The shadow knows...

The NightBringer · Fri May 18, 2007 8:53 am

Given Name: The Nightbringer

Real Name: Erebus

Race: Sentient Dark Matter (Living Shadow)

Place of Birth: Darkest remote corner of the universe.

Gender: Physical gender is meaningless to a shadow, however mentally he is very much of a male mind set even if he is capable of disguising himself as the other.

Age: Born at the dawn of time, and forced from his first slumber when light and life filled the dark void of his home.
Height: Varies
Weight: Varies

Eye Color: Black, grey or burning red, all share the same penetrating glare or piercing cruelty.
Skin Color/Texture: Like the deepest shadow yet smooth, like an ever shifting liquid latex

Hair: Should he be disguised in a human visage, it will always be a deep inky black that moves with nearly a life of its own. The only exception is if he has possessed a host and has reverted back to that form.

Body Build: Varies, unless in host form then as per host.
Tail: Not often does the creature bother with such, but depending on the form he has chosen it can be of any size or length.

Wings: Same as tail, but ultimately Nights preferred method of travel is via the shadows.
Wingspan: Varies. (It would seem that varies is the answer of the day.)
Wing Color: Black

Tentacles: Varies by number and size.
Cock Size/Number: See above, answer for tentacles.

Attack Preference: In daylight - subtle and cautious, stalking his victims with a unending patience until the moment where either fear, terror, or curiosity drives them into an area where he can shift tactics to a more direct (or fun) approach. Prefers hunting at night, but anytime will work when the mood strikes him. No longer needs a host to enter the physical realm due to his time spent within in and having grown used to it. Like the creature itself his attacks vary and depend entirely upon his mood whether he will conjure and create shadow monsters from the darkness, simply go after his target himself or lure them into a trap depends entirely on his will. Though he may try and make his prey bargain with him to lure another worthy girl to him...to have his way with both of them.

Motivation: Fed from the darkness that he moves in, the creature itself is self sustaining. His primary reason for doing anything is quite truly for his own amusement and to see how lesser beings (as he sees them) react to him. This is hardly his only reason, as the creature most certainly enjoys the thrill of the chase / hunt and the many different pleasures to be had from his prey. Nightbringer also delights watching his prey's reactions from defiance and fear. . .to pleasure or sometimes just pain.

Personality/Behavior: Highly intelligent, sadistic and cruel but behind that also lies a brutal and savage beast if angered. Having born witness to a great many things in the passage of time there will often be a mocking polite demeanor behind his words along hiding his callous nature and cold uncaring for anything but his own musings.

Sexual Oddities: Depends on his mood, though often he cares little if the girl enjoys it or not.

Human Disguise Form / Alternate Forms: Yes.

Human Disguise Appearance: When in daylight Night is stuck in one of two forms. The first being an actual shadow, existing partially in the physical realm and that of his void home. The second is either that of the host he has chosen to use to help cross the gap back into the material world or that of his own, darkly human guise. Though the lesser form of a human can be convenient, he tends to twist it into that of hybrid of his own form and the humans, letting those who happen to gaze upon him a sliver of understanding to the darkness that awaits them.

Clothing: As per host or whatever he pulls from the void, but usually none.

Special Attributes/ Capabilities: Able to manipulate / generate shadows (bending them to his dark will as he sees fit). Shadow ride, shape-shift and a great number of other dark powers tied into his shadowy nature.

Distinguishing features: None, which makes him hard to spot.

Weaknesses: Daylight directly can hold many of his more formidable powers at bay, though artificial light can stun him...it can be overcome depending upon it's strength.

Likes: Human girls have caught his interest, playing and toying with others and of course dark spaces.
Has developed a preference for blonde's, their hair reminds him of morning light and takes great pleasure in corrupting it.

Dislikes: Bright stars.

History / Origins: The creature had re-awoken on Shokushu, surprised to say the least to find himself trapped...contained inside of this squishy human body. His very presence inside of it has caused the human to change and twist into a twisted, cruel shadow of its former self. That was not all that had changed, the slumbering dark being had ripped the knowledge the man once possessed from his mind and took it as his own. It was then he learned how he came to be here and how he came to be stuck in this form. Scientists had discovered him but were unaware that the small fragment of dark matter they had found and their sensors had found the slightest sign of self awareness from within it. Taking back to NICE labs, they had begun their experiments wanting to unlock its secrets. Instead of learning anything, they had only stirred the creature and the unwitting janitor whom had been cleaning the lab where he was housed that day had been instinctively grabbed by the weakened blob of shadow. The binding came with a price, as all things do. Primal desires of lust, pleasure and hunger filled his mind...nearly driving the eternal being insane as he was filled with a dark rage. He fled the labs that same night, stealing himself away in the forest...hiding trying to make sense of everything that had changed. His connection to the void was growing stronger but it would take time...time he could use to better make sense of this lesser being and the desires that were contained within. Years were spent learning everything he could about present day humanity, languages, customs, cultures as with every passing moment the shadows and him became one once more and his access to their knowledge and even other planets grew. It amazed him how much humanity had changed but yet at the very core had remained the same, almost steadfast in their refusal to evolve beyond their lesser mortal coil. Such is the way of lesser beings that intrude into his home. His old belief towards humans had been one of loathing and he had only sought their destruction, as before their spark had entered the universe it was filled with a perfect nothingness. Now having learned the enjoyments to be wrought from these humans, the dark being has blended his old will with these newly discovered urges.

General appearance: Though rarely sticking to one clearly defined shape, the basic look is always the same. Either that like a shadow, but a bit deeper black than normal shadows should be with grey or red eyes located somewhere where the creatures head may appear. When physically manifested in the world (and not in a humanoid form) the creature's skin is like a liquid tar; shinny, slimy and ever shifting. The form varies but usually takes a size larger than his prey, human-like as far as that the form will be standing on two legs with multiple tentacle arms and other appendages freely swaying. Another of his forms is that of a twisted human with ashen grey skin, empty void like eyes and liquid black hair more like a inky liquid than hair is the form should he manifest in the daylight. His mouth, should it open is much like his eyes. Nearly like a hole in space, with a shadowy tentacle tongue writhing about in the darkness, though strangely handsome. Like his twisted human form, his normal one is very much a dark Adonis. Black hair, dead grey eyes, chiseled and muscular features are the staple, though being a shape-shifter the appearence like the being himself can be changed on a whim.
