Character Info

Name: Itzal
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Homeworld: Earth
Affiliation: Chaotic Neutral

Weapons: None

Items: None

Powers/Abilities: A darkness elemental, telepathic, can teleport thorough shadows, (limit of this is about 50 miles at max), can form tendrils of shadow that can be used as weapons, is able to bring a persons inner darkness to life by forming a body of dark matter and using dark energy to hold it together (a dark clone if you will). Can use his telepathy to create dark illusions (personal fears and the like), can transform his body into a living shadow (in this form he cannot be damaged save with bright light, but can not out right attack anyone either) also can manipulate dark energy and dark matter.

Dark Matter: Makes up over 90% of the matter in space, this form of matter abosrbs light and heat, the amount of absorbed is relative to the amount of dark matter conjured, is use by Itzal mostly to create shadows if the area is not condsive to them (aka a sunny day)

Dark Energy: Makes up over 90% of the energy in space, this energy exists in the empty space between atoms, thorough the use of this energy Itzal can cancel gravity between atoms, effectively causing them to break apart. It is also a worthy of noting that dark matter and dark energy are key ingredients in black holes. (Note: they are not the only ingredients)

Weakness: Powers take more work if done in areas with a large amount of light, if is hit with light in his shadow form, he is scattered and most reform himself. Dark Matter diminishs as it abosrbs light and heat therefore if using to create shadows it must be constantly replenished, thus it takes a good bit of his contration. The distortion of dark energy that Itzal uses must orginate from him, meaning it must travel from him in the form a wave or the like, he cannot stare at something and cause it be destroyed. When in his shadow form the only other ablity he can use is shadow tendrils(and their combat effectiveness is reduced by at least half as a simply flashlight is all that needed to make one disappear). Is not skilled at hand to hand combat, prefer to use his mind as a weapon. Dislikes being in the daylight.

Pets: None

Appearance: If you seen a picuture of the Nazgul or of the reaper you know what this guy looks like. Wears dark robes, with a hood over his head, none save his partner Lucius have seen what lies beneath it

Personality: OC, Is a dark serious person, takes life seriously with little reguard to humor or fun, doesnt place much stock in friendship or allies

History: Itzal has no memory of his parents or any sort of family, since he can remeber all he has had is darkness for a companion. During this time he existed, he didnt consider it living, he merely stole what he needed to surive. Then one day he encoutered light, Lucius another one with gifted powers. At first the two didnt get along at all, and tried to kill each other, but gradually they gained a respect for each other and even friendship. They began to travel together. Has come to Jump City for his own reasons with his partner Lucius, doesnt pay the teen titans any mind as long as they keep out of his way. Has known Lucius for nearly 5 years, and has traveled with him for quite some time, what the two seek is a secret known only to them.

First person RP: "If you are truly set upon a fight then come, I shall be your opponent," From my back several long tedrials of darkness appeared,

"If you believe in a god I suggest you prepare yourself, for you will be meeting him soon," The tendrials shot forward with great speed.

"Though by the time I'm through with you, I'm not sure your god will recognize you," I said as the tendrils converged on the man.

Third Person RP: The sky was overcast, the shadows deep, all in all another day of rain for Jump City. As the people walked up and down the streets lost in each of their own little worlds, they never noticed the eyes that watched them from the shadows. From his vantage point overlooking the streets, Itzal watched the thousands of souls that walked up and down the streets, the cold wind rushed past his dark robes unoticed. "This city will do just fine,"

"Ya really think so?" A voice asked behind him, Itzal turned to see Lucius leaning against the side of the building.

"Yes Lucius I do,"

Lucius grinned, "Then I'm all for it,"

"Good,"

Ah, a little bit more in first person RP please.. and I only counted one (not really one, actually)weakness. Also, a bit more in history would be good, and explain his (how he makes the "dark clone" real and such) powers a bit more.

Okay...LOT of work needed here.

Telepathy, teleportation, shadow blades, inner darkness, control of dark energy, control of dark matter, transforming into a shadow and creating illusions.

and to top it off; your character's only real weakness is light which can be avoided by shading out and hiding in a building.

Not. Going. To. Work.

You say he's a mental combatant primarily and only mediocre at hand-to-hand? Lose the blades. They're not his style.

Lose his basic control on dark energy and dark matter as well. Confine it to specific abilities. By those power listings alone, the dude can potentially create and control black holes at will; an auto-kill only avoidable by teleportation.

