Shade (Character)

Shade is a member of the Assassin’s Corp, a very secretive organization that only accepts the most promising killers of their age. Unlike most of the other assassins, something doesn’t add up about his reasons for wanting to do it. Rather than greed and the love of the power it brings, he does it more out of his general shyness and distrust of most beings. He keeps a detailed list of who he plans on killing and who will follow in his twisted secrecy.

Appearance
Shade's appearance is very dark, perfect for a killer. He has dark blue almost black hair, and red eyes. Over his right eye is a scar. Shade wears all purple with black underneath, except at the shoulders, where there is nothing but the straps holding his sleeves to his shirt. He wears a purple cape, tattered at the edges, and a worn out, and oddly tear stained scarf.

Personality
Shade, as befitting someone of his occupation, is quiet and withdrawn. During the few times he has interacted with other beings he has said little to nothing beyond the required polite notions, albeit he did get flustered and embarrassed quickly, suggesting that his chosen profession was rather a personality choice than a money based one. When approched by anyone, he begins stuttering and tripping over his words, hence he keeps from speaking until he can control the flow of his words, something that takes a few moments. Once he can speak however, he tries to remain polite and in control, not wanting to slip up and reveal classified information on targets.

Equipment
Throwing Knives: As a member of the Assassin’s Corp, Shade carries deadly blades that he can toss with dead on accuracy. In order to hide them, he stows customized sheaths in his sleeves that dispense them on command.

Katana: Because knives are not made for close range combat, Shade carries a katana blade that is laced with a powerful neurotoxin that numbs the body of whomever is cut. Shade mentions that the cost of both the toxin and the antidote together cost around two platinum coins because of the rarity of the required items and the difficulty of mixing them without succumbing to the effects of the venomous gasses put off by both during the cooking process.
