My name has nothing to do with my powers....you should know that already other me. (Shadow Man explaining his powers to me)
Backstory[]
Shadow Man just like me was reincarnated and he is my other life in a different multiverse. He was born in a strange world where superpowers do exist but fictional characters are not real in his multiverse. At least that is what it seems turns out certain EXEs existed in his world but due to how rare it is to encounter them. As for Shadow Man himself he didn't always had his powers he was just a normal human until one day he gained a mysterious package that contains a disc which is a Pc Port of Sonica The Hedgehog. (Yes to fit the narrative of female yanderes I have to include some genderbend. Don't worry they are close to the original as possible in terms of personality.) Out of pure curiosity he decided to play it.....and that was a massive mistake. Turns out that disk was a gateway to another dimension and he was forced to play a dangerous game. Once he got trapped inside he was broken.....just like that.
Timeskip to 30 years into the future he was trapped in this twisted dimension for so long and suffering in the hands of this female demon it got to the point where he wondered if he will ever go back home. He couldn't stop crying until one day something unexpected happen. A massive incident that warped all dimensions gave the boy powers and he finally was able to create an interdimensional portal to escape that realm. However upon his escape he entered into another multiverse where he is other life reside in and he was able to somewhat fit in. However due to his dark past he prefers to stay in the shadows and never interact with anyone else ever again.
That is why his name is Shadow Man because he isolates himself from others and prefer to stay in the shadows. It is also a safety precaution because the sad part about his past is that he can no longer trust anyone. However Shadow Man still wants to help people so he has also been a secret hero and is always wearing his mask. Another part of him is that he is very attached to his mask because despite being free he still has a heavy amount sadness in his heart. So he puts it on to feel better because he feels different. He has a cooler head, a lot more focus, and actually a lot more happier.
Eventually he met me and along with his other lives. He was confused at first but once he realized they are him in multiple incarnations within the reincarnation cycle he started to take care of them. Considering them as family and being the leader of the group despite my disliking of that idea. As of now he mainly hangs around in a tree house I made for him with my reality warping powers.
Personality[]
Shadow Man is a very complicated person as he can switch from sadness to happiness very quickly. However it heavily depends on rather he has his mask on or not. When his mask is on he becomes serious being very calculating and sometimes cold. However he can still show joy and happiness however when his mask is forcibly removed then his personality changes. Once he loses the mask he loses his composure, he becomes filled with anxiety, sadness begins to amplify. Although he will still have his very determined nature it's just his attacks will become less accurate and determination can quickly fade. However overall he is a great leader and can be overconfident when he has the mask on. To the point where he was able to take Ludwig's status as leader due to him being more level headed than me.
Appearance[]
Note he does not have a tail.
Powers and Abilities[]
Human Physiology/Superior: As said before Shadow Man is a superhuman that gained powers involving dimensions,velocity, and Vectors. He is considered one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse and is able to go toe to toe with the most dangerous beings out there. Even to the point with Ludwig's help he was able to mortally wound Cartoon Creature outside of his realm.
Dimensional Manipulation: He can create, shape and manipulate dimensions, or at the very least dimensional barriers, alternate "spaces" often filled with other worlds, which collectively tend to make up multi/omniverses. This also includes manipulation and linking to alternate dimensions and dimensional energy to achieve a variety of feats, such as teleportation, portal generation, and pocket dimension creation. This is how he travels through various dimensions and even outright destroy them. He can basically manipulate the complex dimensional structures of the multiverse and can even manipulate places like the Negative Realm.
Velocity Manipulation: The Shadow Man can create, shape, and manipulate the velocity of any moving object: the speed and direction an object is moving. They could simply move things around: by controlling their velocity, they could fly; cancel object velocity to make it freeze where it is, and even use velocity as a sort of force blast, blasting things away at high speeds. He once use this to make himself fast enough to cross the entire universe in one second which is a lot bigger than our universe.
