His words on it? It makes him look cooler. He's never seen without his red scarf, expensive shoes, and his permanent frown. He stands a modest 6'0", though occasionally he wears boots that bump him up by an inch or two. He dons a few battle scars on his torso, neck, and arms. [color=slategray]Role at SDN:[/color] Phoenix Program [color=slategray]Background:[/color] [hider=BACKGROUND] A two and a half generation immigrant; Vergil is half-Japanese, half-American. Growing up, he was only taught how to speak English and is mostly estranged from his own culture outside of random factoids and tidbits his mother tells him. In harsher terms, he only happens to be Japanese--most of his mannerisms, accent, and swagger are distinctly American. He tries his best to represent his family regardless. Somewhat outcasted growing up due to his oddball status, he never quite fit in with his peers. Too boisterous for some, too quiet for others. He lived a banal childhood until he reached 20. During his time in college, he developed a keen interest in chemistry--specifically [i]drugs.[/i] Money was beginning to become a problem, his parents weren't much help (they had their own financial issues), so in his eyes? Becoming a dealer was an easy paycheck. He had all the supplies, all the equipment at his college lab, and he had knowledge. Creating a bit of crack was easier than most people thought, after all, and it'd be no issue for someone like him. Vergil studied chemistry on the side and trafficked drugs on main; he had a hand in a few drug rings, though they never lasted too long and he was starting to get sick of splitting pay between distributors. He decided to pick up the slack himself, going out on his own as a dealer. It'd be easier that way, right? He'd get more money too. ... Right? His first deal went terrible. His drugs were top quality--made him a bigger target, and the criminals he sold to were more than happy to 'bargain' (aka hold him at gunpoint) for a better price. He needed a new strategy and badly. He picked up a new persona: Eclipse, a masked drug dealer with a scary voice, scary eyes, and killer blades. His first set of villain gear was a rough approximation of what he has now, instead of armor, a bullet proof vest; instead of a metal mask, a hockey mask that he picked up at a Spirit Halloween. He learned to carry a knife or two when dealing. If his clients wanted to play dirty, than so be it. He'd play dirty too. Any 'bargainers' were found with their throats slit behind dumpsters. Word started to spread about 'Eclipse' and his top quality drugs--not laced, no chemical substitutes; the purest drugs you could get on the street. Red Ring picked Vergil up as their personal drug dealer; he couldn't say no, not when the largest crime syndicate wanted him. He'd supply them with only the best... only the best drugs. In exchange, they took care of his money issue, granted him new gear, and provided chemicals from time-to-time. He spent a few years working for Red Ring in college until he was ratted out by a classmate for misuse of lab chemicals. Caught red-handed cooking crack in college, he fled the scene, smuggled as many goddamn chems and lab equipment he could, and left to work with Red Ring full time. No more college studies, no more papers, no more snitching classmates, just pure drugs. Over the years, he started developing his own personal drug, something to make him even stronger, more useful to the syndicate that took him in. Gulping down a chem cocktail, he developed Umbrakinesis after nearly dying to his own drug. He could barely move without being consumed by shadows, shadows, shadows... every thing was turning dark. And it was then Shroud that taught him to control his powers. And it was then, his dream was fulfilled. He was fully in Shroud and Red Ring's debt--they made his suit, provided him with chemicals, gave him a steady cashflow, taught him everything there is about his own power. He became another standard Shroud lackey--manifesting from the shadows to kill off dissenters and potential enemies, though he still made drugs on the side. Eventually he was caught after heroes were called in during a shoddy assassination and put in custody. Now 32 and with Red Ring gone and Shroud either dead or in custody, he was moved to SDN Claremont to prevent him from reconnecting with the remnants of Red Ring and put in the Phoenix Program for rehabilitation. [/hider] TL;DR: Drug dealer learns self-defense after killing muggers. Drugs so good he gets picked up by RR & becomes a Shroud Lackey after developing shadow powers from his own special drug.

The eye sockets glow red, the mouthpiece is a voice filter, and his arms both fitted with metal gauntlets. Two large blades are strapped around his forearms. There is an extra compartment in his forearm guards--a shooting mechanism that contains throwing knives; by flicking his wrists upward, Eclipse is capable of arming himself with throwing knifes should his larger blades be lost or damaged. [color=slategray]Powers:[/color] [i][color=gray]Umbrakinesis / Darkness Solidification / Shadowportation[/color][/i] Eclipse can freely manipulate shadows, particularly his own. He is capable of using shadows as a weapon and recon tool by manipulating it's properties (elongating, shortening, solidifying, etc). Offensively, his shadow can be used a rope to strangle or restrain enemies. He can teleport from shadow-to-shadow, though this part of his power takes intense concentration and forces him to be still. It's not something he can do on the fly, which is why he prefers to either be alone when teleporting through shadows or to kill every enemy in the same room before escaping. Regardless, he uses this part of his power frequently to 'keep everything quiet'--it's the only reason he hasn't been busted for wearing armor. His greatest weakness is the light. If it's directly shined on him, his powers will become weaker, if not downright useless. Additionally, his powers are more limited in Phoenix Program as he is unable to create more of his 'darkness' drug to maintain his power's strength.

