Shane "Shadow" Darkstar

== Who is Shane Darkstar? ==
Shane first fully debuted in Kuri Vengeance RP as a bounty hunter looking for work in Kaido Sinclare under the alias of "Shadow". Working under Yakuza "King" Kaido, he accepted contracts to earn cash and aid the Sinclare while working with his old Idol, Detective Kuri (Who was known as Vengeance Kuri at the time). Agent Shadow was a run of the mill bounty hunter until he was roped into a series of events that made him into the man he is today.

== History and Lore ==
He has an unusually large scar on his face that surprisingly didn't blind him when he received it. It is unknown how he got it with him stating that he was "being foolish."
Shadow's motive for joining Kaido Sinclaire is unknown, however, he stated that he "wanted to get away from his old world". After the events from the Sinclare, Shadow has since joined the Kitsune Sisters & Mr. Perfect in the fight against Contora and his "Horrors of Darkness".
=== Vengeance Arc ===
==== Season 1 ====
During a somewhat non-canon episode of Vengeance RP, Shadow stated that he was working on breaking into a laptop that Kuri and the others found after discovering that the traitor of the Sinclaire was an FBI agent. With this in mind, it was to believed that Shadow has some sort of hacking skill, however, its unclear how well his skill is.
Later on, in an episode of Vengeance RP (Episode 6), Shadow was able to break into the laptop and retrieve not only FBI files about many of the Sinclare members but many clans and Mafia files as well. He is currently working on pinpointing Volk, one of the FBI's major agents, for Kuri since he is after Volk for interfering with his work.
After Kuri and many other members returned to the Sinclare from a special contract, they were notified that the FBI insurgent wasn't the only one leaking information and that his equipment and belongings are bugged, or so they think. With the laptop that Shadow was working on destroyed, his work in helping Kuri finding his daughter was setback, almost to square one. In addition, King had made a calling called "The Demon's Calling." This meaning that any member found to be a traitor of Kaido Sinclare, to be revoked of their status and to be executed immediately. The reward also being $2 Mill per traitor killed. Shadow took this opportunity to not only help find the traitors but to learn about all of the members of Kaido Sinclare. Shadow has learned a lot and is on the verge of completing his initiation.
==== Season 2 ====
Kuri was absent during episode 2. Tarus got a notification that one of his trade/comm lines were being blockaded by the Phoenix Down. He requests help from Saya Leonhart, Fritz Leonhart, One, Helwrence Gothker, and Shadow to go take out and reopen the line. Once they arrived they were met with much heavier resistance than anticipated. The entrance to the warehouse was just as tough as within the warehouse. Once in the warehouse, One attempted to disguise himself as one of the Phoenix Down members but it ultimately failed. One got captured, everyone lost their weapons and they were forced out of the warehouse. However, both Shadow and Fritz noticed the poor integrity of the warehouse and used Fritz's self-made explosive to create a thick dust cloud. Once done, everyone rushed back in, grabbed their weapons and resumed their assault on Phoenix Down. The heavy unit that was controlling the whole situation was the toughest of them all. He had stim-packs that revived his fallen comrades, and once Shadow and the others confronted the brute he nearly killed everyone. Shadow got punched into a wall, and the explosive Fritz had was used to kill the brute sending shrapnel everywhere. Gothker got a gut full of it and everyone else took minor damage. Everyone was badly hurt with Gothker and Shadow bleeding badly. Once they left the warehouse, they were met with Tarus trying to situate what had happened, but then King shows up furious. He scalds Tarus and the others for going on a dangerous mission without him knowing or with even Tarus setting a contract. Afterward, they go over to Doc's place to get patched up and healed. Shadow lost his voice for a few days and Gothker has a scar on his stomach. After another scalding from King, everyone went home. 
Fast forwarding the the finale of Vengeance RP, everyone was preparing their next move while Kuri went to talk with King about their next contract. However, overhearing that King has discovered a traitor within the Sinclare, Shadow stands by awaiting the next mission at hand when the newest enemy arrives, Kaido Seikii. It was a hard-fought battle won, but the Sinclare was compromised and can no longer be used. Many take refuge within The Mourning Star while others scatter to the wind awaiting for confirmation of a new base of operations, one that never comes to light. Meanwhile, Shadow returns home secluding himself into hiding in hopes that Seikii is off his trail, unbeknownst to the fate of his comrades.
