Name- Cassidy Okuda

Age- 16

Allegiance- Undecided but probably Defenders, eventually

Main Power- "Shadow"/Dark Energy Manipulation*

Minor Power- Unconsciously exudes a mild terror pheromone, just enough to amplify already agitated peoples' fear. For example, he's part of a team doing a breaking and entering stealth mission of some sort. There's a guard that's already incredibly nervous about guarding, I don't know, Jesus' left testicle or something, Cas' pheromones would just sort of push him over the edge to where somebody popping up and going "boo." in a monotone would make him faint. Meanwhile, the other guards who're all hardened war criminals wouldn't be affected at all.

Weakness(es)/Power Drawbacks- ^^^I ^^^think ^^^I ^^^can ^^^spin ^^^this ^^^to ^^^be ^^^both ^^^at ^^^once. Actually using his main power for more than few seconds at a time causes horrific hallucinations that can start anywhere between instantly and days later and can last from seconds to hours. Sometimes causes "precognitive" visions ^^^that ^^^are ^^^occasionally ^^^forced ^^^on ^^^anyone ^^^he ^^^uses ^^^his ^^^powers ^^^on. The difference between the two is the "visions" basically force a third person/out of body experience where the experiencer for lack of a better word more or less views a Superjail-ish massacre/apocalypse/whatever.

He's still willing to use his powers (pfft sanity, who needs, mirite?), this just sort of relegates him to a support character- drag off/aggro one enemy at a time, temporary cloaks, stuff like that. I'd like to eventually have him be able to turn this on other people (like what Raven did to Doctor Light in the old Teen Titans show; less tentacles, more badass Sith-styled hands-over-the-throat-while-darkness-slowly-covers-the-face) but at the cost of taxing his mind more. Basically, regardless of any upgrades he might get later, using his powers in any capacity will eventually break him.

**Personality(?)- Since this is just a little blurb for a character submission and not a full on template (and Origin Story and all that good stuff is separate... the easiest way to start this comparing him to pre-Trigon trying to end the world Raven. Mostly "speak when spoken to" kind of quiet, measured, likes to keep to himself. He's not outwardly creepy or offputting, he doesn't actually go out of his way to avoid people, just... doesn't do much to encourage anyone to notice him, either. Spends most of his time reading and meditating (something he started doing to cope with the hallucinations and faux-visions), collecting horror memorabilia, stuff like that. It's actually not until you get to know him that he gets creepy, or worse still, you get a taste of his powers' kickback.

*As of starting, I'd like to leave it at shadows. It's really energy from a sort of "Negative Zone" dimnsion that's full of eldritch abominations and stuff. Would obviously need some help, but I'd like to explore the dimension and how Cas has access to it at some point.

*More often= quicker, etc. etc. Even with meditation and constant reminders that the horrible, horrible shit using his powers projects onto him... I'm talking like bizzarro fiction Ass Goblins of Auschwitz mixed with H.R. Geiger and Clive Barker. Stuff that would be a lot for anyone, let alone a 16 year old kid.

Think I did that right. If/when he's approved I'll expound on it more, but my characters are usually the ones causing* the massacres, so it'll be nice to write someone he's not a violent mentally unstable bastard for a change ^^^two ^^^out ^^^of ^^^three.
