A. PERSONALITY:-resourceful-
Shadow is brilliant, he always has a back-up plan. Whether its a gadget quite literally up his sleeve during a fight or final verbal blow to win a argument no matter how its going on their side. He always has that last crushing, nigh unbeatable last resort. And on another side, he always hears about things, when something happens Shadow has the network of people he needs for the news to reach his ears before just about anyone else.
-proud-
Shadow knows he's a genius, he knows that he can win a argument with just about anyone, Capital or not. But its about as much of a flaw as it is a trait. He looks at people a lot like you look at insects. Ignorant. Simple minded. Insignificant. Its made him enemies and its made him underestimate people. Its one of the things that would be reasonable to worry about it getting him killed. But its also a advantage to Shadow, he never underestimates himself, never lets a insult get to him. As he says, insults are for the insecure and the inferior.
-unfaithful-
Faith, passion, loyalty, Shadow doesn't have time for it. He has relationships, flings with people he likes, but it never lasts more than a week before he gets bored and discards the person. And he doesn't lie about it, he doesn't make confessions of love or loyalty, if they asked, he'd be honest. He'd tell them that he didn't love them. As a result, he's known as a heart breaker, but the occasional intuitive person who understands will disagree. They'll just call him honest. Any relationship Shadow has is either for the sex or because the person understands and still isn't going to give up, because the person just wants to take care of him. Either way, it never lasts more than two weeks at the most.
-logical-
There are points in logic where it makes you look heartless. Shadow is at that point. You know that position where the hero has to choice between a best friend, parent, lover or the world? Shadow is the guy who doesn't even hesitate to walk out and save the world. Regardless of whoever it is he cares about. He sees things in the bigger picture, a friend, parent or lover is one person. One person out of over a million, and so, he doesn't hesitate to let them die in place of the greater number of people. For that same reason, Shadow never grieves. Whenever he cares about someone he accepts that they are going to die, and when it happens, it barely even effects him.
-materialistic-
Shadow sees small trinkets, like a ring, a jewel, a figurine as a memory. You search his pockets you never know what your going to find, a small jewel that belonged to a past lover that actually understood him, a piece of glass that marks a event in his life. But the thing he likes about it simple, every time you look at it you can have a total recall of every detail of whatever memory it represents, but if something changes and that memory starts to hurt you, you can just throw it away and never be bothered again. Basically, its like his replacement of fond memories, something that can be discarded but only pops up when you want to pull it out and look at it.
-intense-
Shadow is kind of black and white when it comes to focus. When he's busy and thinking, anything that gets in the way is a annoyance and something that can be thrown out without regard. No matter what it is, a friend or a lover or simply a object or animal. If it disrupts his focus its unimportant, and expendable. Everything is like that for him, it doesn't matter if your from the Capital, you will be thrown out if you disturb his work. Forcibly if required, doesn't make a difference to him, other than that it distracts him further if he has to literally throw you out. But he will if you don't go willingly.
-dangerous-
Like he is with focus, Shadow is peaceful as long as you don't anger him. Seems perfectly harmless, but if you give him a reason to fight, that changes completely. He has a dangerous, hard look in his eyes whenever he fights, something that makes you doubt whether it matters if your friend or foe. Its like a complete switch, every bit of him that dismisses you completely is gone, and suddenly your a object that needs removed. Doesn't matter if your a friend, lover or family, there is a abrupt line between friend and foe, you step over that and its like you were never anything else. And there is no going back.
-sarcastic-
When Shadow is annoyed, he has quite the wit. The kind of person that can make your mental breaks come to a screeching halt as you try and figure out if he actually just said that! He can fry your mind with a well placed line and find it nothing more than satisfying. Especially if your to busy thinking it over to notice or fight when he shoves you out the door and locks it behind you.
-vindictive-
Shadow isn't easy to anger. He'll bodily hurl you out of the room if your distracting him while working, but that isn't anger. Merely calculated frustration. When you actually get Shadow to hate you, he's not fun to toy with anymore. More the kind of person who rigs whatever gadget you have in your house to blow up next time you use it. And he's certainly in the position to do it. Shadow simply has a hatred of anyone who pushes him that far, anyone who can anger him that much is likely someone who deserves to have every electronic household object explode upon use.
