III. PERSONALITY

Personality: He was never a man that liked to be around people, the shadows around him kept him company, he saw them as living things, beings that were stronger then humans, once he found out he could use the shadows, become them, he felt like a god. Once he got the hang of it he learned something else, the look that people had just before they died, that beautifull look, it made his heart pounce with joy, yes, it was a true pleasure, that is also why he sought people that would encourage him to continue, to get stronger and perhaps he could one day lead them like minions, little pupets of the shadow master, the black knight himself.

Though, while all of that was amusing and fun, whenever he actually liked a person not a word got out right, it was as if the world was stopping him, as if the shadows wanted to keep him, he hated it, yet loved it, a conflict between himself and the shadow that is part of him, he would never split with it, he would always see it as part of him, part of the world, one day he could darken the sky forever, a shadow that he would become, a shadow to consume all.

• Bad Reputation (-1):[Black Knight, this name he got while murdering the people in his village.] You have a reputation that angers or frightens people. Examples include being unlucky, petty, or cruel. The rep may or may not be accurate, but in either case, word travels faster than you do.
  Explanation: You can't communicate easily with non player characters. Somehow they've heard of you and the things they've heard weren't too good.
  
• Cruel (-1): You have a sadistic streak that causes you to perform acts of cruelty for no good reason. Of course, this doesn't endear you to others. Most times you are prudent enough to carry out your cruelties on those under your thumb, rather than those you see as equals. However, you carry a constant social stigma, as rumors have their way of getting around.
  Explanation: You must perform an act of cruelty one out of five posts.

• Dark Secret (-1):[Creation of the Black Knight] You have some sort of secret that, if revealed, would make you an outcast amongst your society and companions. While this secret is on your mind at all times, it will come up in topics only once in a while, but when it does, watch out!

• Derangement/Insanity (-3): Due to circumstances beyond your control, you are permanently insane. You may have a congenital brain disorder, or perhaps you saw something mortals were never intended to lay eyes upon, and it drove you mad. Choose a Derangement/Insanity for your character from the lists below. Though the list is by no means exhaustive, the following options are ones that have been presented in game terms and that have definable--and most times numerical--penalties.
  -Compulsions: [In his case he has to lick his lips everytime before he says something] The character insists on performing ritual actions, such as touching a doorway at left, right, and top before passing through it. Though she may agree that the actions are senseless, the need to perform them is overpowering.
  
• Envious (-1): Everyone else seems to have it better than you do. They have more money, better toys, and a prettier wife. You tend to get envious over the smallest things.

  Explanation: You must act envious at least one out of five posts.
  
• Shy (-1): You are distinctly ill at ease when dealing with people, and you try to avoid social situations whenever possible. When you become the center of attention you freeze. Don't expect to make any public speeches.

• Judgmental (-1): You form opinions quickly and change them very slowly. You also have a tendency to judge people on their appearance.

  Explanation: You must act very disgusted and displeased when your dislike comes into play.  [Users of light magic are enemies, no matter whom]
  
• Intolerance (-1): You have an irrational dislike of a certain thing. It may be an animal, a class of person, a situation, or just about anything at all. Note that some dislikes may be too trivial or ridiculous to count--a dislike of Bavarian-crème-filled donuts or mechanical pencils, for example, has no real dramatic value and will not be allowed.
  Explanation: You must act very disgusted and displeased when your dislike comes into play. [People that are weaker then him, he refuses to even talk to them at all]
  
• Harbinger of Ill Omen (-1): You seem to be cursed to forever bump into a specific person, time and time again. Each time you do, something bad happens not long afterward. This person in no way does this purposefully, it just happens with alarming frequency.

  Explanation: You may act differently when money comes into play.
  
• Extravagant (-2): You enjoy living in the lap of luxury. Ale is never good enough if you can get fine wine instead. You aren't happy with anything less than the finest room in the inn.

V. HISTORY

History:
He doesn't remember how long ago it was when he firt grabbed the sword, but he remembers the day itself perfectly. It was a quiet night, the moon was shining bright over his home town, there was snow on the roofs of the houses and on the streets. He was playing outside with a friend, his parents were already sleeping, but he loved being outside at night, they went to the forest outside the town, it was not too far away, but it would be hard to see if anyone was there.

They entered the forest, wandering around, looking for an adventure of sorts. Then they found the cave, a large cave, pitchblack on the inside, his friend was scared when he saw it, but he, he had to go in there, as if the shadows inside wanted it. He went into the cave, his friend tried to stop him by pulling his arm, but around then Akumei was already stronger then him, he kept on walking, his friend let go just in front of the cave, where he waited. Inside the cave, he could see clear again, as if the shadows were showing him where to go. They were leading him towards a strange stone, with a sword on top of it. There were strange markings on the stone, yet they were unreadable. Akumei reached for the sword, but when he touched it, it vanished.

Suddenly, a sharp pain went through him, first through his hands, then his back and legs, before disappearing at his feet. The pain was horrible, when it was gone it made him feel numb, he collapsed onto the ground. When he woke up, he saw the sun shining from the entrance of the cave, when he went outside he could feel it, as if the sun burned into his skin, so he remained in the shadows, that all was, when he was 8 years old, before the Black Knight.

A few years later he heard voices, the shadows that spoke to him, telling him to search for blood, to murder, to destroy everyone in his town, for they had hurt the shadows. Then he felt the shadows, as if he were able to grab them, when he reached forwards to try, the sword appeared in his hand, a black long sword, sharp and deadly. This was the night people started to disappear, leaving trails of blood, all of them, leading towards one house, nobody dared to enter the house, exept for one person, the captain of the guard in his town.

All the people could hear was his scream, then the blood that covered the window, peope tried to burn down the house, yet everytime the smoke created a shadow, the fire went out, as if it was guarding it. People decided never to mention the house, letting it stand there. From that moment on, few people disappeared, nobody even went out looking for them anymore. The screams still covered the night, like a nightmare that wouldn't end. Many people in the village went insane, the voices were torture to them. When they tried to leave, they vanished. The shadow took them all away.

It has been many years since all of that happend, the house in the village was gone one day, leaving but a hole in the ground. The house that belonged to Akumei's family.

Since then Akumei has been seen multiple times, older people were scared of him, thinking he was the demon of the black village, but those younger didn't believe them, they just thought it was a made up story to scare children.

Now he looks for a guild, one where he can train himself, make his shadow stronger, his blade sharper. Waiting for the time he can consume all.
