Basics
Name: Rodolphus VonPatrick
Mutant name: Nightshade
Age: 100+
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8"
Weight:152 lbs.
Orientation: Asexual
Personnals
Personality: On a day to day basis Rodolphus is quiet, subdued and spends his time alone if he can help it. His interaction with humans and mutant both is limited because of his so called ‘curse’. Despite his nastier tendencies of sarcasm and contempt, he is a very loving lonely man. His natural disposition is one of curiosity and gentleness, years and years of being used as nothing more than an object, however, have made him a harsh cynic with no love of long time company.
Like and Dislikes:
+Pork rice
+Silent nights where he can see the stars
+Fireplaces
-Humans
-Dark constricting places (fear of confinement/small spaces)
-Pudding
Strengths and Weaknesses: As for his strengths, Roddie is quick on his feet and skilled in battle. He has good stamina and a reaction speed heightened by his powers defensive nature. His weak points, however, are that he can switch sides at any given point, due to his powers, and that he can’t read nor write. Likewise, his powers can be, almost, controlled by whomever holds his ‘reigns’ so to speak. This irritates him to no end, and can fuel his rage to a level where it becomes dangerous.
History: Born in Germany to Emmaline and Dirk VonPatrick and quickly abandoned to an orphanage, Rodolphus started off life unknowing to a parents love. This didn’t deter the young boy however, as he grew up he was kind and generous to his fellow orphans. He quickly became friends with the entire household. As he grew and developed, and his eyes changed from a gentle brown to a crimson red on black, however, he was soon alienated from his friends.
At thirteen he ran off, scared and alone, and hurt that his friends and ‘family’ were afraid and hated him. He didn’t understand why he was called ‘Demon’ even after all the years he’d spent with them. He spent the next few years wandering town to town, running from villagers that were terrified by his appearance. His red hair was suddenly attributed to his eyes, and his newly pointed ears….well, let’s just say his appearance didn’t help.
Then it happened. At eighteen years old an older man protected him from a villager’s pitchfork, and Rodolphus felt himself pulled to him, like a dog on a leash. Confused, he found that he did whatever the older man wanted. Leaving him with no control of his own actions. By the time he ‘paid’ this man off, he had become a town leader and was very rich. The rumors that flew had people deliberately seeking the young man to force him into their service.
And so it went, year after year after year. And at twenty seven he realized he still looked no older than twenty four. Soon he realized that humans were greedy and dark-hearted with their wishes, and he desperately tried to free himself from their society. The further he tried to run, however, the deeper into debt he became. Until, deep in sorrow, he gave in to his powers ‘curse’ and lived out his time doing the whims of humans.
Until a group of scientists offered him reprieve. In return for them letting him sleep, he would allow them to study his X gene. Little did he know that this group of scientists worked for Mr. Sinister, nor that it would fuel the other mutants knowledge on Mutant kind. At the moment he is still slumbering in a lab deep in a research building in New York City.
Powers: Dark shadows that can become solid. He uses them to form weapons, cages, deadlocks. He can also transport between them, as long as where he’s going is another shadow. He is extremely fast, and his powers react to attacks and will defend him against attackers. On the downside he has what he calls a ‘curse’ It’s much like a summoned demon. If indebted to a person, he must do whatever they ask until he has paid it off. (Ex. His life gets saved, and he must repay them by either saving their life as well, or building up small tasks until he’s done.)
Extras: Has a tattoo on his arm (see photo)