=== After Vengeance ===
After roughly a month of hearing nothing from King, Kuri, or any other members of Kaido Sinclare, Shadow continues to do freelance bounty hunting on his own. He began to dawn a samurai sword after his current gun, an M16 rifle, had become lost after going into hiding. His sword was a family heirloom and he tends to keep it close as a memory of his late father. After some unknown time (its unclear of the timeframe between events) Shadow was given news about an old friend attempting his detective career once more and decides to pay him a visit. 
=== Horrors of Darkness RP ===
==== Act I ====
As Shadow joined Kuri's Precinct, he went on plenty of jobs and missions during his time there and even joined Detective Kuri and a few missions in search of his missing daughter, Jeszii. After a chain of searches, they eventually found a worn down hospital where she might have been held in. Going in to search they eventually find her, but she isn't alone...Kuri comes face to face with an old figure once more, the Illusionist, Nurse Krugoi. Krugoi brings Kuri and the crew into her Nightmare Realm where she controls the battlefield and even forces Jeszii to fight them, whom of which has been experimented on by Krugoi giving her many unholy advantages. Eventually, they manage to help Jeszii break free from Krugoi's control, who didn't like that in the slightest and begun attacking the group in her stronger form. Eventually they were saved buy someone who calls themselves Mr. Perfect and they all manage to escape the Nightmare Realm. 
Upon arriving into his facility, Mr. Perfect, who turns out to be a giant bug man, aids in the group's recovery and the importance to stop Krugoi before further damage is caused. Kuri had decided to opt out of this "oncoming war" but Shadow decided to stay and help seeing that he's involved regardless of what happens from here on out. Little did he know, a lot more was about to be revealed not just about who he was about to face, but who Shadow himself, was about to show.
==== Act II ====
With a well needed wardrobe update (and a sudden growth spurt) Shadow was ready to tackle this oncoming war with these "Horrors of Darkness." Mr. Perfect teaches us who were fighting and which enemies we will be facing which include Krugoi the Illusionist, Christine the Arachnid Queen, The Plague Monster, and the Barron of Jinn's Trench. However on a particular mission to investigate and take out a demon squad, they were lead into what looks like a pocket dimension. Revealing an enemy that would change Shadow's life, The Princess of Corruption. During their fight, PoC managed to get ahold of Shadow and was about to bring him under her control when an explosion of magic power erupted from Shadow, freeing himself from PoC's grasp. Utilizing his newfound "Corrupted Rage" he and the rest of the team manage to push back PoC and force her to flee. But just as the crew was about to leave, a new foe arrives, Contora the Tyrannical God of War. After a forced retreat and leaving their kitsune teammate behind, Shadow chooses to use his power knowing his enemies are far more powerful than he realizes.
As time moves on, Shadow continues to develop his powers to better suit and control and eventually used them to save the lost kitsune they were forced to leave behind, whom was possessed by Contora himself as part of an experiment. Afterwards he continues to develop his powers further and further up to the battle against Krugoi, the Illusion Queen and defeated them.
==== Act III ====
Moving forward, he one day got a letter from an unknown sender requesting his presence to a particular club. Upon arriving, he was greeted by a familiar face, Yakuza "King" Kaido. The two caught up for a good while but Yakuza stated that he was to meet with another group. He offered Shadow to stay for that meeting but Shadow had a few other things to do and said his goodbyes. Before leaving the Mourning Star, he was greeted by some of his friends whom were called to meet with "King". But after he had left to return to some of his training, some hours later he received a call from SkyMedic (Aka, The Doc) bringing grave news. The King has been killed by a group of assassins who had arrived some time after the TBOW group did, only wishing he had stayed to help defend him but was glad but saddened that he had left when he did.
