Tenebrae Shades

### Killer Style

I tend to wear a lot of white. Just so I am as visible as possible, especially in the dark. If people scream because of me, I don't want it to be a scream of fear, but admiration!

### Monster Quirk

Sometimes, when certain things get to me emotionally, I find it hard to keep my physical self together and turn into a mere shadow of myself. And I mean this quite literally.

### Favorite Activity

I'm a stage hog. I just love when all the limelight is shining upon me. I'm the very definition of a triple-thread, baby, I sing, dance and act. Pretty good if I do say so myself.

### Biggest Pet Peeve

People trying to outshine me. I'm very - and I mean VERY - competitive and I really don't dig it if anyone's trying to stealing my mojo.

### Least Fav Subject

Clawculus and Physical Deaducation. Clawculus because of all the numbers and P.D because they usually make us do the sweaty sports. I'd like it if there would be more dancing though.

### Favorite Food

If anyone asks me for my weakness I usually go with food. There's only little I don't like. And since bad metabolism runs in my family, food really is my kryptonite. My delicious, figure ruining kryptonite.

### History

From a young age on, Ten always loved to play dress-up and he was very into cross-dressing too, so naturally drag was as if to the manner born for him. He also was of the impression that he was a natural in dancing, acting and singing because everyone in his life told him so, so he applied for **Flaunt High** and got kind of a rude awakening, as he did not pass the admission exam and even was told that he is pretty untalented. Of course he was devastated., even kinda angry at his friends and family for basically lying to him most of the time, but he got over it pretty fast, turning this anger into passion and hard work to "show them all". He started doing drag performances for practice. At the beginning he, or rather his Drag persona **Misty** - later renamed to Mystique - had become kind of popular as "The worst act in drag", succeeding in being comically bad at everything, of course deliberately exaggerating his "non-talent". After some professional training in acting and dancing and a lot of hard work, he finally decided to go serious, renamed his Drag persona to **Mystique**, gave her a complete workover as well and blew everyone's mind with his first performance - an expressional dance performance, where he combined both his newly acquired dance and acting skills - as Mystique. During this performance and while he was on stage, he didn't say a word so that he wouldn't give him away as the one who was previously known Misty, just so that no judging on an old bias happens. This "no talking" became the thing he was known for until he reinvented his persona once again, incorporating singing into his performance. His first performance doing so was on the TV-Show Glamonsta's, singing the song Black and Silver, a song "for everybody that now dares to call themselves a fan but hated on him in the past".

## Classic Monster

A **shadow person** (also known as a **shadow figure**, **shadow being** or **black mass**) is the perception of a patch of shadow as a living, humanoid figure, and, interpreted as the presence of a spirit or other entity by believers in the paranormal or supernatural.

In German folklore the so-called **Dark Man** (Ger. **Schwarzer Mann**, also known as the **Evil Man**) is a **boogy** that, depending on the region is either a **shadow person** or a black-faced man wearing black (chimney sweeper). There even is a very well-known racing/tag game based around the Dark Man called *Who is scared of the Dark Man* (ger. "Wer hat angst vorm schwarzen Mann?")*,* that is a very popular (warm-up) game predominantly played in primary school gym classes and in youth camps.

## Abilities

	+ **Shapeshifting**: He can mimic the appearance of everything while in shadow-mode.
* **Dream Hopping - Dream Manipulation:** As a type of boogy, he is able to invade dreams and manipulate them, much to the dislike of the respective nightmare or fright-mare working on it. This also means he has easy access to the *Dream Pastures.*