Vector Manipulation: He can manipulate vectors: a fundamental concept in physics and mathematics representing quantities characterized by both magnitude and direction. Vector manipulation encompasses many potential applications, ranging from force and velocity to acceleration vectors. Vectors are pivotal for several fields, including engineering, physics, and applied mathematics. Vectors exhibit significant versatility and are integral to numerous scientific theories and technological applications. With vector manipulation, the user uncovers an extensive spectrum of potent abilities, both practical and theoretical. At a basic level, he may exhibit rudimentary capabilities in vector manipulation, such as alteration of velocity (both speed and direction) of objects or themselves. For example, they could instantaneously accelerate a stationary object or change its direction, akin to telekinesis. The Shadow Man can apply force vectors to physically move or manipulate objects, akin to pushing or pulling them without physical contact. They may also generate vector fields, influencing the direction and magnitude of quantities within a specific area. He can manifest an aura within which all vectors can be exploited, altering projectiles' or individuals' movement direction or speed. Progressing to an advanced level, he changes into a "professional" in vector manipulation, capable of altering more sophisticated vectors, including acceleration, momentum, or even abstract vectors as utilized in linear algebra's vector spaces. For instance, he could change the acceleration of a rapidly moving vehicle or alter momentum vectors to stop a bullet in its tracks. Such an individual can influence vectors on a grander scale, causing complex and widespread changes to vector fields around them and achieving an extensive understanding of vector principles across disparate scientific fields. At the ultimate level, he became a master or even a deity within their field. They can control all physical quantities that are vectorial, such as electric fields, magnetic fields, gravitational fields, or any physical field. For example, a master user could manipulate electric field vectors to control electrical charges, modify magnetic field vectors to influence magnetic objects, or even adjust gravitational vectors to manipulate gravity. He would be able to handle virtually any phenomena characterized by vectors. A profound understanding of vector manipulation can grant control over complex technologies and concepts, potentially extending their influence across continental, planetary, cosmic, galactic, or universal scales. In rare and extreme circumstances, he might manipulate the very fabric of reality, considering that many physical theories are expressed using vectors. The limit of such power is defined solely by his comprehension and creativity with this mathematical construct.
Attack Reversal: Thanks to his mastery over vectors he can reverse any attack (from long range attacks to melee) launched at them back at their opponent. The attack reversed can become stronger, faster, or both. Which makes it the ultimate defense to the point where he can reverse abstract attacks like reality warping.
Aversion Field: He can create an area surrounding him and his allies that repels/redirects attacks away from them, causing things like explosive blasts, projectiles such as bullets and arrows or even physical blows to split, curve or even deform to avoid damaging (or maybe even touching) the protected target. More powerful aversion fields can protect him from any form of harm, repelling poison or other supernatural abilities, resulting in him basically being invulnerable.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Thanks to his vectors the Shadow Man can reverse any damage his body takes even if you bypass his defenses. He can regenerate from any mortal wound that would have killed a normal person. This healing factor is what gives him some form of immortality and is able to live for many years to come. His biggest feat was able to regenerate from a giant hole in his chest.
Perception/Supernatural: His perceptive abilities are glaringly, obviously, super/unnaturally superior to others, allowing for superhuman analytical and observational skills as well as a keen eye for details, beyond normal limitations of their species because their capabilities are pushed beyond the natural level, making their perception immensely more powerful than any regular being. This is how he is able to accurately manipulate his vectors and other people's vectors. This way he can always get the desired effect when he uses his powers such as regeneration for example.
Adaptive Mind: The Shadow Man can adapt mentally to any situation/condition/event/environment, never being caught off guard in sudden changes, and instantly reacting to new situations. They instantly and automatically analyze and understand any environment or situation, and deduce the most optimal course of action, allowing them to make the right decision in all situations.
Weaknesses[]
Tends to be very overconfident which can cost him eventually and also if someone removes his mask he immediately lose his composure. While his adaptive mind no longer working for him when he loses the mask. Which can lead him to be very vulnerable. However it should be noted it's very hard to remove the mask and it is rare to catch him off guard.