Later on, as Shadow and the others of TBOW and Factor Zero (A group of mercenaries formed together to aid in the battle against the Horrors of Darkness) continued to research and find Christine's whereabouts, a new face had arrived. A cyborg-samurai named Kenshora "Prince (Now King)" Kaido, the son of Yakuza "King" Kaido. After hearing of his father's death, Kenshora had granted the aid of the Sinclare for the efforts against the HoD. However, he also requested that some efforts be aimed at the assassins and Kaido Sekeii as they are responsible for Yakuza's death. Shadow aided Kenshora in hunting down the assassins to avenge Yakuza, and then joined Kenshora to help the Prime Sector to raid BlackStar Industries and save some of their comrades. But during the final battle against BlackStar, something occurred in Shadow that just felt off. A dark presence took over Shadow and fought with malicious intent, luckily it only lasted for a single fight and Shadow was able to regain control. After the BlackStar raid, Shadow realizes that something was attempting to grapple control of his body and that using Dark Magic (the element and not the form) it would cause him to succumb to this new being. He needed an alternative...
Further down the timeline, TBOW & Factor Zero had retrieved special experiments from an old lab where Christine was created, one of which was successfully reproduced while the other was nearly impossible to reproduce. Shadow was given a vial of Extreme Cold and, after going through some freezing pain, received Frost Magic as if it were natural to him. This gave Shadow the alternative he needed to fight efficiently without using Dark Magic, however at times it becomes ineffective and he's forced to use Dark Magic. After a few missions that nearly went south, and also nearly killed Shadow, he needed a break. Fortunately, Zackery Smith invited Shadow to join him, his wife, and a few others to vacation away from the horrors and monsters. Shadow accepted the offer, packed plenty of essentials, and left with the others to rest physically and mentally. However during the trip, Shadow learned about a dark fate of a close friend, Emerald the Frog had perished to Apex's wrath during an operation with the Prime Sector. This realization pushed Shadow to a breaking point, his anger released whatever, whoever, was attempting to control him. But it wouldn't fully show until the group returned from their vacation and it eventually took over Shadow's body while he was resting unconscious in a medical tube at one of the kitsune's FOBs, escaping into the mountains through a portal station that was in the FOB.

==== Rise of Darkstar Mini-Arc ====
After nearly a year of silence, Shadow started to show himself again, but it wasn't Shadow? Whoever this new being was that took over Shadow's body, he was willing to do nearly anything to get what he wanted. His first active appearance was after a demon raid on a specific police precinct where the only thing was taken were some lives of officers, and a Magi-Pistol that the detective had stored away. After that, his appearances were few too little and hard to pinpoint. Though with some luck and persuasion, Akane was able to call upon his aid when Mikuru's flagship was destroyed from the inside and crashed into a wasteland. The mission was successful but this being, who called himself Arthur, was furious that he was played for a fool. However, he wasn't fully without real reward. His magic created a strange symbiosis within his body and enabled him to not only gain resistance to radiation, but also the ability to absorb and convert radiation into magic/mana to an extent. How its done wasn't fully explained unfortunately...
After pushing his plans within the background, Arthur was called upon again by Akane for assistance with a mission. Annoyed, he was bound to decline but Akane made the reward enticing enough for him to join in. To his surprise, it turned out to be a Sinclare mission with Kenshora, the son of the late Yakuza "King" Kaido. The mission entailed within a different dimension, one taking place in SD's Vengeance Universe where events turned out differently. Eventually, the mission went sideways and he got harshly injured. Furious with a mission failure and no reward, Arthur cut contact with Akane and the others to focus on his plans.
After interrupting a few missions he eventually found and infiltrated Chernobyl, the location of the world's worst nuclear meltdown. Centuries after its meltdown the area still remains uninhabitable due to high REM counts, and Arthur intended to use it to his great advantage. Before he got a massive powerup from absorbing the radiation, Arthur was intercepted by the KS team and subdued by Zach who happened to have the one item that Arthur feared, Libra's Medallion. He was then taken to a holding facility in Dent's universe. After being taken in for questioning, Shadow overtook control from Arthur to explain that corruption had taken Arthur's soul and the only was to cleanse it was with Libra's Medallion, which has the ability to swap and balance element polarity of Dark and Light and cleanse any blight and corruption attached. He also revealed his real name, Shane Darkstar.
