Appearance: Seth Mayvine is pale skinned and skinny looking, and although he doesn't look it, he's surprisingly strong. Seth has crudely died his short straight hair, that is almost all black save for the red tips all over. His eyes as earlier described have black irises with small flecks of red, underneath them are two unique tattoos that are a series of lines and/ or circles. Seth wears simple black clothing that bears resemblance to the classic ninja outfit, a black sleeveless shirt, loose slightly puffed out pants and black tabis and black hard leather sandals. He also wears a long black glove that contains many seals on the inside, as well as the glove, Seth has a belt on his waist which holds the sheaths for his twin daggers and another belt strapped around his chest from the left shoulder to the right of his upper torso, which has the sheath to his sword, he also has a pair of welding goggles that hang around his neck.

Weapons: Seth carries with him at all times 3 weapons:

The Short Sword: Grave
Grave is a short sword forged by the angels of the heavens to be used as a grave marker for Mayvine Shaidwin, the first of the fallen to come to the aid of the humans in Seth's universe. It's total length is 3 feet, made up of a 2 feet 3 inches long blade that's 3 inches wide and a quarter inch thick. The rest of Grave is made up by the guard which is 3 inches long, 4 inches wide and and inch thick, which is followed by the grip which is 5 inches long, the last inch of the blade is made up by the pommel.

The Twin Daggers: Misery and Torment
Misery and Torment were both forged by Seth through secret techniques passed down from many generations, assumed they originated from Mayvine Shaidwin. The twin daggers are both a 1 foot long, 6 inches of blade that's an inch wide and quarter of an inch thick, and six inches of grip, they have almost no guard and almost no pommel. They are extremely aerodynamic and can be tossed like a throwing knives.

Powers:
Seth Mayvine's one and only true power is the ability to manipulate and control his "shadow." His shadow isn't exactly like any other (well technically it isn't his shadow, he doesn't really have one), it's a dark smokey mass of his mana that follows him, loosely clinging to his body and gathering mostly at his feet. The shadow can be used to affect the world around Seth as well as him self. Common ways of use include:
-sliding on the shadow as though it were like a sheet of ice
-adding power to his feet as he runs and jumps
-a wall to slow or stop attacks
-adding a cutting affect to unarmed attacks
-increasing the range of blade strikes with a cutting wave
-a long whip like projection to strike, grab and deflect weak attacks

Transformations/Alter Egos/ Unleashes, Etc:
Seth Is capable of unleashing his full potential by unleashing the power of his core, something similar to the heart, which pumps mana in, out and throughout his body. His core, named The Burning Core because his shadow no longer seems like a smokey presence that surrounds him, but looks more like a blazing fire that engulfs his body. While The Burning Core is active, his ability to control his shadow increases, allowing him to make it fully physical and much more dangerous. He also becomes stronger as The Burning Core increases the rate Seth's body intakes mana from the world around him

Also, inside Seth's left arm is a nasty symbiotic demon that calls it's self Viryl the Corrupter. Normally Viryl is asleep because of the seals on the inside of Seth's glove but, if it were to be removed, Viryl will awaken and partially take control of Seth. Viryl only wishes to see the total corruption of his host, and the only way to do that is to remain awake for over a week's time. Viryl only has one unique power that can only be fully accessed when he is awake, the ability to project mana shells, which a strong force fields of mana that he can shape at his will.

Bio:
Seth Mayvine is only son of Gerrard and Mary Mayvine, both of which are deceased. He is eternally bonded to a girl from his universe named Rose Grayson who's life he saved while they were children by fusing half of his soul into her dying body, keeping the remnants of her soul anchored to her. While Gerrard was still alive, he taught Seth how to fight, and the basics of using his shadow.

Special/Unique Abilities or Knowledge:
Even though Seth is technically human, he isn't built like one, his body is more efficient in energy use, waste removal, oxygen intake, etc... His skeletal structure is also different, there's a super dense layer of bone that surrounds the compact bone, adding structural strength and support. His muscles are also much more efficient and powerful then a regular human. His eyes are extremely light sensitive, and has to wear his welding goggles on when out in the sun. Also because Seth's blood is saturated with mana, it acts like a an instant healing solution to anyone other then Seth. Another unique ability of Seth's is a natural sixth sense that he possesses, allowing him to see large concentrations of mana. Last but definitely not least, Seth is one of the Exalted, meaning his body naturally absorbs ambient mana from the world around him.

On a side note, when refereeing to mana, it best translates to magic or energy.
