[quote=@Meleck] I am interested! [center][b]SILAS "SHADE" MERRICK[/b] [i]The "Phantom" Cabbie of the Supernatural Underworld[/i][/center] [hr] [b]THE MAN WHO DRIVES THE SHADOWS[/b] [b]Appearance:[/b] A lean man in his late 30s with perpetually tired eyes that glint like wet pavement under streetlights. He wears a battered fedora that seems to swallow his face in shadows, and a long coat that's slightly too big - like it was made for someone else. The only thing pristine about him is his cab: a [color=yellow]1974 Dodge Monaco[/color] (Like the Blues Mobile) with a paintjob the color of forgotten dreams (It looks like a yellow cab taxi). [hr] [b]BACKSTORY: THE ROAD TO NOWHERE[/b] Silas never wanted to be a wizard. He was just a South Side kid with a knack for seeing things others the way reflections sometimes moved on their own, how certain alleyways bent at impossible angles. That talent got him noticed by [b]Lucian Voss[/b], a disgraced White Council warlock who specialized in mind magic and veils. Before he knew it, he and his parents were under Lucian's powers. Lucian taught him four rules: [list=1] [*]"The easiest person to fool is yourself." [*]"Ghosts are just memories with teeth." [*]"Never look too long at your own reflection." [*]"Never look someone's eyes too long." [/list] Their partnership ended the night Lucian stepped into a mirror during a botched ritual. [i]Something else[/i] stepped out wearing his face. Silas fled with only his mentor's coat and a set of car keys that hummed in his pocket. The keys led him to [b]Echo[/b], the sentient cab that became his livelihood and curse. Now he navigates the supernatural underbelly, ferrying vampires, ghosts, and worse between worlds. The cab feeds on secrets, and Silas... Silas just tries to outrun the things he's erased from his own mind. Silas's magical training is not complete (He's not a power hitter like Harry Dresden). He learned enough to: [list] [*]Create veils [*]Use mind magic to cause people not to notice him (he calls it a "[i]Jedi mind trick[/i]") [*]See and talk to spirits (mostly because of [b]ECHO[/b]) [/list] [hr] [b]THE CAB: ECHO[/b] [b]Origin:[/b] Originally a '74 Monaco used by a 1970s PI who bargained with a Threshold Spirit. The spirit possessed the car after the PI's murder. [b]Personality:[/b] Dry-witted and vaguely predatory. Refers to Silas as "[i]kid[/i]" despite being older. [b]Quirks:[/b] [list] [*]Radio plays songs from passengers' pasts (often uncomfortably accurate). [*]Headlights reveal hidden truths (e.g., a glamoured vampire's true face). [*]Hungers for memories - will sometimes "[i]forget[/i]" to charge fares in exchange for them. [/list] [hr] [b]DEFINING MOMENTS[/b] [b]1. The Girl in the Yellow Raincoat (His First Fare)[/b] Picked up a ghostly child. She whispered an address that led to a cold case murder. [i]Now her ghost appears in the passenger seat during rainstorms.[/i] [b]2. The Bloody Backseat Incident[/b] Transported a wounded Red Court vamp during the War. The cab absorbed its blood - now the stains reappear when danger's near. [i]"That's not mine," Silas tells passengers. "Probably."[/i] [/quote] Of course I approve. The problem is you're the only interested party.
