Power Set (only one power per character): Shadow Mimicry
Ollie can transform his body completely into shadow. Once this has occurred, although anatomically similar he would be entirely composed of shadow. In this form, he can manipulate darkness, from extending shadows to blocking out light from a room, although; this shadow form is quite powerful as a being he is more vulnerable to attacks a reasonable attack on his shadow form would do twice the internal damage it would do to an average human. Alternatively, Ollie can turn into homogenous matter. When active, Ollie can assume a two-dimensional form, and extend outward to become a larger shadow, blend into shadows completely, or even teleport through them. Although many times more powerful, the amount of concentration required for Ollie to obtain this form means that it is only obtainable at periods of extreme darkness. Once in this state, he is considered an only half physical being, which energy flows through his being, giving extra protection to vital organs bones and systems.
Background story:Ollie was born into a harsh family, surviving on the edge of poverty and struggling to feed every member. From his perspective, his family were unmistakably oppressed. His father, a previous council member, had been dishonourably retired from his position to no fault of his own, and with his reputation ruined he was no longer able to work, leaving his mother to care for the family as well as produce an income. Ollie did well for himself, considering his past, managing to get a placement at a university to study Asian History. His grandfather always used proverbs from Sun Tzu’s ‘the art of war' which led him to gain interest in the subject.
It was on his 21st birthday when he discovered his powers, during his party in which Ollie had invited his old school friends and family, the police raided his house due to allegations of class A drugs as well as bribery of an official. When Ollie saw the cops dragging his father away, he was enraged, activating his abilities. He doesn’t remember a lot of the events that transpired. From what Ollie could recall; The world turned monochromatic, and Ollie felt about two foot taller, Ollie remembered flailing at the police squad and throwing them around like they were nothing. He only remembered waking up the next day in a patch of woodland. Ollie tried going back to his family, but they were under armed guard, Ollie was pretty sure that people would be looking for him by now. He went back to the woodland and started trying to recall the powers, evoking that same anger, slowly trying to piece together how his powers worked. He was barely surviving once he had mastered his shadow form, only gathering food from waste and scraps.
With his shadow form close to learned he took to a store and robbed it for supplies, the shop keeper could do little to stop him. He didn’t exactly like cheating from the innocent he understood it was a necessary evil to return to society. He didn’t classify it as theft as he had paid with the leftover change he had collected over the past week, it probably wasn’t enough, but the thought still counts. This trend continued robbing small stores for a little bit of food and water, but after time his needs grew, and he was taking more. His eventual goal; to find the source of his father's misery. He followed lead after lead, waiting for the chance to reclaim his father’s dignity. Just when he had nearly given up, he was tipped off about a police detective who had supposedly found the evidence for his parents' incarceration. When confronted he admitted his wrong doings, but with anger taking over, Ollie’s feelings turned to rage, causing him to beat down the police officer furiously. It didn’t take long for a member of the public to call the cops, causing Ollie to run once again. He paused for a moment and made a promise to eliminate any form of corruption wherever he saw it. With whatever it took and destroyed whoever crossed his path
He spent roughly ten years seeking out organisations and hunting them down. That was before the aliens invaded. Ollie continued to set out upon his tasks but finding aliens at every other corner was becoming more than an annoyance. The Aliens were better equipped and much stronger than his common targets. Upon following up on an old case he stumbled into an alien controlled stronghold, his powers helped him survive for a small time, but it didn't take long before they had surrounded him.
