VampyristParticipantI am reposting one of my old favorites and one of my few HOTW wins for the current contest.
The Phantom in the Dark. It is my glow warrior who is blindly stumbling through the darkness, running from an unseen phantom. After all, the truly scariest things are left to the imagination.

VampyristParticipantThis is Kyra Downing. She is a british thief who works in the US. She used to have a mystical glove, but she was beaten up by Adam and he took the glove. Kyra spent the next few weeks plotting her revenge and she would get her opportunity. Adam came after her again and despite a valiant effort, he once again emerged triumphant. He also told Kyra of his ideology. He believed that pain was the only way one could see theiir true selves. That pain stripped away the facade, the masks we place on ourselves and showed the truest form of who we are. Kyra had then shown her true self and Adam accepted it. He had given her a purpose. Kyra became his top follower and right hand woman.

VampyristParticipantCody Bishop is a former student of the Institute. Cody had the ability to absorb energy and turn the energy into superstrength or redirect it as energy blasts. He was one of their best and most capable fighters. That is until the day he died. The students had gone to a remote villain’s lair on some remote island. They had won the day, but the villain had booby-trapped the island with explosives, enough to destroy everything within a mile of the island. Even if their plane had left at that moment, the shockwave would still rip the jet to shreds. So Cody did the heroic thing. He sacrifice himself. He set his friends loose and he absorbed the explosion, knowing it was too much and that he would overload. He absorbed it and then he overloaded, the full force of the explosion ripping its way out of him. It would lead to his death, but it gave his friends a few lifesaving seconds to get away.
Overloading didn’t kill Cody immediately. He laid on the remnants of the island for a couple of minutes, dying. Something did come to save him, a demon. It offered Cody a deal, it could use his body in exchange for it saving Cody. Cody was the perfect shell as the demon could stay there indefinitely because Cody’s power would absorb excess energy shed by the demon and not burn out like normal hosts do. Cody reluctantly agreed, but he had a few terms. First of all, was that his body could not be used to harm humans maliciously and that he could be conscious while the demon had control. The demon agreed with the conditions that Cody would never try to remove him and if he did, the demon could have the body forever. Cody was saved and now he does good, but at nights, his body does evil. This duality has taken its toll on Cody, but he still remains who he was before that explosion, a hero for the most part.

VampyristParticipantLiam Roarke is a mutant who has amazing healing properties. As result of his power, his blood can also heal mortal wounds in mere seconds. His blood led to his life becoming a living hell. Various bad guys, labs, or psychopaths wanted Liam to use as their personal hospitals, test subject or pincushion. He spent his teen years being kidnapped amongst various groups and as result, his life fluctuated from being decent to being a living hell. He learned several things during his years as someone’s possession, he learned pain and how to fight. He is now part of the Institute, who liberated him from a lab where mutants were being tested upon. He is now one of their better fighters, expert with a knife, and very capable with his fists as well.

VampyristParticipantBetween the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the ShadowBetween the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the ShadowBetween the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
