He is stronger, faster, tougher than a mortal.<br/>Supernaturally tough: In his true form, non magic attacks are much less effective against him. Bullets and knives just annoy him, but enough of them will still hurt. He is able to regenerate wounds while in the darkness. In human form, he is still tougher than a normal mortal, but not to the same extent.<br/>Darkness control: Sam can draw shadows and darkness around himself, fashioning and shaping it into armour, weapons, wings and so on. He can see perfectly well in the darkness, and hide in shadows you'd swear couldn't conceal a large dog, let alone something over 7 feet tall.<br/>Living Darkness: He is able to animate the darkness into small, vicious minions with limited morphing ability (claws, wings etc). They have the same weaknesses to light as he does.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses: </strong><br/>True name: Knowing the true name of a demon allows you to control them. Of course, finding it out is the hard part. Even Sam doesn't know it right now.<br/>Sunlight: Sam's powers are weaker during the day, much stronger at night. He finds very sunny days particularly irritating and wears sunglasses to protect his eyes.<br/>True Faith: Malcarion finds it difficult to be around holy places and those who truly believe in the faith they profess. This ranges from irritating discomfort to 'need to get away from here right the fuck now', depending on the strength of the source.<br/><br/><br/><hr/><strong>Affliction</strong>Good (tending towards AntiHero)<br/><strong>Job Role</strong>Hero<br/><strong>Role</strong>Student<br/><hr/><em>Personality</em>Sam has the innate confidence and presence of one raised to power and privilege, though generally prefers not to put himself forwards unless he has to. He is relatively sociable but seems to prefer not to let people get too close to him at present. Some of the stuff he is seen doing ... for example, apparently holding one-sided conversations with the air ... are starting to develop a reputation for him among those who don't realize who and what he is.<br/><br/>Having turned his back on his family, and using a fake ID set up by a college contact, he's enrolled here to try and forge his own destiny.<br/><br/><em>History</em>Sam belonged to a minor branch of one of the big name, old money and power families. Well, an apparently minor branch, but actually they were the power behind the throne. They are a bloodline of magic users, who use their abilities to secure yet more wealth and power for the family (or trade their talents to other similar groups).<br/><br/>His upbringing was sheltered, but when he got to college he reveled in his newfound freedom, doing things he knew his family wouldn't approve of, and hanging around with what they would consider unsavory types. He also fell in love for the first time, though he kept this a secret from his family.<br/><br/>Seeking yet more power, his family devised a ritual to bind a powerful demon to them, choosing Sam as the host. The ritual was to be sealed with a human sacrifice, a small price to pay as far as his family was concerned. The sacrifice in question turned out to be the girl Sam had fallen in love with. Unable to stop the ritual, he could only watch helplessly, a prisoner in his own body as she was murdered. Somehow though, this was enough to disrupt the ritual, and Sam was finally able to break free.<br/><br/>He left his family home in flames, those of the family who had been involved in the ritual dead, and fled into the night. As far as any of the rest would know, the ritual was a failure and he was one more body lying among the ruins.<br/><br/>Finally aware of just what price was paid for the power and privilege he'd been raised with, he is now trying to turn his powers to good. Of course, his passenger does make that a bit tricky at times.<br/><br/><em>On's/off's</em>As per player<br/><em>Player</em>HairyHeretic<br/>
