===POWERS===

Darkforce manipulation: Since its infusion Krious's body is a conduit for Darkforce energies and he is able to manipulate them in several manners. He can only hold a certain amount of energy at a time, but it rapidly recharges after use. He can spend energy in order to perform the following feats:

• Create small portals into the Darkforce dimension. These portal only open for split seconds and only non-living things can pass through. He mostly uses this for projectile defense.
  
• Charge his weaponry in order to make them able to slice through solid reinforced steel or fire a crescent projectile of energy forward with a slicing motion. He can also charge his own limbs to make them project small amounts of kinetic force on every blow or kick.
  
• Shroud himself in Darkforce energy to make his position less obvious, this only really works in dark places since a moving dark cloud stands out in the middle of the day.
  

Teleportation: Through Darkforce energies Krious is able to teleport himself, and to some extent who/what he is holding onto (limited to one person, several objects), towards another position nearby. His body will rapidly dissolve into a cloud of dark matter and instantly reappear in the same manner on the chosen position. Any physical object or being he comes into contact with him after starting the jump will cause it to fail, but keep in mind this only takes mere seconds to perform. A large number of teleports in rapid succession will wear him out quickly and he can only travel as far as his eyes can see. Blindly teleporting to a location is possible, but very life-threatening and only a last resort.

Cybernetic Limbs & Implants: Krious's limbs have been replaced by cybernetic counterparts, both to enhance his combat abilities and keep the Darkforce energies in his remaining body at a non-lethal level. At first these limbs were regular steel, but the constant stream of Darkforce energy corrupted it and formed it into nearly indestructible Darksteel. They are able to bend in very unnatural ways, and as for their effect on his abilities, Krious has improved Strength, Speed and Endurance, although that last doesn't count for his non-cybernetic parts. He's able to smash through concrete walls, lift cars up in the air, is able to survive greater falls and run about twice the speed of a human being. His swords have been integrated into his arms but lack the flexibility of his previous swords, since they're only able to protrude forward and lack any hand guards for efficient parrying.
He also features some minor implants in order to control his Darkforce energy levels, his eyes have been replaced with artificial ones that grant him low-light vision and finally he has a subvocal communicator device implanted that let's him communicate with others without actually making a sound. Note that all of these cybernetic parts, while partially resistant, are vulnerable to EMP and alike. He will always stay mobile, but most advantages from his non-human parts disappear.

Not really a power but I thought I'd mention this here. Krious has the uncanny ability to sense incoming danger. This hardly works all the time, but if he tells you he's got a bad feeling about something you'd do well to listen to him.
 

===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===

Likes: Darkness and night time. Being right about something. Modern technology (Be it computers, robots, security system, anything high tech) Chess. Chinese food.

Dislikes: Society in general (It failed him, why should he care). Being wrong about something. He can't stand losing.

Weaknesses: EMP can shut down his cybernetic parts. Tends to overestimate himself on anything, and therefore underestimates his opponents. He's good, but he's far from unbeatable. If he does happen to lose, or something bad happens that he didn't account for, he'll get agitated at the very least.

Skills: Expert hacker. Used to act as an information broker, and still pretty adept at gather it. Knows his way around anything that runs on some sort of electronic device.

Equipment: Some sort of scanning/hacking device.

Habits/Quirks: N/A.

Personality: Calm, Cold and Calculative are the three C's used to describe Krious. He's also a perfectionist; things can always be done better and more efficient. His policy is to know as much as possible about what he's facing, knowledge is power.

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

This is the history of the original Krious. Evil Krious has gone through a similar path in his life and much of this is applicable on his history. I left out the Titans/Slivers part since it shouldn't make much difference.

