Masashi is a fair-skinned, 21 year old man. He stands at 5'10", with jet black hair and crimson eyes. He often wears various black suits, usually with red or white variations. This is mostly to keep up appearances wherever he goes. When he can afford to not expect as much attention, he will sport a more simple and comfortable approach of black shorts with a white t shirt. Secretly he enjoys wearing pajamas within the comfort of his home.

When he transforms, Masashi wears a mostly black suit and tie with gold trimmings, along with lightly armored pauldrons, Light knee plates, black gloves, a shoulder cape, fedora, and face mask

[h3]Personality[/h3][/color]
Masashi is incredibly prideful and flashy. He enjoys having the limelight, and is more then willing to save those innocent peasants for the image it gives him alone. Unsurprisingly shallow and arrogant. He enjoys taunting foes and rivals, believing himself to be superior to most, and deserving of the powers he was given more than anyone else. Due to his overconfidence, he isn't easily provoked until one starts to prove that his overconfidence is misplaced. He loses his cool façade when he realizes he doesn't have the edge he thought he had and will start getting more desperate and aggressive. His inner hobby as a wanna-be actor tends to let him be overdramatic at times.

[h3]Background[/h3][/color]
Masashi was raised in a strict but wealthy household. Growing up, his parents did little more then encourage an insecurity upon his self worth. At first, this made him a meek and quiet kid. But there was a turning point in his later teens when he had one last fight with his parents. He left on his own, given a generous sum of money as a form of 'take it and leave' from his father, and lost all communications with his immediate family. He was desperate to spite his parents, prove he wasn't a deadbeat, and tried to make a name for himself. His pursuits as an actor didn't get very far, and at his lowest point, that was when Hades contacted him, and made him a deal. 

Masashi had thought he'd won the lottery, power and fame. What more could a man like him want? All he had to do was to keep this territory safe, and spread Hade’s name. Taking his image seriously, he quickly grew to see others territory owners as his immediate rivals.

[color=8882be][h3]Aspect Magic [/h3][/color]
Dark energy is pulled from his shadow towards his ring, which can manifest in various forms. The shadows weaved can take on various properties, such as a flowing liquid, dark lightning, black explosions and fire, or a solid plexiglass-like mass.

While initially he can only generate shadows around his ring, he can create a liquid-like surface of shadows to expand his range of creation, typically in the fashion of of a circle beneath his feet, or a mass above him like a cloud. Creating an expanded mass requires a building up time and continued connection to maintain, along with a lot of energy to maintain.

He can attempt to 'mimic' attacks, or rather copy the form of said attacks by shadow manifestation. Such as someone's fire wave with a black fire wave, granted this 'copycat' strategy is solely based on his shadow manifestation ability. He's still limited to his own power, and can't create something that his shadows can't do, or mimic some conceptual or status effect.

The strength of his ability to create shadows is strongest at dusk and dawn. During the day between is at its weakest, and the night between is strong but not as much as dusk and dawn. Light-based abilities and magic can 'petrify' his shadows to some extent, limiting his ability.

The general range of his creation is limited to the ring's general surroundings, though he can expend energy to create a shadow mass to further his range. 


One of his favored techniques is creating a katana that he dubs 'the Umbral Blade.'

The arm that the ring is worn on can be transformed into various shadowy-shapes. His primary tactics in this regard is a stretching/retracting serpent, a shadow-made minigun arm cannon, or a claw.

He can disperse into his own shadow to move around quickly, though the moving shadow can be hit with an attack to force him out of it. 

He can substitute an attack with a shadow clone, but can only perform this once every night.
