Given Name: Kassia 'Kassie' Zelda Lyon
Alias: Kassie
Furcadia Alt: Kassia Lyon
Species: Homo Superior
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Mutation:
Shadow Manipulation

Shadow Merge: Physically become one with a shadow, she cannot be seen at all except by other shadow users. Can remain in there limitless amount of time, but she must stay by the shadow she entered otherwise she has to find another 'window' back, which can be nerve wracking.
Kassia can leave inanimate objects behind in the shadows, ie backpack filled with supplies. As long as it is something she can physically move she can take it and leave it by literally placing it beside the shadow 'window' back. Unless the shadow is there to access, she won't be able to get whatever she left there with the exception of walking through the shadow realm (refer to first paragraph as to why it doesn't happen much.)
(Unknown) Kassia can pull just one other person with her in to a shadow, but then there's a time limit and distance limit. The combination leads to how long the person can hold their breath and how fast she can move them with her.

Non-Breathing: Kassia doesn't need to breathe while she's in the shadows (since there is nothing to breathe there anyways), thus can stay there an undetermined amount of time. But she does get hungry, and tired, and other bodily functions while there so she won't stay there forever. Anywhere else she needs to breathe like everyone else.

Shadow Fiend Form: pull on the darkness provided by shadows and make it form around her like an armor. It is held close to the skin akin to a glove. Digitigrade legs give her increased speed, with clawed hands and feet to help maneuver and to cut with. Two 'tails', one from her shoulders and the other from her hips, provide stability. She's able to manipulate the surface to either keep smooth or cover in spikes.

(Unknown) Shadow Grenade: take from shadows and make a ball of darkness, lobbing it in to a group/area and making a temporary cloud of darkness; essentially smoke grenade.

(Unknown) Shadow Camouflage: whenever she concentrates while in a shadow she and whoever she is touching go invisible

Mutation Weaknesses:
Merge: She can be manipulated by any other shadow users with the capabilities to do so while in the shadows
(Unknown) As soon as she and her tag-along return she will become practically useless; she'll be in and out of consciousness, and loopy/drunk-like, for the next three days. More of a fail safe than actual use at this point. She only gets drunk/loopy from bringing along a passenger, never on solo trips.
In the event she would somehow lose her passenger they would be essentially thrown out the closest shadow to the point where she let go of them which depending on the surrounding environment could prove damaging.

Fiend Form: Kassia's 'armor' only has a one-time hit duration. If she gets hit while in it, the shadows repel the strike but disintegrate at the same time. If she were to get hit there again it would do damage unless she has time to 'repair' by pulling more darkness over the spot.
The less additions, ie spikes to the suit the longer she can hold it. The duration is 10 minutes at the moment, but any added spikes or 'repairs' eat up time.
Per spike: 30 seconds
Tiny(half hand) Repair: 20 seconds
Small (hand) " ": 25 seconds
Medium (Half Limb) " ": 40 seconds
Large (Full Limb) " ": 1 minute
Extra Large (2 limb/half body) " ": 3 minutes

(Unknown) Grenade: The cloud only lasts one round unless she is physically inside to keep 'stirring' it up, and only 5 per hour (per RP)

(Unknown) Camouflage: Those in the shadows with her cannot move. Once someone starts moving she loses her focus and the moving part can be seen. Can be held for 3 rounds.

Secondary Mutation:
Enhanced Dexterity: moving like shadows, Kassia can control her body with greater accuracy, making her naturally graceful and physically difficult to grab

Enhanced Agility: especially while using her shadow fiend form she can twist, spin and flip around to dodge attacks

General Weakness:
Light-based attacks make her head spin when hit
Any other shadow user that controls shadows catches her within a shadow/as a shadow fiend they can toss her around

Physical Description:
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 100 lbs
Physique: Athletic
Appearance: Long golden blonde hair, pulled in to low pigtails wrapped in purple cord to keep it mostly out of her face. Pale skin, freckled from sun exposure. Slightly skinny from improper eating she hides it by wearing slightly baggy clothes. B-cup. Can currently be found in torn and patched jeans, old sneakers that are starting to no longer fit, a black tank top and purple button-up shirt, unbuttoned and tied up at the front, sleeves rolled up to stay out of her way. To top it all off she has an old, ragged coat that she hides in the shadows when she doesn't need it.

