Rank: 5

Doll Information

Name: Cur

Manifestation: A small chibi version of himself guitar and all.

Element: shadow/dark

Description: Can manipulate shadows and darkness to conceal people and objects completely. When being hidden the object or user becomes a very solid black shadow/outline on the wall and can if its a person, move freely and move/pick up other objects in the same state. However if Reap does not accompany the person and they leave the hundred foot radius of power they will become like the shadows of Hiroshima, burned into the wall.

Medium: A solid black stratocaster, with silver strings.

Techniques

Name: Shadow's Cloak
Description: Transforms objects into solid shadows on the wall. If the person doesnt have a solid mind then the body will fade and may lose parts such as fingers toes, even whole limbs. This is a technique used in assassinations and for running away. The only way to prevent the technique is to be able to stop Reap from completing the songs that trigger his power. Due to the immense strain this technique puts onto the mind and body it will only last for a total of 5 posts before the user must become real again or risk serious injury. The large fatigue means it has at least a cooldown for as long as it is used.

History and RP Sample

History: As a small child his parents lived with him in a small one room apartment. His father was a violent drunk and squandered the families money away on alcohol. One night while his father was beating up Reap's mother, Reap was in the corner again hiding or at least trying. Reap stood up in a moment of bravery and pushed his father, the man in his very drunk/alcoholic poisoned state fell onto the only knife in the whole apartment. The older mans anger aimed at him the boy stumbled back as he took wild swings with the blade. Reap's mom stepped in trying to placate the man and was stabbed.
Suddenly sobering up Reap's father dropped to his knees and cried while shouting and yelling at Reap to get out and how it was his fault. Running from the apartment Reap tripped down the stairs and landed in a heap in the basement. Breathing heavily he ran out into the road and into the side of a car spinning and stumbling he tripped and fell on his way to an older part of town. Finally reaching his destination, an old home that had burned, sitting in the rubble Reap tried to stay awake but to no avail. Passing out in that place he was picked up by a gang and trafficked as a slave to a rich family in the nice part of town.

Hate overflowed in the new household, he knew both of the parents were having an affair with at least one person, and the son was a bully that beat and cut Reap with no consequences. Reap one day grew sick and tired of the family using his new and untrained powers he made it out of the house unseen(he had spent 5 years in servitude). Jumping onto a ship the ten year old got screwed on his pay and was making only enough for small meals and soon became malnourished. Jumping ship after only a year of working the boy had gained more scars to add to his back and arms. His last name forgotten he had replaced it by saying his last name was Orphan which is what he was by now. Being picked up by an old man who was kind Reap went to work as a servant again. Liking the work he did he was happy for once in his life, it went on for five years there. The arrangment came to a sudden end one night when a thief who had broken into the small but well furnished home. As the other man had been making his exit the old man had tried to dissuade the man peacefully and was shot. Reap attended the funeral and began wandering abroad for the next year or so.

During his year abroad Reap wandered around the world mostly to sample the fine cuisine of the many other countries. Finally making it back to Japan in three months, he found a small apartment on the mainland and kept a rigorous work out routine. One day a mysterious man in a formal suit with a briefcase showed up to discus some matters with Reap over the old mans will. It turned out the old man had left Reap a few things, an old black coat that would trail to his knees and a walking staff, Reap always wears the coat and keeps the staff in a shrine to the old mine in his apartment. (thats where this sad story ends..and rp begins)

RP Sample: Reap stood next to the door as the sun went down in the little alley and the cops finished their last rounds. Slowly moving to the mouth of the road he watched the electric lights come on as the sun slowly went down. Looking up and down the street cautiously Reap slipped back into the alley and the door. Feeling the cold wind begin to blow the light man sipped his long coat shut.
Stepping closer to the door to avoid the cold bite as it slipped through the various gashes in the coat. Flicking his guitar from his back the man began to play quietly. As the smaller version of himself, his doll Cur appeared at his right shoulder the young man looked to it and nodded. The small doll began playing also as Reap turned into a shadowy outline on the wall.
Stepping closer to the door the young man began to feel the pull on his limbs and focused on an image of himself to keep from having the horrible feeling of needles as his shadow was pulled at by the dark shadows on the wall. Taking a deep breath Reap stepped quickly into the shadows under the door and walked through the dark crack into the dimly lit building. Walking a few feet into the lower level of the popular store Reap nodded to his doll and regained his human form. Massaging his limbs he ducked down behind the counter and looked around.
With his quick and practiced glance Reap slipped to the hidden door behind the counter and knelt there waiting for a moment. Regaining his composure he once again became shadow. Looking around quickly he slipped into the stairwell and looked around for any hidden alarms, finding only a camera on the inside of the stairs he quickly slid up the wall and disconnected the lens from the camera, leaving it a useless wall ornament. With a quick motion he moved back to the floor and once again became flesh and blood.
Taking a couple of seconds Reap regained his composure again and began to sneak up the stairs. Finding the door at the top of the stairs he slipped out a set of lock-picks as he was not going to want to waste his stamina before having to go back through the deserted shop. Quickly and nimbly opening the lock with his practiced hands Reap gave a small involuntary jerk as the door creaked open. Holding his breath he slowly crept into the office and then became a shadow before leaving, this test of his skills was quite a success for him.

Get rid of the parenthesis instructions. We all know what it means.

For a level 5, I think you should add a bit more history. Maybe spacing it out will make it look longer, but even then it still isn't enough. Add a couple more paragraphs, please.

Transforms objects into solid shadows on the wall. If the person doesnt have a solid mind then the body will fade and may lose parts such as fingers toes, even whole limbs. This is a technique used in assassinations and for running away. Due to the immense strain this technique puts onto the mind and body it will only last for a total of 5 posts before the user must become real again or risk serious injury.

Explain more, please. You can make people into shadows on the wall? Make yourself a shadow on the wall? What if there are no walls around? What can other people do while they are shadows on the wall? Is there any way to get out besides waiting for five posts? Can you make attacks into shadows? Can there be a cooldown?

Can manipulate shadows and darkness to conceal people and objects completely. When being hidden the object or user becomes a very solid black shadow/outline on the wall and can if its a person, move freely and move/pick up other objects in the same state.

What is all this wall stuff? This needs a lot more explanation, sorry Reap. So, you run up on someone and conceal them, also completely changing them from whatever they are, into a shadow? And then they're on a wall? Huh?

Is there a way to defend against that shadow attack?

Approved.