Family: Alistair Family Line (Last Descendant)
Place of Origin: Gotham City
History: At a young age Krious was captured by a secretive group conducting experiments on human beings. These experiments involved injections with Darkforce energy, which normally proves fatal on contact. For unknown reasons Krious's body was highly resistant to these effect and he was one of the few subjects who made it to the final stages. Every subject developed unique abilities, his own was the purest form of darkforce manipulation. He could influence the energy levels within his body, and gradually learned to use that energy in several ways. Once he found out he could actually enter the Darkforce dimension that the energy came from and emerge somewhere else he made multiple attempts to escape the facility. Eventually this caused him to be locked up in solitary and without a visual way out he was stuck there.
One of the few other still surviving subjects could project his thoughts into another beings mind and see the world around him through a sonar like sense that used low amounts of Darkforce particles he could spread out himself. The boy had gone blind years back, so nobody knew if this was a deliberate mutation of his powers or not, it only served to show how adaptive Darkforce could be. Next to Krious he was the most promising kid they had at the facility. Eventually he found Krious with his powers and the two spent their days talking to each other through their minds. This was the only contact they had outside their room for a long time, but once in a while it felt like a third person was listening in on them.

At around the age of 10, his date of birth was unknown to him at the time, they finally found an opportunity to escape. To their surprise the building was desolated, every room was empty or showed signs of struggle. Krious followed the instructions of his friend to the letter and managed to find and free him. The two of them carefully moved through the building in search of an exit, never encountering anything other than silence. They found one past an unlocked security checkpoint, but once they passed through the silent alarm was raised. Armed men from the corporation’s private security detail stormed in and immediately opened fire. The young inexperienced Krious was barely able to keep himself safe from all the bullets flying around and was unable to save his friend. The sudden anger combined with grief forced him to destroy everything and everyone in the room. This was the first step down his path.

From that day on Krious was plagued by nightmares, forcing him to relive that day in a variety of ways many, many times. All the people that died in that building were innocent, murdered in a cover up, and he was the only one with blood directly on his hands. After a lot of wandering around he decided to see the word, find some serenity or meaning in life. During these travels he met his first, and for a long time only, friend Emblem Trailblazer.

Years later Krious appeared back on the grid in Jump City, following a lead that could shed some light on his past. The Gotham Esper Investigation Institute (In short: GEII) was conducting research and testing similar to what was done to force his powers onto him. It all was far too familiar to let go. Meeting up with Emblem by chance he asked him for help, as two stood a better chance then one. Emblem agreed an together they brought the organization to it's knees before exposing the real threat behind it. The GEII was led by a group of powerful meta-humans, four to be precise, all with a different set of powers and abilities. A great battle ensued between the two groups and eventually they managed to cut their opposition down to two persons.

The enigmatic mind-mage Minerva, whom was revealed to have staged Krious's escape from the facility in order to test his abilities, was his final opponent. Forced to endure illusion after illusion and see things deeply buried away inside his mind. The fight uncovered a lot about his past, his family and he learned that Krious wasn't just his codename.

Emblem was forced to fight the Necromancer Alastor, who was the leader of the GEII, who also had great influence on his past. The necromancer needed lifeforce of other living beings, and Emblem's village was one he passed through to still his hunger. After a long battle both were defeated, and the whole headquarters blown to tiny pieces. Both men had suffered significant blows, both physically and mentally, and left scars that never truly healed.






Codename: Dark Matter

Bio:
During his time with the H.I.V.E he's rarely seen without his mask outside of the academy. Most villains don't know the shadowmancer's true identity even without the mask covering his face but there are several amongst the heroes that do. He also has a tendancy of not talking while he's wearing the mask and preferring to use as few words as possible when he does.

Inside the academy he's a bit more open to other people, yet protecting his true identity still has top priority. He generally likes teaching students new things as long as they show an interest. You will not find him friendly when you waste his time.

Likes: Punctuality, Promising students, Practical lessons, Hindering those he deems unworthy.
Dislikes: Chaos in his class, Reporting to the higher-ups, being questioned.

Good to see you back to RPing as well Krious
