Distinguishing Features

Shades is usually recognized (when seen) by his sunglasses. He is always wearing them. He also carries a pair of knives anywhere he goes. The knives change as he needs new ones, but currently he's found he likes gladii and the short curved knives used by Redcaps.

Personality

Aden is pretty much amoral. If something is in his way, he kills it. He doesn't like killing, but he doesn't dislike it either. It's usually a simple solution to a problem. He's beginning to learn to deal with feelings, and it's a struggle for him to learn to care about anything but his own hide.

He prefers to remain invisible to people, until he is needed to talk or he is in a fight (see below). When he was younger he stayed invisible all the time as a survival mechanism. Now it's become habit. Dealing with others isn't his strong suit, so he avoids problems by just not being seen. He's also found you can learn a lot more when no one thinks you are around.

Powers

"Stepping Sideways"

Aden is a natural human, with one simple ability. It isn't known if it is magic, mutation, or something else that allows him to "step sideways" as he puts it. He disappears at will. When he has to concentrate on something else, such as fighting, his ability slips and he re-appears. It's not known if it's emotions, willpower, or attention span that causes this to slip. He simply fades in and out of sight while he fights.

Things he carries also become invisible. If he picks up a small crate, or some other object, they are visible, until they fade away like he does.

He can also allow only certain parts of himself to show, if he concentrates. He occasionally does a Cheshire Cat impression, fading in or out, but leaving a smile behind (or an arm, or knife, or his whole head)

Knife Fighting

Aden has been using knives to fight with since he was orphaned. He's hunted Snakes most of his life as they killed his mother, making him an orphan. Since Snakes carry bladed weapons, and the swords tended to be too big, he used the knives he could get from the Snakes. Over the years, he's honed his ability to fight with most any knife he can get his hands on. He has no special attachment to any particular knife, Only what is at hand when he needs something to fight with.

As a result of this long history fighting snakes, Aden tends to group all lizard types with them, whether they be dragon, snake, lizardman or other derivative.

Other Abilities

Aden carries a small bag with hallucinogenic powder in it, given him by Sadie. He uses it if he's alone and has too many people to deal with at one time in a fight. It doesn't affect him, as Sadie made it designed with him in mind. It's not as potent as hers is, but that's due to the way it had to be grown for him.

Aden also carries with him a bag of caltrops, after seeing how effective they are. He also uses them when outnumbered and in need of a quick distraction.

Weaknesses and Limitations

Aden cannot hide himself from magical detection. This tends to make others doubt his invisibility is magical in origin. He's been caught by the Midnight Club on trying to enter without permission, and has been caught by Vangaurd as well. He can hide from video cameras, and from personal observation, but if he becomes too distracted, he can become visible.

Trivia

Aden will help people on occasion, but never lets anyone see it. He'll pick things up in a store and drop them where the person he is helping will find it.
