[hider=Colton Rhodes] [u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [INDENT]Colton Boyd Rhodes[/INDENT] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [INDENT]Shadow[/INDENT] [b]Gender:[/b] [INDENT]Male[/INDENT] [b]Age:[/b] [INDENT]26[/INDENT] [b]Height:[/b] [INDENT]5'11"[/INDENT] [b]Weight:[/b] [INDENT]162 lbs[/INDENT] [b]Home District:[/b] [INDENT]Isabella Isle[/INDENT] [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] [INDENT]Black[/INDENT] [b]Eye Color:[/b] [INDENT]Grey[/INDENT] [b]Ethnicity:[/b] [INDENT]Caucasian (American)[/INDENT] [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] [INDENT][img]http://s12.postimg.org/bcmp057ml/Verthaven.png[/img] Colton has slightly paler skin than most, since he's forced to hide from direct sunlight because of his powers. This doesn't hold him back, however, as he parkours and runs along the many rooftops of Verthaven. This has caused his muscles to be fairly strong for someone of his "judge by the cover" statistics, as most would expect him to be skinny and lanky. He is also slightly above average for his age, in both height and weight.[/INDENT] [b]Attire:[/b] [INDENT]Colton tends to wear dark hoodies and clothes that protect him from the sunlight, and at night time he wears white t-shirts with various vinyl designs printed on them, paired with dark green jeans. When he's in his club, however, (see Other) he wears an eccentric jazz-style suit and combs his hair back into a slick, flat style.[/INDENT] [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b] [INDENT]Around those that know him, Colton is bright-eyed and light hearted. He is cheerful, and puts a smile on those around him, despite his seemingly "emo" look. His powers were completely random, and the exact opposite of him, so he really isn't one that likes to be judged by his looks. Anybody who is his friend will know that he's utterly modest and hard on himself, but still eager to learn and improve - the perfect growth mindset. When meeting someone not known by him, however, it's a different story. He's secretive, protective and emotionless. He does what needs doing and leaves. This has made him quite unpopular amongst people, and merely branded as "that weird emo kid". He doesn't care, though. However, if optimistic or welcoming enough, he will talk to and feel comfortable around certain people. Just be cheery and warm.[/INDENT] [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] [INDENT]Colton loves roofrunning and parkour, and also loves night time photography.[/INDENT] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [INDENT]He is very agile and athletic, and an incredibly fast runner. He is also great at using cover to his advantage, and excellent at planning out tactical approaches to things.[/INDENT] [b]History/Bio:[/b] [INDENT]Colton was born in Union-Point Hills to Amy Rhodes and Geoff Taylor. His mother and father were happy together, and he went to a four star school. Nobody knew about his powers at a young age, he was just the only kid at primary school with dark grey eyes, nothing more. But as he moved up to high school, his powers began to develop. He disappeared from the sight of bullies, things were suddenly going missing from people's hands, and people claimed they saw Colton Rhodes running about in the yard. His mother was furious at him, telling him he needed to register. He just said it was unfair to register, it separated metahumans from everyone else, and he wouldn't walk about with a chip in him. His mother tried and tried, begging him, but he said no. This led to many problems in the family, and just after graduation, Geoff started domestically abusing Amy. This carried on for 7 months, until she killed herself. Colton ran away from home to Isabella Isle, and lived there with his powers. He eventually managed to settle in, and used his savings to get a house there. He continued to save up, before buying a club and finally having a life.[/INDENT] [u][b]Relationships[/b][/u] [b]Family:[/b] [INDENT] [list] [*] [b]Mother[/b] - Amy Rhodes [*] [b]Father[/b] - Geoff Taylor[/list][/INDENT] [b]Dynamics:[/b] [INDENT]|| [i]Hasn't met anybody yet, will update as he interacts with people.[/i] ||[/INDENT] [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Elemental[/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [INDENT][list] [*] [b]Blend[/b] - Colton has the power to become a shadow, and blend in with any dark corners or areas, perfectly camoflauged and unnoticed. Only if he is stationary, however. [*] [b]Teleportation[/b] - Along with this, Colton can teleport himself to a dark corner or area within a 10 meter radius, so long as it's within his peripheral vision. [*] [b]Room Dimming[/b] - Colton can use his powers to make a room or area dark, so long as the lights in there are only dim. It's even better if there are no lights at all. This can give him the tactical advantage, due to the fact he is strongest in the shadows. [*] [b]Dark Vision[/b] - If in a dark area, Colton can see the outline of anything within the darkness, and its activity, giving him a map of the area without the need for night vision. [*] [b]Shadow Decoy[/b] - Another ability of Colton's is that he can create the shadow of any person and project it onto a wall or floor, to act as a decoy or to dick with people.[/list][/INDENT] [b]Limits:[/b] [INDENT]The maximum amount he can stay a shadow for is half an hour, and he can't see through walls with dark vision. He's also unable to project anyone's shadow if they are in sight.[/INDENT] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [INDENT]Since his power is of darkness and shadow, Colton is sensitive to light. Any area he is has to have either a shadow cast over it, dim lights, or something protecting him from sunlight. Luckily, a hoodie is under that category. Dark clothing also helps, and he has to wear sunglasses if it's a hot day. Sunlight also makes him slightly unable to see. If he ever is in contact with direct sunlight for more than ten seconds, it can damage his sight permanently, or even cause him to burn up. A bright flash of light from a torch can also screw up his vision a lot.[/INDENT] [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] [INDENT]He lives in an abandoned house in the Ghost Town as he can blend in with the shadows, and he runs an evening club that performs post-modern jukebox and steampunk songs, and even sometimes a cappella. He also considers himself a vigilante, as he tries to stop as many crimes as he can as he runs along the rooftops.[/INDENT] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwFJfm_g6yQ&feature=player_embedded][b]Theme[/b][/url] [/hider]
