Name: Nathaniel Dayes Canon/Original: Original Alias/Codename: Shadowrun Age: 27 Height: 5'10" Weight: 65 Kilos Place of birth: Los Angeles, California Place of residence: Wherever his current job requires him to stay and/or wherever his last job took place. Though, officially, his permanent living place is an apartment in New York. Affiliations: None Appearance: ![]() Personality: While his jobs normally require him to act as something other than himself to get closer to the target(thank the Lords and Ladies for acting lessons), he has a different personality than is usually shown by this mercenary. When he's being himself for once, he is shown to be a greedy, uncaring bastard. He's not greedy in the way that he never shares or anything, just greedy in that he loves money and always wants more. And he's uncaring in the way that he doesn't care for anyone but himself. If he ever helps anyone it'll usually be because he's bored, they're paying him, or he just didn't want to hear any whining later. That's basically Shadowrun in a nutshell. When he's not acting as if he's kind and gentle or acting as if he's Russian, he's basically just.. him. Powers: Shadow Manipulation. As is, his power is potentially dangerous. He is able to willingly control shadows and enlarge their size (to at least twice their original size) but he cannot make them smaller than they originally were. Can't break the laws of physics too much, can we? He is also able to create solid 3-Dimensional forms and figures out of the shadows that feel like smooth glass to the touch. These shadowy forms and figures can also engulf victims, so long as the victim isn't bigger than the shadows physical constraints. Using shadows, Shadowrun is also able to travel long distances between shadows, so long as the shadow he enters and the shadow he exits are large enough to fit his body. By sacrificing his own blood to the shadows (usually by cutting himself) he is able to amplify his powers two-fold. Despite all the uses of his power, he normally only has to darken the room so that his target doesn't see him sneak up and slice his throat, or just use the shadows to make some kind of needle or sharp thing to kill them unexpectedly. Power potential: It is said that he could potentially engulf cities with his shadows one day, but for now his power limits him to large buildings (not Skyscrapers.. like.. large two- to three-story villas or something) if used at their full power. Course this is all assuming he lives long enough, since his power grows the longer he lives. Other skills: Damn good cook, Assassination Skillz, Great acting skills. Equipment: Laptop (with it's own modem and wireless internets), dagger.. he doesn't need much.. History: Once upon a time, little Nathaniel Dayes was born to the mutant couple of Sherry Dayes ("MorphPhreak"; with the power of Telekinesis and able to morph inanimate object into different things) and Jonah Dayes ("Dark Dayes"; able to make the area around him darker by sacrificing light to create darkness). He was treated well as a child and grew up like any normal non-mutant human and he was happy. Unfortunately, he grew up in the lower class of society, his family not having much money. He always heard his parents talking and occasionally crying about not being able to get much food because the bills kept piling up and sapping them of all the money they had. He would sometimes tell his parents that he would get the money for them and things would be much happier. Around the time he hit puberty at the age of 10, Nathaniel began showing hints of his mutant powers. Mid-way through the school year of that year, the powers showed through. It happened during a routine beating from a bully. It was easy to see that they seemed to be somewhat of a combination of his mother and father's powers. He was able to create, control, morph shadows, etcetera. It made his parents proud that he had become a mutant. Perhaps Xavier would take him in now and provide him the training and education that they had been deprived of when they were younger. They had both gone to the Institute, but left to get married months after they had met each other. Soon, Xavier did come around. He had sensed this new power and it's potential to become dangerous, especially if left untrained. Nathaniel considered his offer, but he had made a promise to his parents that he would help them. He couldn't leave home. Xavier told him to contact him if he should change his mind and promptly left. It wasn't long before Magneto reared his ugly head as well, but Nathaniel again refused the offer to leave home. Magneto wasn't too happy about this, but he wouldn't force the Brotherhood upon Nathaniel. He would come when he was ready. Life went on as normal for the mutant child, and over the years not only did he learn to control his powers better from his parents, he even enrolled in a cooking class and the Drama club at school, where he learned to cook and act. His parents had been a little disappointed that he didn't go to the Institute, but were relieved that he didn't go with Magneto, so they were happy with him and the choices he had made. In his late teens, his family wasn't as poor, but they could still live better. Nathaniel began searching for a job, and soon found the perfect job. It was a job that he could use his mutant powers for. Unfortunately the job itself was not of a good nature.. He had become a hit man for the mafia and he did his job well, making quite a bit of money, which he shared with his family. Soon they were living better than ever. Unfortunately, years later, there came the time that his next job.. was his parents. But he couldn't let his 'friends' down.. With great reluctance, he killed them and took what was left of their money for himself. Quickly, he fled the scene. Now he continues to work for the mafia, though he is seriously considering joining up with either Xavier or Magneto. If he should get a good offer from either of them, he'll leave the Mafia and join with that side.. but until then, he continues as a lowly mutant hitman. Edited by Ryuchii, Mar 22 2009, 11:06 PM.

Not sure what I think about all these "neutral" guys for hire, but this looks good to me. Stamp