Oh, and the teleportation is rather redundant with his ability to fade into a shadow form. Keep one, lose the other.

Personally here? I'd keep the inner darkness bit alongside with his ability to make a person face their nightmares (limit on how long/effective that is please?) and either the teleportation or shadow-forming. If he's a psychic fighter primarily; keep him that way. The other stuff you have right now drags him out of his listed combat style and into a melee artist.

PS: first and third person RP samples could stand to be longer than a couple sentences each.

Dark Matter Dark Energy, I would like to keep these, without Dark Matter my guy is even more handicaped during the day, and I had put down in the weakness section that useing it was a constant process that took alot of concentration. Using the dark energy only gives him two ways to physically attack his target which I think fits into his profile of a distance/telepathic fighter.

Shadow form/shadow porting: At first gance it does seem reduntate but shadow porting is used to ferry him from location to location, shadow form is like a steathy mode used for moving steathly about in a place, the shadow form doesnt have super speed and can travel across town in an instant, so I dont really see how its reduntant.

Time limit on dark illusions: This one I really dont see the point of. We all know if I use it the opposing character will at first be overwhelmed with sorrow fear etc then will face the fears and defeat them and thus defeat the illusion. Or though planning with the rper the person collapses from the illusion in some sort of state. Either way the illusion is ended, now I will add a limit in if you really want me too, I just dont see the point.

I didn't say get rid of them entirely. I'd only said keep them in the area of the illusions/nightmares bit, rather than broader manipulation in general. The Dark Matter's ability to create shadows is negating his shadow-form weakness entirely (as he can just create shadows to hide in even if someone shines a light in).

Dark Energy in its general manipulation format may work for now assuming I have two questions answered.

1: You said it originates from within himself. Is there a limit to how much he can produce?

2: For destroying/breaking down things, you'd mentioned it travelling in a wave-line. Would this essentially be firing a black starbolt-style blast that has the same general damage effects?

Shadow form/shadow porting: At first gance it does seem reduntate but shadow porting is used to ferry him from location to location, shadow form is like a steathy mode used for moving steathly about in a place, the shadow form doesnt have super speed and can travel across town in an instant, so I dont really see how its reduntant.

So you're saying in the shadow-form, he loses ALL other abilities until he reverts to normal? (as otherwise he could simply shroud himself in darkness or teleport; thus negating the light weakness)

My mention of redundancy is due to the fact that they're both evasion techniques of a sort.

Time limit on dark illusions: This one I really dont see the point of. We all know if I use it the opposing character will at first be overwhelmed with sorrow fear etc then will face the fears and defeat them and thus defeat the illusion.

Actually, only you know that since that's how you have the character designed and whatnot. Secondly; not everyone can defeat their own inner demons *points to how Starfire, BB, and Cyborg pretty much got thrashed by their own inner selves* I guess we can skip the idea of a time limit for this one if you want, but I'm still iffy on just how long these things can last in a fight. As unliving beings; they're practically tireless.

PS: First Person RP sample lengthened?

[Nankotsu]

1: Hmmm limit to how much he can produce, I guess the limit would be how ever much energy his mass would be if converted into energy, if he made any more he would explode.

2: I was thinking more along the lines of Jinx's hex blasts, the energy hits something solid and travels through it for a shrot distance be foere disapating.

3: In shadow form he can not use any of his other ablities save shadow tendrils and even those are extremely reduced in effictivness (aka you could point a flash light at one and it would disappear)

4: In that area I was just going off the way other rps that i've done where Itzal has used that power, as of right now the illusion of fears or whatever Itzal makes would last until the person broke thorugh it, was broken under it and Itzal stopped it, or Itzals attention was greatly shifted.

5: I'll try but Itzal is my quiet character he doesnt talk much, but I'll try to squeeze a bit more out of him.

Bear in mind that the first person RP can also be actions. It doesn't just have to be dialogue (seeing as how he's not that chatter)

1. Wouldn't he implode instead of explode? It IS a material component of a black hole right? Well Black holes are stars that have imploded.....so implosion seems more sensible. Either way that'd hurt alot.

[Nankotsu]

Could be........ maybe he would explode first then the explosion would implode on its self......... or maybe I'm just thinking about it to hard, but yes major pain comes with either.
