History: Syria used to be like every normal teenager once, but that all changed after her powers began to manifest. Because of the side-effects of her abilities, she initially became very depressive, and began to shun away from sunlight, which many people took notice of. People began to pick on her, and hardly anyone stood up for her. It got to the point where one day, when no one was there to protect her, several bullies basically ganged up on her to teach her a lesson about being what they thought of as a "freak". They got in a couple of good punches and were ready to leave her there all bloody and bruised, but then she finally decided to stand up for herself. This only served to anger this group of misfits, who by nature hated being opposed, and they prepared to serious wound her.
In the heat of the fight, her abilities finally activated themselves in full, and without even realizing it Syria's shadow throttled one of the bullies and killed him instantly. The rest of the bullies began to run in fear, but she ended up pulling all of them into her "shadow realm", trapping them there. After fleeing from the others, Syria was stuck there for a while before she finally figured how to get out by herself, leaving the bullies trapped in that dimension forever. She found when she escaped however, that it was days later and she'd been classified as missing.
When she finally found her way back home, she told everyone that she'd gotten beaten up by some of the kids from her school, but couldn't remember anything since then, save for waking up and coming home. The police couldn't disprove her story and pin the murder and disappearances of the kids on her, so she was released from custody. But because of the the suspicion and rumors however, her parents relocated the entire family to New York.
After arriving in the huge city, Syria made contact with another demigod, and an unlikely friendship developed between the two. Through this friendship, she became a member of the Hideout, a company of demigods, people who like Syria, had abilities. While at the Hideout, she experienced several tribulations, ranging from all out attacks to infiltrations and such, before she finally left, promising her friend that she would follow her ex-boyfriend, Jimi Johnson, and protect him which he embarked on his own suicidal mission.
While with Jimi Johnson and Jimi's father, Joseph, Syria helped hunt down the man that had tried to kill Jimi, and during that mission committed her first willful act of murder. This served as the breaking point for her, fully unleashing her dark side and awakening a hunger inside her that could only be satisfied by killing. Under the alias "Shade", Syria began her reign as a serial killer, with murders ranging from New York to California, where she followed Jimi and his father.
Jimi's mission met with tragedy however when the man they were hunting gunned down Joseph, mortally wounding him. In a rage, Jimi burned the killer alive, leaving Syria to clean up the mess. After a short burial and funeral, Syria experienced an unlikely closeness with Jimi (amidst a fair amount of alcohol), and the two came together that night in an unexpected turn.
After that night, Syria left everyone and everything she knew behind, choosing to live alone and refine her talents. She eventually teamed up with other demigods, normally for dark purposes, but in the end wound up walking a lonely path of path and destruction. She left the Hideout having enough of the killing of normal humans which would do no good. She was after the monsters now. She'd go through a battlefield taking them down by the bunch using her powers and basically cheating.
Personality: To say that Syria is a mere sociopath is a severe understatement. Cold, calculating, and narcissistic to the extreme, she can in many instances be considered the ultimate epitome of evil. She is far from greedy like most other criminals, and she only has one true goal; to watch the Titans burn. Pain, agony, and chaos drive her to do what she does, as well as the pleasure she attains from watching all of the above. That not to say she doesn't enjoy a fair helping of other well noted sins, such as lust and wrath, but her main one is gluttony, for the simple fact of how much she pleasures herself in the suffering of others.
At first glance, Syria might seem like a simple jerk, with a fair helping of sexy thrown in to boot. She enjoys seducing people for the most part, and deceiving them as much as possible. That illusion, which allows her to trick others and toy with their emotions, is probably her favorite game to play on a daily basis. Though when it comes to convoluted schemes and dastardly plots (both of which Syria has a natural talent for), she is a stickler for details, and is easy enraged when her plans are foiled. And when Syria is angry? Well, lets put it this way; you'd be hard-pressed to find where all the itty-bitty pieces of the last person to piss her off are stashed...
Weaknesses:
• Rash
• Depressed
• Lonely
• Pessimistic
• Sinful
Strengths:
• Her ability; obviously, her ability is her most important asset.
• Sociopathic; her lack of emotions gives her a rare sense of objectivity, which can give her the upper hand and free her of the unwanted complications associated with emotions.
• Devious; she has a talent for creating facades, and pretending to be things she's not.
• Determined; once she has her mind set on a goal, anyone set against her would be hard pressed to deter her from what she wants.
• Athletic; with all the things shes's been through, Syria's body is pretty toned, and trained to be both flexible and quick.
looks: Syria has a very petite build, almost skeletal as if she is underweight. She's not exactly short, not tall, standing at an average height of 5'6. She's lean all over without an ounce of fat, and maintains that by working out vigorously to stay in shape. Her hair is usually messy, falling in silken dark brown strands that form natural ringlets to frame her angelic face. Those locks drift past her shoulders and rest just on her collar bones. Her skin is unnaturally white, but kissed with freckles along the bridge of her nose and the height of her cheeks, which she is rather embarrassed of and tries her best to cover it with make up. Her lips are full and rosey pink, she has an appealing normal nose and her eyes are almond shaped and blue in color.