-honest-
Shadow doesn't lie. About anything, big or small. You should never ask him a question unless you can handle the answer, because he isn't going to soften the blow or lie to save you any grief. He's just going to tell you, plain, blunt and simple. Another reason people call him heartless, tactless and cruel. But he always thinks that its better to know the truth than to have a deluded image of the world that will fade away at some point or another. Better to know the truth in time to ready yourself for it when you have to see it with your own eyes.
Ai. LIKES:
- Science Its something he can control, at the base of all things. Something that can create and destroy.
- Small trinkets Small things are easy, like memories in a bottle. But you can throw them away if they ever hurt you.
- Chaos Shadow sees chaos as a series of experiments, with order you only get calculated results; thus nothing new
- Intellectuals Shadow has no faith in the world. He thinks that ninety-nine point nine of the people in the world are stupid, so he loves to talk to a intellectual.
- Weapons He sees weapons like a highly tuned machine. Completely neutral in its intent but utterly lethal for whatever side its user is against. Like him.
Aii. DISLIKES:
- Authority Its something that tries to control him. Tell him what to do, tell him whats right. Its like a cage you can't even see.
- Distractions People, emotion, noise, doesn't matter. If it disturbs his concentration when he's working he hates it.
- Combat Only certain types. Shadow considers battle before things have been talked through the coward's way out. Fighting rather than facing the chance that your wrong.
- Untrained animals They're a distraction, they get in the middle of his work, they thrash important objects. Generally his worst nightmare.
- People Only most people. But those, Shadow sees as a distraction, something that gets in the way and damages his focus.
Aiii. STRENGTHS:
- Technology Shadow is a technological prodigy. He loves to work on things, give him the right tools and a well lit room and some silence and he'll give to a world-dominating weapon. Assuming he likes you.
- Genius Shadow is brilliant simple as that. His mind works like a scary mix between Sherlock Holmes, James Moriarty and Adolph Hitler. Whatever it takes to get the job done.
- Combat Despite his contemplative opinion of unnegotiated battle, Shadow is scary when he fights. Fast and lethal with a knife.
- Logical Shadow isn't going to hesitate to kill someone - even his closest friend - if it means saving someone who can do more good to the world. Cold, but logical.
Aiv. WEAKNESSES:
- Arrogant He looks down at the world, thinks of it like you would a ant mound. Thousands of pathetic, oblivious parasites utterly clueless of the bigger picture. And thus; underestimates people.
- Harsh Shadow makes enemies, he doesn't soften any blows and doesn't hesitate to speak his mind. If he thinks your an idiot, he's going to call you a idiot.
- Strength Shadow is extremely fast with his light build and self-training, but once he's trapped he's all but hopeless.... unless he has a trick up his sleeve. Literally.
- Detached He doesn't make friends, he doesn't make attachments, and sometimes that means that your going to be alone when you need someone the most.
Av. SECRETS/FEARS:
- Spiders
- Merinthophobia
A. FAMILY:
Father Jayden De Septem Hidis --- #42 --- Deceased
Mother Kamia De Septem Hidis --- #45 --- Deceased
B. HISTORY:Shadow Akantha De Septem Hidis, born to Jayden and Kamia De Septem Hidis. Shadow was born six years before the uprising, both of his parents were rebels in it. Kamia was one of District two's top girls, but she hated the Capital with a very good reason. The main one being that she lost her sister who had broken the laws and turned Avox. Jayden was in District 3, a wallpaper kind of guy. Someone that was only noticed when something in his lab blew up, a unnervingly frequent occurrence. They met wandering the unmarked territory of Panem, one thing led to another and the two were in love. Jayden and Kamia continued to meet in secret, and eventually, she became pregnant. Not being in Capital meant that no one cared about a scandal like unmarried pregnancy, they only cared if she continued her work. A year later, Shadow was born. The nurse that bore him called it a bad omen that he didn't cry, Kamia called it a sign. A sign that he would grow up to be just like her. From the very beginning, Shadow knew knives and bows better than people, courtesy of his anti-social mother. By the time he was four, he'd been found playing with his mother's unfinished or undistributed knives more times than she could count. Some people called him a dangerous child, some people called it signs of potential, Kamia rolled her eyes and continued working. But she wasn't necessarily a uncaring mother, merely just as intense and logical as he grew up to be. She could easily see where the world was going, and she knew that by the end of it, one of them was going to die at some point or another. Attachment was only going to make everything worse.
