Personality:
    Cocky.  Bakkar was the one time “Lord of Blood” which is where he got his title.  He mastered his own martial arts fighting style he dubbed “Casual Death” while in retreat in his family’s castle before it was lost to the darkness.  This gives him a surprisingly confident air, even when fighting, convinced that whatever life throws at him, he will find a way to make it work to his benefit.

Weakness:
    Bardic  Magic.  Anything that uses audio waves to do damage makes him hypersensitive for a time depending on the force of the sound and how close he is to it when it hits.  Most of his reason for choosing the Neko form to wear.  With the larger ears and feline hearing, it seems to make sense that the noise would cause him discomfort and leave him sensitive, thus allowing him to take the damage without giving away his true nature.

Uses: Psyche to learn, none otherwise.
Description: allows you to summon a shadow tendril from the plane of shadows. These tendrils can do basic tasks, but cannot fight. When destroyed or no longer needed, it will go back to the plane it came from. Learning this spell is required in order to use almost any of the other shadow skills. As such, any potential shadowmancer must prove they can communicate with the shadow realm before they can be taught any other ability. Level 1 mastery allows the control of a single tendril.
Special Conditions:
1. Limitations for the tendril: It can move any item up to a maximum of 10 pounds. Any Light attack aimed at the tendril will dispel it. Any physical attack of 10hp or more will dispel it. It has no defense roll. If the shadowmancer loses conciousness, the tendril will vanish.

Create Darkness
Cost: 5MP
Uses: Psyche
Description: Removes light from an area, plunging an area into darkness. At Circle 1 this can darken the average bedroom. Circle 2 a large living/dining room area. At Circle 3 it can darken an entire restaurant. Circle 4 and above this spell works outdoors during the daylight hours as long as there is at least some shadow coming from above, such as trees in a forest ( this will not work on an open beach for example ). This spell lasts for 1d5 minutes / rounds times the maximum Circle of the caster.

Obfuscate
Cost: 5MP
Uses: Psyche

3. A player can, if they so wish roll intuition to sense if they're being watched. Those with no alignment to the Light or the Dark need to however roll a red to notice this. Those of Light or Darkness can spot the eyes with a yellow due to the alteration in magic in that area. Other shadowmancers, being as how this is natural for them, need only roll a green.

Sense Evil
Cost: N/A
Uses: Psyche
Description:  It’s easy for one demon to smell another, not by their odor orby their blood but by the energy they give off. The “stink” of their souls are extremely unique.  Vampires and Zombies carry a different smell, and he cannot discern between the two, but both are enough to nearly gag him. Roll Psyche vs opponents Psyche to sense. Due to his sensitivity to vampires, they roll at psyche -2 to keep hidden.

True Form
Like any evil, that which is shown is not always what truly is.  When Bakkar reaches a certain point, he will shed his body to reveal the hideous beast beneath.  Despite the Incubi’s neko charm in his smaller form his Infernal body is as ugly as his neko is beautiful.  

Background:

Rik Hushai was once a mortal man.  At the start of his first life, he found himself able to Channel.  This was unheard of, simply because it was feared in men.  Any men who could channel were fated to go mad, because the source of the power that allowed them to use Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Spirit was tainted by Shai’tan.  The first time he tried to teach himself to Channel, he wound up losing control of his powers and burning down his entire village.  Killing dozens, he was hunted by the other villagers and run off in to the deserts of the North.  Starving, thirsty, and terrified of his own power, he had resigned himself to death before he was found by one of The Chosen, a group of channelers who had dedicated themselves to the Great Lord of the Dark.  In a hazy stupor, he accepted their help, and swore his allegiance.  As a tool of the dark lord, he was given immunity to the madness of his powers and trained to be a weapon of terror.  He quickly established himself among the Chosen by taking over a lord’s manor in the wilderness outside of one of the main cities and using it as his playground of evil.  Kidnapping women and children,and later on only children, he would use a tub lined with spikes to drain the blood of his victims into casks, then chill the precious life-blood likewine.  He had no dilusions of being a vampire, but people grew to fear the one they started to call Bakkar al’Shan.

It was only then that he attracted the attention of another channeler.  Fate, and destiny, favored the other, and when they met Rik was destroyed in a matter of moments, his entire reign crashing down over the course of an afternoon and his name stricken from every record.  All mention of him was forbidden.  His legacy had come to an end, so it would seem.

However, the Great Lord of the Dark had other plans for his useful pawn, and banished his soul to Makai.  He was “born” to Emilio and Angelsahra, a powerful family of demons in the dark world.  Growing up, he was taught how to live like demonic royalty, everything he wanted was given to him and he proved time and time again that his wits were only outmatched by his ruthlessness.

A day came when Emilio and Angelsahra left the home, leaving it to Bakkar  and his sisters, Rebecca, Deltora, and Belia. The children mastered their powers, and studied their own respective traits, often times turning the castle home in to a war zone as they vied to establish a pecking order.  It was during this time that Deltora came up with the idea to bind their spirits to the castle home.  Once the process was complete, the children left home and went their separate directions, never to look back, but sending all of the energy they gathered back to the castle to be stored.  

This, of course, created problems when one of Bakkar’s nemesis’ found out about it and corrupted the power to work against them.  After a quick battle and much struggle, the siblings separated themselves from the mansion, and once more went on their way in their own directions.  It was how their family survived.

Bakkar now wanders, moving place to place, influencing people, making allies and followers and expanding his own knowledge of the multiverse of dimensions.

Update: Settling in to Fantasy Island hasn't been the easiest for Bakkar, but he has managed to do so spectacularly.  Co-owner of Unusual Cuts, bound to his favorite Naga, Medusa, and his closest companion, Kiohai, Bakkar has begun forming a balance between work and play, finding ways to take joy in the mundane tasks of operating a business and not torturing this person or that.  

Using Kiohai's buildup of gems and other dragon payments, his own savings account and what few funds Medusa had to put in as well, the three now own one of the mansions on the island, three stories tall and just as many garages.