Syria is very finicky when it comes to her clothing. She isn't the type of girl to go out and spend all her money on the latest new scarf, she is rather the opposite. A bit grungy, in a punk rock type of style. Her casual jeans are worn and purposely torn. Her shirts would be stretched until they were over-sized and baggy. Coats she wears would be adorned with buttons and badges, along with being frayed and the hemming. It might come off that she's poor or doesn't take pride in her appearance, but she does. Nor is she unwealthy. She's just following the trend of the underground, trying to pull off 'I just woke up' look. A style she gets very creative with, uncaring of what others will think of her. Never would she be seen in anything hot pink or what would be considered 'girly'. No frills or collared shirts, her clothing all very low key and vintage.
skills:
• murdering people quickly
• swords fighting
• very fast and a good cheater and liar
weapons: Syria owns different weapons, each is good for a type of monster or mortal. She has mortal guns in her house in New York and swords hidden under her bed at camp.
pets: none.
talents: Umbrakinesis
Syria's umbrakinesis allows her to manipulate darkness, but her ability to deactivate photons to create darkness is concentrated in her shadow, which acts as a physical extension of her mind. This concentrated deactivation of photons within her shadow results in a concentrated mass of extraneous energy that is bound in the form of her shadow, essentially creating a darkness that when activated has mass and is tangible. Her ability also allows her to essentially create a stable black hole/wormhole (by deactivating photons which creates an influx of light that can bend space) that leads to another dimension, specifically a shadow dimension that is linked to the deactivation of photons/light. By habit, Syria calls this alternate "shadow" dimension the Gloom.
- Quote :
- Umbrakinesis is the ability to mentally extinguish visible light and surround oneself or others in darkness and shadow. One with this power could or surround foes in pitch black space making all light in that area stifled and the person unable to see around them. One with this ability can physically control a shadow by creating them where they should not exist or simply moving them, a power which on its own is very innocuous unless one is easily spooked or afraid of the dark.
Note that one with this power does not have the ability to animate the shadows into beings of their own physicality. They cannot harm tangible objects or organisms because a shadow is merely the absence of light. It is, itself, not alive nor can it be used as a weapon outside of its capabilities of removing light.
Few with this ability are gifted with the extraordinary ability to travel through shadows (called Umbrageous Teleportation, accomplished by deactivating light particles and converting said particles into a dark version of a wormhole) and even fewer shift into an alternate dimension. Only one known case of this has ever existed.
limits: Despite the strength of this power, Syria carries a hefty amount of limitations too. For one, in terms of how physical her ability is, only her shadow is tangible. She cannot "construct" anything out of darkness, and with the exception of her shadow, the most she can do is create a massive blackout that only she can see in. And since her shadow is an extension of her mind, and uses up so much of her concentration and power, any wounds it sustains can be reflected upon her as well.
And at the same time, her ability to create and manipulate darkness is severely limited depending of the amount of light present in her surrounding environment. As her power functions by deactivating photons, it can require varying amount of energy/concentration to come into affect. If she were to try to create darkness on a particularly sunny day for example, this would take substantially more energy for her to do so than if she were sitting around in dim room. And at the same time, the opaqueness (and by extension tangibility) of her shadow is dependent on the amount of light present, as maintaining her shadow as active takes constant concentration and energy on her part.
And probably the most debilitating aspect of her ability is simply the physical ties she has to darkness, and the affect it has on her body. Physically she can't tolerate extreme light, and long-term exposure to light without an adequate amount of shadow or cover can actually drain her of energy enough to possibly kill her. Energetically she feeds on shadows and the absence of light, and is dependent enough that without it she becomes lethargic and weak.
With respect to the trans-dimensional aspect of her ability, it is basically a form of Umbrageous Teleportation, but instead of being instant it lingers in the "in-between" between point A and point B, allowing her to interact within this shadow dimension. Using or activating this aspect of her ability is just as restricted as her other abilities; the massive deactivation of photons necessary to create this "wormhole" requires varying amounts of energy, which can limit the size and stability of it. It is easiest for her to shift into Gloom herself simply by melding with her shadow, which is already active enough mostly to maintain a stable and energy efficient wormhole. Within this alternate dimension however, Syria is essentially powerless. As a dimension that is construed of shadows (which mirror our world), Syria cannot interfere with the normal dimension, and within the Gloom has no shadow to defend herself. Her only defense is the ability to shift out of the Gloom, which can trap a person there with no easy means of escape.
