Shad Kyaric

**Overview** | Artworks

## Shadron Kyaric

Shad Kyaric is a quiet, depressed half-demon born in Wales, who has severe anger issues and struggles to express his feelings. He's the counterpart to his younger sister, Kira Kyaric.

## Appearance

Shad looks sketchy. Most people would immediately back down and stay away from him.

With his dark hair and pale skin, he can look like a character from a horror film, especially when he's had little sleep. But what actually worries people the most are his scary, vibrant red eyes. Even his friends sometimes shudder when he looks at them. But that's nothing compared to his death stare, something he inherited from his damn father - it's the stuff of nightmares...

Shad has a tall and powerful physique without really doing anything to maintain it. It's a magical thing...lucky him. He is the strongest of the group and by far the most resilient, especially when it comes to enduring pain.

Clothing-wise, he only wears dark things. He isn't a colour guy. His favourite clothes are a black hoodie and ripped jeans, but he also has a good ensemble of leather jackets for bad weather.

## Personality

Shad is a very quiet person and barely talks to anyone. He is seemingly unemphatic and doesn't want to be bothered by anything. He only becomes more talkative around his friends. But, despite looking like a cold-hearted, terrifying bunch of muscles, his friends know that Shad cares more about things than he is able to show.

Shad has a big problem showing his feelings. He knows he doesn't have to be like this, especially when he's surrounded by his friends. But he can't help it. He is also usually very easily irritable. When he doesn't like someone or someone has upset him, he sometimes slips into a passive-aggressive mood. Then he looks as if he could attack and kill somebody at any time. His friends refer to this mood as Shad's "killer mood".

When he was much younger, he locked his feelings deep inside of him...after he had to watch his mother being murdered. If he had managed his emotions instead of just waiting in his hiding place, terrified, he might have been able to save her. And to this day he blames himself for her death.

He is overwhelmed by regular waves of depression, in which all his guilt and anger at himself boil up again. Even Kira sometimes has trouble to calm him down and prevent him from doing anything stupid. He also suffers from severe sleep problems, which doesn't help him at all to stay calm and composed.

The only thing that keeps him going is his role as the protector of his sister and friends. He never wants to see one of his close one dying to his inability to manage his emotions again. Any more mistakes would be unforgivable. And if he ever failed again, it would mean the end of his story too...

Suppressing his own interests and living most of his life around Kira due to his fears of losing her too, he has never been able to truly be who he is. He himself has become so used to his protective role that he can't even imagine living his own life and pursuing his own interests. It doesn't make any sense to him any more.

## Abilities

Shad, like Kira, speaks English because he was born in Wales and learned German after their escape from the Demon realm and their father. Being of magical blood, they had no problem improving their German really fast.

Shad is capable of one of the rarest abilities in the spectrum of dark magic. It's called Shadow Fury, an ancient fighting ability that mostly got lost due to the increasing number of half-demons being born and, therefore, the changing gene pool of the Demon realm. Because Shad is one of these half-demons, it's even more unusual that he was given this power.

Besides that, Shad has great strength and determination. He can stick his mind to a goal forever and will chase it until he succeeds, no matter what stands in his way.

Additionally, Shad has the ability to fly. He, just like his sister, has inherited their father's demon wings, which they can make appear and disappear at will.

However, he is allergic to shadow stones, which makes teleporting to another world rather unpleasant.
