Spoiler ShowName: Tyler "Ty" Nightshade
True Name: Kalona Ayeliski Nightshade
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Shift: Death Touch/Feline Mimicry
Appearance: Tyler has eerily pale skin, dark brown almost black hair. There's streaks of white in his hair due to the stress he's been put under. His hair is slightly messy in terms of style, and he has dark grey eyes. Tyler's lean in terms of build, and he is “tallâ€; standing at the height of six foot even. His lean build lends itself to him being fast on his feet, but not what someone would call a heavy hitter. He wears a light black shirt that is baggy on him, through no fault of his own; there is the symbol of the Cherokee tribe he’s from imprinted on the front; and on the back there is a Grecian symbol on it. Stone washed jeans rest on his hips; and there's a chain belt looped through the belt loops. Tyler’s shoes are a basic pair of black combat boots, which have been scuffed up from years of wear. Tyler wears a thin leather strap that has his parents’ wedding rings on it in memory of them. He does have gold stud earrings in his ears, which he got on his sister’s sixteenth birthday after a game of truth-or-dare. Since the shift happened, Tyler also has a thin black choker with a silvery-white charm on it; it's not quite clear what the charm is though since he doesn't let people get close enough to see it. It seems to hold some kind of power, but the exact specifics of it are known only to Tyler and Mia.
Weapon: Even though Tyler prefers to keep his distance and attack his enemies from afar with his arrows he shoots from his bow, his friends have made sure that he is efficient enough using a staff that has two prongs at the top and hand to hand combat for when he is forced into close quarters combat; otherwise Tyler prefers archery in combat. He also has a bladed weapon attached to his wrist (think Assassin's Creed).
Personality: Night and day, Tyler seems to be a bit unpredictable with his antics unless you know what's up with him. The flip on personality though seems to have only happened after the Shift occurred, and it seems as if something inside of him fractured at that point. Anyway, time for his personality. Tyler doesn't talk much, if at all. He is cold and uncaring to those that don't know him, and sometimes even to those that do. Intelligent, he's quick on his feet when it comes to thinking up things. He can be a tad cruel when it comes to others, finding out what it is they're afraid of and then proceeding to taunt them with it. He won't throw the first punch, he refuses to do it. He can be fast to strike when angered, or even when not angered, it all depends on his mood. He can be pragmatic, especially in terms of combat and stealing things. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, even if his actions sometimes suggest otherwise.
In truth, Tyler is soft spoken and gentle. He isn’t exactly the leader type, but that doesn’t mean he’s a pushover. He does put up with a lot of stupid stuff from his friends, although he will draw the line so it almost seems like he doesn’t have an opinion. Observant, Tyler doesn’t miss much of what’s going on around him; and he does quite the impressive job of hiding his guilt over what happened when he was around ten. Although, that doesn’t mean he’ll let it drag him down so it compromises his friends’ safety. He is fiercely protective over those that he cares about, to the point where he can do some incredibly stupid things if they’re in danger and it can immediately send him into a rage if they’re in an extremely dangerous situation. He's also pretty introverted, especially when you compare him to Jack and Snow.
Bio: Oh, let's see here.... Tyler averaged about Bs in school given his health. He was even forced to stay home on occasion due to how his health could be. He became close friends with Snow and Jack, coming to view the other two boys as brothers. He eventually started dating Penny around the age of seventeen, he even got a black and white pit bull mix that he called Cerberus. Yes, he beat the tuberculosis that had terrorized his lungs and weakened them when he was little. Although he'd gotten word due to constant screening that he had developed lung cancer, something that he knew to be pretty much a death sentence.
He fell into a depression at this news, thus the reason for the puppy, it was Penny's idea to try and get him to cheer up. It worked for a while, even as pain tore through him because of the cancer and the treatments. The fight got harder when he learned that the tuberculosis had returned and had joined with the cancer to increase his misery. Now two years after that, Tyler had fallen into a routine involving doctors again, even though it was something he wasn't happy with. One night the Shift happened, and he gained powers involving death and taking on the traits of a feline. Something he couldn't understand, and he was left feeling even more traumatized when he found his dog dead and that his girlfriend was missing. Tyler knows that something inside of him broke that night, and whatever it was it seems to have his younger sister and his friends terrified. He doesn't know what happened when he got his powers, he still has no idea where Penny is.
