all Netherworld myths- the Underworld, The Hall of Judgement, etc. They control shadows, they ARE shadows. As I said, their world mirrors ours, almost literally. It coexists with us-think of a ghost standing partially inside a human. Seicteno is not solid- it shifts and shimmers, flowing like liquid and hardening like mercury. The beasts inside it tend to follow certain humans, hence a human's shadow. There are a few that can harness their shadow's magical powers, like Maximelian, like us. There is one problem, though- the more you use your powers, the more of you turns to evil-turns to the shadows. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~!~ Powers ~!~ Shadowshifter: These extraordinary people can change their shape at will. They have very few weaknesses, although the ones that they do have are large. The Shadowshifter can absorb the shadow of anything, but their eyes become solid obsidian-like black. That is why most if not all Shadowshifters use veiling items such as veils, sunglasses, etc. ( If the thing is inaminate, eyes are put into it. Like having eyes in the trunk of a tree.) The object/victim in which they took appearances after will remain without a shadow for as long as the Shadowshifter is still using that appearance.
Telepath: These people can communicate with thier shadow using only their minds over great distances. They can talk to it and see through it's " eyes". The only problem is that their body can be attacked while doing this-you can't be in two bodies at once.
Nightmare Eyes: This particular power is extremely dangerous. A person can visualize anything and create that scene for specific people( Or a crowd-mass hallucination) to see. This power requires huge amounts of imagination and stamina. It is a difficult power to master, as it takes more energy when you add detail. The strongest users of this can make around 10-15 people hallucinate in a detailed hallucination.
Shadow shield: These people can make an almost impenetrable shield around themselves and anyone of whom they choose. The only weakness in this is that, while the shield is impenetrable, the user is not. the more power behind a hit, the more energy is sapped from the user. A strong user can shield 5-10 people when the hits aren't extremely strong.
Seer: These people can lower their vision into Seicento, where humans shouldn't be able to go. They can see anywhere and hear, anywhere on the planet. Seers are extremely uselful as messengers or spies, because they cannot speak or touch. Just see and hear. But much like the Telepath, they cannot move while doing this. You could call it Telepathic Teleporting.
Shadowshaper: These users can shape spikes, swords, almost anything from shadow. In rare cases, they can control unformed shadow. The larger the thing is, the more energy it takes. It is the same principle on how detailed it is.
Controller: The name pretty much explains it all. These people can control people by their shadows, but only one at a time. Very, very few can control people over great distances, but when they do their grip is extremely strong. Only other Controllers can break this.
Raven: This power is rare, and is the oddest of them all. Users can turn into pure shadow, able to drift in the sky or trhough solid objects. They effectively become as solid as ghosts. Only their heart remains unchanged, leaving them vulnerable.
A side effect of a person turned completely evil by their shadow is that, while they retain their powers and human form, their skin is paler than skin and their irises become black. They act unusual, and most of the times people try to get them to institutions. they effectively look like a shadow when it takes human form, but the only difference is that when a shadow takes human form its powers are gone. Human form weakenes them considerably, so they rarely use it.
Kinds of Shadows~ A few shadows are different. Here are some:
Very few can actually fight when in human form. In shadow form they cannot come to earth, only in Seicento are they strong. But one or two , when they turn into human form, can use their powers.
No shadow is "good". But a few will help humans, if only for their own benefit. Most just crave the delicacies that Earth gives.
Some can bring a human down into Seicento, protecting him/her by using its own power.
( This is not an official list. Just a guideline.)
Rules~ No Gmodding Don't misuse your powers. For example, if you are a Controller, don't make someone ki.ss . You will be banned instantly, by me or the admins. this is your one and only warning. Ignore any trolls-by arguing, you will just throw fuel onto the fire. No Jane Does or John Does. make your character unique! Put " An Unknown Shadow" in Other if you read this. Please use spelling and grammar. If you use horrible spelling( ex: Aiz blows up teh woorld; Translation: I blow up the world) just to be annoying, you will be warned two times before three day ban. Please use story mode. not like this: * I take the garbage out* Romance is limited. You can only have one power. Listen to me and the admins. Last but not least, have fun!

( The gadgets are basically the same thing we have today, except more advanced and without flaws. There are a few more unusual things, like paper-thin touch screens and the hoverboards I mentioned. iPods and iPads are so advanced that they are thousands of dollars. There is a microchip you can implant into someone's eye that you can track through a model of the iPad, seeing exactly what they are seeing and being able to speak to them through it. The countries haven't changed much, although Russia's borders shrank a little. yes, you may be in the military. Any job, or jobless. It doesn't matter. If you are in the military, then here is some information on the current weapons:
MP-9 can now shoot 150 rounds per second. Same with most other guns, as well as scopes that can see nearly three miles out on a relatively flat surface. Radios are now either implanted into the ear in the form of a microchip, or you can have the much older model, a tiny microphone on a cord.) |

I don't know, perhaps on that walrus tree. Just take a left at Lemon street. If your not driving a Lemon, the walrus` will most likely avoid you.

