As anyone can imagine, as a test subject fused with a Tremon, Shade has acquired quite a few interesting traits. Perhaps everything didn't go just fine and dandy in his experimentation process, but this is what makes him unique from all the rest. Unfortunetly, just because something is unique, doesn't mean that it's useful..

Needless to say, he has a very pale skin color, with white hair and normally deep blue eyes. He is able to change his eye color at will, but he mostly uses blue since it seems to suit him quite a bit. Shade is capable of turning himself (along with his clothes) translucent; he doesn't do this too often, but he will if he ever feels that its necessary.

Here's where things begin to get a little interesting. Most of the test subjects fused with Tremons had ended up with their strength and speed enhanced to an equal level to those in the V division. This didn't quite go so well with Shade. He had inherited a speed equal to theirs, however, he lacks the strength; it was simply something that he was unable to pick up, even with multiple other attempts and experiments, his genes refused that fusion.

His telekineses is a little 'off' from the other's as well. It's actually a lot easier for him to move things that are not a solid substance. In fact, he isn't even capable of moving solid substances. He would find it easiest to move air, but since air is not exactly visible, it would be difficult to practice any kind of technique with it. That being said, he's normally only capable of using his telekineses on non-dense liquids; that could include water, soda, etc, etc.

Considering the abilities Shade lacks and are incapable of picking up; it would make sense for anyone to wonder why the scientists would bother to keep him around at all. Well, this is simply because despite the fact he wasn't able to pick up a few of the common traits, he was capable to pick up something that most wouldn't-- actually, that most, simply couldn't. It's common to see that those fused with a Tremon are incapable of using their abilities to start fire or ice; yet for Shade, this is a different story.

Shade possesses no connection to fire, but instead, one towards Ice. Yet, it's not even 'complete'. Perhaps it's confusing when something like that is said, but to put it simply, Shade's ice abilities aren't that great. His skin is normally cold, and he is able to breathe a cool mist upon his will. His greatest ability in terms of ice is when he turns water into ice. Even then, Shade would have to make direct contact towards the water and apply himself with extreme focus to even create so much as a cube. So as you can see, the ability is not complete; but its the reason the scientists allow him to live...

Abilities Summary
- Capable of changing eye color at will
- Translucent at will (along with his clothing)
- Great speed
- Telekinetic towards various non-dense liquids (this includes mist, or fog because it is very dense air, but not as dense as liquid, so this would actually be easier for him to manipulate)
- Incomplete ice abilities

Appearance »»

Shade has one form, or perhaps, technically two. His first form is his regular one, while the second one is just how he looks while translucent. In either case, Shade does have the ability to change his eye color, but he is most commonly seen having it as a deep shade of blue. His hair is about shoulder blade length in the back, and he has bangs to his eyes in the front. It is also layered in the back, and can be seen as a snowy-white kind of color.

He's not the tallest guy out there, yet he's not all that short either. He stands at about five feet, eight inches tall and weighs... Well, he's never really cared much for his weight, and it's not as if he has much of an oppurtunity to check it regularly anyways. Besides, weight is only the force as to how much gravity is pulling you down; so, to describe his physical build, he has long legs, and a thin figure. He does have a shy muscle tone, but nothing impressive, or disgusting in that sense.

Normally, he can be seen wearing clothing of the dark colors. Namely black. He doesn't have a particular preference as to what he wears since clothes are simply clothes to him. He is also often seen wearing a necklace, something like a dog tag that holds significance to him. While in his translucent form, he looks the same as he does in his regular one, and yet, he is see-through so it would be easy to not notice him if he didn't say anything.

It's the language that we speak

Overall Personality »»

Shade has a complicated personality. He doesn't often express his emotions in an outwardly way; but he doesn't bottle them up either. He uses various outlets to vent his anger and stress so that he doesn't go insane. Let's face it, he is already a little insane, and there's really nothing he can do about that. He has a bad habit of self destructing once in awhile, especially when he feels that things are his fault and that there's nothing better to do then to suffer for it. *cough* emo *cough*

On a brighter note, Shade can be seen as a gentleman, at least when it comes to being polite. He treats everyone the same regardless of their appearance; and he doesn't treat anyone badly unless he feels that he has a good reason to. Although he can be a young man of very little words, it is normally devastating when he is truly able to speak his mind. He has a slight potty mouth at times, but it's a rare thing to hear.

He's not exactly a 'Loyal' experiment, but he's not really 'Unloyal' either. He's tolerant. He realizes that if he tries to escape, that he will likely just get caught again and beaten for it. Of course he has tried to escape at least once by now, and he's learnt his lesson that it's best he just stay put for the time being. He has learnt to accept that he'll be stuck inside for a lot of his time, so it's a good thing that he's creative.

Shade has always loved music, his particular interest just so happened to fall upon the piano at an early age. More on that passion will be described in the History section; he's also not that bad at drawing and sketching. He doesn't enjoy painting because he is left handed and always ends up having to hold the brush in an awkward way; yet that doesn't always stop him from attempting to make something nice every now and then.

History »»

Shade was born to two loving parents who.. Well, they gave uncommon names, insisting that their children will be the ones to bring them back, so, that's where 'Shade' came from.. After a couple years growing up around them, they had soon had his little sister when Shade was about four years old. They decided to name her Cecile, and so it was. Perhaps Shade didn't like her much at first, as an infant he thought it was annoying that she cried so much, but, after the older brother instinct kicked in, he was happy to spend time with her and they became the best of friends.

School was normal while growing up; typical boring classes with typical boring subjects which was just fine and dandy.. But as time passed, Shade realized that there was more to life then learning; yet instead of rebelling against the idea, he embraced it and went off to learn better things. He didn't literally set off or anything, but, this is when he discovered his great passion for music. He didn't learn how to read sheet music at first, in fact, he skipped that and went straight to playing what he felt like, but after a couple years, he did go back to learn how to read the sheets so that he could actually begin writing down his compositions.

In a way, he was a prodigy when it came to playing the piano, which is what lead him to realize that this may be his purpose..

At the age of fifteen is when he had been taken in as an experiment. He's not sure what happened to his parents, but he does miss them. How did this happen? While they were taking younger people for experimentation, Shade and his sister had been walking home from school one day and they were simply taken... It does sound odd that they were just snatched in the middle of the day, but they weren't, really. It was winter, they were walking home from school, so it was already pitch black outside. One moment they were walking together, side by side, the next they were blindfolded and taken away somewhere in a hovercar.

Once they were... 'inducted', into the Academy, they were both separated from one another and haven't see each other since. It's been two years since it all happened, and Shade isn't even sure if Cecile is alive anymore or not. He wishes to believe that she's okay, somewhere in the large Academy, and yet, with all the painful experiments that have been performed upon himself and others within the last two years.. Well, he's beginning to doubt it..
