College student / Knightnaster / Bounty hunter / De Facto leader of the Resistance

## Appearance

### Debut

Page 6750

Yet another character in RJITU.

## Appearance

### Puff Form:

A 3ft tall black puff with stubby, black arms on yellow, toeless, shoe-like feet. His eyes are literally made of emerald, and from each of his hands protrude 3 metal claws which he uses to achieve human-like dexterity.

### Masked Form:

A 5ft 10 humanoid in a black cloak with thick, gold lining, with thin, slender black limbs. He also has a white face mask on the left half of his face, a red-rimmed top hat atop his head, and turquoise eyes

## Personality

A lot of things in life Dark seems to simply not care about. As a result, he usually comes off as cold since he's not always focused on being nice to others when he's in the middle of doing something.

He turns out to be quite...different, to say the least, if you run into him while he's around people he knows, or if you end up spending enough time with him. He's got an awful sense of sarcasm, and a detached, logical perspective on things, but he's, at the end of the day, also a nice guy who genuinely cares about the people around him, even if he doesn't know them.

He's just one you wouldn't want to get on the bad side of.

His emotional detachment from others is more pronounced in his puff form. Though he is more faster in connecting the dots logically.

In his masked form, however, he's more in tune with his emotions, thus resulting in him being more friendlier and sensitive. Though he is a bit slower, intellectually speaking as a result.

## Abilities

### Shifting:

Normally, as a shifter, Dark would have better regeneration capabilities, but due to this white brand he got during his unwilling trip to Floralis, his regenerative capabilities are severely stinted, with him only really being able to regenerate wounds every few hours, needing to give his body ample rest. He can regenerate minor, even fatal wounds, but he will not be able to, say, replace his brain if it were to be blown apart.

He can also shapeshift into another of his 3 main forms. However, since this is far more straining on him than merely regenerating his wounds, he cannot do this often at all, usually having to wait a few days to give his body sufficient rest before he can shapeshift again

He can also use his own cells to heal others instead if he were to mix his DNA with a sample from the person he is to heal, using a mortar and pestle. The resulting paste can be applied on wounds to give them his regenerative abilities for that wound alone.

### Specialty: Acceleration

Simply put, it's Dark's use of a mix of Hot magic and Temporal magic to first of all accelerate his body activity while distorting time around him, resulting in massive bursts of speed that allow him to Flash Step and thus reposition, for mainly defensive or tactical purposes.

#### Xard:

An alter-ego of his that takes over either when Dark is mortally wounded or when he allows him to take control, fighting on in a body that really shouldn't be able to. He's a real psychopath obsessed with causing harm to any that dare oppose him, always curious about how they would react to various forms of harm or torture.

### Magic

As a shifter, Dark also has access to a plethora of magic and spells, as follows, his exact repertoire depending on his current form.

#### Puff:

* Laser panel: A panel about 2 metres in height and 1 metre in length that immediately consumes itself to fire out a hard-hitting black laser capable of punching through a wall.
* Lesser Telekinesis: A basic push or pull that can’t manipulate targets very well. Despite its name, it can still be used to push/pull a multitude of objects at once.
* Shadow Tag: A black orb on Dark's hand that, upon contact with someone, leaves a black mark comprised of a black...plasma like substance. As long as the marked person is near Dark (within a 25 meter radius), the substance will spread around the infected area, dealing damage over time. It stops spreading once it spreads over a medium-sized area in about 10 minutes, hurting about as much as a bad sword stab. Oddly enough, it's easily cured with literally any form of healing, or a bright light. It heals naturally after a few hours as well.
* Greater Shield: A blue, flaming shield that blocks attacks. Takes a few minutes for him to craft magically, but once made, he can summon it at a moment's notice. It has, as known right now, two modes:
	+ Orbit: The shield is smaller, weaker, and always remains close to Dark, but Dark can move it around more himself quickly. Will take the equivalent of 5 good sledgehammer hits before breaking.
	+ Wall: The shield is bigger, and stronger. Dark can't move it around as well, but he can at least summon it farther away from itself. Will take the equivalent of 8 good sledgehammer hits before breaking.

#### Masked:

* Fire magic: Usually used for mid-range to melee offence. Things like fireballs and flame-coated swords.
* Earth magic: Used for more heavy, but slower, mid-ranged offence and defence / environment manipulation. Due to it not being as easily used as his fire magic, he doesn't really use thi sas much.
* Lightning magic: Used for long-range attacks, mainly. Comes out about as quickly as his earth magic.
* Ethereal magic: Used for follow-up ethereal attacks and an average-strength Lesser Shield (that can be broken with... 2 good sledgehammer hits). He can make a new one within a few moments, but doing this multiple times in a row gets exhausting.
* He also knows a healing spell (alright for healing things like slash wounds, not so much for healing missing limbs)...and the Lesser and Greater Telekinesis spell.
	+ Lesser Telekinesis spell: Used for, as stated prior, imprecise pushes and shoves
	+ Greater telekinesis spell: Similar to the Lesser Telekinesis spell, except it allows for much more precise control over whatever he grabs telekinetically, to the point that he can telekinetically wield one of his sword halves.
* Rituals: Lengthy spells to cast, requiring the drawing of ritual circles and some ritualistic chants. However, these are far, far stronger than the rest of his spell repertoire.
	+ Fire Dragon: Dark conjures up a humongous, 3 meter tall flame wyvern that rushes at enemies, exploding on impact.
	+ Complete Darkness spell: Dark covers the surrounding area in complete darkness, making it harder for anyone inside to see.

## Equipment

Dark doesn't have a lot of equipment at his disposal, most of them being mostly for self-defence. Though he does have a few pets too, as follows:

* A green, relatively worn but still very much effective claymore that can be split into two halves.
* A scarf of misfortune: A curious trinket that, to summate its effects simply, causes misfortune to all of one's enemies.

### Pets:

* Fint: A black pheonix. The de facto leader of Dark’s pets, capable of rallying the others, scouting out areas, and fetching small things, among other things.
* Tiro: A spider lizard. The second in command with a tendency to weave webs for both combat situations and as toys for others to play with. He also has a venomous bite…that luckily isn’t lethal. Or all that harmful.
* Orby: Currently very lost.
* Elia: A revitalisation dragon. The healer, but still a growing young dragon whose healing flames tire her out easily when used.

## In the RP

* Portalled into world of Floralis
* Volunteered to assist Twilight with search and possibly rescue efforts of Twilight's friends (like Esther and Via)
* Entered world of Faunis via a portal with Twilight.
* Met a variety of other people he managed to convince to join in helping with the cause of the Search party, including Burst, Wave, Vinessa, and Aurica.
* Led everyone to Salreuna for information on the whereabouts of Twilight's friends and supplies.
* Forced to tactically retreat the Search Party when Daybreak advanced on the city.
* Search Party becomes a Resistance on the side
* More wandering about the world in search of more info and possibly friends.
* Niyr ends up portal'ing the Search Party / Resistance to Whitefall, about an hour west of Salreuna.
* Finally got a successful supply running. Cut short by Daybreak (again).

## Backstory

Dark hails from a world of shifters known as Arth, where the battle industry is big world-wide as an entertainment platform.

Among his many achievements include Dark becominga bounty hunter, attaining the rather high rank of 'knightnaster', helping oil his nephew’s plans for blowing apart his equivalent of Earth, and now falling through a portal that threw him into the world of...Floralis.

## Extra

* Likes orange juice
