[color=004b80][I]Male[/I][/color]

[color=662d91][b]Appearance[/b][/color]
[color=004b80][I]Seamus is a tall fellow, standing at 6'3" in height, with a lean body build. He has messy dark red hair that hangs down to the back of his neck. His eyes are a deep royal purple color and are quite unsettling to some. He has a very fair complexion, not having a blemish in sight.[/I][/color]

[color=662d91][b]Costume[/b][/color]
[color=004b80][i]Seamus's costume is rather unorthodox when compared to the flasher superheroes around. It consists of a dark grey long sleeved button up shirt under a black collared jacket along with some black slacks and a pair of black dress shoes. He also wears a scarf wrapped around his neck, occasionally using it to cover his lower face like a mask.[/i][/color]

[color=662d91][b]Personality[/b][/color]
[color=004b80][i]Seamus has been described as the quiet type countless times, he only speaks when he finds it necessary. He doesn't have much of a sense of humor, he is more of the dry sarcasm type of person when he does try his hand at a joke. He may come off as cold but Seamus has a kind heart, he wouldn't dare mock someone and people seem to find him a rather good person to talk to about their problems given his calm demeanor. He is incredibly loyal and protective of his friends and family, not hesitating to stand up for them.[/i][/color]

[color=662d91][b]Equipment[/b][/color]
[color=004b80][i][u]Satchel[/u]
Seamus has a enchanted satchel that is capable of holding a whole warehouse worth of items and it doesn't even loose it shape or get any heavier.
[u]"What? I like to read."[/u]
Seamus keeps a library worth of books in his satchel, most of them on the mystical arts though he does have a few more normal books
[u]Ring[/u]
Seamus's ring is made of a special metal found only in the Shadowlands. It is a simple band that wraps around his finger, though it does have a crow engraved into it. One odd thing about the ring though is that it is freezing to the touch.
[u]Camera[/u]
Seamus has managed to get his hands on a top of the line camera and takes it with him everywhere, usually keeping it around his neck. He is known to snap pictures at seemingly random moments.

[color=662d91][b]Powers[/b][/color]
[color=004b80][i][u]Darkness Manipulation[/u]
Seamus, like his father, is connected with the realm of semi-sentient darkness known as the Shadowlands, which allows him to manipulate darkness in varies ways. He can create constructs out of shadows, the larger amount of shadows available the larger and stronger types of constructs Seamus can summon. Seamus usually uses shadows to form things to restrain and subdue people, his favorite method so far seems to be summoning giant hands to grab and toss around foes. He is able to turn shadows into a disk he can use to levitate and fly on, giving himself extra mobility. Though his connection to the Shadowlands are strong Seamus hasn't mastered his powers yet and has trouble using them to their full potential. Such as unlike his father Seamus has yet to be able to summon actual creatures from the shadow lands. Like wise Seamus hasn't been able to shadow travel own free will, which is basically a form of teleportation. To help regulate his powers Seamus wears a special black metal ring.
[u]Sorcery[/u]
Seamus has a real knack for magic and has spent years studying and learning new spells, regardless of the school of magic it is from. He uses anything from verbal incantations to hand gestures to use spells, though like a lot of magic users he finds it easiest to simply utter his words backwards to perform a spell. He is rather well rounded in his range of spells, even being able to perform spells that many magic users would find 'dark'.
[u]Enhanced Healing[/u]
It seems that Seamus gained some of his father's resistance to harm, though not nearly to the same extent. A beating that would leave a normal person in a coma or dead will knock the wind out of Seamus and that is about it. He heals a lot faster than a normal person, a twisted ankle or a broken arm will be healed up in a few hours. He can even take a few gunshots with little problem, but pump a few too many bullets into him and He will go down.

[color=662d91][b]Abilities[/b][/color]
[color=004b80][i][u]Arcane Knowledge[/u]
Seamus has a in-depth knowledge on a nearly countless amount of subjects involving the magical side of the universe, anything from the names of long lost civilizations to rituals to invoke powerful spirits.
[u]Multilingual[/u]
Having to read thousands of books in a almost countless amount of different languages Seamus has become fluent in an astonishing amount of languages, many of which long dead or even never spoken by humans at all.
[u]Talented Artist[/u]
All the sigils and ancient markings Seamus had to learn to draw made him quite the skilled artist, he can draw some pretty life like images. Though he seems to prefer photography.
[/i][/color]

[color=662d91][b]Weaknesses[/b][/color]
[color=004b80][i][u]"It is a bit too bright in here."[/u]
Seamus has of yet to be able to produce his own darkness so at the moment he has to rely on whatever shadows are near by in order for him to create his constructs.
[u]Ring[/u]
Seamus hasn't mastered his powers yet and as such he must wear a specially enchanted ring to help focuses them. When he doesn't wear his ring his powers are known to go haywire, summoning creatures from the Shadowlands, shadow walking him to random places, and even attacking other people.