All he knows is that answers to his and Mia's situation resides in Las Vegas, Nevada and that's where he's headed. He decided to head there to get those answers, Mia in tow since she insisted on accompanying him; and even then, he's got a doctor's appointment in that town.
Other: Since the night he got his powers, Tyler's suffered from blackout spells. All he knows is that something is seriously wrong with him, and he knows that before he "blacks out" he grows more and more irritable, but he doesn't know what's going on...or at least supposedly. In his origin story, Tyler is the host/partner/reincarnation (or whatever you want to call it) of Hades, the Greek god of the Underworld. His health is also absolute crap in there too because of the death related powers he inherited from Hades.

Thought I had it under control
Hear my voice, here it goes
Hear it louder than most
Here it goes, here it goes

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not worth it
It's not workin'
You wanted it to be picture perfect
It's not over,
You don't have to throw it away.

So scream if you wanna, shout if you need
Just let it go (take it out on me)
Fight if you need to, smash if it helps you
Get control (take it out on me)

Hidden Theme: Demons by Imagine Dragons
Spoiler ShowWhen the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Shared Theme (with Mia): Soldatino (Nico's Lullaby) by Paola Bennet
Spoiler ShowClose your eyes; i know what you see
The darkness is high, and you're in ten feet deep
But we've survived more terrible monsters than sleep
And you know i will be here to tell you to breathe
Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)
La ragione per cui vivo (the reason i live)
Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)
Io veglierò su di te (i'm watching over you)
Stumbling lost; the last choice of all that you meet
It's the cost of ruling those 'neath your feet
Paths you've crossed, and trust you're trying to keep
You're exhausted, listening for a voice that can't speak
(Ma nico, mio caro)
Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)
La ragione ho vissuto (the reason i lived)
Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)
Io veglierò su di te (i'm watching over you)
So you run; through shadows you roam
Seams undone by the love you thought you could own
But he's just one of many that you might call home
And maybe someday, the bitter will fade from your bones
Eri il mio soldatino (you were my little soldier)
Ora un principe oscuro (now, a dark prince)
Ma anche per te, c'è una luce (but even for you, there is a light)
Che ad un'altra vita ti conduce (that leads you to another life)
Battle Theme: Bring Me to Life by Evanescence
Spoiler ShowHow can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
Usually, death magic of any kind is off limits cause it teeters on God Modding, but I have known you for years now. I know you won't abuse it. So, approved. I am glad to see more shifters entering the fold. Now, everyone that has yet to post, please get typing.
I'm trying to write a paper for one of my classes, sorry for the delay.
There was a little bit of a formatting error when I copied the template from my computer over to the post. I tried to remove as many of it as possible but there may still be a little bit of it left here and there.Spoiler ShowName: Michelle Levierre
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Shift: Corruption Control
Michelle's power allows her to corrupt or purify anyone or anything around her to varying degrees. Her powers are controlled by her emotions and the state of Michelle's emotions greatly affects the onset of her powers.
Potential Powers
Positive emotions activate Michelle's purification powers and allows her to purify and cleanse any object or person. Her purification powers also encompasses the ability to free people from negative thoughts and emotions, and calm and energise them. The source of Michelle's purification powers comes essentially from the absorbing and taking in of all of the corruption in the environment around her. Michelle herself, however, is immune to the effects that any such corruption may have. Strong and negative emotions call forth the true might of Michelle's powers, allowing her to corrupt and corrode the world around her at her will. She can cause objects to become quickly corrupted and corrode into dust. She can also incite and infuse negative thoughts
Current Situation
Currently, Michelle's emotions are not stable and she cannot control her powers at all. They act independently of her will and cause Michelle even greater distress. This creates a cycle which worsens Michelle's control over her powers. Her powers are now also leaking into the environment: Contact with any part of Michelle's body exposes one to the streams of corruption which her body is releasing. Michelle also has not managed to access or figure out how to use her purification powers yet.
