Five O'Clock Shadow

**Debut** | TBA

**Five O'Clock Shadow** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Wadizala-Almawt from the planet Mundhzamantawil Mundhzamantawil.

## Appearance

Five O'Clock Shadow is a humanoid alien with pale gray skin similar to Decagon Vreedle and distorted facial features, having short matted hair with asymmetrically shaved sideburns, rectangular bushy eyebrows, black eyes with strange white irises and red pupils, a severely malformed nose and pair of ears, and a cleft chin that instead comes to a sharp point. Five O'Clock Shadow has prominent beard stubble on his face and hairy forearms. He wears a strange black and brown buttoned coat with a popped collar that becomes increasingly distorted the further down it goes, ending with a pair of gray flaps that extend upwards into two thin stripes ending with large circles and partially wrap around his legs, while wearing black pants and tall brown and black boots. No matter the actual light level and position of the source around himself, his shadow is prominently visible behind himself at all times.

Five O'Clock Shadow wears the Simplicitrix on his left shoulder blade.

## Powers

* Five O'Clock Shadow can manipulate the elements of darkness and time, which he can use to access a unique form of retrocognition to detect and influence the "shadows of the past," determining that if someone has previously been within a location by sensing if their shadow had been previously there at the location.
	+ Five O'Clock Shadow's own shadow functions as a second self imbued with temporal preporties, capable of extending it outwards and grabbing onto others in order to rapidly age them and freeze them in time.
	+ Five O'Clock Shadow can merge himself with his own shadow to propel himself through the air, especially up vertical surfaces, or cloak himself from anyone on the outside.
* Five O'Clock Shadow can negate invisibility and camouflage through forcefully revealing the shadows of others regardless of any light passing through them, such as Ectonurites and Merlinisapiens.
* Five O'Clock Shadow has enhanced strength, durability, agility, reflexes, and mobility.
* Five O'Clock Shadow has a sharp chin that can hurt as much as he looks.
* Five O'Clock Shadow has limited space survivability.
* Five O'Clock Shadow is immune towards darkness and temporal-based attacks due to his own affinity for them, while also being naturally resistant against light and spatial-based attacks.

## Weaknesses

* Five O'Clock Shadow's permanently visible shadow can prevent him from hiding within illuminated areas, as its presence can give away his location.
* Five O'Clock Shadow's chronokinetic abilities' have limited applications compared to other species with time-based abilities, such as Chronosapiens and Chröningers, lacking the potential for time travel.

## Etymology

* Five O'Clock Shadow refers to the dark appearance of a man's slightly regrown beard since he had shaved in the morning, which also references his darkness and time manipulation abilities.
* Five O'Clock Shadow's species name is the Arabic translation of "valley of the shadow of death."
* Five O'Clock Shadow's planet name is the Arabic translation of "since a long time ago," although repeated twice as a pun on having an identical "shadow" of itself in reference to Five O'Clock Shadow's own animated shadow.

## Trivia

* Five O'Clock Shadow was drawn by Shark, and was made by WTB, while his shadow retrocognition was suggested by Blake.
