Name: Darrin Edwin
Age: 27
Sex: Male
Race: Human - Shadowwalker
Personality: Something of a loner, a bit rough around the edges as a result of time spent in the Shadow Realm, but still he tries to maintain being a gentleman
Life in the Past/History: Shadowwalkers, rare as they are do exist. There is normally only one or two in a generation, passing on the knowledge to the next generation. Historically they are silent guardians, protecting the realm of light that everyone calls home and the shadow realm, a realm of darkness and perpetual endless rain. Over time the two realms begin to converge and collide. One of the shadowwalkers responsibilities is to prevent this from wiping out both realms.
Darrin is one of four known shadowwalkers in his generation, the second to develop his abilities. When the first shadowwalker was slain defending the light realm, the other shadowwalkers had little choice but to step up. Once the realms had been saved, a new problem was born. The realm intersection had spread the shadows taint across dozens of places across the world, creating hundreds if not thousands of tainted souls. Some would show little to no evidence of the taint, beyond darker behaviour and moods. Others suffered worse fates, mutating and developing unnatural features and abilities.
Following the realm intersection, Darrin and the other shadowwalkers were drawn into the shadow realm and spent months there on their own trying to stabilise the realm and prevent such a disaster from happening again. After months of hard work and small victories, the shadow realm was once again stable enough to be left by the three remaining shadowwalkers
Setting out across the world upon their return, the remaining shadowwalkers sought to help the world and cleanse the taint. Darrin has travelled across countries as a silent traveller seeking out some of there tainted souls to heal and cleanse. A decade of doing that has seen Darrin burn out and for the moment simply does not have the interest in cleansing any more tainted souls. Now he has arrived in Atlanta, seeking a break and a fresh start
Any Special Notes or Abilities: Darrin has the following abilities just like all the shadowwalkers, as well as the following equipment.
He has the ability to cross between the two realms through the use of a shadow doorway, which he can create through any shadow large enough to act as a tunnel. So small shadows, such as the shadow of a basketball etc cannot be used to create doorways, whilst larger shadows – such as those created by a small car can be used to create a doorway. He can also ferry other people across although it is taxing and requires physical contact, but its not always successful
All shadowwalkers have the ability to manipulate and draw shadows to them to use as a tool to escape or to create doorways between the realms.
By crossing between realms and then crossing back, Darrin is able to cover considerable distances and as a result of the distorted time between realms it can appear to be a form of teleportation when viewed solely from the perspective of those in the light realm.
Darrin also carries a blade with him forged from shards of one of the original shadow blades, this blade allows Darrin to draw out the shadow taint or infuse it into a body at will. Just on a foot long, the blade is very simple and lacking in ornate detail. Razor sharp and able to be wielded in a moments notice, the blade has served him well in the past.
