User blog:Shadowblade777/Shadow (Assassin)

Name: Shadow

Age: 17

Race: Human/Monster Hybrid (Unknown Monster species)

Class: Demon Assassin

Energy: Stamina, Darkness

Equipment:
 * Clothing:
 * Night Luna: A sleek, dark blue cloth overall with intricate designs, said to shimmer in the moonlight. Perfectly tailored for Shadow and light enough to move in freely, they are actually an extension of his inner darkness and are the only clothes he desires to wear.
 * Demon's Gaze: A silver horn-like accessory attached on top a dark blue feather ornament.
 * Weapon:
 * Demon's Curse: A Blade Staff that takes the appearance of two dark-red slender longswords with a demonic eye embedded in their centers and bat wings for a cross guard, covered by a unique aesthetic depending on its form, with the pommels permanently fused together by magic. They serve as an extension of Shadow himself; he can materialize and unsummon them at will, especially during battle. The power of the blade is divided into two forms, though Shadow can only utilize one form at a time.
 * Death: Favored by Shadow. When the weapons glow a deep black, the blade hungers for blood and death and assaults with extremely quick, clean kills.
 * Darkness: Favored by Shadow's "summon" Phantom, and is only available to Shadow once he fully awakens his inner darkness. When surrounded by a shroud of a thick black mist, the blade channels and controls darkness with erratic attacks or restraints to slowly wear down the enemy, toying with them until they submit.

Biography:

A young boy was born in a small village of coexisting humans and monsters at the northernmost point in the Noah Region, but the moment he was born, the Ilias Kreuz organization raided his village and murdered everyone, then took all the children and infants to their secret base in southwest Noah and recruited them under their cause. For ten years, he trained under the terrorists and earned the name "Shadow" for his extreme talent in stealth, but he secretly despised them due to their negligence and while training by himself outside of the terrorist's base he befriended an Alraune name Rose. Once he was 10 and passed the terrorist's "age of coming" test and ceremony, they presented him the final test: slay a captured monster, Rose. Enraged, he helped Rose tried rebel, but the two were easily overpowered and the terrorists carted them off to Yamatai Mountains. At the secluded snowy region, the terrorists tried to force Shadow into killing Rose, then kill their traitorous human. Instead, an awakened dark manifestation appeared around Shadow and using his assassin powers he murdered all the loyal Ilias Kreuz in the blink of an eye, then passed out.

A year later, Shadow recovered and found himself recovering in the Yamatai Village. The famed Heavenly Knight Tamamo appeared before him and explained that she rescued him and Rose before they froze to death, and had already sent her kitsune force and enlisted Grand Noah's aid to eliminate the threat of Ilias Kreuz, confining them in Grand Noah's jail cells. She also told him that a dark power, that of an ancient monster's, had awakened and surged within his body, which is what led her to him, keeping him under tabs since day one via Rose. Tamamo agreed to take Shadow under her wing and help him harness his dark powers.

To this day, Shadow has grown into a powerful human known as the "Demon Assassin" and is one of Tamamo's right hands, rumored to be above Nanabi and Yao, using his abilities to serve her and the Monster Lord herself. He assassinates those considered threats to the Monster Lord and continues to train every day with the citizens of Yamatai Village, whether it be physically, mentally, or sexually. He strives for the ideals of coexistence, believing that his human body infused with monster blood is proof of this achievement, and uses this power to fight and defeat the followers of Ilias and one day the evil goddess herself.

Personality:

Shadow has a kind and compassionate heart towards humans and monsters, the very beings that made and shaped him. He is also willing to help those in need and is even eager to have sex with others, whether it be "forbidden" (e.g. lolis or incest), though due to his powerful monster blood, he may end up reversing the situation and have his own lustful way. Surprisingly he is more gentle when having sex, not using any form of torture or death, and often allows the woman to have their way.

When it comes to dealing with evil monsters or Ilias's followers, Shadow feels responsible in upholding his duties as a Heavenly Knight's hand, and will take measures using the Monster Lord's "power to maintain order" law. Depending on how drastic the situation is, Shadow may even feel the need to become merciless and, with permission, execute. Regardless of any circumstance, he is always on-guard, very calm, confident, silent, and serious, as if he applied the Serene Mind. Being intelligent and analytical, he always acknowledges his own strengths and weaknesses as well as those around him, knowing to act cautiously and without reckless abandon. He hates failing his missions (and disappointing Tamamo and the Monster Lord) and will take any means necessary to complete them.

His past has left him quite shy and reserved, only opening up to those who are kind to him or whom he knows and trusts, such as Tamamo's other hands as well as his "cousin" Arakon and his Four Bandit "nieces." However, he does not tolerate idiotic, careless, or off-guard acts, such as those performed by Solomon, and like Alice he doesn't hesitate to bluntly point them out. He also has a strong dislike towards Ilias's followers, especially Ilias Kreuz.