And in the end, her prediction came true. The uprising started six years after his birth, and Kamia threw herself right into the middle of it, slipping Shadow to someone who took him to District 3. With the people who truly fought, tooth and nail. She and Jayden were reunited, and the talented six year old finally met his father. By throwing one of his blunt, light caliber, two inch dart knives at him. Badly. Suspicious, harsh and cold, Jayden did not get the welcome he expected from his son. Shadow only trusted people he'd known his entire life, and he'd never even seen Jayden before. The rebellion continued, and within weeks, Jayden was killed. Kamia was as close to heart broken as someone as calculative as someone like her can get. So basically, she was angry. Time after time the Capital had taken something away from her, her sister, her lover, and that entire time, it had demanded that she forge the weapons that supplied its Peacekeepers. Kamia slipped away from the rest of the rebels and made her way towards Capital, she was taken down by the Peacekeepers before she reached her target. Shadow was left alone. The uprising was crushed down and District 13 whipped out shortly after that.
Shadow was content there, his mother's apathy to him meant that he wasn't dependent on her, and he grew up surrounded by the technology of district 3. Quiet is the only way to describe his life from then on. He didn't play with the other children, gave any adult that wasn't teaching him the cold shoulder, and learned with the rest, excelling in his knowledge of everything. Private schooling with his mother had gone a long ways. By the time Shadow was fifteen, he'd taken over his father's old lab and completely remade it. He wasn't a chip off the old block, he was a new block entirely. But the rebellion blood had never left him, nor had the hatred of Capital that his mother had instilled in him. But the Dark Days were over, and he was more than content to live with just his lab, Capital could do whatever it wanted as long as it had nothing to do with him.
C. RP SAMPLE:Shadow tapped his fingers restlessly against his leather coated thigh. The crescent moon arch under the trimmed nails had a crease of grease from the piece of technology that was frustrating him. That was pretty much the signature for anyone who worked here; dirty nails, clean technology. He was no exception. Shadow rolled his silver blue eyes, pushing himself away from the wall with a elegant roll of his shoulders. People had learned to stay away from his work shop long ago, he just wasn't a good conservationist and if you disrupted his concentration... it hardly mattered if the door was open or shut. You were going out it. The slim figure strode over to the automobile that had been troubling him, motor sputtered whenever it started, gas was fine, oil freshly changed, and he was not in the mood to tear it apart and fix it. Shadow's whip-cord muscles rippled as he ran a hand over the metallic surface. He loved the simplicity of modern inventions. People were confusing even to his mind, emotional was a constant, but some of them were bipolar, ADHD, OCD, DID. Technology was much easier, you could trust it. Sometimes it would break down but it could always be fixed if you had the right tools. People were different. People could try and kill you, want to hurt you, and over half the time, even the best of the world's minds could do anything to help them.
Shadow shook his head, dismissing the philosophical thoughts that always seemed to come up and plague him. They weren't something like a memory, that could be captured in a single, tiny object to appear only when desired. They were just everywhere, every time he thought they were waiting on the wing with some comment that always made him want to scream. The world wasn't something he wanted to spend his time unraveling. Nor the minds of the people who inhabited it. Blissfully ignorant of the bigger picture, wanting only to survive until the next day and keep family, friends and lovers close. Parasite that never seemed to be able to decide between someone they loved and someone who could do so much more good to the world. The youth turned his silver blue eyes to the door, the sardonic look silently inviting it to open. But the steel handle didn't turn. With a sigh that was more exasperated than anything else, Shadow turned back to the engine that lay exposed before him. Its mass of wires, tubes and contraptions would be nothing more than a confusing mess to anyone else. To him it was simple a show of brilliance. Every piece of it having one use or another, a complete riddle to anyone who didn't know it from front to back. Rather like him in a way.
