Birthday: april 5th
Sexuality:Homosexual
Special Characteristics: none

Personality: Shade is the kind of person who rarely speaks when it isn't necessary. He is indeed very quiet, and not one to mince his words. He prefers to show his thought through his actions rather than his words. Shade doesn't like talking to other people much, which is why he has few friends. He keeps to himself, never asking anything of anyone unless he absolutely needs it. Shade is a secretive person, and the kind who holds many mysteries. Most of what he cares about is keeping his guild alive and together. He doesn't believe in unesscessary emotions, so even when he does have some of his own he hides them beneath a mask of complete calm. He hates to show emotion, thinking it can be weak and foolish. But when he does decide he cares about a person, he gives them his whole heart, and would do anything for them. It seems that whenever he enters combat, he causes fighting and destruction among the ranks of the enemy.

In combat, he is just as quiet as he normally is. He doesn't taunt an enemy, or say anything, really, unless he is giving instructions to an ally. He prefers to work alone in combat most of the time. he rarely takes allies, thinking they will only slow him down. he doesn't do this because he thinks he is more powerful than them, or because he knows better, but simply because he doesn't want someone else to watch the back of. He watches his own back but doesn't like having to watch anyone else's back. He is calm and collected as can be while in combat, though he loses it if anyone happens to bring out snakelike powers, as he has a rather irrational fear of snakes. He always gets back up, never stays down unless he is completely immobilized and there is absolutely no possibility of getting up.

As a leader he gives orders methodically, and normally is able to get people to do as he wishes without much struggle. they recognize he is serious when he speaks, and respect that enough to listen to what he is saying. Shade is capable of giving orders or following them, it matters not to him. As long as the task at hand is completed, he cares not whether he is giving the orders or receiving them. Since he simply doesn't care, he is the perfect follower, always able to carry out orders without making a huge fuss.

In his free time he can normally be found reading in his room or training his swordsmanship skills. He wants to sharpen his skills until they are superior to all, unable to be matched by even the greatest of foes. If he wasn't careful he would more like than not train until he collapsed, unable or unwilling to stop himself. Shade prefers to be knowledgeable, which is why he reads so much in his free time. He wants to know as much as possible so he can keep living life to the fullest possible extent, always able to understand what he is hearing. Nothing matters more to him than three things: Becoming a master swordsman, his guild, and knowledge. He hungers for knowledge, to be the best swordsman he could possibly be, and to make his guild as great as it can possibly be.
