The time is now, the day is today, and the world as you know it, is nothing like it is.

We have no idea of the true amounts of specialized radiation that are emitted from the sun. There is enough, in the right form, to blow us all apart, as though we were in an industrial microwave. But it's a special form, we have not yet learnt how to discover. The radiation, combined with the light rays does something quite funny, we can't figure out what.

That isn't quite true.

There are people who have discovered the effect of this radiation. And how to use it. They studied and studied until finally one day making the connection. The radiation and the light form shadows. Obviously. But this radiation breaks the shadow, making it into a slit between this world, and the world of shade. However, this knowledge was not enough to be able to pass into this world. They needed to find a way how.

They were looking for a what. They found a who.

A boy, whose mother was overexposed to radiation from the sun, gave birth to a power. He could, with enough will pass through the worlds slit and into the shadow world. And these scientists abducted him, and forced him to travel and gather results for him. But for them one person was just not enough.

The shadow world was similar to ours, but people have vcery little perspective, values, or morals. Even emotions are lacking there. People get by, and get by however they can. Places have a funny way of looking similar on both sides, and events that happen on one, happen in some form in the other. Unless a traveler can change that.

There were more than just that one boy, who gained such enormous powers. They were everywhere. However, the scientists are constantly hunting for them. And now, thanks to the first boy, they even have their contacts in the world of shade.

You, being born a traveler, must find out your own destiny, while avoiding these cruel scientists. All the while trying to figure out what links these worlds together.

Name: Jack Farson

Age: 17

Appearance: Jack is tall and dark, his black hair, and dark blue eyes give him a feel of shadow no matter what side he's on. He dresses mostly in denim, and wears a denim jacket, that turns to leather in the shade.

Discovering of power: Jack was very young and was bring picked on by a bully in the heat of the summer, during reccess. He dived into his shadow, honestly believing it was a portal to another world, and fell through. And from that moment on, he never really wanted to go back. He has constantly avoided his problems, and made several contacts in the shade realm because of his constant being there.

WoC: A small black stone, that can call small shades in both realms.

Other: Jack spends more time in the sahdow world then in the normal. A weakness some would say.

Name: Amata
Age: 18
Appearance: She has long, wavy light brown hair that stops at the small of her back. The left side of her hair always covers her left eye, unless she is excited or in an especially happy mood. She has icy blue eyes and she has pale skin. She is tall and slim. She does not have curves like a mature woman.

Discovering of power: While on her own without her parents for the first time, she became homeless, desperate and horribly sad. She wandered the streets in search of money. While exploring a homeless shelter, she met this crazy old lady who told her about the shadows and how they are a portal to another world. Curious to see if she could find a better, happier place, she dove into her shadow, not wanting to go back to her original world ever again.

WoC or special items: A necklace with a bronze medallion at the end. One side has the silhouette of a human and the other side has the shape of a ghost. The old, crazy woman gave it to her before she left.

Other: Amata never went back to the normal world after she entered the shadow world for the first time. Almost never positive. She always has this feeling of 'impending doom'.

Is this okay? (:

Name: Maggie Marvalo

Age: 19

Appearance: http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m348/Puppylover22_2008/short%20black%20hair/250lg0x.jpg

Maggie is short-ish about 5'6", with dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her outfit varies, but she usually wears jeans and a girly type shirt.

Discovering of power: Maggie found her powers in a strip mall. She had a job at an expensive jewelery store and was talking to a customer when a large man in black came running in, demanding the money and a couple of diamonds. At first everyone refused, until he pulled out a gun, the manager pressed the silent alarm while Maggie ran to the back room, freaking out, wishing she was anywhere but there. She happened to pass through a shadow and bam, into the shadow world she went.

WoC or special items: The ring she was holding as she ran into the shadow the first time. She was showing it to the customer but in the hecticness she was still holding it as she ran away. Its a bright blue sapphire in the shape of a rose.

Other: Maggie goes to both the shadow world and the real world as she pleases. She has residence in both, and has even made a little of a name for herself in the shadow world, being notorious for being more stubborn and strong-willed than any other shadow person-which is a hard feat to accomplish.

Name: Jaimie Conoway.
Age: Fifteen.
Appearance: Jaimie. (http://i892.photobucket.com/albums/ac122/sleep_remedy/My%20Male%20RPCs/I__ll_keep_you_in_my_pocket__by_sak.jpg)
Discovering of power: Well, these things always seem to happen at the most ridiculous time. So, of course, Jaimie was rushing to school one day, knowing he would be late. But, at the same time, the more childish part of his mind was begging to be running in the opposite direction, being that school was the most dreaded and evil place he could fathom at that moment. And, just as his foot faltered and his cowardly side almost won out, he ran through a long thin shadow cast by a telephone pole. When he foot slapped the pavement again, it was no longer bright and brisk, but dark and chilled. He had stepped into the Shade.
WoC or special items: His headphones.
Other: Low self-confidence. Strong will to live.

[[What does WoC stand for? ='D]]
