fc; shin - amnesia [i think] name; holmes smith.
nickname; 'sherlock'.
gender; cismale.
age; twenty-five.
affiliation; the shroud [arkam].
orientation; homoflexible.
crush; n/a.
love interest; tba.
relationships; nada.
power; shadows. [shadow manipulation] sherlocks connects deeply with the shadows, allowing him to manipulate them as he wishes. he can solidify the darkness, provided he has a source. sherlock can travel through the shadows, using them as as a mode of transportation, and is shown to have the ability to conceal himself, and other within their cool grip. his own shadow moves on it's own accordance, and is shown to be able to interact with the physical world at intervals. as his presence has expanded, the shadows around him - not just his own - have begun to move on their own as well. however, he is in denial of this, claiming to be in control. his power works best in the daytime, when there are shadows to be sighted. regardless, his shadow remains with the man always.
curse; paranoia. his abilities cloud his judgement, as time passes sherlock's essence is gradually absorbed into the shadows themselves. as a result, he's lost pieces of who he was- his memory fractured. the male constantly looks over his shoulder, and it isn't uncommon for him to see movements behind him. [this is often the shadows, the ones that stir without his knowledge.] it's common for him to lob wild accusations around, of assassins attempting to kill him. gradually he'll lose all of his sanity, and indeed, is on the verve of losing it at times.
personality; once a rather intelligent and levelheaded mind, holmes has since lost much of that persona. he was a very chatty person, once upon a time, about ten years back. willing to help the world, and in turn hope to be helped. he was an optimistic fool, essentially. but as the years passed, sherlock retreated into himself, becoming more and more seclusive. now much of his time is spent all on his lonesome, often spent talking to his shadow or just ranting at random things. he's on the verge of instability, constantly shaking. his eyes dart about the room, always on search for hidden traps. despite his condition, he remains a very observant fellow, and is sensitive to the happenings of the world around him. it is this alertness that's saved his life on many the occasion, detecting traps and hidden killers before they were even aware he knew. despite this, he's lost that aura of calmness. his dark pupils bear no trust for his comrades, and he'll constantly accuse them of outrageous feats. sherlock controls his moods through use of medicine, using herbs and plants to create herbal remedies that soothe him to an extent. regardless, while these teas do calm him, little things can send him over the edge. he rarely sleeps.
skills; vast knowledge when it comes to herbs, capable of crafting advanced potions capable of putting target to sleep, and soothing the nerves. able to create poisons. [let's be honest, if someone poisons him, it's probably gonna be from his own stash.] capable lockpicker, skilled in hand-to-hand combat.
weapons; carries on him a short knife, in addition to dozens upon dozens of hand-crafted darts tipped with various feathers. depending on the type and colour of the feather correlates to the poison used.
other; hope this is okay?
