Powers: Seamus, like his father, is connected to the Shadowlands, a realm of primordial quasi-sentient darkness that has existed since before the creation of matter, giving him the ability of Erebokinesis, darkness control. Seamus so far has been able to create simple constructs from already existing shadows and levitate himself. Seamus has also developed a way of channeling darkness into a type of weapon he calls 'Shadow Wire'. Though he hasn't been able to summon any to earth Seamus has been able to communicate with beings of the Shadowlands, most of which being forms of demons. Unlike his father though, Seamus has to yet be able to generate his own darkness, having to rely on what's already present. He also hasn't been able to shadow travel willing, a form of teleportation. His connection to the Shadowlands is not as established other shadow wielders, causing him to require a magic ring to concentrate his powers.
Weaknesses:-Light wielders: People with "holy" magic have been able to null out Seamus' powers, though he does the same to their powers as well, leaving him to rely on allies to get him to safety.
-No darkness: Seamus' powers have yet to develop to the point that he can produce any significant amount of shadows, meaning if there is no near by darkness his powers are severely hindered.
-Mortal: Despite his otherworldly powers Seamus is still mortal, meaning a bullet to the head will kill him like anyone else.
-Ring: Do to Seamus' shaky connection to the Shadowlands he has to rely on a special ring to concentrate his powers. If he loses contact with his ring his powers are known to go haywire, forming constructs he didn't ask for, attacking him and others, or even in extreme cases teleporting him to random places.
Equipment: -Satchel: A enchanted satchel that is able to hold a large amount of objects with ease and keeps it shape, he uses it to carry his books.
-Books on a wide variety of magics, from necromancy to holy magic. He has at least twenty at all times, which he keeps in his satchel
-Black ring: A ring that focuses his powers. It is made from a black metal, found only in the Shadowlands, that is freezing to the touch and has a vulture engraved on it.
-Shadow wire: When he is in combat he forms a series of nearly invisible strings, that wrap around his fingers, from his own shadow. They are used to snare and unbalance opponents or used as whips, the more energy he puts into them the sharper they become. He has been able to put enough energy into them to allow them to cut through bone, though he rarely does this because it is dangerous and it tires him out rather quickly.
Personality: Seamus prides himself on his cool and calm demeanor, thinking of himself as the Jazz music he loves so much, a order in all the chaos. One of the traits he picked up from his father is his temper, it taking a lot to set him off but once triggered he's like a bat out of hell. He finds a odd joy in being in combat, visibly enjoying himself while fighting. He has a great fire that drives him forward to protect any and everyone he can, his mother says it is from his O'Dare blood. He takes great pride in his Irish roots, often wearing a kilt in his off times. He may not be the most talkative person, but he doesn't shy away from social interactions either.
History: Seamus was born the oldest child, his younger sisters being twins named Sarah and Sophie, of Opal city's police chief Hope O'Dare, the first female police chief in the city's history, and Richard Swift, The Shade one of the superhumans who didn't register for with the R.E.A.C.H act. Despite never being formally married they tried to keep the kids' life as simple as possible, going as far to hide Richard's secret identity from them. Seamus' life was fairly normal until his tenth birthday when his powers manifested, in the form of transporting him to the Shadowlands. Seamus spent a week lost in the realm, something that would of drove most men mad. The only way the boy survived was by the will of the Shadowlands it self, it guiding Seamus away from the evil beings the dwelled there. He was saved by his father who travelled to the other realm do to his own connection with it. After his return to earth Seamus was told the secret his parents hide from him his whole life. Though he was hurt by the distrust his parents showed him, even now still resenting them slightly, he was ecstatic to have this whole new world, literally, presented to him.
Seamus then set off to learn all he could about his powers and how he could return to the Shadowlands, something his father told him to never do. He has studied under his father, Zatanna and even Dr. Fate to improve his knowledge on the mystic arts. He has also spoken in secret with other worldly beings, Demons such as Etrigan and spirts like the Specter being a few, to learn spells his instructors refused to teach him. The feat Seamus is most proud of is the creation of his own unique spell he named Shadow wire, getting the idea when he spoke with a shadow demon who tried to posses him. He, like his father, has yet to register his powers.
Appearance: Seamus is about 5'10 with pale, almost grey, skin and messy jet black hair. He has a slim frame and weighs about 130 pounds. His eyes are a deep royal purpel color.
Seamus' costume is formal attire that resembles his father's suit. His hair also straightens as if it has just been combed.
Other: Seamus learn to construct a working saxophone out of shadows to play.
I'd have to say the Joker because I've always felt sorry for him.
