-Introduction-

"Good morning, Mercer City! This is your friendly neighboorhood anchorman, Pete McMannis, with today's news. Our top story for the hour, local billionaire and business mogul, Reed Haynes, has donated a aztec relic to the Mercer City Museum of Science and Natural History, which was thought to be lost to history. This relic, called "The Revealing Stone" was said to be found in a lost ruin somewhere in the dense forests of Peru. And the ruin was found by an expedition team, funded and led by Haynes himself. And Haynes even gave a speech to an audience that was present to the relic's addition event. Here is he had to say:

Haynes: Greetings and salutations, fellow citizens. Today I bring to you a piece of missing history, so mysterious in fact that it was not even recorded in the carvings of the ruins at all. I do not know what the stone is supposed to do but I learn from my fellow members of the expedition that the stone apparently possesses "great power". I can feel a certain something coming from it, but I digress. But, I not only give you this relic in hopes that we learn more about the history of centuries past, but I give you something even greater, a chance to open your eyes to new or old and exciting experiences from all over the world. Because that is what makes us humans so special, we make our mark on the world and hope others learn and grow from our culture and our teachings. So please accept this gift from me, in hopes that you learn and grow from those before us. Thank you."

What a great person. Anyways, the museum is putting on the finishing touches to the exhibit for where the Revealing Stone will be held and will be available to the public by tomorrow morning. I definitely want to get a good look at how valuable it is. Kidding, only kidding! This is Pete McMannis, saying good day, Mercer City! And have a safe one!"

-That night, something bizarre happened...

"Greetings, Mercer City. I'm Pete McMannis with a breaking news story. Eyewitness reports are coming in about a sighting of a strange and foreboding wave of dark energy flying through the city, hitting any and all bystanders, knocking them off balance or a slight nudge. But the dread and fear felt from the dark wave are profound. Some even say that the wave originated from the Mercer City museum. Authorities are already on the scene and are investigating all exhibits to find the source of this strange and eerie phenomenon. So far, they have found no explosive ordinance remains or anything that would resemble a detonator. Some claim that the wave might have come from the museum's new exhibit, the Revealing Stone. Authorities are skeptical that such a thing could happen, but have not ruled it out as a cause. As for us here at Mercer City News, we will give you full updates as the story develops. This is Pete McMannis saying good day, and be safe out there."

-Three days later

"Hello, Mercer City. You know who I am so let's get to the news, shall we? It's been three days since the dark wave hit our fair city and since then, strange occurrences and bizarre incidents have been plaguing the city up to this point. reports of people seeing strange shadowy figures that follow them where-ever they go as well as people dying in gruesome and strange ways. Medical personnel and Authorities have been on their toes to try and figure out the causes of these bizarre deaths but with no clues or evidences, trails are going cold left and right. And if that isn't enough, reports from off the street have been coming in about the ramblings of people talking about the "return of a god" and his intentions of "creating a new era for the earth". Police believe to think that maybe the killings have been made by a cult like group who might be worshiping this "god" and might be following his orders. The police also believe that if this cult exists, then they might have been the ones who have released the dark wave from the museum, when asked about how, the police have yet to figure it out. As for us here, we will make sure to update you as the story develops. But I ask you, not as a reporter, but a good man, please be safe. We don't know what's going on in our fair city, but whatever it is, I fear its only the beginning....This is Pete McMannis saying, be careful out there. Alright? Thanks."

-Shades: The Inner Demons of Society-

A strange event happened when a wave of dark energy hit the town one night. Now people are starting to see figures, shadowy figures, following them around. What's even worse, they appear to be of their own making, as the shadows appear to represent them, well the worst parts of themselves. And if that's not enough, people are going nuts, as some claim a god has risen once more to reclaim the earth and bring about a new era. Whatever that means, it can be good for Mercer City or anyone else. Can anyone rise up and find out what the fuck is going on in this city? Or will it fall to this so-called "God" and become the domain for which he will rule the earth? Nothing is certain, except one thing. Some serious shit is about to go down...

-Welcome to Mercer City-

Shades



Well, I guess I helped you out enough already, what you will learn from this point forward will be for you to discover. But be careful, those loons ain't nothing to play with. And I'm sure there are those who are not only embracing their Shades, but using them as they please. So be on your toes, got it? Good, now get going, you got a life to live and so do I...

Name: Jackal Christopher Abel

Age: 18

Appearance:





Personality: Jackal is a hot headed kid with a lot of energy and a rebellious attitude. He tends to be pretty slick and cocky but has a short temper, especially when someone pokes a whole in his ego.

