Character Sheet, now COMPLETE.
Name: Natalie Addison
Alias: Penumbra
Powers: Umbrakinesis, the ability to manipulate shadows and darkness. The capabilities of this power are as follows:
- Natalie can hide in other people's shadows or large shaded areas, make her body intangible and absorbing herself into them.
- Natalie can shape shadows, changing their forms to whatever she desires.
- Natalie has superb night vision, allowing her to see in near-complete darkness.
- While in an intangible state, Natalie can also phase through solid objects.
- Can heal any physical wounds she has by spending time in dark areas.
In addition, Natalie can also levitate at very low heights.
Weakness: Sunlight, or any other light source, can be particularly harmful to Natalie, making her feel weak or drowsy in small dosages and making her physical form less solid. If there is too much light, it can make her very weak, and it is theorized that it may kill her, causing her body to disintegrate and never reform.
Experience: Natalie has had no experience in fighting whatsoever, and has only recently gotten a handle on her powers during her first year in the modern world.
Appearance: The best way to describe Natalie's appearance is that she appears to be a three-dimensional silhouette of a woman. Her entire body, skin and hair, are all pitch black, making most details of her appearance difficult to describe. The only real notable thing is that her hair seems to be just past shoulder length, her eyes which glow a distinctive white, and several white glowing markings, tattoos of a sort, on her arms and legs. At night, her body is solid, but during the day, her form is more ghostly, almost smoke-like,
like this. Her eyes and tattoos cannot be seen during the day, and her body is less solid, making it difficult for her to touch people or pick up objects.
Age: Unknown. Her body hasn't really matured all that much since age 14, when she supposedly "died". However, if her story is correct, that makes her over 80 years old.
Brief Bio: If one were to ask Natalie about who she is, where she comes from or, more pointedly, WHAT she is, expect a complicated answer as Natalie's memories of her past are somewhat skewed and even the few bits she CAN remember are difficult to swallow. She claims to have been human at one point, living in the England in the 30s. At a young age, she kept seeing things that no one believed, like her shadow moving all by itself, areas suddenly getting very dark at strange times, and, even more worryingly, she would feel drowsy or lightheaded when in bright sunlight. For a while, her parents simply thought she was pretending. Then, one day, when Natalie was age 12, she went mysteriously missing for three days, and when she returned, she claimed to have no memory about what had happened or where she had been.
After that, Natalie started having nightmares. Her family would be woken up each night to her screaming, would run to her room to wake her up, and would find her lying somewhere different from where she had previously slept and find she was unable to remember what her dream had been about. When Natalie was aged 14, Natalie's parents admitted their daughter to a mental institution. Natalie is unable to recall anything clearly after that point, only mentioning that she felt "a lot of pain, then nothingness".
Skip to present day, Natalie wakes up to find herself lying on the streets of modern day Millenium City with no idea where she is or how she got there, and now transformed into her current shadow-y form. For the first few weeks, she lived on the streets, befriending several of the homeless who were able to tell her about the modern world. After discovering and mastering her strange new abilities, Natalie has come to the conclusion that she died at some point during her treatment and that she has come back as some sort of ghost or wraith, possibly to try and resolve some "unfinished business", though she has no clue what that may be. For now, she has a tendency to stay at random peoples' homes, "haunting" the house for a while until the residents start to become suspicious and then moving onto the next place.
Notes:
- Due to her experiences, Natalie has a deep fear of hospitals.
- Despite everything that has happened her, Natalie is a fairly upbeat and cheerful individual, albeit somewhat wistful of her loss of humanity. Still, she can't help but feel grateful for her powers.
Commitment: I can certainly at least make the 2 post per-week, if not more. If the story was progressing at a reasonable pace, I'd definitely be able to make one post per-day if I needed to.
