Name: Knifis
Species: Shade, a dark creature with large fangs and large red eyes. Shades have unmatched speed, and are ever more dangerous in the dark. While they're fairly skinny, their power comes from their agility.
Gender: Male
Age: 119
Element: Sound/Shadow
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Class: Assassin
Speed: Fast
Special Ability: When fighting against a human: Speed x 1.5
Techniques:

• 
  
• Kunai
  • 
    
  • Element: Shadow
    
  • Description: An assassin essential, the kunai is a triangular-shaped throwing knife. These blades can be thrown at impressive speeds, and Knifis has been known to split stone with them.
  
  
• Echo
  • 
    
  • Element: Sound
    
  • Description: Due to Knifis's powerful control over sound, he can manipulate it to his will. One of his favorite distortions is forming a box around an opponent's head. This eliminates their ability to hear, and, if the amount of focus on the box is great enough, can cause brain damage. However, it takes a while to take effect, and is, in fact, dodgable.
    
  • Effect: Opponent becomes deaf for the remainder of the turn.
  
  
• Shadow Blast
  • 
    
  • Element: Sound/Shadow
    
  • Description: A shaft of shadow energy is sent towards its target, completely silently. As it flies swiftly, it pulls sound from everywhere and gathers it within itself, the contents getting louder and louder. When it hits the target, the soundwaves explode out, ricocheting around inside the target.

SPECIAL MOVES:

• 
  
• Rupture
  • 
    
  • Element: Sound
    
  • Description: The user screams violently as all the soundwaves are siphoned directly into the target's brain. Because of the intensity of these soundwaves, they can slice through anything it their path.
    
  • Effect: Confuses the target for a turn. While confused, it is virtually impossible to aim, and even harder to dodge knowledgably. Their best bet is to run around aimlessly.
  
  
• Clouded Death
  • 
    
  • Element: Shadow
    
  • Description: This is Knifis's own invention, and has kept him feared for over 50 years. An energy sphere of pure anti-matter is thrust into the target. From this, a black fog engulfs the target from the inside. This fog is so dense that it restricts the trachea, chokes the retinas, bursts the eardrums, and the pressure on the brain often leads to insanity. This black, anti-matter fog is left pouring out of them, lasting only a few minutes, but seems like the coldest, most vile eternity imaginable.
    
  • Effect: Opponent becomes deaf for the rest of the match.

Equipment:

• 
  
• Knifis's Signiture Jacket. This jacket is dark in color, light in material, and very comfortable. It is made of woven threads of platinum, and surves as a formidable armor.
  
• Kunai blades. An assassin is never without his weapon. These blades can be materialized from any source of darkness, such as a shadow of fog. The edges of these Kunai are sharper than any man-made element, and can cut through virtually anything like butter.
  

History: Knifis grew up in a hostile society, and never had a proper guardian. He has been alone all his life, and has a heart of stone because of it. Shades normally hunt in packs, yet it was exactly this that killed his family before he could meet them. The shade in command turned rabid and killed half the others, himself included. Shades are not born as humans are, but hatch from cocoon-like eggs. Knifis swore himself to the way of the assassin at the age of 66, after seeing an entire village of his kind slaughtered by humans, hence his distaste for the species. His first assassination was on the man who organized the attack, and he has been watching his kind ever since. Over the course of 38 years, he rose to the highest of ranks, and became known as the most feared assassin of the time. His hatred for humankind continues to grow, and the mere sight of one angers him beyond compare. He fights twice as visciously against humans, and has spent the previous 15 years of his life hunting down every last one.

Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Element: Shadow
Alignment: True Neutral
Class: Retired Assassin
Speed: Fast
Special Ability: When fighting against a human: Speed x 1.5
Techniques:

• 
  
• .357 Magnum
  • 
    
  • Element: None
    
  • Ammo: Holds eight shots.
    
  • Description: This trusty handgun saved Knifis countless times. In his prime, he could should 25-30 shots within 5 seconds, although he never needed to. He still keeps the gun with him, just incanse of an ambush. The gun has yet to let him down.
  
  
• Battle Rifle
  • 
    
  • Element: None
    
  • Ammo: Holds 20 shots.
    
  • Description: The second weapon in Knifis's life-taking duo. The two weapons have kept him feared for several decades. Due to it's sturdy design, his battle rifle also doubles as a formidable throwing weapon.

SPECIAL MOVES:

• 
  
• Firearm Duo
  • 
    
  • Element: Sound
    
  • Description: This combo magnum/rifle attack was developed by Knifis as a finishing move during the first ambush he was victim to. He starts by using a backflip to catapult himself easily five feet above his opponent's head. At the apex of his leap, he fires a single rifle shot down the target's back. This is only meant to graze, as a distraction. Before landing, he hurls the rifle at the victim's legs, tripping them. At this point, they are open to a bullet in the back of the head. (Not an instant kill. In fact, the combo will only end as written if it is explicitly stated in the game's rules.)
    
    Or something to that effect. The combo is rarely the same, yet will always include both weapons and a jump.

• .357 Magnum. This gun is Knifis's pride and joy. He kept it with him all throughout his career, and still uses it even though he stated himself as 'retired.'
  
• Battle Rifle. The other weapon that Knifis owes his life to. He uses it as much as a throwing weapon as a firearm.
  

History: There is little known about Knifis's past, as it lies in pieces on the sidewalk near a towering hotel building. Read 'Fractured Shadow' to view what is left of it.
