(For this one, I'm creating one new character, putting Charles in the home for characters I love too much to let die, and modifying my character's history ever so slightly.)
Name: Thadius Shadowbender. A.K.A Thad, Experiment 85.
Age: Nobody has bothered to find out.
History: Thadius was a normal human being. He really had been, but his dad and mom didn't get along too well. When his mom died in a car wreck, it devastated him, but what really got to him was what his dad did later. The next morning, his dad took everything but what was in Thad's room and left, which was a very cruel prank.
Thad wandered the streets for a while, making one friend. They watched each other's backs and took care of the other when they got injured. One time they both got in a fight with people they'd never seen before. Blood was spilt, their blood. A week later, men in white coats calmly showed up and tranquilized the two.
Thad woke up in an institute dedicated to observing genetic anomalies, of which he was one. He was fed, cared for, had a warm bed to sleep on, and even had his friend nearby. What he didn't know was that a chemical in the food that he had been eating was working it's way into his cells and activating the genomes. Barely a week after being in the institute, Thad and his friend fell ill.
Two days later, as the sun set, Thad's fever broke, and he began to walk around. As the night wore on, he became stronger, but felt the strength depart as dawn neared. He left a message for when his friend recovered, stating a desire to see him. Curiously enough, his friend got better the dawn after Thad recovered. The two quickly found out that their sleep cycles were out of sync and that the likelihood of them meeting again was low.
Thad's break-out occurred when he overheard one of the doctors refer to him as 'Experiment 85.' His anger got out of control, and before he knew it, he was choking the doctor with a tendril of darkness formed seemingly out of nothing. He went next door, where he saw the plaque 'Experiment 86' hanging on the door of his friend. Thad commanded the shadows to pick up his friend and follow after him.
A few days later, Thad and his friend showed up on the doorstep of the Eon Institute of Higher Learning and offered their services. Thad offered his at nighttime as part of the night shift, while his friend offered his similarly during the daytime. His friend quickly gained the name Apogee, while Thadius went mostly unknown.
Thad learned quickly that if he was to be in the Eon Institute for very long, he'd have to present some face during the day, and as such, he always made his last act during the night shift a shape-shifting of himself. He would gather what power he had left and turn into the school cat, which slept for a good eight hours during the day, and only woke up at about 4pm, to take over from his friend in time. Hardly anyone knows of this secret of his...
