THREE VERSIONS (with different personalities for each):
Shawn as a human
(Experiment-changing Shawn with partial transformation into Shadow can be in here too)
Shadow as a Rocket Pokemorph
Shadow enlightened (recalls his memory, no longer a Rocket, can maintain a human appearance through ghost illusion techniques, can also take on the appearance of a partially evolved Haunter.)

Gengar traits (although he's mainly a Haunter)
- red eyes
- sharp, white teeth
- Hair/back spikes...? Blended with Haunter spikes

As a Pokemorph, Shadow's character has been altered to fit the shop. As opposed to the Pokemorph Island Rp I first created him for, the term 'Pokemorph', though technically the same, is being reverted to 'Anthros' in the shop. Also, instead of Team Rocket doing the research for their own selfish purposes, it is the research lab Cronus that now does the experimenting. However, despite the differences, Shadow will remain very much the same in person, only in a slightly different situation. His personal file with his past history in the Cronus lab could very well be the same in Team Rocket's records. Who knows? Perhaps the two are interlinked somehow. After all...aren't all the experiments being conducted on a secret isle in the middle of the ocean?

Original Charater's Profile:

Name: Shadow

Age: 16

Appearance: He has a long black coat with R marked on the sleeves and the bottom. He also wears long dark jeans. His hands are detatched from the rest of him and no one has ever seen his whole self under the coat. They only have to assume he has legs and feet hidden under his baggy jeans. But perhaps he doesn't...he is, after all, a ghost pokemon morph.

Hometown: Unknown. Created on Pokemorph Island by Rockets. Memory lost.

Personality: Shadow's history has taken its toll on him. He no longer remembers who he once was or how he came to be. His memories were wiped thanks to the Rockets. He tends to be sarcastic and witty, lashing out at those who seek to use him. He knows its hopeless. Most of the time he's too depressed to do anything but follow orders. He's been through a lot of pain and anguish, physically, mentally, and emotionally. What's left of him is a broken spirit; a ghost. It's a struggle for him sometimes to covince himself he's not nothing, and fears the day when he will fail and disappear forever.

Background: His story is a sad one, and though he may seem sarcastic and bad tempered on the outside, he's pretty soft hearted once you get to know him. Shadow was a prankster in the Rocket Base halls, and likes to sneak up on others. He despises what he is, and wishes he were human again. No one is quite sure why he joined he rockets. Perhaps he was a coward, or perhaps he had the hope he would somehow be able to be human again one day. He considers himself a freak.

It was too risky to let him go on missions as he could have easily escaped, and even as his time as a hall monitor, he was rumored to have let other captured morphs escape.

Likes: "Hard to say...what's there left in the world to like for someone like me?"

Dislikes: Rockets. Being a pokemorph. Himself. His memory loss. Being told what to do and treated like nothing more than a piece of property/a slave. Most of all: what he is under his clothes. A freak.

Occupation: Rocket hall monitor.

Good/Bad: Neutral. Shadow isn't one-sided. He seeks a purpose of his own. For now, he only wants to escape his predicament and hasn't bothered trying to sort out right and wrong in his scrambled mind.

Other Info: Painful for inexperienced pokemorphs to use their powers, but as he was force trained by the Rockets, he has somewhat of an advantage. aside from the ability to become intangible and do things like slip through walls, his attacks include

• Lick
• Shadow Ball
• Hypnosis
• Dream Eater

For some reason, though he is marked as a hauntermorph, he looks like a cross between a haunter and a gengar. This strange apearence is thought to have had something to do with what happened in the lab, as haunter only evolve when traded, but no one really knows what happened, and those who do keep quiet about it. Shadow was a failed experiment, cosidered worthless despite his powers, because they would only be useful if he were willingly loyal.
