Name:Torrent/Shinu

Age:19

Height: 6'

Weight: 164

Race: Unknown, human appearance.

Sex: Male

Bio: Abandoned as a child in a snow covered forest, he learned to survive on his own while evading the beowolves. He learned how to control and chenge shadows into physical objects, though only his own, which seems to have been part of his race. He had been driven partially insane due to many years of solitude, causing his mind to fracture into two personalities. One calls himself Torrent and is inquisitive and has little concept of danger or fear. He seems to enjoy the thrill of fighting. The other calls himself Shinu and is cold, unfeeling and focuses on killing whatever is in front of him. He seems to take pleasure from hunting. After seeing a girl in red wipe out the beowolves that tried to attack her, they decided to emulate her.

Fighting style: He has two fighting styles. Torrent uses a normal scythe usually, made out of his shadow. It is as big as the one used by Ruby, but has no gun capabilities. Occasionaly he will switch to armored gauntlets whenever he needs to block a ranged attack. He fights very directly, trying to stay on the attack or dodging. Doesn't kill the people he beats because then he couldn't fight them again. Shinu mainly uses his shadow and clawed gauntlets. He fights more like an animal, on all fours and is extremely fast. He fights stealthly, usually trying to take out arms or legs so that he can hunt them as they try to escape. Will use his scythe for the final blow. It takes about .5 seconds to change his shadow from one form to another.
