Arms and Shoulders: shoulders=Average width, not very defined.
Arms= Slender in apperance, not very "toned".

Hands: Hands are slender and delicate looking. The palms bear matching scars which seem to form the words "I love you" In a crude writing. Does not appear to be self imposed. the writing is upside down when she holds her palm towards her.
Nails=Kept fairly long, yet nicely manicured and usually painted a dark color.

Torso: slightly chubby.

Hips:broad and nicely curved.

Legs and Feet: Legs= average in apperance of length. Feet are small but not entirely dainty looking. Fairly "average looking". Toenails are usually painted to match fingernails.

Piercings/Other Modifications: Facial= Double Bridge, Center placed Medusa and Labre.
Ears=Single pierced

Make up/Accesories: Make Up is Typically "dark". Heavy eye make up, dark lipstick, Mostly Deep purple, black or Deep red.
Jewelry is Typically dependant on the Style of Clothing. Most typically a Chocker of Some sort is worn. Earings are mostly Silver Hoops, But may be extravagant beadwork aswell.
Gold is Never worn.

Typical Clothing Style: Dark fabrics (Purple, Black, Red) Usually a Leather, Vinyl, Latex, or Silk.
Style=Typically a corset of some sort. Skirts. Typically flowing and long, or tight and short. (See clothing refrence for best idea)
Almost always wears some sort of "Boot" or high-heel. (See refrence for best ideas)

Other Distinguishing Marks/Features: Possesses the natural ability of the "Spike hoof" race to extend 6 inch claws from each finger. The claws extend over the fingernail like a second nail. They are made of a substance only known as "spike hoof metal". It is said the "metal" is a liquid form in thier body, and hardens as it hits air. It is assumed chemicals in their body "melt" it once again to retract the claws. The claws are silver in color, and extreamly sharp. They are thin like a finger nail.
Wings= Also seen to have the ability to "Sprout" bat-like winges from the areas of her shoulder blades. The wings are large, but not large enough to inable flight. Perhaps gliding. Wingspan extens just past her outstreatched arms, and the bottoms reach about mid thigh.

Special Abilities/Talents: Possess the ability to bend reality to her will. She must believe that she can preform a task, or it will not succedd. So far the only limits to this ability are her own self confidence, and she must have adequate personal energy.
"Alternate form"= Has been seen to display an alternate form. one where her eyes seem to be made of white light. Also seemingly "Spirit" Bird like wings are seen on her back. The wings vary in size. This all may just be her warping reality.

Personality:At times Harsh, outspoken and seemingly cold. Othertimes very shy and unsure of herself. Very loyal to her friends. Seemingly uncareing to most others.

Name: Kieriosse "Shadowen" Consopolest

Species: Panthorien (Grey Tabby) is able to change form to appear mostly human.(note just remove the fur and feline features and add pale skin. see refrence for human face)

Age: Looks Approx. early 20's

Height: 6 feet 0 inches

Body type: Body is thick in apperance, not overly muscular. A very "Solid" build.

Facial Shape: Heart: Face is wide at the temples and hairline, narrowing to a small delicate chin.
Ears are large and feline in apperance. (think of him like a big cat that walks on human shaped legs)

Nose: Feline in apperance. Flesh is a pink color. bridge is covered in fur, like that of a cat.

Hair:
Body: Short "feline like" hair covers his entire body. The main color is a light grey. His "Tabby like markings" are a deep charcoal color. (see refrences)
Head hair=Only present in a small "fringe" on the front part of his head. He grows it long, past his jawline, but will typically brush it back so it appears to be a flattened "moehawk". The main color is black, with usually neon greeen tips added to it.

Skin Tone:Unknown, he is covered in grey tabby marked fur.

Eyes: Color=deep blue shape=feline

Mouth: shaped like that of a feline. Lower lip is noticable, but not prominent.

Arms= thick and strong looking, not overly muscular

Hands: large. Also covered in fur. Has retractable claws like that of a feline.

Torso: thick, slightly chubby (has a bit of a belly).

Hips:typical male

Legs and Feet: Legs= thick and human in apperance. (still fur covered) feet look human except for the toes, which resemble feline toes, also with retractable claws.

Piercings/Other Modifications: Ears=Single pierced

Make up/Accesories: typically wears very little Accesories, but a pair of dark sunglasses, even at night. Only thing he nearly constantly wears is some sort of trench coat(mostly black, get creative, add buckles, straps what ever makes it look cool to you)., or in some cases Clear. When wearing the clear one, can be seen in various "novelty" boxers. nothing else.

Other Distinguishing Marks/Features: the back of his head bears white markings which appear as if someone drew a series of cracks in it. Like a broken mirror. the fur appears to grow that way naturally. They cover the whole back of his head, disruprint the "natural" markings.

Typical Clothing Style: Typically dresses in dark colors. Usually wears very wide legged shorts, which go just below the knee. Can be seen wearing dark colord "band" or "text" shirts (usually with an amusing or weird saying) or something a little more "dressy" which equals more buckels or zippers.
Typically wears boots or some sort, or worn out sandals, with socks.

Special Abilities/Talents: Appears to have the ability to "control darkness". this includes making a room darker. and seeming to beable to "travel" through shadows. It seems the shadow must be big enugh for his head to fit into for him to fit. the full scope of his powers is not yet known.


"Alternate form"= Has been seen to display an alternate form. His eyes turn completly black, almost as if they themselves are noghitn but black holes. His overall posture changes, to that of a "very disturbed man" twitching, and jerky. The shadows seem darker on his body.

Personality:Typically very silly, and not very serious at all. Does know when to get serious. His humor can seem rather dark at times. Can sometimes be a bit harsh in his jokes. Would die for his friends. very careing towards small fuzzy animals.