Name: Fant 'Lo' Sullo
Gen.der:Male
@ge:21
Powers:ShadowShaper
Appearance: His eyes are the black they usually are, and his skin is pale, like usual, he is a tad taller then the average height and has soft smooth brown hair which curls perfectly, his nose is well rounded and small, and his ears point, almost like an elf. He has a small build, but he still is quite strong. He is usually seen wearing a fedora, and a pair of pink aviators, Sometimes he has earplugs, and often wears, a black hoodie, a pair of white jeans and blue Timberlands. He does own a 'Skateboard' (Hoverboard) but he prefers not to use it.
Personality:He has a bit of a jokester personality, his voice is smooth like silk but he can get a bit out of controls with some of the 'jokes' he likes to play. He is known to be a deceiver and has a short temper.
Is your shadow unique? How so?: The shadow is unique because, every time he forms something out of shadow, it doesn't appear on his shadow, also, he loses the limb which holds the shadow tool, on his shadow.
Bio: As a youngster, he was considered to be quite popular, as he was reasonably intelligent and quite good at sports, He didn't really know this and was quite shy apart from around his friends. As he grew up he became more aware of his popularity, and accepted it very well.
When he grew into a teen, his shadow consumed him and gave him the power. He used it to pull pranks on people, but there was one person, he absolutely despised, and he soon got into a fight with him. He soon got out of control, formed a sword, and chopped that boy in half. Everyone had gasped at him, but the was already running to the gate, and away from his past. He now lives in America, putting the past behind him, but he is always a tad nervous.
Other:An unknown shadow

(Well, maybe we won't need to repost.) (Accepted.)
Name: Renn Daylo
Gen.der: Female
@ge: 19
Powers: Raven
Appearance: Renn is slightly shorter than the average for her age, and is underweight. She has long, red hair, that goes all the way to her waist. It is curly at the ends, giving it a fresh-from-the-hairdresser look. She has the normal black eyes, of which she hides with shades. With pale skin, she has no spots, freckles, nothing like that. She usually wears her black leather boots, with brown skinny jeans tucked into them. To go with that, a black blouse. And a cropped black jacket over that. (For some reason she is fashionable o-o)
Personality: She is fashionable, always commenting on people's clothes, but other than that, she can be mocking, and sarcastic. But even with this mean mask, she is a great leader underneath, smart, and can be kind. In her own way, anyway.
Is your shadow unique? How so? Her shadow is unique, as, when she turns into her raven-form, her shadow remains, but instead of the normal shadow, it is a more blood colour. But still, even as it remains, it is still much dimmer than other shadows.
Bio: At an early age, Renn was surrounded by friends. But then, they were more of followers than friends. She was popular, even in preschool. And elementary. Then, of course, high school. She was a wizz with words, and maths, which got her through to collage. Once there, it was only a few months later that her shadow caught her. She continued through collage mocking people as she went, giving fashion advice, acting the same. But still, there was one night, when her best friend came to her room to chat. They had a fight, ending with Renn, betrayed, angry, and embarrassed. With her friend still in the room, she sank through the wall, not really thinking. She heard a scream from her room, then another from the one she was in. Her hallmate, Shannon, was her neighbour, and of course she was freaked out when Renn floated through the wall. Annoyed, and scared, Renn packed her stuff quickly and fled from collage, moving away, hoping nothing too bad would happen. So, she lives alone now, except for her black cat, Sabrina. |

Name: Tristran Grayson
Gen.der: Male
@ge: 13
Powers: Shadowshaper (and nightmare eyes IF you can have multiple powers)
Appearance: A tall, fit looking boy. He stands at roughly 5'11", short, spiky brown hair. His arms look more developed than the rest of his body. He wears a jacket over a t-shirt, as well as some loose pants. His sneakers look battered, but in decent condition. When he looks at you, however, you sometimes can get goosebumps.
Personality: He is a joker and a social butterfly, but serious under pressure. In a fight, he goes from a young boy into a warrior. He generally will do something before thinking and without fear.
Is your shadow unique? How so?: My shadow looks like a taller, muscular version of me. So far, an unknown shadow.
Bio: Tristanus raised himself on the streets of his native Detroit. He managed to do well in school and graduate from high school at the age of 10. He got a full ride to UCLA Berkely, and had enough college credits to graduate at 12. He discovered his powers when one of his shadier friends tried to mug him in his school. He warped their shadow into a rope and tied the person to the floor. Now he acts as a vigilante, doing what he deems to be right. Over time, his sense of justice grew warped, and he started to work for the Mob. Now, he is the right hand man of one of the higher ups in the Detroit Mafia.
