'''Get Off My Lawn!'''

−
: Born over a hundred years ago, Shade is an anachronism in the modern world and in many ways has made little to no effort to truly catch up. When confronted with technologies developed after the 1950's, he often finds himself ''A Man Out of Time'', unable to make newer technologies function, either from simple ignorance or - more often - violent frustration.

Line 85: Line 99:
 
: Because he is made of the stuff of elemental earth, Shade can, at will, shrug off any amount of physical stress from a single source (eg - bullets simply bounce off his chest, uselessly). However, the damage is reflected into his environment (bullets gotta go somewhere, after all).

: When someone, up to one zone away, is attacked, Shade can intervene, teleporting himself in front of them to defend for them. Leaping into action and throwing targets out of the way, however, will incur its own damage.

'''<u>Personal Details</u>'''

−
Born in 1909, Jacob's life changed forever on a dig in Central America. Cursed by an ancient Aztec artifact, he became something more than human. A being of deep elemental earth, timeless and ageless. And the spirit of a long dead high priest, Cuetlacthli, has taken up residence in his mind, plaguing Jacob with visions of a darker and more brutal world and philosophies that are more than foreign. They are alien.
