Personal File:
Name: Shawn Darrow
(Side note: Goes by the name of “Shadow” since experimentation due to accidental memory loss. Believed to have pieced together few remembered letters of former name to create a new one.)
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Physical Description:
• Hair: Spiky/Black/Long
• Eyes: Sepia/Light Brown
• Skin: Dark Tan

Personality:
• Before: Rebellious, Daredevil, Trouble-maker, Prankster, Hooligan, Reckless, Self-confident
• After: Depressed, Lonely, Sarcastic, Passive, Self-loathing, Intimidated, increasingly Obedient, though occasionally somewhat Defiant. (Side note: Personal defiance does not appear to be too much of a problem. Subject is predicted to discard all resistance over time.)
History:
(Side note: Following information of subject’s personal history before arrival on island has not been confirmed. Childhood friend not yet found. Info was gathered during interrogation of subject using Hypnosis. Subject is unaware of knowledge gathered and is believed to have forgotten personal history since experimentation due to accidental memory loss.)
Shawn Darrow had no home since before he could remember except for the back alleys and deserted warehouses of Goldenrod City. He lived with a poverty-stricken family, consisting of a father and a mother, but no known siblings. Mother was believed to have died due to pollution of poison pokemon that shared the same territory as the residing family. Pokemon noted to have lived in company of subject’s family are Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Misdreavus, Grimer, Muck, Koffing, and Weezing. Widowed father, devastated by wife’s death and left to parent a toddler alone decided to seek better fortunes elsewhere. The man was never reported to have returned to collect his abandoned child.
A younger boy whose name remains unknown befriended Shawn when he was around 12. Subject would only refer to this friend as ‘Flare’. No such ‘Flare’ has been recorded or found living in the city of Goldenrod, and his identity remains anonymous. It is uncertain whether ‘Flare’ also lived a homeless life on the streets. Subject only states that ‘Flare’ visited every Saturday to play and left the following Sunday morning. In between such times, ‘Flare’ visited subject as well, but these were much more random events. Having lived around pokemon all his life, Shawn was naturally used to their presence, but seemed to avoid them when he could, perhaps due to his mother’s death. Never having enough to purchase any sort of pokeballs for himself, subject was never noted to be a pokemon trainer, and if ‘Flare’ was, the subject didn’t know. ‘Flare’ never seemed to have pokemon or pokeballs with him. Subject had to be described pokeballs during interrogation, making it evident he had little contact with such devices.
Shawn didn’t seem to have any particular interest in pokemon training. It is unknown just how much knowledge he had of pokemon other than the poison and ghost types that dwelled in most of the places he explored and lived. He didn’t seem to mind them much, so long as they were a reasonable distance away. An incident changed his outlook, however, late one night in his dark alleyway. A Haunter had been following him for sometime, hiding in the darkness until Shawn stepped into the dim light of an old street lamp and noticed its shadow. As he turned around in curiosity, the Haunter, realizing it had been detected, licked him. Subject described feeling a strange sensation and that he had trouble thinking straight for a time. It was unclear whether the pokemon had licked him as a gesture of friendship, a means of defense, or as an attack. Confused by the Lick technique, Shawn, desperate to get away in the case the Haunter was hostile, stumbled across the deserted road and into what he presumed was an old, dilapidated abandoned warehouse. This may have been the Haunter’s doing, as such pokemon are known for casting illusions to play tricks on the unwary. In truth, the warehouse was clearly active and at the time having boxes moved for shipment; a shipment that was headed to the Cronus(/Team Rocket) Research Labs.
The boy explained that Flare had once warned him Ghost pokemon had a habit of sneaking up behind people and sucking away their souls. Frightened and still suffering from confusion, Shawn ran behind some boxes, hoping to hide from the Haunter. This plan did not go well, and soon after he heard the pokemon laughing its name as it seeped through a box to appear next to him, startling him considerably. Again, Shawn turned to dash away, but this time the pokemon held his gaze and he found he was unable to break eye-contact. Before he knew it, the Haunter’s hypnotic voice had caused his eye-lids to droop until he went limp and fell back against a box, fully asleep.
By the time the subject awoke, Shawn had already made it to the island along with the shipment. The Haunter was there with him. For what reason it decided to come along for the journey is unknown. This time, the boy got up and took off running across the unfamiliar stretch of beach, glancing back every so often to look behind him. There was no sign of the Haunter pursing, but the men unloading the ship looked up at him in surprise and one of them, he mentioned, had attempted to contact someone using some sort of radio. A stowaway boy of about 15 or 16 was reported running loose on the island with a Haunter.
With this knowledge, a few people from the Cronus Research Labs were quickly dispatched and retrieved both pokemon and boy in a few hours. Shawn struggled quite a bit and put up a good fight, nearly managing to escape, but gave up resistance after being informed he was on an island and had no where to escape to. The Haunter was assumed to be the subject’s pokemon until the subject was hypnotized and interrogated. After which, the Cronus Research Labs, fearing the boy already knew too much, decided to use him for a more recent experiment inspired by the Haunter, which were scarce on the island. Immediately, the subject was sent down to the labs for testing to see if a person could be, in fact, merged with a ghost pokemon.
Conclusion: Experiment was a failure. Ghost pokemon minds’ proved too unstable and incomprehensible to mix well with proper human intellect. Subject was likely to go insane during experimentation, but by partial accident had memory erased. In a split second decision, scientists wiped subject’s mind in an effort to preserve him for further study. This was because although the unsuccessful mind fusion was a huge disappointment, subject’s physical body structure was altered dramatically, allowing subject to pass through walls and though no evidence is found yet, perhaps even create illusions.
((Oh, what's this? You found a secret photo paper-cliped to the documents! twisted ))
Side effects include detached wrists, purplish skin that varies in intangibility depending on subject’s will, and total loss of body below the torso. Red eyes and unusually pointed, white teeth seem to attribute to the pokemon Gengar, even though strictly Haunter DNA was used. Cronus Research Labs predicts to be due to the fact that Haunter evolves during the event of being traded, and though it is unsure what triggers this event in the pokemon, the subject’s partial transformation is thought to have been caused by the ‘trading’ of minds before memory was erased and changes to Gengar DNA ceased. Subject is also unable to sleep by natural means, as mind is unable to consentrate on tangibility when unconcious and will sink through everything unless special intangibility barriers are used to confine him. However, sleep does not seem necessary for subject, unlike a normal human.
Subject has been more difficult to study as of late, being conscious of physical appearance and unwilling to use powers for much more than occasional pranks. He has not been deemed a real threat to the Labs, as subject seems to be far too ignorant to have thoughts on leaving the island. With his mind wiped, he is still struggling to understand and though he seems to remember a few bits and pieces of his past, it is unsure, even doubtful if he will ever fully recover. From the few letters he seems to recall from his past name, he has created an appropriate new one: Shadow.