As a studying chemist, he used his knowledge of chemicals and his college's equipment to produce and distribute various drugs to various villains. He sees the Phoenix Program as an easy out and paycheck. Though, compared to others within the Phoenix Program, he's much better at following orders and 'behaving'. He believes that if the higher-ups think he's on way to redemption, they'll let him develop his drugs again (for the hero's benefit, obviously [sub]but if villains paid better, than so be it[/sub]).

Nowadays, he just uses it as an excuse to call himself an 'edge lord' as the piece of land was located at the edge of a fishing town. - He tries to avoid the light whenever he stands--typically positions himself off in corners or near obvious shadows. - Always carries cash. Always.

He always a crazy look in eyes, but barring that, he has the face of an archetypal young hero. He has short, brown hair, some of which covers his face, and a godawful taste in fashion outside of his "hero" outfit. You've never seen a fashion disaster until you see what he wears off-duty. [color=dodgerblue]Role at SDN:[/color] Phoenix Program [color=dodgerblue]Background:[/color] Carmen has always looked to heroes growing up. Really, who hasn't? They can beat up on bad guys, get away with things normal people could never do, and look cool all the while. Being famous was also a plus. Carmen never outgrew his love for superheroes, remaining as starry-eyed as he was as a kid, and that made him an easy target for bullying growing up. Namely, during his teenage years, he was one of those insufferable band kid types, a bit of a superhero know-it-all, exactly the kind of kid nobody could stand. No one liked him, Carmen didn't like them either, and he made the worst (or perhaps best) decision of his childhood: he challenged all of them to a fight after school. Yes. All of them at once. If what the heroes said was true--that anyone could become a superhero if they worked hard enough--then Carmen would find out now. Not all of his high-school bullies showed up, but it was still a crowd, and dear god, did Carmen get his ass handed to him. ... Or did he? If there's one thing heroes always did, it was this: they always got back up, stayed hopeful, and most importantly, they always won in the end. He saw it all as his special origin story! And it was working! He discovered his powers that day during an after-school brawl turned bloody. He tanked each and every one of his bullies' hits, beat them to a pulp as they desperately tried to gang up on him, and maybe hurt a few onlookers by mistake after tossing one of his bullies into the crowd of spectators. After that day, no one messed with him, and he branded himself as an unstoppable hero ever since! By the time he reached adulthood, he started investing all his savings into becoming a vigilante known as Madcap, an unstoppable crime fighter with a love for justice and all things heroic! If you ask him personally, he'd done nothing wrong. If you ask any authority, he was a piece of shit vandal who'd spray paint his name onto private property, jacked random people's vehicles for either personal use or to crash into criminals, and had no moral compass. For fucks sake, he'd mistake someone looking at him funny for a villain and beat them bloody. Carmen made the humble mistake of turning himself and another "criminal" in to the police, which landed him in Phoenix Program. He has the drive for heroism, just... doesn't know how to handle himself properly. [hider=Hero/Villain (if applicable)] [hider=Villain Name & Image] [color=dodgerblue][h2]Madcap[/h2][/color] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/ec/62/29/ec6229fe22a2cb46a5342b5378bc547d.jpg[/img] [/hider] [color=dodgerblue]Appearance:[/color] Pretty much everything in included in the photo. He's dressed in an expensive suit of bug-themed armor, with a nice coat to boot. And for the record, the tie stays on during everything. Everything. Outside of a cool helmet and some upper body armor, his legs are the least protected. His boots in particular are the cheapest part of his entire outfit. [color=dodgerblue]Powers:[/color] The happier he is, the tougher he gets! He has enhanced durability, at the cost of it scaling alongside his mental state. He's a highly volatile and unhinged guy, so his mood changes at the drop of a hat. One moment, he's superman and practically invincible; other times, he's depressed and cuts his fingers opening a soda can. Try and keep him happy, even if he's... insufferable. It'll boost his performance. When excited or happy, he can shrug off heavy amounts of damage (though he'll feel it after he comes down from his high). When depressed, his durability shrivels down massively and he's highly susceptible to getting injured. In game terms, he tank a certain amount of injuries like Punch-Up, but past a certain threshold or on job failure, his stats will drop equal to the injuries he's sustained. [color=dodgerblue]Crimes (If Villain):[/color] [color=gray][i]Disturbing the peace, aggravated assault and battery, property damage, all degrees of murder, vandalism, disorderly conduct, robbery and theft[/i][/color] While Carmen claims and attempts to be a hero, he fails to factor civilian casualties and property damage into the equation. He fights crime, accidentally kills a few people here and there, definitely doesn't pay for everything he breaks, and tries to get away with it all "in the name of heroism." With how loud he talks, he's also an incredible public nuisance. [/hider] [color=dodgerblue]Likes:[/color] - "Being AWESOME!" - "Beating the shit out of bad guys!" - Sugary foods [color=dodgerblue]Dislikes:[/color] - Don't ever call him by his real name. Ever. - Civilian life - Whenever his favorite bakery runs out of pork buns [color=dodgerblue]Quirks:[/color] - Always, ALWAYS shouts like a fucking maniac when he's feeling good. His comms mic is always on max volume. - He'll always pick 'dare' when playing truth or dare. - He had a motorcycle once. Crashed it, and got busted for trying steal a new one for "the good of the people." - Godawful at math, like, all of it.
