The Shade

( THE BASICS )
Name: The Shade
Canon: DC Comics
Character's (approximate) age: 200something
Character's powers: Shadows manipulation/constructs and shadow teleportation and immortality. It's weird, roll with it.
Is your character registered/will they be?: he is but idek how long that will last, he's kind of fucking aroudn for now.
Where does your character live?: 004!
Are you looking for roommates?: full up!
What is your character's job?: he's an assistant librarian.......

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
Skills: Okay, being pretentious as fuck, journaling and chronicaling everything in all these fucking journals, getting along with damn near everyone, botany, cooking, training superheroes, being a supervillain, killing people, but also saving people, it's weird living so long, and Shade's kind of one of those guys who doesn't stay still so he's got a lot under his belt. He's not an expert on like...any of them, but he's pretty alright at most of them. He can't create you a new strain of roses, but he sure can make his rose garden look pretty vibrant, etc.

He likes food. a lot. He's a gourmand, and he likes his drink -- particularly absinthe -- and really, anything that you'd think some stuffy fuckhead would like, he does. He enjoys art, writing, he was bffs with like charles dickens and oscar wilde so...idek what to make of this. He's really just into enjoying things. But really the thing he loves most of all is Opal, but unfortunately, his favorite city in the whole world is back home, and he's not there. So...yeah. Just don't start talking about art-deco or he might get a tear in his eye. This place is pretty close, just on stylistic principle though.

For Dislikes, Shade's actually...pretty chill. Don't fuck with opal, you don't get fucked by him. Or you know, he doesn't like people who do really shitty things I guess. However, he's also pretty against like...being restrained in any way. Being under the thumb of the government is definitely not something he likes -- if anything he hates it beyond anything else. He's an immortal with an obscene amount of power, so he hates being under the control of the government. Which, of course, is something that I'm enjoying a lot.
What are your character's plans?: Mostly I want to see him slide somewhere else, maybe back to the halcyon days of boredom where he went supervillain, or maybe to hero, although that one is a definite stretch
Does your character have a secret identity?: there is no richard swift in the shade
Is your character open for pairings?: if you..............want to.............
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: immortal. Hurt him all you want he bleeds black goo, it's gross.
Is your character interested in teams?: not really?
What kind of plots are you after?: I'm open for anything! Highly powerful plot devices, characters who need someone to get them around, a thieving buddy, anything you want, Shade can provide it. He's pretty much willing to work for anyone or anything for a price, and he damn well enjoys being himself tbh
Anything else?: uhhhhhhhhh I'm sorry I'm running out of cute and clever pictures
