Darkness

Darkness is a character in The Grand Heist.

Equipment
A small dagger hidden on his belt, a robe, and a pouch full of pills when taken produce a variety of effects.

Abilities
Being a shadowbeing, Darkness has the unfortunate side effect of being very weak to any form of light, and must hide in the shadows to survive. He can form a physical shape and walk about the day, but he can not stay this way forever and takes his refuge in all possibilites. Also, since he is a shadowbeing, he possesses a small amount of magickal ability, and therefore can alter someone else&#39;s emotions for a very small amount of time (about 10-15 seconds). He usually uses this to get past rather attentive guards to knock them out of it. Quite a bit of recharge time is needed to use it again.

When Darkness hides in the shadows, he still has a form that can be killed.

Description
Darkness, when in his physical form, can only be seen as a silhouette. He has no major physical features different than that of the average human man that can be made out from the shadow. Since he was always lonely, he is apathetic, sad, and commonly angry at the world, but he tends to keep a calming presence about him and treats people with the upmost respect.

Biography
Since he could never live a normal life among the Human populace, Darkness was always alone. Since he had to make it on his own and could have no social life otherwise, he slowly came to know only that of apathy. What he needed he stole, and that was that. His ability to hide in the shadows made that easy. Over the years, Darkness became a master of stealth and learned a variety of tricks to make the guards uneasy and easy to slip by. He stole priceless paintings for entertainment, then inexplicably place them back to watch the people's reactions on the news. However, when he became bored of that, he began crafting pills that would have a variety of effects on people, from drowziness to spontaneous combustion. The problem being is that not even Darkness knows what pill is which to this day, and as such has never taken one himself.
