DarkShadow

Name: Sarah Covenry
Alias: Darkshadow
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Species: Human

Personality: Sarah is a bully and enjoys belittling others. She sees herself as villain and figures she may as well enjoy herself as befits her position. After all, if she were meant to be truly heroic she'd have had some power other than darkness and shadows. She is also a fairly cowardly and weak willed.

History: Sarah was born to an affluent family and dwelt in New York City, the very center of the world.  She grew up surrounded by stories of magic, dragons and maidens.  Had stuffed dragons and unicorns all over her room along with rainbows.  Her father, with his long hair was her personal wizard who could do anything.  Her mother was his princess (the wealthy one), whisked away by his dashing nature.
 
She was eight years old when an altercation between some unidentified metahuman figures assaulted politicians outside of the United Nations.  Her mother was killed during the altercation. 

Following the event Sarah had bad dreams, seeing shadows that moved in her room at night.  They terrified her and being fueled by her subconscious, grew more terrifying as she feared them.  In time she learned to control them.  Having had a protected childhood, she came to the conclusion that it was somehow all her fault and started to see herself as evil, somehow feeling that the death of her mother was her fault but not knowing why.
 
In time Sarah’s father corresponded with a Mrs. Thorne who had recently divorced and had two children, Sebastian and Faye who Sebastian called “Faerie”.  Things were good for a time.  Sarah was quite bitchy since she was very jealous of Faye and her relationship with Sebastian.  Finally, she decided to do something about it.  She drugged Sebastian with a date rape drug she got from someone at school and then after stripping him naked and having her way with him, took the same drug herself so that he would awaken first.  Faye found them and ran off screaming to their parents and Sebastian awoke not having a clue what was going on with his half-sister naked in his bed and unable to be awakened..  In short order, he was ousted from the household.
 
Sarah came into her powers shortly afterwards and began practicing in secret, not even sharing knowledge of this with her new "only sister" who she'd begun spending a lot of time with.  Faye soon figured out what had happened between Sarah and her brother but didn’t really have any proof.  Worse still, her mother didn’t want to even broach the subject with her.  Her husband thought the world of Sarah, his perfect little angel, and he was now the sole bread winner. This led to strained relationships.
 
Sarah, then met herself a new friend, a girl named Pandora Jenkins or as she referred to herself "Pandora Jinx". Pandora wasn't very good at keeping her powers secret. Her hyperactive nature sometimes got the better of her. Pandora then brought Sarah to several anonymous metahuman meetings where they ran afoul of a telepath seeking catspaws for his criminal activities.


Equipment: Darkshadow's powers are entirely innate and she has never had a need for any sort of equipment.

Powers/Abilities/Skills/Talents:Ectoplasmic Darkness Conjuration and Solidification
Sarah can summon ephemeral substance, ectoplasm, from the umbra, the darkest corner of the psychic plane, the place of nightmarish ghosts.

• Create Darkness: Sarah can create darkness in a large area which blinds all those using visual senses including infra-red. The darkness is not truly darkness but a large cloud of ectoplasm.
• See in Darkness: Sarah can see in any darkness, though only in shades of grey.
• Solidify Darkness: Sarah can make her ectoplasm solid, creating simple objects like walls and knives.
• Shadow Uniform: Sarah can wrap herself in darkness. Surprisingly it is almost impossible to cut but does very little against blunt trauma. (in other words getting hit with a sword is like getting hit with a baseball bat)

Weakness: Strong sources of light greatly hamper her abilities. She prefers to operate within the interiors of buildings or overcast days as a result. Lasers, being concentrated light, penetrate her powers like they didn't even exist. She also is rather weak willed.
