“Hmf. So tell me again, WHY do I need to be present for this, master?” Shadow huffed out indignantly as Black Doom made himself present within the Black Comet’s main hall. The ebony hedgehog/alien hybrid had finally given in to his TRUE origins, to the latent powers within him that were only released thanks to the Black Arms and, more specifically, Black Doom’s tempering of his mind. Reminding him of who he was, where he came from... and what the HUMANS had done to him and his former friends. The disgust Shadow held over the humans was enough to make him choose sides quickly.

“Your presence is required, Shadow, for this is to be the unveiling of our newest creation. One that is of utmost importance to you.” the tone of the Black Arms leader was full of... something resembling pride. Shadow did not like that he spoke so proudly over something that wasn’t him, but he would roll with the punches for now as he just scoffs softly. The hive-mind merely crosses his arms behind his back. “There’s no need to be indignant, Shadow. This will merely be a quick introduction.”

Technology was the key to creation and modification, and the more one knew of the craft as well as the way...the unique the sort seeking to bargain. Despite the terrifying presence caused by those that met the Fear Eater race as a combative whole, it was a rarity for them to allow their ancient technology be used. This one such moment of a rarity had come, and it was to be done in a form of helping one that was part of a violent race.

Lights begin to flicker on with a neon green, offering little reveal in what seems to be a building of constant darkness. A dark hallway began to flicker with light now and again, a beak masked figure walked through this hallway. Each time the lights returned it seemed like the entity moved faster in the darkness, stopping only after reaching the fifth door down the hall.

Was it time to check up on those dark Chao? Yup, seems like it. Holly was going back to the abandoned power plant, with a bag strapped onto her back filled with fruits and whatever else that Chao eat. Spat tried getting into the food but to no avail. She stopped her tracks and turned to her Chao

“Spat! This is, like, the tenth time I’ve told you that this isn’t for you! Or at least you can’t have this right now. Look- Just wait until we get there and then you can have this.” She pointed her her bag, then went back to her little trip

The Chao folded his arms and scowled, he wasn’t hungry or anything, just wanted his jaws to get busy chewing on something.

Though, as she was reaching the entrance to the plant, it seems like someone else had a similar idea. Almost immediately after spotting the other shadowy figure, she gasped and grabbed Spat as she went to find a hiding spot within a cluttered mess of rubble. Were they here for the Chao or was it to get data from here? She didn’t think of anybody needing to come here for anything else since, well, it was abandoned. Then again there are other people who get attracted to these kinds of places, maybe it’s just another traveler.

“First the eyes saw one and now see two, black arms no doubt is what you are. More than one is always a sight, with it will come some mortal fright. So tell me black arms creature, what brings you to this world to come and fester?”

The least he was expecting was to see another Zyarnic after so long. He thought they were all extinct, except for him and Kronos being the last remainders of the bloodline. 

Shadow, remembering his own remorse over indirectly killing all of the Black Arms in his efforts to stop Black Doom, tried to appear nonhostile to this newcomer.  🍸 “I’m not sure my presence here would be any easy for you, but there isn’t much to fear.”

Get to know Shadow through an ask !

⚠ - What has your character almost done that made someone talk them out of or convince them not to do it?

well you see there was that one time where he almost ended the world and Amy/Chris reasoned with him. there was actually a bit more at stake than just talking him out of it, it was more a matter of getting him to remember the truth so he’d realize he’d been wrong to go down that path, but initially the idea was to reason with him

I haven’t read the comics but I believe there were times where Sonic and either Cheese or Blaze also talked him out of achieving his goal at the time ? It’s a tough question tbh because Shadow is really damn stubborn, he does a lot of stupid stuff and it’s very tricky to dent his determination, let alone completely sway his objective

As far as this Shadow’s concerned, the only applicable instance (beyond what’s canon already) would be Omega convincing him not to ignore the possibility that he might get reprogrammed to hunt Shadow down eventually

♿ - Is your character in some way handicapped? (This includes physical, emotional, and mental.)

I think Shadow does have quite a few flaws/weaknesses that can put him at disadvantage if used against him correctly, but I don’t think any of it would qualify as something that ‘handicaps’ him, per se. Like, he’ll be easy to manipulate if you know about his fears, and those could also be used as a means to defeat him, that kind of thing ?
