Character Name and Age: Atticus Fenix/29
Alias: Eclipse
Appearance:

• Out of Costume: Atticus has white blond hair and ice blue eyes in sharp contrast to what his abilities are capable of. His features are well defined and fairly attractive. He usually dresses in light and comfortable clothing that allows him a lot of movement, he almost always wears sunglasses.
• In Costume: His costume is made up of flexible aramid fiber panels that overlap across vulnerable areas, while leaving joints free to move without too much restriction. Looks wise, it is designed almost like armor out of a fantasy video game with a small shoulder cape and hood. He wears a breathable mesh that covers his lower face as well as a pair of high tech goggles to hide his eyes and allow him to see his enemies when he shrouds a room in shadow and to protect his eyes from light.

Alignment: Hero
Powers:

• Umbrakinesis(Shadow Manipulation)-his abilities are limited to utilizing shadows that are already present, and they only last for a certain amount of time.
  
  • Shadow Constructs-Can solidify shadow into chains to bind, various weapons, extra armor, tendrils that can attack, etc.
  • Create Darkness/Cloaking-Can cause shadow to completely fill a room or block out like allowing him to move freely while his enemies can no longer see. Can also do it on a smaller scale and just cloak himself
  • Darkness Adaptation-Has enhanced senses and stealth capabilities while in the dark, but makes him much more sensitive to light
  • Teleportation-can teleport through shadows, but it is incredibly dangerous as one false move could cause loss of limb or even death
  • Sunlight Sensitivity-the sun is not his friend and generally he keeps himself well covered and wears protective shades when out and about
• Mixed martial arts-specifically Krav Maga which his brother taught him, though he does occasionally add in moves from other disciplines
• Special Operations-Highly trained in infiltration, weapons, and hand to hand
• Tech-carries several different self-made tech devices or weapons that may aid in his fights in the event he exhausts his abilities or encounters someone who can nullify powers.

Personality:

• Character: Overall, Atticus is a fairly amiable guy. He has a good sense of humor, enjoys spending time with his friends, and generally has a zest for life. He can be serious when needed; he has a sharp wit and intelligence that he'll use to his advantage both in and out of costume. He is confident in who he is as a person, but he can be a bit reckless and impulsive sometimes to the point of unintentionally putting himself or others in more danger. He is charismatic near to the point of being manipulative, but overall he means well. He spends most of his days working with his brother, Marcus, teaching martial arts to all ages in less affluent neighborhoods as a way to help kids get off the streets and learn valuable skill and discipline. He genuinely loves his job and the people he works with, which is why he works so hard to keep his identity a secret.
• Hero: As a hero he is much the same way, but a bit more over the top. He greatly enjoys being in the spotlight when it comes to ending a fight, but he isn't above working with other heroes if need be. He can sometimes come off as a bit annoying, but it is clear that he does care for the people he fights for and with. He chooses to gain loyalty through affection and camaraderie rather than punishment or fear. His time working in so many different jobs before he finally settled and opened his own martial arts studio gives him a wide breadth of knowledge about all different kinds of people that allows him to connect with other heroes, civilians, and potentially even villains. His powers and background make him appear more villainous, which he will use to his advantage if necessary.

Status: Identity is secret, he doesn't want to put his brother or business in danger, but while in costume he is more than willing to stand in the spotlight and talk to all manner of people.
Background: Atticus was born with his abilities as was his brother, but that didn't stop his family from being trapped in a less affluent neighborhood overrun by gang activity. His parents constantly fought about anything and everything, so he spent most of his time away from home, mainly at the library or outside with his brother practicing with their abilities or whatever caught their fancy. As he got older he finally concluded that people who play by the rules get screwed and the only way to succeed is to break them. After his brother left to join the military he lost the one person who kept him out of trouble he ended up dragged into one of the gangs; hiding behind a mask of sarcasm and apathy because it was easier than dealing with his problems. Eventually his parents got fed up with him and sent him off to join his brother in the military where he shaped up and lost a lot of the bitterness of home; especially the value of inspiring loyalty and working with a team. He got much of his training in weaponry and martial arts in the time he spent with the military, as well as finally getting the chance to go to school and earn a degree, in engineering specifically. Eventually he joined up with the Spec. Ops where his degree and powers came in handy for the covert missions they did. Thankfully, due to the classification of all of his missions, his identity is still a secret from the public as only his unit and CO's know what he is capable of. After many years both he and his brother left the service and went back to their home town, setting up a martial arts studio for the less affluent neighborhoods so people had a better chance than they did.

So, when Cameron turned 5, he was put through all kinds of lessons. Singing lessons, dance lessons, acting lessons, and he was still homeschooled to get a normal education.

Besides, Cameron did enjoy some of the lessons his mother put him in. He liked singing and dancing, and it was discovered that he had a beautiful singing voice.

To celebrate, Cameron put on a major concert. Everything was going well, but several things happened to make the concert end early. There was an explosion at the laboratory that was near the concert venue Cameron was performing. This caused a strange blue mist to spread all over the area. As everyone was trying to evacuate, Cameron was unfortunately struck by lightning, and had to be put in the hospital.
