Alias/Codename: Darkshine
Age: 24
Weight: 143lbs
Height: 5'6
Place of birth: R'glyeha
Place of residence: New york

Appearance: Posted Image

Personality: Sylvia is a very hateful young woman. She hates normal humans and anyone who wants to side with them. Due to trauma recieved during her teenage years, Sylvia has little to no patience for anyone that is merely normal. This was brought about by how she was raised, which was that the strong are to be respected while the weak merely be trampled under foot.

Sylvia views mutantkind and anyone with superhuman powers as special and above the rest. She believes that they shouldn't have to stoop to the level of normal humans just to fit in. She thinks of people who create their own powers to be a cheap substitute for the real thing. To that extent she won't hesitate to attack anyone who decides to defend such humans.

Despite all this, Sylvia is actually very warm with her parents. She maintains a fairly steady relationship with both her mother and father despite her evil nature. Perhaps because of her demonic upbringing that this sort of behavior was to be expected and thusly they love her and she loves them all the same. She does however find earth's realm to be very strange as opposed to R'glyeha. Where things are very cut and dry on her dimension's side, they're needlessly complex on the earth side.

Powers:
-Shadow Manipulation: She can use her abilities to levitate objects by coating them in shadow, project concussive blasts, and form simple shapes like grappling hands and razor sharp plates to use as barriers and/or restricting binds. Her power level is highly dependent on her emotional state, but even when calm her ability is powerful enough to shred steel and throw cars and trucks.
-Light Manipulation: She can bend the light around herself to become invisible, generate blasts of energy, create force fields and fly. She could even 'power up' this ability by draining the ambient light in the area.
-Conflicting power: Due to the dual nature of her powers, Sylvia's powers often clash with disasterous and destructive results. At first she couldn't use either side without causing harm to herself or others. She has since learned to use this to her advantage, controlling the disasterous effect of using both spectrums of her powers at once to cause widespread destruction.

Power potential: Increased shadow and light powers, ability to attack people on a spiritual level. Also a possibility for empathy emerging.
Other skills:
-Able to speak and understand demonic language
-
Equipment:
-Ring of Varda: A gold ring fashioned in the form of a demon skull. Allows for passage to R'glyeha by chanting to open the gates. The ring isn't especially tuned to her and allows for her to carry multiple people along with her should she go.

History: The history of Sylvia Zirski is an odd one indeed. It all began when she was born to her parents, Anya and Nerio. Anya was a mutant light manipulator while Nerio was a shadow demon from a hell dimension. The two of them met purely by chance when one day Nerio visited the earth realm and came in human form. He ran into Anya by accident and the two hit it off well. Through a series of visits to this realm, the two slowly fell in love and revealed to eachother their secrets. For Anya, this was quite the shock as she found out the man she loved wasn't quite what she expected. But love transcends all boundaries it seems and she left with him back to his home dimension.

Not too long afterwards was Sylvia born to the couple. It turned out that Sylvia was Half Shadow demon and half mutant, giving the child an unusual heritage. Sylvia was raised in the hell dimension amongst other demonic children for most of her childhood and teenage years. To her it was all she knew and never understood anything about the earth realm aside from stories her mother would tell her about the place.

It was about this time that Sylvia's powers began to develop in full. On one side she had the shadow controlling powers of her father, and on the other was the light manipulation abilities of her mother. Her parents often got into arguments over how to raise her, claiming the other knew how to teach her the best. These arguments eventually became bad enough that her mother decided to leave back for earth realm for a while, taking her daughter with her.

Sylvia's first time in earth realm was quite the adventure for her as all she knew was the hell dimension that she was born and raised in. Now there was an entirely new culture to get used to and fit into. Schooling was especially hard as the kids she had to deal with weren't as understanding about her dual heritage as the people of her dimension would be. Because of the constant hatred she got that she never dealt with before, Sylvia began to truly hate regular humans for their narrow minded ways and began to use her powers to make them suffer whenever possible.

Anya knew what her daughter was going through and hoped that it was just a teenage phase, but it was slowly beginning to show that this was no phase and she truly hated normal people. She was considering returning the girl back to the hell dimension with her father, but by then the girl had grown old enough to make her own decisions in life. Still, Anya pleaded with Sylvia to return with her to the other dimension when she left, but the girl would have none of it. She meant to make humans suffer for the pain she recieved. And suffer they shall.

Looks like this is pretty much good to go.

Place of birth: R'lyeh


This is the only thing in the application that's unacceptable, and what a destroyer of worlds this is. Be it homage to THE GREATNESS HIMSELF or just an accidental pick on the search for a cool name, I suggest you change it.

Personality:


- I'd like a little more. Please add something about what she thinks about her family, what she thinks about "our" world as opposed to her dimension. Maybe half a sentence about regular humans who "make" powers, like Tony Stark.

Powers:

- The bit about her powers being conflicting. Does control mean that she can use both at the same time without things going to hell? Or does it mean that she has learned to better control and harness the effects of mixing them? Or both?

Power potential:

- I remember discussing her shadow powers with you, and I just wanted to suggest that if her shadow powers can go as far as attacking people spiritually and their emotions, then they must be somewhat connected to empathic abilities. Maybe you could add the possibility of a slight increased empathy?

Quote:
 
Equipment:

- Please specify if she can just teleport herself or others as well. Also, can someone take this ring? or is it like, attuned to her?

History:

Good stuff. Humans have to pay because demons are assholes. We ALWAYS get the short end of the stick, always.
