Yes, that's exactly what I mean. He's overbearing, strict, and at times nagging, but really it's all for their sake. He enjoys cooking, cleaning, teaching, and sparring. He's close friends with Seraph and the two counterbalance each other in multiple ways, both in battle and in life at the academy. The mutant also is a major artistic person, being proficient at playing electric bass, as well as writing. He can often be found just noodling in his room with his white bass. On the other hand, Anshel is an extremely paranoid and anxious person. He can't stand being alone for too long, and will be the first to break a silence if one occurs. This also plays a part in his mother figure status. It causes him to be very overprotective of his "children" figures. This includes anyone who is younger than him, or even older people that haven't been attending for as long as he has. He'll openly attack people who he believes are putting others lives in jeopardy, make brash decisions to attack government officials if he thinks they have injured one of his friends, and even display his power in public to get others out of harms way. This is what makes him both dangerous to himself and to his opponents. [b]Ability:[/b] Shadow Control - Anshel's ability to control shadows is unique in that they loose most of their required properties. He can mold three dimensional objects, or send them around as two dimensional entities. He can completely control their movement, but they can only move as fast as their size permits (bullet sized objects act like bullets, steel girders will be like throwing a steel girder, albeit somewhat easier due to his shadow manipulation). He can only use shadows that already exist however, as in, he can't generate his element. [b]Limits to Ability:[/b] Anshel requires shadows to use his ability. Also as mentioned, he has limits to the speed and size of shadows he can easily control. Direct, focused light can dissipate the shadows as well. [b]Age admitted into Riverwood:[/b] 16 [b]Background: [/b]Anshel went a surprising amount of time without anyone noticing his mutation. It's in it's nature to be hard to notice anyways. Odd shaped shadows are the last thing a normal person would consider "magical." He herd about Riverwood from a friend of his, and they arrived together on their own terms. His friend passed away from untreated pneumonia after the trip however, and Anshel made it his goal to make sure he didn't loose anyone ever again. He soon befriended Seraph, and the two have acted as a team ever since. Anshel is considered a "big dog" on campus, but he's more of the person to turn to for friendly advice then the intimidating and powerful figure that his friend is. He refused to disclose his real name, and so people referred to him as "black" by the nature of his hair and powers. He has since adopted the name as his own alias, rarely ever explaining to people that his real name is Anshel. [b]Appearance:[/b] See above [b]Other:[/b] He likes kittens[/center]