He also possesses a "summon" known as Phantom, with a completely different personality. Phantom is a female with an extremely playful and carefree attitude, but also possesses a very high murderous intent and sadism, leading her to taunt and/or toy around with others and takes much delight in it (especially with Shadow as her main victim, who isn't exactly keen but nevertheless tolerates it, however he is able to command her to stop her antiques if he desires), but still goes for quick kills. However, when the two appear together to confront a target, Shadow inherits Phantom's dark personalities and too joins in on her "fun".

Strengths and Weaknesses:

Shadow's strength lies within his assassination powers and darkness. Obviously, speed, stealth, critical hits, defense piercing, and instant death techniques are to his advantage. He is also a master of the blade staff, an extremely rare weapon type that generally leaves enemies at a disadvantage due to their unfamiliarity with it. Though initially his attacks aren't strong to begin with, the number of hits in any of his skills are plentiful in dealing fatal damage, allowing him to overwhelm through constant and consistent strikes.

His other main source of power is the darkness within him, given by monster blood. Shadow employs this power in two different forms: the Death form, used to instantly kill targets with fast, rapid strikes while using his darkness applications to attack from afar or increase the length of his blades; and the Darkness form, controlling the target with restraints and poisons while toying with them as they slowly face demise. In addition, Shadow can use his power to turn himself invisible, teleport around the battlefield, and enter a pocket dimension. The inherited lust from the monster genes even allows him to rape a monster instead of the reverse, allowing him to actually counter monsters.

However, as an assassin, he is limited to cloth or light armor as anything heavier will reduce his mobility, and thus has low defense. His over-reliance on low damage rapid connecting combos leaves him physically weak, unable to deal much damage to earth-based users, escape binds, carry heavy things, or smash a rock into pieces without slashing it repeatedly; should his enemy manage to block, evade, or intercept his attacks, his damage output may plummet. Additionally, because he is a human/monster hybrid, with his human side impairing his physical body, the darkness within him further weakens his defense and uses up a lot of stamina, though this is no longer a problem after he fully awakened his inner darkness.

Skills:
 * Passive:
 * Assassin Mastery: Strengthens sight (including night vision), reflexes, resistance to environmental effects (cold weather, volcano heat, etc.) and abnormal status effects, pickpocketing, lockpicking, and stealth.
 * Ravenous Bloodlust: Possessing great control over his murderous intent renders him separated from the flow of the world, making it very difficult to sense his presence and movements even with the power of water. Additionally, the aura produced by his Ravenous Bloodlust alone can cause a great deal of intimidation and fear.
 * Dark Critical Ecstasy: Reduces the damage of pleasure attacks and resists the effects of trance and temptation of enemies. After weakening/defeating a monster, he may rape them to his satisfaction rather than the opposite. However, normal Critical Ecstasy is still applied if a monster manages to weaken him instead.
 * Slipstream: Strengthens his attack and movement speed, jump height, and dash distance, and grants the ability to double jump, rapidly descend to the ground, dash through an enemy, and run on water and walls.
 * Fighting Spirit: Grants manipulation of the four elements simultaneously at partial power: wind's speed, earth's defense piercing, water's reflexes, and fire's firepower. Elements' effects are not actually displayed (for example no burning sword). Shadow learns this fully awakening his inner darkness.


 * Demon's Curse - Death Skills: When the weapons glow a deep black, the Death form, mainly used by Shadow, instantly kill targets with fast, rapid strikes while using his darkness applications to attack from afar or increase the length of his blades

 * Concealed Blade: Rushes forward and backward in a straight line over a long distance, slashing all enemies along the path four times.
 * Blink Step: Dashes toward up to five targets, slashing each twice along the way. If there are less than five targets, Shadow re-targets from the first enemy and continues slashing until completing all five attacks.

 * Ghost Stab: Stabs or slashes into the wall, floor, or shadow, which erects a large shadowy blade under the enemy.

 * Demon's Curse - Darkness Skills: When surrounded by a shroud of a thick black mist, the Darkness form, highly favored by Phantom, controls the target with restraints and poisons while toying with them as they slowly face demise.
 * Phantom: Summons a perfect copy of Shadow that fights alongside him, possessing has all of Shadow's clothes, weapons, and abilities. However, Phantom's Ravenous Bloodlust's fear induction is significantly stronger than Shadow's, and does not copy his physical appearance, voice, and attitude; Phantom is actually female, with a playful and carefree but far more murderous and sadistic personality, with her long lime-colored hair flowing down to her shoulders and possesses a ribbon on her head instead of a feather ornament, and is notably left-handed instead of right. Her presence, however, causes drastic changes to Shadow's personality, which mostly matches her's. Having a mind of her own, she is extremely reclusive and believes Shadow can hold his own ground, only appearing to assist when they both think her presence is absolutely necessary. Shadow learns this after meeting the Phantom.
