Shane Parker
About
Shane lived a perfectly normal life for the longest while, never realizing how good he had it... until a run-in with a witch started a string of bad luck he now regards as a curse. His father left in the third grade, money started getting tight in the fourth, his mom started getting sick in the fifth grade until she was eventually hospitalized in the seventh. During all this, he couldn't tell anyone about his run-in with a witch who cursed him with immortality--not like anyone would believe a crazy story like that.
The sole caretaker of his little sister Alice, struggling to juggle school and part time jobs to keep aloat, the last thing he should have added to his plate was being a superhero. But what can he say? He needed to feel useful somehow.

Notes
- Every time he dies and revives, he gets a new scar.
- His hero outfit consists of a cloak made of either fabric or shadow, and later on he starts putting black grease paint on his face over his eyes.
- His casual clothes are mostly gray-scale tshirts and jeans, red converse, and hoodies. The classics are (aging) red and gray ones, though he does get gifted an orange one. His clothes are usually thrifted.
- He will wear whatever he has on under his hero cloak when duty calls. He's gone out with a Wendy's uniform on under it once. #sponsorship
Personality
Mostly a loner, but craves friendship. Often shuts people out, but is very awkward and lonely because of it. Generally distrusting of people's motives, but is loyal to his friends. Protective of his friends, his sister, and anyone that reminds him of them. Can be open and even a bit sarcastic with his closest friends. Doesn't much trust adults.
Likes
Music
His main solace, and his favorite job. Started with keyboard, has a strong affinity for guitar, and was picking up violin before he had to sell it. He's very good at guitar, especially fingerpicking, and can sing the sweetest serenade or jam out in a rock band if he ever got the chance.
Sweets
Has a fondness for caramel and other sugary things. Though he rarely ever buys treats for himself.
Feeling Helpful
He loves feeling helpful, feeling like he's having an impact. He'll burn the wick at both ends if it means making someone he cares about smile.
Reading
He's always had an affinity for it, though he doesn't get much time to do it lately. Escaping into another world... he has a special affinity for fantasy.
Archery
He took lessons for the longest while, inspired by yet another fantasy novel he'd fallen in love with. He had to cancel lessons and use the extra money to pay bills, but being a hero gives him plenty of time to practice his shots.
Cooking
He loves cooking and learning recipes. Every recipe can come with so many unique stories, every ingredient playing a special role in a treasured memory. If he had endless funds, and everything else was handled? He'd be splurging on cookbooks.
Castles
Maybe this was because of his love of fantasy, maybe it was because modern cities felt like hell on Earth to him. But damn... Shane would love to live in a castle. All by himself, with only some ravens and a throne to keep him company. Whether the halls be cold or cozy, as long as it had solitude, he would love it. Maybe someday in the future...
His Friends
He treasures them immensely, even if he doesn't quite understand why they stick around. They might be the one thing keeping his heart from freezing over to despair and apathy. Whether they'd been with him since Kindergarten, or were a new feature of his life... he was bad about pushing people away, but the people who give him a second chance were definitely worthy of breaking down his walls.
Dislikes
Himself
It genuinely feels like a shock that anyone's willing to put up with him. That, or a thorough ruse, a joke that everyone's in on but him. He doesn't like the way he looks, he gets frustrated with himself and how he acts on a day to day basis, and its certainly obvious that most people around him agree. Still, that makes him treasure his friends all the more...and makes him worried he'll wake up one day and they'll be gone.
Immortality
He used to be scared of death. He used to think he could live forever, should live forever, would live forever, with all his friends. No danger they couldn't overcome, nothing to pull them apart from each other. Now he had that... and it was more of a curse than the blessing it had been branded as. Knowing he'd outlive his closest loved ones, what little family he had left, his dearest friends. Having to watch their lights dim to darkness one by one, snuffed out before his eyes, while his cruelest fate was to be forced to live on without them... yet, being too cowardly to do anything about it.
Being a Burden / Admitting Defeat
It's the last thing he wants. If people are going to put up with him, be nice to him for whatever reason, the last thing he wanted to do was be yet another trouble in their life. He'll work himself until his bones were dust before he admitted he needed help with anything, that he wasn't strong enough to handle the lot he had in life. Maybe it was some final shreds of some stupid pride he was holding onto, clutching it tight in his fists when he should logically just let it go. When he had so little, he wanted at least that to hold him over.
Bullies
Do they have nothing better to do than kick people while they were already down? Bring people to the brink of despair and push them down into the void? Nothing was more pathetic than getting your kicks tormenting others... asides from himself, at least. Still, he was willing to take the brunt force of the bullying if it meant his friends were left alone--but even though no bystanders ever step in for him, he'll throw himself in head-first to protect someone else from tormentors.