Developments
There are two ways in which I can see Michelle's power developing: The first is that she eventually learns to gain control of her emotions and, as a result, her powers,improving the reliability and usefulness of her abilities. I have several ideas how she may be able to unlock and/or use her purification powers. The second is one where she might potentially become a villain. She could easily lose all control over her emotions or crumble under the weight of her powers and decide to go about corrupting and ruining the world.
I can also see her potentially being brainwashed into cooperating with Salvation and using the more destructive side of her powers for Salvation's benefit. All of these depend on how her interactions and development with other characters go though so they aren't really fixed at the moment. I added this section just to show some of the thought processes I had had with her Shift as I was coming up with it.
Appearance:
Michelle stands at just under 5'7" tall. She is slightly taller than the average female with rather petite facial features and body structures. At first glance, Michelle's gold-coloured eyes and long eye-lashes stand out, giving her a somewhat stern and unapproachable exterior. Michelle also has rather fair skin Michelle has long black hair that she usually wears straight down, which reaches to her waist.
In an effort to control the corruption from her body, Michelle wears several layers of long and dark-coloured clothing which cover up much of her skin and body. She also wears a hood which is tightened around her head such that her ears and the sides of her face are covered up. She wears long-sleeved clothing and has her hands in a glove. She wears long pants and covered shoes as well. Her clothing shows signs of being affected by corruption: Blackened all over and being really dirty and worn-down.
Weapon: None
Personality:
Michelle is a somewhat aloof and reserved person. She doesn't talk much and prefers to handle things by herself rather than seek help from her friends. She is largely independent and somewhat resolute in her ideas and thoughts. Once she makes a decision, it is very difficult to make her change her mind. She is, however,not stubborn and will listen to logic though: She will be willing to change her mind and/or decision if there is a better solution.
Michelle's weakness however, is her tendency to overthink situations. She is also very pessimistic and tends to assume the worst-case scenario and over-prepare herself. Michelle also has a lack of social experience and is unable to interpret facial expressions and conversation cues. Conversations where she has to guess the other party's intentions tire her out. Also, while her independence may sometimes be a strength, it comes back to bite her from time to time as she frequently finds herself without anyone whom she can rely on or seek help from.
Michelle does not trust people easily although deep inside, she yearns greatly for someone whom she can trust and open up herself too. She puts up a strong front most of the time in order to protect her vulnerable interior.
Bio:
Michelle goes to Westmont High School. She and her parents stayed in California, before the Shifting phenomenon occurred. Most of Michelle's life was pretty normal before the phenomenon occurred. Michelle, however, did not have any friends in school due to her aloof and reserved personality. Students at her school did not dare approach her due to the standoff-ish air that she gave off. There were many rumours throughout school, which Michelle had tried her best to ignore.Sometimes, the students at school could also be a little mean and play tricks or pranks on her. Apart from that, however, life was bearable and fine for Michelle.
That was, until the Shifting phenomenon occurred. When the Shift occurred, Michelle had unknowingly started poisoning and corroding everything and everyone around her. Her mom fell gravely ill and eventually passed away from her illness within a few weeks. Everything at home and school started malfunctioning and breaking apart. Students from her class also started falling sick. Soon, there were rumours all around school about her being cursed and jinxed.
It was during one of the pranks that the students were playing on Michelle that her powers truly manifested itself. Unwittingly, Michelle's powers seeped all over the school compound corroding the school and its environment. In fear, Michelle had run off, leaving behind a trail of corruption and destruction. She had managed to calm down eventually, but now enlightened with knowledge of her powers, the weight of the fact that her mother's death may have been her fault and the fact that all semblance of her normal life at home had now been destroyed, Michelle finds herself making her own way towards Las Vegas in the hopes that she can find out more about the Shift that she had developed and learn some way to control it.
