Well, here it is, sorta. Might tweak some things here and there, but other than that, it's pretty much done.

[h2]The Watchman[/h2]

[b]Name: [/b]
"OH! You bothered asking? Instead just going off that horrid nickname everyone gives me? What was it... Oh yes, [b]'The Watchman'[/b]? Terrible name indeed! No, my real name is-" 
[b]Age:[/b]
No one has ever figured out his age...
"I'm 42 years and counting good sir!"
Oh... well then... way to ruin the mystery! 
[b]History:[/b]
"Ahh my past eh? Well of course I can tell you! You see, it all started in a little tow-" 
Too boring, moving on.
[b]Personality: [/b] 
The Watchman is a man shrouded in mystery and coldness. His masked figure only shows how reclusive this silent man really is. 
"For god sake man! What is wrong with you!? I am a gentleman of course, considering mannerism and posture to be of the utmost importance! Particularly those of great respect! Now, I do consider myself to be friendly individual, as it this friendliness is what allows me to succeed in my, ahem*, business. On a deeper note, rationality, thoughtfulness, and the pondering of meaningful questions of our universe occupy me. I will never be rash man, jumping into the pit of danger with not a care in the world! Cautiously, I would plan out and analyze my situation, allowing me to proceed with the utmost precision and efficiency!"
Uh huh... want to mention that you're also a successful hitman? 
'Err, excuse me!? WHAT LIES! WHAT UTTER-"
We're done here....
[b]Tome:[/b]
[hider=-The Black Tome-]
(A dreadfully uncreative name!)

The Black Tome is a dark magic tome in the Watchman's possession. When the blade is drawn it enhances his abilities of manipulating the shadows around him, whether it be to conceal him or trick his attackers. Though, these are only very minor, basic abilities. He only two abilities truly worth mentioning. First and foremost is his ability to summon a large swarm of man eating rats. This horrific ability sends rates to consume their victims alive or die trying. They do, however, fade into nothing after a short amount of time. This power is mostly used in desperate situations as the Watchman finds the attack rather... "barbaric". Second would be more a utility power to him than one that really affects others. Anyone he kills, if he so likes, can be vaporized into nothingness in an instant. They simply are engulf and consumed by the darkness, forever hiding the body. A very useful tool for a hitman such as himself. 

Now, one last thing to mention. While his actual combat skills will go unaffected, the sun will hamper and weaken his more arcane abilities. The brighter the sun, the less powerful his tome his and so on.

Hey look, [@TheWindel], I think that ga certain masked fella we know will have tons of fun with this guy. Other than his background  (for as much thematically as it's, I think it's too short, a simple OOC explanation should be enough to know that to make of him IC), I don't have qualms about this guy, anyway.

Edit: Now that I see it, he hasn't chosen a side as well, so you could add this to good BG.

Edit #2: The story bit is just a suggestion, you don't really need to take it to the letter if you don't want to. Kind of forgot to add this before.

Now that I think about it, what if the person changes over time through character development. Would the tome change alongside the person, or stay the same?

Also, Windel, would it be possible for a tome to become part of a persons shadow?

If it makes sense within the story, I don't see why not. That's exactly why they have academies, so that students can fine tune their tomes in a controlled way. Now, obviously you can't do a 180 degree spin (fire mage becoming an mage, for example), but you can evolve to something that does your archetype without problems.

Also, as far as Unity goes, times can do anything other than said reality breaking effects (bring back the dead, time travel, etc). Becoming part of a shadow is no problem at all. Just remember that your tome has to have one main function and the rest is linked to it somehow.

EDIT:

Edited this because my phone screwed all that I wrote.