Shade Name: Kilgarrah

Shade Abilities:

[*] Heatproof
Kilgarrah can essentially absorb or channel heat away from his host, as if the host himself was fire proof. This method works even if the host is doused in molten iron.

[*] Fire Spawn
Kilgarrah can create flames within his shade range, around the host, or shoot projectiles of fire such as fire breathe and fireballs. With use of manifestation fire breathing can become much more effective

[*] Manifestation evoking
Kilgarrah can vanish and recreate himself as enlarged body portions of his original form in a ghastly and transparent form. For example, a giant tail or claw. Doing this can be used to swing or hit things with great force though the manifestation wont last longer then a few seconds. He can also be used alternatively as a shield by either blocking with an arm or making serpentine manifestations around the host. Manifestations can only be used by using the host as an epicenter or source for it, essentially making Jackal vulnerable unless it is a defensive technique.

Personal Skills:

Athletic: Being well fit he can run fairly fast with plenty of endurance.

Pain tolerance: With frequent accidents or street fights occurring in his past, Jackal can definitely take a beating and not say "uncle".

Hardcore parkour:
His fair share of running from trouble across city obstacles has given him a nice talent of maneuvering through dangerous leaps and structures.
Street fighter:
With both the effects of his shade and his own physical finesse Jackal has a balanced blend of offensive and defensive capabilities, filling either role exceptionally well at any moment which certainly makes him a tough opponent. His past experiences in fighting other juvenile delinquents in the street strengthens this trait.

Intimidation:
Being raised on the streets and having a dragon for a shade Jackal knows definitely how to strike fear into most of your typical street thugs.

Creative:
To survive in the city against thugs and punks without any weapons all by yourself. Your mind tends to train itself more creative or unconventional methods to get out of a bad situation or turn a fight to your favor. This creativity will especially shine in combat whether it being a unique use of his shade's ability or the surrounding environment, or both.

Flaws/Insecurities:

[*] Insecure responsibility
He is scared of commitment and a bit shy when talking to pretty girls, so he tends to avoid such a scene at all costs.

Honorbound:
Jackal is too prideful to let himself stay out of a fight between two shades, and he believes that kilgarrah shouldn't be burdened with all the work. As a result and his experience as a street fighter Jackal's typical strategy involves him getting dangerously up close and personal to his opponents, though he will also mix it up In between rushing an opponent to blast his targets with fire or use his shade to deal with an enemy's shade so he can deal with the enemy himself. While him and his shade practically fight in unison, this puts him at a far greater risk then the typical shade user.

[*] Season moody
hates cold weather and doesn't like going out of its below room temperature outside. He also tends to shift from a rather active individual into a moody and inactive kid when the weather is cold and/or miserable.

[*] Arachnophobia
since he was a child he had an irrational fear of spiders. Surprisingly he doesn't have a problem with insects and other critters.

[*] Pride
He has a large ego that suits his tend-to-be cocky nature. Arguably his biggest weakness since this is the cause for poor decision making in many different situations, overestimating himself and his shade, or underestimating others or a challenge at hand.

[*] Stubborn
If he gets an idea he will most likely stick with it too the end, even if the odds are stacked against it. He also hates having to give up or listen to others' advice

[*] too cool for school
he often has no problem ignoring the law or orders from other should he have reason to do so, or if he's feeling lazy. Rarely will he consider the consequences.

[*] Insecure feelings
he tends to avoid the mushy crap of affection or even admitting to liking a friend, so hell either dodge the question or lie and say something condescending.

[*] Greedy
He's not a thief, but to him its "Finder's keepers". Rarely will he give something up from his person easily.

You literally could have written anything after "Jojo" and I would have still been like, "Aw hell yeah." And then you actually wrote something pretty interesting! I think it's really cool how you mixed up the whole Pillar Men thing with the stand-giving arrow, and even set it in a place like Morioh! It's like the best of parts 2, 4, and 5.

Anyway! Here's a lil character that I managed to adapt to this:



Well, I tried to balance out her raw power with what I thought were fair drawbacks, although if there's anything that needs to be changed or fixed, I'm very open to criticism.

That being said, I'm fairly sure I mixed up the word "shade" and "stand" somewhere in this app! I also kinda changed up your app a little there so I could translate all my information from my original app to the one you have in here, since I wanted to post my character in this thread.

Thanks for the kind word, friend. I really love Jojo so I wanted to do something involving that and also put my own spin on the concept. :D

I would like to recommend people use hiders for the longer portions of your CS's please? That way if a specific person needs to be found we can avoid a wall of text that needs to be scrolled through? :3