Personality: Perfectionist with karate, withdrawn, private, quick to anger, absolutely hates being called a liar, honest, survivalist, resourceful, attentive, slightly paranoid, hard, starting to grow out of tomboy.

History: (sorry for it's length)
Kassia was born in to a happily little home in suburbia with a housewife mother and a hard working father. Her older brother loved her, and there wasn't a care in the world. It looked like nothing could break this bubble for her, until her father was killed in a car crash when she was 8 years old. After that her mother had to start making ends meet, and her 14 year old brother stopped being around so much and started working to help out. They all had their way of mourning his passing, her mother by crying, her brother by retreating to his room every time he was home. Kassia's way of mourning was to start fighting. Which lead to her almost getting expelled from school, until her mother put her in to karate as an outlet for the mourning anger. When she finally did move on from anger, she continued with karate as a hobby that she lived and breathed.
Four years down the road, her life being filled with school, friends, karate, and sometimes her family, her mother started dating again. Most of them were okay, and she was mildly upset that her mother would betray her father like that, but she understood on some level that her mother was happier now. Her brother was working, still helping out but getting ready to head off to college which meant he didn't have much time for his kid sister. In Karate she successfully moved up to 1st Dan, or the first level of black belt. Everything seems to be doing alright once more.

Enter Derek, one of her mom's boyfriends. To everyone he was super nice and friendly, even to Kassia. Except when they were alone. He was cruel, sadistic, and abusive. No one would listen to her concerns, passing them off as lingering and unacceptable resentment for Derek dating her mother. One night he comes in to her room while 'babysitting' so her mother can have a night out, and Kassia hides under the bed before he can find her. When he turned on the light and started hunting around for her the desire to hide was so great Kassia closed her eyes and curled up in to a ball. When she finally opened her eyes the young 14 year old found herself in a strange world, filled with only black and white. Sitting up she looked down and found herself in a fuzzy sort of mirror, one that doesn't reflect her but rather the environment around her. Sitting there, safe, she watched Derek hunt around. He all but ransacked her room, lifting up everything before leaving the room with a promise that when he does find her, he will make her hurt. There she remains until she can hear her mother's voice, which she crawls back through the 'window' and goes running to her.
Half a year later Derek moved in. Her grades dropped, she started hiding more and more and basically avoiding everyone she could, tired of being called a liar for not loving Derek like everyone else. She stopped taking Karate No one can seem to understand why she doesn't like him. By this point every night she goes through the shadows and sleeps there, not really exploring much beyond the darkness in her room. A month passes and there's no sign of Derek. She thinks he's given up, and wanting to sleep in her own bed, crawls out from her hiding spot. Not knowing her mother went out, she fell asleep. Abruptly startled awake she opened her eyes to Derek angry, gripping her painfully. Terrified she tried to run but he dragged her to her feet and starts beating her. Backed in to a corner Kassia began to fight back, and what was supposed to be a slap turns out to be a black claw across Derek's face. Horrified she watched him drop and scream, her mother coming in to the room a breath later. Derek instantly begins throwing accusations, shouting that Kassia never liked him and she did it on purpose. Kassia could only stutter to her mother that it was an accident, that Derek has been hurting her for as long as her mother has known him. When her mother didn't say anything Kassia ran. She went straight to a shadow and disappeared in to it, getting as far away from the house as she dared in that colorless realm. Once she found a window back she climbed out, no claws or anything, and disappeared in to the night.

Kassia lived on the streets for two years, developing her abilities to the point where she is now through various encounters with her fellow street-dwellers. Her Karate, taught for defense, was honed. She no longer pulled her strikes as she did at the dojo, afraid to hurt someone. Now she does on purpose. Wary that her mother believed Derek, she avoided and still avoids any sign of authority, cops especially. Wandering from town to town she's now found herself in Bayville, dumpster diving to keep herself fed and scrounge up new-for-her clothes.

Possible Future: Kassie's powers developing to the point where she can move people through the shadows without getting ill, and maybe being able to manipulate other shadows perhaps. Not sure with that. Other than that, I'll play it by ear.

Faction: Neutral: See where RP takes her (I'm thinking Brotherhood, however)

Extra: Nothing.

I already asked about (unknown) stuff being locked. You already understand that these things can be locked through lots of play time, and what you have started with looks great. I also approve. Welcome to Bayville!
