[hider=Sirius Nightshade] [b]Appearance:[/b] He has dark Black eyes and is frail as can be, looking almost sickly. His most defining feature is a long scar running from just beside his eye all the way to his jawline. His hair is shoulder length and smooth. [b]Powers:[/b] His shadow manipulation powers are one of great magnitude. He has mastered the darkness throughout his many years of life and considers it something like his home. He is able to teleport around when in the darkness, make clones of himself if necessary, and of course turn the shadows into a solid form and manipulate it to his will. He can create things like combustable orbs, sharpened shards of dark matter--Anything his mind can think of, and mostly without any effort (Unless it's a significant attack, then he may be fatigued). Although his frail figure says otherwise, Sirius is actually extremely strong and fast, giving himself great power in hand to hand combat. [b]Minor Power:[/b] Because of his time in the depths of hell, his perception of pain has decreased. This means that he can be hit, stabbed, bruised, however it is unlikely that he will feel any pain unless it's a fatal wound [b]Weapons:[/b] He only carries a sword made of an unknown solid black material. It is razor sharp and when it cuts into skin, begins necrosis in that area. Depending on how deep the gash is tells how fast the necrosis will spread. [b]Personality:[/b] Sirius is an egotistical asshole. He believes that he is the best, and when he doesn't get his way, he usually tries for cheap shots. He wants to be recognized as a God among men and firmly believes that he SHOULD be recognized as that way. Sirius is extremely psychopathic, going as far as singing to terrify his opponents with his soft voice that can grow jagged and demonic within a moment's notice. Harming and scaring people gives him the equivalent good vibes of a drug induced high. [b]Backstory:[/b] Sirius Nightshade probably has one of the more prolific lives in modern history. His adolescense has been expunged from all records, and the first time he is documented at all is when he first began to lead a disfigured cult known simply as "The Court of Nightshade". At this time, he had no shadow manipulation powers--He was simply a devilish human. The cult ran rampant until Sirius was unceremoniously murdered at the hands of a member of a vigilante group. He was brought back to life years later by a menacing beast with no name and inflicted with the powers of shadow manipulation. Upon his return, he began to invoke havoc wherever he went--Which had become especially easy given that the Fraysans, an alien race of beings (They will be mentioned more later), had invaded the Earth. He chose no side, fighting both the Fraysan beasts and the heroes fighting them in an attempt to become the king, the Earth's God. He ripped people to pieces, desecrated their graves, raped a woman and nearly got his wish before being brought down at the hands of a bounty hunter known as Nikolai Alec. Once again, Sirius Nightshade was thrown into the depths of hell. However, unlike last time, he got out himself. It took him a good 40+ years to do it, but one day he crawled right out from the magma caverns below the Earth and scratched his way through the dirt and stone until he emerged back on the surface. Only this time, he had realized that the Fraysan invasion had ended. It was a few days after his return that he met Valkyrie, and they sparred for a while, showing a strength that nearly equalled Sirius' own. Intrigued and desiring to keep the woman at his side only, he proceeded to kidnap her and torture her until she agreed to loyally stand by him. What resulted from this was the birth of twins--Marcus and Viktor Nightshade--Or so Sirius thought. As Sirius was inducting his two boys into the Court with a long scar on their infant faces, Valkyrie unexpectedly had a third child--Zeta. Fearing that Sirius would kill the girl, she left her at somebody's home and Sirius never heard about her until 20 years later. And it was from that moment that he trained his sons to be killers, just as he is now. Due to his times in Hell, he has ceased to age for some reason, leaving him still with the looks of a 30 year old (Albeit sick) man. He still goes on his crusade to recruit members of the Court of Nightshade, while simultaneously trying to be recognized as the true God he is. TAKE NOTE: This backstory is merely flavoring for my larger stories/RPs that I've already made. Sirius is still killable and isn't actually a God. He's completely human aside from not aging and manipulating shadows extremely well. [/hider]
