Name: Shakal
Nickname: None
Age: 82
Sex: Male (insofar as Shades have sexes)
Race: Shade
Alignment: Neutral (can be swayed)
Occupation: Head of Gelu Metal Urbs City
Personality: Shakal has two personailties which he/it changes depending on whom he is interacting with. He can be extremely malicious, not caring who he has hurt, or to the extent he has hurt them. On the other hand, Shakal can be very caring, helping anyone anywhere if they just ask for it.
His enemies tend to find themselves with shadows stalking them, whereas his friends tend to find shadows shielding them from horrible things.
History: Shakal was one of the first generation of Shades, created by one of the Necromancers who spawned the first Shades. As such, he is ever so slightly more powerful than others, but this is such a tiny difference it doesn't have much of an effect.
Not two hours after the brutal slaughtering of those few unfortunate Necromancers, Shakal was one of the three that encountered a group of travellers, and instantly took on the form of their shadows, travelling for days and days, the other two quickly abandoning the travellers. Eventually, Shakal found himself in the city of Gelu Metal Urbs.
Fascinated by the amount of technology surrounding him, he left the travellers then and there. Unbeknownst to him, though, the travellers finished their journey that little bit happier. Shakal found everything, the city, the people, the machines, all extremely interesting, and soon earned himself a guard position in Gelu Metal Urbs.
Several years of faithfully guarding the city from any attacks (at night) ended with Shakal being made the Head City Guard, despite the fact he can only guard at night. He loves his job and is aquainted with all the mechanical defenses, all of which he can command, even if just a little.
Appearance
Clothes: None (has exactly the same features as a shadow, save the fact that he can make himself 3D and into any other form, and below)
Distinguishing Features: Shakal's eyes are pitch black, yet they have a glowing, golden ring around them which grow when he feeds (on the shadow).
Picture:
(a simple shadow form)
Magic: Time (although very weak)
Weakness: Bright lights, intense temperatues (in excess of 200 degrees C)

Running, running...
"You can't escape me, Shakal. I will get you! There is nowhere you can hide!" The voice shook his body like a divining rod. He looked back, the creature following him was growing larger, shouting his name. "Shakal!"
"Agh!" He screamed, sitting up straight in a cold sweat. He looked around, his eyes growing used to the sudden light.
"Shakal, are you ok? You've been thrashing about all night..."
"Erina? Yes, yes I'm fine." He breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks..." He kissed her briefly on the lips before snuggling up close to her in the bed. "You ok?"
"Yeh, I'm good." She kissed Shakal on the head. " I was just so worried!"
"I'm ok, hun. Come on, get back to sleep."
"Sure? Ok. Goodnight, Shak."
"Night, Erina."
"What a heartfelt talk that was, Shakal. I didn't know you had it in you."
"Leave me alone! That was years and years ago!"
"You mean centuries, Shakal. Don't you remember the old days?" Shakal squirmed nervously. "Ah, you do. Don't you remember the thrill you go whenever you-"
"Don't say it." Shakal shouted, butting in.
"Killed?" The creature continued. It laughed maniacally. "You are nothing anymore, Shakal. Nothing! And when I find you, I will kill you. Mark my words."
"NO!" Shakal screamed.
