Name: Shade Dreadnight

Race: Human/Bat Hybrid

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Appearance: During the day, Shade looks like an average man his age, aside from a few small differences, he has large triangular bat like ears that he can rotate, flatten, or prick up depending on the situation. He also has fangs and short claws. Shade's toes are long and strong allowing him to grip objects, people, and allowing him to hang upside down. His wings normally stay folded along his arms during the day.

At night Shade's appearance changes, anything that isn't covered in clothes is covered by black fur, his fangs and claws lengthen and his voice turns to a growl like tone. The skin not covered by fur or clothes such as his face and hands turn black to match his fur.

His eyes are a deep brown looking almost black at times, and he wears a dark green harness allowing him to carry a friend on his flights. He flies through the city at night, his fur allowing him to blend into the darkness, and he is known as the fastest flying hybrid.

History: Shade was adopted by his parents after being found on their doorstep at age 2. He was raised in the city of Whitewing and became it's protector at age 13. By that time no one in the city except for a select few, knew what Shade really was. After meeting a few other hybrids, Shade learned from a dream that he and his friends were part of a legend, that two hybrids of bird and two hybrids of beast would be led to destiny by the one who lives in between.

After they went to fulfill that legend they disappeared, waiting to be called back by the heart of the ones they love. Shade was called back by his friend April and he proposed to her at the age of 21. Shortly afterwards his birth father Drekamond died after explaining that he was only alive o make sure Shade fulfilled the legend. A month or two afterwards April gave birth to twins, the girl they called Hannah and the boy they called Jaymond in memory of Drekamond.

Shade still protects his city even though they all know about hybrids, but he often travels outside the city to learn more about the world. No matter how far he goes he will always return back home.

Personality: Shade is friendly, though he often appears cross, he is sometimes quick to laugh and has a great sense of humor. But when the situation calls for it, he will become protective and aggressive often putting himself in danger as a result. Shade loves his family and will do anything he can to protect them. All in all though, Shade is happy, energetic and often mischievous. 

Weakness: Shade cannot tolerate high pitch noise because of his sensitive hearing. If exposed to it too long he will grow extremely aggressive often lashing out at the source of the noise to silence it. Shade also becomes extremely tired if he is forced to use up a ton of energy at one time. Being forced away from the ones he loves especially if hey are in danger weakens him greatly until he retaliates.

Abilities: Because of his bat appearance, Shade also has certain abilities, he has night vision and can use echolocation, though he can see without it perfectly fine. Shade is a special hybrid because he carries a rare ability, he has full hybrid form that appears wen his energy is at a very critical level, it increases his strength, speed, agility, and endurance all while restoring his energy slowly. He tries not to revert to this because he is still learning control of it and does not want to hurt anyone by accident. He can witch in and out of his night form at will during the day, but has no choice once the sun goes down. He goes back to normal when the sun rises.