Powers
Energy Manipulation
Can create a bow and arrow of spectral life energy, and is able to use many different kinds of arrows; standard (orange), exploding (red), split (blue), and sleep (green). He can also send out a powerful blast of energy that can knock people back and cause damage, but usually passes out after so it's very last-resort. Can also teleport (accuracy drops if he tries to teleport more than 3 blocks, difficult to appear in rooms he's never been in). The further he tries to teleport, the more it strains at his energy. He can pass out if he tries to teleport too many times.
Darkness Powers
He can shadow travel, essentially travelling into almost any room or to any location by stepping/falling into a shadow and coming out ofanother shadow. Works best if he can clearly visualize the new location. Limitless distance, but the weaker the shadow the more difficult to travel in/out of a location. He can also darken shadows around him for stealth purposes, or reach into them to form his cloak.
Immortality
If killed, his body will self-heal and reconstruct itself, leaving a scar of the wound that killed him. Typically takes anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours, depending on the severity of the damage (i.e. a broken neck takes about 10 minutes, a bullet to the head or chest would take about 15 minutes, heart removal takes an hour, being beheaded could take upwards of a day.) Regeneration can be prevented by blocking the wound, but would complete itself if the object is removed. The only way to kill him permanently is by suffocation on smoke from a fire, aka asphyxiation.
WEAKNESSES
His powers will fizzle out and stop working if he's too close to a fire (though he can still teleport/shadow travel away from said fire).

Trivia
- Linkin Park is one of his favorite bands, and one I associate with him heavily. However, his other favorite artist is Bruno Mars.
- For awhile, in writing, I would give him a pet raccoon named Bandit. I don't do this anymore, but other animals I associate him with are ravens.
- He's terrified of spiders.
- One of his life goals is to learn as many instruments as possible.
- He has a passion for cooking, and loves learning new recipes.
- I used to draw him with straight hair, but I made it curly more recently.
- He would love to learn horseback riding someday. Archery on horseback... *chefs kiss*
- His skin has a very faint glow to it, much easier to notice at night or in dark rooms. His blood glows a bright orange when he gets hurt, and dulls to orangey-red if he dies.
- Shane was created when I tried to roleplay Shadow the Hedgehog... really, really badly. Do with that what you will.

Alice Parker
His dearest baby sister. She's all he has left of his family, and he's determined to do whatever he needs to, to give her a fighting chance in this world. It's all worth it, as long as she's growing up safe and happy.
All that being said, he's still her older brother, so it's natural they get on each other's nerves sometimes. But push come to shove, he'd do anything for her.
Diana Terrivel
The first time he saw her, he was so dazzled by her that he made a fool of himself. Fortunately, she found it cute, and after a year or so of dancing around each other with flirting and teasing, they're dating.
They're both immortal, and they know they're both immortal. Diana's said she's more than ready to stand by him through the eons, but... her? With him? He can barely even believe she's interested in talking to him most days.
Alana Ritroso
He's never had an easy time making friends, he's always been somewhat of an outcast, and those facts have only been becoming more and more apparent as time passes. His friendship with Alana? He treasures it immensely. He feels he can tell her anything, but... he'd hate to make her worry about him.
Will Sanders/The Puppeteer
They used to be friends. Heavy emphasis on used to be. Now Will was just another racist, sexist, homophobic pig, trying to be one of the big bullies and kick him while he was down. Will wasn't a threat to him, in the grand scheme of things. But if he tried to hurt Alana, in any way...
