Chris Moris

[Chris Moris]

Chris Moris
FACE CLAIM: Thomas Dekker.
---------------------------------

AGE: 17
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Bisexual
POSITION: College Student

POWER: Shadow merging.

Chris has the power to merge with shadows to take on their properties. To do this he has to have direct contact with the shadow and “Pull” it into himself. Once he has successfully merged with the shadow it will no longer be there, leaving the object/ person without a shadow. His own shadow is always drawn in regardless if any outside shadows are as well.

Once merged he is:
- able to slightly modify his form, making his body able to move it’s mass to assume slightly different looks. This is done due to being in the middle ground between an intangible substance and solid form. So his cells bonds are much weaker and more flexible than normal.
- merge onto a wall or floor, allowing him to fit through extremely tight spaces such as a crack in the wall or floor.
-harder to see, appearing to be cloaked in the shadows he merged with. Becoming a silhouette of his former self. Appearing as a silhouette with only a mouth.
-much colder if touched, due to the means by which shadows are made.
-harmed by bright lights, becoming hyper sensitive to light.
- Practically blind.
- see/ feel the world around him through existing shadows. Similar to how a spider feels a fly in its web.

LIMITATIONS:
- he can only stay merged for one hour at a time, having to stay split apart for a total of 6 hours afterwards. To allow his cells to realign themselves with his form.
The longer that he stays merged the more cold and disjointed he feels. As though the shadows are pulling his cells apart.
- The most he can shift his form when merged is adding a foot in height and contorting his body in ways the human skeleton would not allow. E.G. twisting his body in a spiral, however this is extremely painful as he still has bones and organs, the bonds between the cells are just weaker.
- merging onto a wall or floor like a conventional shadow is painful and risky, as he is flattening his cells to make the shadow. This requires a level of willpower and strength from him. The same applies if he was to remove himself from the wall. Needing to pull himself off of it.
- He cannot see nearly anything. With the equivalent of immense  nearsightedness. Relying on feeling the world through the shadows around him.

SIDE-EFFECTS:
- He is always sensitive to light, having a quite pale complexion and burning easily in the sun. And gaining headaches from the sunlight.
- If he doesn’t return himself to normal before separating from the shadow, he will be in agony until he can re-merge to fix his mistake.
- His skeleton is weaker than a normal persons, with the bones being more malleable. This leads to breaks and fractures more frequently.
- he has nightmares about the feeling staying merged for too long can give him, as though his cells are being pulled apart and drifting away.
- If he is caught in direct sunlight without being merged onto a surface like a conventional shadow he is forced to separate.


HEIGHT: 5ft 10
HAIR COLOR: Black
EYE COLOR: Dark blue.

MISC: Chris is a typical Goth guy, he will dress to avoid sunlight regardless of the heat. Often opting for a band shirt, black jeans and a hoodie of some description. It’s rare he will be not in black clothing.



PERSONALITY: There isn’t allot of things that Chris likes. But there is a few things.
- Stealing, often using his power to slip into people’s houses unnoticed.
- Metal music, bands such as black veil brides and bullet for my valentine.
- The dark. He loves the dark, no sun to worry about.
- Short relationships, never something emotional
Dislikes:
- Daytime, it makes him grouchy and irritable.
- Authority, especially cops and teachers. People that think they know right from wrong.
- Being challenged.
- Admitting he is wrong.
- Physical conflict
- Playing fair.

He is a genuine prat. One of the spoiled kids that thinks everyone is below them and the world is their playground. Having been brought up with everything he ever wanted he has come to think that everything belongs to him, regardless of the real owner. This has led to several conflicts with the law and several bailouts.

SECRET(S): He is really terrified of what people think about him and longs to be accepted, however this is masked with layer after layer of defense's such as stealing and name calling. General anti-social behavior.


FATHER: Thomas, Moris
MOTHER: Sally, Moris
SIBLINGS: N/A
WORTHY MENTIONS: Chrissy Jones (Nanny)

CHILDHOOD: Chris was born to Sally and Thomas Moris. Two of Austin Texas’s best and brightest business partners. They had fallen in love during one of their very first business deals. And Chris was quick to follow. Being A only child of two very wealthy parents had its perks. Like he was quick to get whatever he wanted. And was given all the freedom he needed, although at such a young age he was also loveless. With both parents jetting off around the world to have lunch with clients and seal deals. He was left.

To combat this he had a Nanny. Chrissy. She became the mother figure for 5 year old Chris, spending all night and all day with her, she played with him and gave him all the love and attention that he needed. She truly began to love him as her own. Just as he loved her. This love continued as he was being prepped to become one of the high class people. With events such as fund raisers requiring his attendance to try and loosen the pockets of the wealthy.

ADOLESCENCE: Once he hit the age for school it was straight off to boarding school. They thought that if they sent Chris off to boarding school he would grow up more, become less reliant on his nanny and the love of others. However this was not the case. While he did grow up he longed for attention even more than he did before. To the point that he started stealing and getting into trouble just so that he could be seen by the teachers.

This continued for a few years until he was 14, by this point he had become highly skilled in sleight of hand and stealing things right off peoples bodies. He had also gained a certain level of confidence that came with access to all of his parent’s money. This made him arrogant and hard to get at.

Then his manifestation happened, he was 14 and it was a Saturday night. He was robbing a house in the city, pretty simple job with the occupants out for a meal. He couldn’t be sure. However with a jolt they pulled into the driveway and unlocked the door. With a jolt he backed into a wall, literally. Merging with the shadows on the wall he was instantly plunged into a world of darkness. Taking a minute to adjust and stop panicking he realized that he could see. It was just different, the world was dark and desolate, yet he could feel the objects around him and see the shadows they gave off.

Once he had slipped out of the house. Again literally he went back to school and started to mess around. This continued for around three weeks. Where he was called to the head masters office, there was a strange man and talk of a new school. There was a question about if he wanted to tell his parents. His first thought. Fuck them. They would never agree to let him go. So with a call to his nanny Chrissy he was on route to this Bellefonte Academy that he had been told about.
