    Accepted (1/3) - Recommendation of having your character's origin be earth (a portal can open up to take her to Eda) as Eda is the middle ages (her clothes are modern; juvie is also a modern thing). Overall great job!

    Suggestions/Comments: Crisis Academy is free, so perhaps the money she earned could be for travel and supplies or the like. Nice profile!

    I won't edit the form itself, but I will alter her history in the RP. Is that good?

    Name: Alastor Nightshade
    Username: Trainer Ebony
    Dorm #: A4
    Class Schedule: Art, Combat, Forging, History, Magic, Potions
    Age: 17
    Appearance: A slender, pale figure, standing at 5'11. His body is draped in an oversized black long sleeved shirt and pants of a similar fasion. His face is veiled in a dark blue scarf that wraps most of his face, as well as his neck. The only uncovered part of his face is his right eye, which glows a light purple. Peeking through the scarf, and hanging over his head is his mid length Crimson hair, which stands out over his dark wrappings. Underneath his clothes, a majority of his body is wrapped in bandages, likely concealing a set of red markings which peek out under his uncovered right eye.
    Race: Shadow bender
    Pet: Albino Snake: Boethiah (Named after a dedric prince)
    Pet Powers: Invisibility, Paralizing Venom
    Attribute: Chaotic neutral
    Element: Shadow
    Powers: Shadow manipulation, letting him form both solid and intangible objects from shadows, matching the real thing in feeling, such as weapons with sharp blades, body doubles that would feel like hitting the real thing, etc. This ability is limited by 'shadow mass', meaning he cant make more than what the shadow can provide. An example is that he couldnt make a solid shadow double from his shadow alone, as it would not provide enough 'shadow mass' to create a copy of his body. He could, however, create an intangible shadow double, as it wouldnt require any extra mass. With enough 'shadow mass', however, what can be created is only limited my ones imagination. He can, as he is now however, only maintain up to 4 solid shadows, or 10 illusions maximum at one time, and the more he trys to form or the larger the formation, the harder it is to manipulate them.
    Additionally, shadows can not be used in absolute darkness, as there is no way to draw a line between the shadows and the darkness. This problem goes away with the introduction of any light to the area, brining his abilities to their peak at sunrise and set, when shadows are at their biggest. He believes there is more to his abilities, and that the limits can be extended, or even broken with the right teacher.

    Bio: Shadow benders are the product of an ancient order known as 'The Veil' that study this unusual abiltiy, often committing dark rituals to grant this power for themselves, often in a misguided persuit of differing wishes, most commonly immortality. Alastors parents were once part of this order, and were devout followers. When Alastors mother became pregnanat, she was used in one of the orders rituals, which is how Alastor gained the abilities in utero. He was to be worshiped as a prophet in the order, not unlike the Buddha, once he came of age (10).
    Prior to reaching age 10, he lived a semi normal life, aside from the dark religion he was a part of. He had friends, went to school, and was completely unaware of his place in 'The Veil', despite the abilities occasionally showing themselves. However, once he came of age, all was revealed to him. He was taken to their temple, and told of his fate before being forcably scard with the full body tattoos that marked him as their prophet.
    For the months to follow, he was to stay in the temple, body bare to keep his tattoos exposed, while the members of The Veil gathered to worship him and try to understand his powers. The whole ordeal frightened the boy, as one would expect, and caused him to withdraw into himself durring the period afterward. He wouldnt speak or look at anyone, and would barely eat or drink what was brought to him.
    After the first year of this had nearly passed, finally Alastor moved from his near statue-like stillness. He stood, still not granting anyone his gaze, and his hands slowly rose from his sides, the entire collective order watching in awe of his every movement. This position was held, almost resembling that of one being crusified due to his lowered head, long enough for word to spread of his first movements since the ritual and the members of The Veil to collect to see their prophet. Once the mass of the group had collected, the doors shut on their own, Alastors head moved to view the group, and the lights dimmed at his motion. The collective grew silent, waiting for their prophets words. What came instead was the horrid scream of his first victems, his parents. His father appeared to have a dark blade through his chest, while his mother had been chopped in half at the waist. As the group came to relize what had occured, most quickly scrambled for the doors, while some accepted this as the way to the gifts they desired. Either way, none of them made it out alive, each killed by the shadows they worshiped turned on them. He walked out that day with the first smile he had worn in a year, his bare, pale body stained with blood
    Alister wrapped his body to conceal the marks that remind him of that place, and for the next 6 years, he drifted, attempting to get as far from this whole thing as possible. Its unknown to him how he reached the plane of reality the Academy exists in, perhapse he was guided by whatever diety granted him his cursed powers in the first place.
    Theme Song (Optional):