. razz okemon Information:.
#093 - Haunter
Type: Ghost/Poison
Ability: Levitate
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 0.2 lbs.
Pokemon Info: Haunter is considered in the Pokédex to be a 'gas type' pokémon, because of the overall structure of his body. Because of its ability to slip through block walls, Haunter is said to be from another dimension. They seem to eat by first paralyzing their opponent with Lick, then draining a bit of their life force, although it's possible they may eat other food as well, such as things like pokéblocks. It is also said to eat people's dreams by going inside them and scaring them to death.
If you get the feeling of being watched in total darkness when no one is around, Haunter is there. In total darkness, where nothing is visible, it lurks, silently stalking its next victim. Its tongue is made of gas, yet by licking, it can sap its victim's life. It causes shaking that will not stop until the victim's demise. Therefore, if one beckons you, you must never approach it. On rare occasions, after a windy night, a Haunter may be seen trapped in the day's shadows.
Appearence: The name Haunter literally means 'one that haunts'--exactly what this Pokémon is. Haunter takes the shape of an angular floating face with disembodied hands. It has a sinister look, complete with fangs and claws. Due to Haunter being of a ghost nature, it is completely immune to many basic fighting attacks, as well as normal attacks.
Traits shared with the pokemon Gengar: Gengar is a bipedal, purple entity with red eyes, big pointy ears, and it always wears an unsettling smile, which, along with stubby hands and legs, makes it look like a gremlin at times. Gengar also possesses a short tail and spikes on its back. Despite its somewhat rough outline, each individual Gengar has a consistent shape. Gengar often has a rather sinister personality, especially when in the wild.
Like a Gengar, Shadow has red eyes and an unsettling grin, but his ears are covered by his spiked hair and not as noticable as Gengar's. Also, Shadow's body structure is closer to that of a Haunter than a Gengar, as it is made up of gas and no consitent shape. His personality isn't exactly sinister, but its best to be wary of him. there's not telling what he'll do, and it's hard to say who he considers friend or foe.

.:A Little Background:.Shawn Darrow is based on an original character of mine. 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.
Curious to find out more about Shadow and his story?- Go here to Pokemorph Island -The Role Play's still going and we also have a guild you're welcome to join! Check it out, and see for yourself!
