History
Theme Song: Awoken

Silas was born into a mining colony, a prisoner mining colony, deep beneath the surface where there was no light save the light that was man-made. Any ores that were found were taken immediately, though there was no objective to the mining. Over the years in the darkness, Silas had discovered how to mix certain dusts together to create a hallucinogen, one that had been used a few times on guards in attempts to escape. The attempts had been failed though and he had been sent to the lowest and darkest levels of the mine, where he had discovered a strange gem. Whenever he had shone a light on it, the light was absorbed into the gem. When he picked it up, it instantly fused with his soul, binding to him. With Umbra magic flowing through him, all the miners and the guards were killed in the shock-wave, their fear of Silas' new powers of darkness sending their souls into the gem. It was never explained why those that died in fear near Silas had their souls absorbed into the gem. Silas soon discovered he could switch his vision into negative, and used that to find his way out of the eternally dark caverns. When he emerged, he was horribly transformed, his skin had become a slate grey, his face turned into a nightmare, and whenever he spoke, what came out was the disembodied echoes of the thousands who died that day, and to this day the voices of those he slays joins the others. With every step he took, darkness seeped out from under his feet in a shadowy smoke. Soon after he came out, he had been summoned to the Shadow Realm, and it was there he learned the magic of the umbramancer, as well as winning the Light's Bane sword in a tournament. He returned to the Mortal Realm, and in an attempt to make amends for what happened in the mine, he went on a quest of redemption. Unfortunately, he could never complete this because no one would approach him, and those he came to often ran in fear of what nightmares this creature could throw upon them. Silas hides his disfigured body with a dark cloak, and wears a cloth across his mouth.

First, the realm does exist. It is under the rule of Semyaza, who would be your king/ruler should you make this character. I will be looking at this more once I return from work. But I think you should PM Korogra Tetsujin about staying in his realm and what your place in it would be as well.

Awesome! Thanks ^^

A.
Shadow Sphere: Rule number one. All shadows can be pierced by light. Sunlight, lamp light, holy light, does not matter. Even the Wraith King's power can be pierced by normal light. Shrink the sphere. Six hundred feet is a bit much.

B.
Ethereal This would only negate physical attacks, not including attacks from light based sources. Magic attacks, telepathy, and a few other attacks would still manage to work against this form.

C.
Fear Dust: This would be a piece of technology, not a power. It only works if inhaled, and it won't incapacitate a person unless they give into the nightmares.

D.
Shadow Manipulation The rule here would cover all of your shadow/wraith wielding abilities. You can summon them from the Wraith realm, not a Void, to be used against enemies. They are not physical, so their attacks would only attack the enemy's shadow. You can possess people, but only if they have no mental or magical protection of some sort, and only for short periods (say 3 posts tops) at a time. You cannot have more than ten shadow wraiths on the plane at a time.

E.
Black Fire: In using this, describe it as either 'cold fire' or just fire that originates from the Wraith Realm.

F.
Animation and Gravity Nix this. It has nothing to do with the rest of your powers, and manipulating gravity is close to godmodding.

G.
Weakness{s} You need to have 'light' in general as a weakness. If it works on the King, it works on you. Also list the weaknesses of your Ethereal form.

Tech:
Dust Again, move the dust here.
Bane: Why does he have this weapon? What is the importance of it? And light is not absorbed by shadow....so it can look like it absorbs it, but really does not.
Gloves Works for me, as long as they are not unbreakable.

Aside from what Twilit noted...

This is much better.

Yes, you've heard correctly; this is a better improvement from the last two profiles, especially with the history in my personal opinion. The story flows coherently, and it reflects in his personality, not to mention that it shows the detail and effort put into it. And trust me, you haven't seen a novel when it comes to the character's history. Ask some of the people in the Crew and above. xd

The main (and only) issues are the powers, weaknesses, and tech. Plus, make sure you PM Korogra Tetsujin (if you haven't yet) about staying in his realm and any occupations he may have for you. Once again, follow Twilit's advice, fix the bugs, and you should be ready for approval after then.

And yes, no uber-long list from me this time.

This is actually a pretty decently thought out character. The only thing I suggest is defining his personality just a bit more. All you put was "Very sullen," and while this may be true in some cases, there's got to be other emotions he has. He's not Kristen Stewart, is he? God, I hope not. And I only say this because it'll help you out later on, when you're trying to get into character development and all that fun stuff. But anyway, yeah. A lot better than those jokes you were throwing at us before. Kudos to you, sir.

lol those two "jokes" were a result in me being bored of waiting and looking for something to pass the time. I wasn't expecting them to be approved, but would have been excited if they were. Yeah this character was definitely stepped up, seeing as how I actually planned on using. And by the way, I added to the personality, so all that should be left is for someone to stamp approval on him.

Well, there doesn't seem to be anything else to fix on the profile. Unless there are no objections from anyone else, I (or Twilit) will go ahead and approve the profile.