    Additional notes: The Veil unknowingly worshiped the cretures of the Twilight World, explaining the similarities in his abilities with that of a Shade. (To be honest, I didnt read your character till after I wrote to the post-slaughter part and needed a break to think :sweat: So, here working the similarities into something interesting :D)

    Crisis Academy is beautiful.

    Ebony! Your character skeleton is incredible *u* I especially like his back story and his name!
    However, before you may post, the CA staff would like for you to make a few adjustments to your character skeleton :)

    Okay, first off, his abilities! We think he needs one more limitation for his abilities, aside from needing light to perform. Here are two suggestions we came up with:
    1. He cannot use shadows created by artificial light. Meaning he could only use shadows created by sunlight, moonlight, fire, lightning, etc.
    2. He is limited to only using his own shadow, which size changes depending on the lighting/time of day.
    • Another thing with his powers is that they require a light source, That part is fine, but it is mentioned that his powers are strongest in moonlight. Wouldn't his powers be strongest in sunlight, since the sun creates more light than the moon? :o Just a question we had!

    Secondly, in his bio it is said that he reached the lightning field and passed through. This is not allowed in a bio. The Lightning Field is one of the entrances/challenges on the way to Crisis Academy. Alastor passing through the lightning field is something you would need to write out in an actual post.

    Let us know when you've made the changes or have any questions! :D

    Thank you :D Im glad you like it, it took me all that night to do.

    Does it realy need more limits? Its like a Shades ability put into a human, and Satix shade character doesnt seem to have any limits at all.
    Also, wouldnt preventing him from using unnatural light be pointless here? Theres like no electronics rite? Also, stopping him from using anything but his own shadow would have to eliminate the shadow mass limit, or else he wouldnt be able to make body doubles.
    I could make another limit if its realy neccisarry, but just compairing to a similar ability, Alastor is tame compaired to that.

    My logic for the moon thing is that at night, its light enough to have shadows, but dark enough that most of whats around is still in darkness, where as in sunlight, itd be far brighter, eliminating much of the darkness. Maybe my logics flawed tho. it was like 7 am when I finished XP
    . Thinking about it, maybe Sunrise and set would be better peaks to his power.

    As for the Lightning fields thing, its gone. :)

    Ebony, please read the rules thoroughly. Your profile is missing something and your comparison to my character is answered.

    Well, a couple of things:
    • Crisis Academy Staff do not have any limits
    • You forgot to add the bit that clarifies that you read the rules in the first place:
      "8. Write "Crisis Academy is beautiful." so that we know you read the rules."
    Edit: I didn't see the Crisis Academy bit, I'm sorry.

    Sunrise and set would make sense - that's when the shadows are most drastic. When you go through the Lightning Field, just remember to make it somewhat of a challenge for your character.

    Yeah, I edited my previous post. I didn't see that bit; I apologize. I read through it the first time only on my phone at 8 in the morning, so I missed it, sorry. But yes, you need a limit. So, for a limit, I'd recommend capping the amount of shadows he can have at one time. Also, as a quick heads up, I'm going to be changing the name of the Shadow Realm to the Twilight World. It's no big deal, but I just wanted to let you know.
