Name: Tenasa Hadicha. Always goes by his title of "The Shadow". Doesn't tell anyone who isn't his friend his real name. He also doesn't have any friends. So there.
Age: 28.
Gender: Male
Weapons: Silence, a razor sharp katana made of an extremely durable alloy created by the Silent Rose's scientists, is the Shadow's primary weapon. The Shadow also has a spare katana with a blade that folds into its hilt, allowing for easier storage. The Shadow usually keeps about twenty five to forty five throwing knives and daggers hidden around his person, including Mercy and Compassion. Mercy is a well balanced throwing knife, Compassion is a long stiletto, both made from the same material as Silence. The Shadow also has several smoke bombs and flash pellets which could confuse and disorient an opponent. Finally, The Shadow's clockwork legs and right hand can be used as weapons.
Equipment: The Shadow has several pieces of distinctive equipment he uses as well. The first is his helmet, which he wears on missions. It is a featureless black helmet without air or eye holes. It is magically enchanted, giving him sonar while he has it on and preventing him from needing to breathe. The visor can be lifted if regular vision is required. It can also project his voice to any within a specified radius, or project emotional responses to those within hearing distance of him. The Shadow has three prosthetic limbs, his right arm and both legs. The legs have numerous cubbies where he stores smoke bombs and knives. They also each incorporate a compressed air jet on the soles, which can enhance the Shadow's jumping capabilities. The right hand contains a wrist mounted retractable blade, and the hand can be launched. It is attached by a length of cable, allowing it to be used as a grappling hook. The hand also stores a small metal baton which the Shadow uses when he isn't trying to kill his opponent (which is rarely). Finally, the Shadow maintains a collapsible glider which he can use in tandem with his leg jets to glide at high speeds.
Faction: Formerly The Silent Rose, now a free agent.
Job: Ninja. Works as a thief or assassin, also very skilled at fighting.
Romantic orientation: No one knows.
Appearance: The Shadow's face is nondescript, but handsome. He has wiry but muscular build, and his body is well honed from years of training and experience. His eyes are a piercing, icy blue. He has a mop of wavy black hair that goes to the nape of his neck. He usually dresses in the conservative blacks of his profession, going without a mask when he is not on a mission. On missions, he wears his helmet. Both of his legs are mechanical from the waist down, and his right arm is mechanical from above the elbow down. At times, he also wears a heavy black cloak when he needs protection from the weather.
Attitude: The Shadow is cold and distant, his training and life having given him very little knowledge of people or social conventions. He is a good person at heart, but is very disenfranchised and bitter, and hates the state of the world. He can be extremely condescending without realizing it, and he never minces words. The Shadow has no tolerance for fools. The Shadow is the sort of person who figures out the best way to kill everyone he interacts with. Not out of malice or paranoia, but simply because he might have to kill them in the future, and he is nothing if not thorough.
Notable History: Tenasa Hadicha never knew his parents. One of the less morally upright scientists of the Silent Rose found him as a baby, lying in a gutter, apparently abandoned there. Deciding that this was an excellent opportunity, the scientist took Tenasa, named him, and had him trained as an assassin and warrior. Since the training was almost from birth, Tenasa learned well. He was kept secluded from other sentient beings, as this would, in theory, have distracted him from his training. After an unfortunate accident in a training course, Tenasa lost his legs and most of his right arm, but managed to escape none the less. The scientist gave him prosthetics to make up for this, unwilling to lose the years of effort that had already been put into Tenasa. As Tenasa came of age, the Silent Rose began employing him as an assassin and thief, sending him into the world for the first time. Tenasa did his job well, and soon became more trusted. As time went on, however, Tenasa became more curious about the outside world. He began to sneak out of the compound he lived in on a regular basis, exploring the nearby city and learning about the world and Silent Rose. As he learned more, he became disgusted with the Rose and his life. He escaped, and determined that he would do his best to end suffering within the world by destroying those who harm others in their greed, giving himself the title of the Shadow.
Reputation: The Shadow is generally considered a story, something to scare the new recruits with. Very few people have interacted with him and lived while he was recognizable.
