Introduction
darkness's peon has no memory of her origin. She doesn't know how she came to be in the Rogue Islands. That's not to say that she is dumb. Far from it. She is quite intelligent. She just simply has no memory of her beginning. Nor does she have any memories of how she came to have the powers she has. Who or what she is has been lost. All she knows is that she now is in the Rogue Islands, and has these powers that she can use.
Identifying Features
darkness's peon is obviously a female, standing about 5 foot tall of slight, petite build. She also has a permanently installed faceplate wrapped around her jaw and nose. This was in place when she came into existence in Rogue Islands. Some have theorized that it is made out of Impervium. She personally has no conscious control over it. Others in the Rogue Islands have, on occasion been able to control this faceplate which can when triggered, temporary seal her mouth, effectively gagging her for a limited period of time.
She also can be identified by the collar that she wears. She also typically wears the outfit similar to that of a Kajir, namely a short open sleeveless vest of black leather, a simple loin cloth of black leather, and her chains. These chains also form an identifying feature as she is never without them, and identify what she is. The collar, outfit, and chains all identify what she really is to those in the know: a slave.
Past and Present Owners/Masters/Mistress
darkness's peon has had several Owner's/Master's/Mistress' over the years since she 'awoke'. The first was Darkness Descendant who met her one day through some contacts she was helping at the time. Descendant gave darkness's peon a name, that of 'Alicia' since she was previously un-named. Shortly after being giving that name, Alicia was lured away by Katanna, who became her next Mistress. darkness's peon served Katanna faithfully for a long time, until a fateful event caused an emotional tear between that could never be healed. She drifted for a little while before becoming into the service of Countess Mercedes.
Countess Mercedes graciously took her in despite the emotional damage when darkness's peon tore herself away from Katanna. Countess Mercedes gave her time and space to allow the wounds to heal and helped pull her together. Again darkness's peon repaid this kindness with loyal service. However over time, the Countess lost her way, and darkness's peon got sweep along and the end result was darkness's peon left Countess Mercedes for Giant Silva.
Currently she is in the service of Giant Silva and the Oddities. After the mess that happened with the dispersal of those serving Countess Mercedes, it was almost a relief to be take up serving Giant Silva. Here was a loving Mistress that she could loyally serve once again, that would take care of her. However, she now has a set of guidelines or rules that she must obey at all times. Giant Silva comes first, if she calls, darkness's peon will drop what she is doing and go to her. Then come the other members of the Oddities. Likewise, she will go if they call her. If not required by those, she is free to assist others in their efforts in the Isles. darkness's peon is extremely loyal to Giant Silva and the Oddities, having served them for some time now and will refuse attempts to lure her away.
Powers
darkness's peon, as her name suggests, is a being of congeal darkness's and shadows given form in the physical world. Hence her powers come from the netherworld, and she is more at home in the shadows. As a direct result of this, her skin is alabaster white - she hardly sees the sun although it does not harm her when she does so. Unlike most villains who seek to hurt others she only wishes to assist them. However due to the leaching nature of her abilities, she is classified as a villain. She takes life-force from her targets, sharing it with those around her. She twists the shadows so that those nearby are cloaked in them. She can command the same shadows to reach out and grab her foes, throw their aim off, and toss them into the air. She is however first and foremost, by nature, support orientated.

- darkness's peon is built more like a defender then a blaster, and adheres to a strict code of conduct, usually.
