FORMER MONSTER. OLIVER IS NOW A FAERIE.

OLIVER HAMPTON AGE 30 SPECIES Shade ALIGNMENT Fourth God, Tier 1 OCCUPATION Network Development | Liewen Labs RESIDENCE A cheap apartment in Bavan. DEATH COUNT 1 KILL COUNT 12 COIN COUNT 13 COINS SPENT 120 ART [ Solid Form ] by crescendoll [ Mid Form ] by capitalette [ Murder Arts ] by capitalette

Oliver is by default a living shadow. He appears solid black, like a human shaped void. This form lacks any features save his glowing eyes and his sharp teeth, which are pretty pointless given his lack of need for food in the traditional sense of the word. There's a small round patch on the lower right side of his lower abdomen that resembles white noise that in his solid form translates to scarring. He's permanently surrounded by a foggy aura that changes with his emotion. The fog is thicker while he is feeling more intense emotions, and the colour changes to reflect his mood. Darker shades indicate negative emotions whereas a lighter grey might point towards him being happier. He has a solid humanoid form, but taking this on for any length of time requires real effort. He has a long way to go before he masters it. Although in many ways he appears his old self while in this form he is still clearly not human. He is translucent with monochrome skin and misty features. His eyes are glowing, undefined orbs. His teeth are sharp. He can bleed in this form and when he does his blood is just as grey as his skin is. He wears glasses during the day so long as he's in solid form, but thanks to improved night vision he's less likely to wear them after dark even if it might be beneficial. Even though he is very much visible other indicators of his presence are now diminished. His movements are quieter, and his breathing and heart rate are near undetectable. Even his voice has a distant quality to it, particularly in his shadow form. ABILITIES POSSESSION For one hour, once per day, Oliver has the ability to possess someone. TELEKINESIS Objects can be moved with his mind, though he still struggles with larger objects unless it's accidental. His control has improved greatly, but when he's in a bad mood it becomes far more volatile and his usages are often involuntary. IMPROVED NIGHT VISION As shades are night creatures Oliver can see better in the dark than he can in the light, though he still needs glasses to take full advantage of this. As he struggles with maintaining solid form at the moment he frequently doesn't. ELECTRONIC DISTRUPTION Oliver can cause electronics to short circuit or malfunction. At the moment this is mainly triggered by high emotions at either end of the spectrum, but he's starting to get better. SHAPESHIFTING While in his shadow form Oliver is able to change his shape. His size changes with his mood. For example, he may be larger when angry or smaller when he's scared by something, though he can also change this by focussing. He can also make minor modifications to his body with concentration. Ever seen shadow puppets? Oliver doesn't need a wall to make those, and his look way more awesome. PAIN TRANSFERAL Oliver is able to take pain from others onto himself. This power is limited. He is able to make the pain more bearable, but lacks the ability to take it all himself. He's not 100% sure how to control this, but the more distress he feels on behalf of whoever's in pain the more likely he is to be able to activate it. WEAKNESSES VENGEFUL NATURE Destroy Matt Murdock 2k16. Oliver now has a much harder time letting go of grudges and keeping himself from trying to get revenge. LIGHT Oliver will slowly diminish when out in daylight. It doesn't hurt him, but it definitely leaves him feeling weak and the smaller he gets the less real he feels. Prolonged exposure will eventually result in his death. DIET Human souls are his sole only dietary requirement. He is able to take the soul from a person by reaching in and tearing it out of them. If he goes too long without doing this then Oliver gradually loses all sense of self-control.

Parasite Changes

[catphishing]

On 26th May Oliver became infected by a parasite in Kulen. He has been impacted by this in the following ways.

Level One (26th May - 16th June)

• Oliver feels the urge to feed more regularly and gets a high from each kill he makes. Though he doesn't get any hungrier than he would normally he does become more energetic if he eats more often.
  
• There is a slight increase to his vengeful nature.
  
• His teeth have become even sharper.
  
• His fingers have grown to be unnaturally long.
  
• On 14th June he gains an extra foot in height. His default is now 7', though he can shrink to as little as 6' or grow to as much as 8' depending on his mood. These changes are largely subconscious though he is capable of doing them intentionally. His humanoid form is still his original height.

Level Two (17th June - 24th July)

• Oliver has an increased urge to possess others, particularly his prey. He is drawn to criminals and enjoys giving them a death befitting their crimes. It is now possible for him to possess someone up to twice a day.
  
• His thirst for vengeance has increased sharply and Oliver feels the need to get revenge for even minor slights.
  
• He feels more friendly towards merpeople, harpies, vampires, and fellow shades than he might normally.
  
• The urge to shapeshift into something more frightening overtakes him from time to time. When this happens he grows up to 9' and though his shape is still roughly humanoid it doesn't look even remotely human. The shadows are less solid and more flowy. There are tendrils that are never present in his usual shadow form. In addition to this his body is completely covered in glowing eyes, though it can't be said his eyesight is really any better for it. His mouth is larger, accommodating a number of extra teeth.
  
• Even in his standard shadow form a few of these extra eyes remain. He has one under each of his usual eyes and an eye on each palm. The same is true for his more corporeal form.
  
• He has gained yet another foot in height. In his shadow form he stands by default at 8', though this can change to as tall as 9' or to a minimum of 7' depending on how Oliver is feeling at the time. This is a gradual change that takes place over the course of two days or so. In his humanoid form he's slightly taller, around 6'7.
  
• His aura now leaves a smokey looking trail, just for a few seconds after he moves.

Level 2 Ref: (Plus an extra set of face eyes because I'm a dope.)
