Shadow
History
In the bloody history of Asia, in particular Japan, there was not so
much a man feared as the ninja. dark and cunning assassins, peaceful
spies, or even fierce warriors. All of these legends were at one point
true, and Kage or Shadow is proof of that, born in the fifteenth century
he was one of the ninja that learned and unlocked the mysteries of the
Shinobi. However within Kage he had not only gained a type of ultimate
power, but also had unleashed an inner devil within his soul. It was
when he faced his demise at the hands of a skilled Samurai did this
darkness emerge. And it called itself Garu or Fury. Shadow knew that
if he did not contain Fury that this devil like manifestation of himself
would destroy anything in it’s path. Thus he locked himself in
spiritual combat with Fury for six centuries. Only when his spirit began
to remanifest his body, was their battle interrupted. Forming a truce
with this seemingly evil part of him Shadow and Fury decided to work
in cooperation and according to their fate they would one day rejoin
into one with only one as the dominant personality.
Special Abilities
Shadow has the mystic abilities of the ninja, able to vanish into thin
air, teleport, and perform a host of other supernatural abilities. Shadow
uses these abilities to deceive and misdirect his opponent. Since he
is technically dead most of his corporal form is spiritual energy with
some substance. He is skilled in the art of hand to hand and weapons
mastery. His powers also allow him to perform feats of speed and dexterity
that are nearly impossible, yet he can and has been outdone on several
occasions. At anytime Shadow may summon up his Fury personality which
has different abilities and quirks and although malignant in nature
will do what Shadow dictates to him out of their agreement.
Equipment
Shadow carries a variety of weapons that are particular to the ninja
trade, however the supply of his equipment seems to be unlimited as
he actually summons up the equipment he needs from his spiritual memory,
this equipment can be used by Shadow only.
