Full name: Dako [Last name unknown] Age: 17 Gender: Male Power/s: Shadow Manipulation. Dako can control, shape, and weaponize shadows for attacks, defense, movement, and concealment. His abilities become stronger in darkness, but overusing them drains his stamina. Appearance: Dako is 5’11” with messy black hair, bright blue eyes, and a lean athletic build. He wears dark urban streetwear with a black hooded jacket, tactical pants, high-top shoes, gloves, and several silver chains. He carries a katana and usually has a slightly arrogant smirk. Memorable appearance: He has a black birthmark beneath his left eye with faint markings extending toward his neck. His blue eyes sharply contrast with his dark appearance. He also wears multiple silver earrings. Personality: Dako is confident, loyal, funny, and competitive. He’s arrogant and can be reckless when his pride gets involved. When he first meets someone, he can seem cold, quiet, and distant because he doesn’t immediately trust strangers. Once comfortable, that disappears and his playful, sarcastic, energetic side comes out. Fears/Weaknesses: Dako fears losing the people he cares about and being unable to protect them. His confidence can make him underestimate opponents, while excessive shadow manipulation can leave him exhausted. Backstory: Dako grew up poor and learned to depend on himself. His shadow powers first awakened while protecting someone important to him. Unable to control them at first, he trained until he mastered them and combined them with katana combat. His strength earned him a reputation, but his loyalty to the people he considers family remains his greatest motivation. Status: Poor / Independent Accessories: Silver chains, rings, earrings, black pendant, gloves, tactical straps, and his custom katana.
