Powers

While the time since becoming a Shadowed One has been brief, Thompson has experienced several new ablities.

-Shadowed form. With merely a second's concentration, Thompson is capable of making his clothes and any other small items on his person vanish and be replaced by a solid black costume. The outfit is one seamless piece of cloth that can only be removed by Thompson's mental command to revert to his original form. Where the mass of his clothes and belongings are shunted to during the transformation is unknown at this time.

-Enchanted Staff. While in his Shadowed form, Thompson carries a length of hickory in a leather strap across his back. The staff, like Thompson, has had the Spell of the Shadows cast upon it. The powers of the staff are something of a mystery at this point in time. However, it is far more durable than normal wood and quite possibly unbreakable. Where the mass of the staff is taken to while Thompson is in his original form is currently a mystery.

-Enhanced Abilities. So far, Thompson has been noticing a slight increase in all of his abilities, both physical and mental. The increase seems to be based upon the effort Thompson puts forth with an attribute. Thus if Thompson worked hard enough in a weight-room, for example, his strength and stamina would raise at an accelerated rate and theoretically reach well past normal human standards.

-Communication Sphere. Shortly after being granted his powers, Thompson was entrusted with a crystal sphere roughly the size of a golfball. A magic spell is on orb that allows it to send and receive auditory stimuli to and from an identical sphere held by David Whitman. The sphere is very durable and is uneffected by Thompson's transformation.

Skills

Despite the initial impression many get from his intimidating build and sometimes crass attitude, Robert Thompson is a remarkably talented computer programmer who holds a Master's Degree in Computer Science. His minor in college was French and he speaks the language fluently. For enjoyment, Thompson engages in weightlifting regularly to maintain his impressive physique.

History

Robert Thompson was first brought into the picture when his best friend, David Whitman, was engaged in an experiment in sorcery that actually worked. It was at this point that the two learned of the whereabouts of the Spirits and the cataclysm due to fall upon the Realms. He agreed to have the Spell of the Shadows cast upon him more out of loyalty to Whitman than anything else. He then took part in the founding of the Stone Hawks and has become a staunch supporter of the team's goal to safeguard Creation.

Thompson is a very open and friendly person. He has that "one-of-the-guys" charm that lets most people warm up to him quickly, though his crude sense of humor can be something of a turnoff to some folks. His closest friend is David Whitman who Thompson has known since childhood. Thompson sees it as his personal duty to stay laid-back to offset Whitman's serious demeanor. More times than can be counted, he has been an anchor and confidant to Whitman.
