"That is Whole. This is Whole.
The Whole arises from the Whole.
Having taken the Whole from the Whole,
Only the Whole remains."
Welcome!
Oh! This is the part where I talk about me? Well…okay! So I grew up in Colorado with my mom. She's the best. Okay, sure. Everyone says their mom is the best, but like…mine really is! She raised me all on her own. Not to mention she is a successful businessperson! Yeah, she is an Herbalist with a shop in town. "Whatever ails ya, she won't fail ya!" Like that? I came up with it. Trying to get t-shirts made, but it's hard to figure out font and…wait. You're still waiting on my background aren't you? My bad! So you know about my mom. Let's see…
I like studying about plants and stuff. It started because my mom was super into it and talked about it all the time, but honestly the stuff is cool and it really works! Then there's yoga. Mom's shop is next to a studio and so I'd just hang out there when she was at work. The Yoga and meditation really helps me stay centered. They teach Taekwondo now too and that's been really awesome to learn! I also really enjoying playing on my djembe drum!
Okay, okay. I can tell you're getting bored. My bad! Time to move onto the whole reason I'm at Coral Springs. Well…some time ago I started noticing something when I was meditating. I know you're supposed to feel grounded and connected, but…this was different. I felt super connected. To something…but I wasn't sure what it was at first. Then, the more I began to focus the more I realized…it was the shadows in the room. The shadows everywhere! Eventually I realized not only could I connect with them, but I could move them. I could make them do things. Move things! It was definitely weird, but in a good way? Obviously I told my mom. She's totally cool with it, because duh she's my mom! But she also wants me to learn how to be safe with it…so now I'm here!
Abilities:
Shadow Manipulation - This is the basic form of Brier's shadow abilities and the first one he discovered. It involves his ability to pull and move shadows from their place of origin towards a target area. He can also manipulate the properties of the shadow to make it more solid and tangible. This helps with basic tasks like moving objects, but does not apply to an attack/defense scenario.
Shadow Defense - This is a secondary level of Brier's shadow abilities, which requires more effort and skill than Manipulation. Should the need for protection arise, Brier can pull the shadow towards himself or another target. From there, it again becomes solid and is able to deflect objects or people who might mean harm. It is meant purely as a defense move though and does not do any damage itself.
Shadow Attack - Intent to do harm. With Shadow Attack, once more the shadow is controlled by Brier to become solid. He can then send the shadow at a target object or person in an attempt to cause damage. This is not an aspect of his powers Brier likes to explore and hesitates to utilize, so the full potential of it is not yet known. For now, the attack comes in the form of either tendrils or a wall of shadow.
Shadow Travel - Discovered out of curiosity, Brier now realizes he has the ability to travel from one location to another using shadow as the connecting path. The limitation to this is, both areas of shadow have to be visible to him. He is unable to travel via an unknown shadow path.
Weakness:
Night Impotency - Most people would assume nighttime would be when Brier's powers are their strongest, but it is quite the opposite. Just as everything else in life requires a balance, so does Brier's connection to shadow. When the sun is out, Brier can connect to all shadows around him and manipulate them accordingly with his abilities. When night falls, he loses this connection and therefore his abilities.
