Shadows are sources of magic power that can be summoned from a person's own regular shadow, (hence the name).

Origin:

Shadows were reportedly first used by the Ancients. However, a significant minority of Ancients were unable to summon a Shadow which led to them being frequently discriminated against. This discrimination deeply troubled the king, so he decided to make some powerful technology to act as accommodations for Shadow-less individuals. Ironically, a large portion of this tech needed Shadow magic to at least a small degree to work to its best level or even at all.

During the final period of the Ancient times, a large, global war broke out due to many Ancients attempting to quell Shadow magic with the use of even more Shadow magic after many instances of being very power hungry. As a final resort, one side decided to create an artificial creature who's purpose was to end the war. However, this went horribly wrong and the creature, appropriately named Destroy ended up wiping out a majority of the Ancients, making them an endangered species. Most of the surviving Ancients had been placed into status tubes prior to the mass extermination and were thus able to continue living once they awoke in the present day. One particular Ancient named Nene used Ancient technology to conquer, kill and traumatise modern civilisations. However, Nene also began a chain reaction which allowed Shadow magic, which had been dead since the end of the Ancient times to reappear.

Modern Day:

When Nene manipulated a group of five into strengthening parts of his soul in the form of individual Shadows in order to regain his youth, he was ultimately defeated and didn't return until a year later. During that one-year period, many other people (not just humans) managed to learn to summon a Shadow.

Corporeal Forms:

Real Shadows that come directly from a person's soul are capable of temporarily transforming into a corporeal form as long as their wielder has reached a certain level of tension. Corporeal attacks, which are often named after the Shadow, are usually elemental in nature and return a specific amount of Magic Power (based on how much damage has been done to an enemy) to their wielder.

Shadow Classes:

Different types of Shadow Magic exist and these types are categorised into Classes. The two sub-types of Shadow Classes are magical and non-magical. With the former generally involving a higher usage of elemental magic. An interesting exception to these categories is the Magic Sword class, which involves a mixture of physical and magical attributes being used in singular attacks.

Anti-Shadow Technology:

Some forms of tech exist to either disable or completely remove Shadows. Most of these technologies only work against an artificial Shadow such as the Collar of Light. However, others are powerful enough to be used against real Shadows, such as the Egg of Light.

Appearance:

Shadows usually take on the form of a mythical creature or an animal (usually rare or extinct). In rare cases, they may resemble plants or even machines. The colour of a Shadow is dependent on the alignment of their wielder, with good being blue and evil being purple or red. Shadows also tend to wear jewellery somewhere on their body. Their eyes are always entirely red with the exception of the pupil which is black. In Corporeal forms, both the skin/fur and eye colours are unique for each Shadow. All other features, such as horns, are usually black in any form or alignment.

Personality:

Okay so, I always thought Tails looked better orange, (like in the official Japanese artwork of his classic version). So I used a random filter on here to make him look orange lol. https://www.instagram.com/p/CXCB_GDtAv71LsvtgTrNVTQp3bs3vy3CzDfeQ80/?utm_medium=tumblr
