:: PERSONALITY ::
Eric is a really confident young man. He is usually making people laugh with his antics, and inappropriate sense of humour. He often gets in trouble during class for this, but he doesn't mind a little trouble for the things he says as everyone knows he's a good kid at heart. He's always there if someone needs a shoulder to cry on, and he's not afraid to lend out money if he has it to lend.

He is very childish despite being mature enough to hold an intelligent conversation regarding most any topic. He is either wandering the campus looking for people to hang out with, but when curfew is enforced he's usually gaming on his pc or ps3. The weekends he likes to have cookouts down by the lake as part of his southern roots. He's been a big help to the staff with helping set up things to do on the weekend in the way of activities for the student body.

His professional goal is to become a nurse, and has spent much of his afternoon class time in the Medical Area working alongside Dr. Grey as to get in some time learning under her. He is seen a promising young mutant, and used by many to set a good example for younger students. He is usually involved in Orientation describing what student life is like for new prospects.

When it comes to the mutant cause Eric has been one of a neutral mind. He has been an advocate for mutant civil rights, but also understands the need for knowing who can do what. He finds the current handling of mutants to be horribly sloppy. He doesn't like the idea of walking down the street not knowing if someone could blow up from having an anxiety attack.

:: MUTATION ::

• :: Shadow Manipulation ::
  Via his own shadow Eric can extend it up to 20 feet away to control any object that cast a shadow or is engulfed in shadow. This all depends on where his shadow can connect to. His reach can be extended via open pipes or tunnels or extended lengths of shadows depending on the sun's position. He can only maintain control over someone's external body movements, and only for so long. Currently his limit is five minutes uninterrupted. The shadow can form solid and be used to crush or add leverage to the possession.
  
  

"Living from day to day, moving from place to place, with no memory of who or what you are."

:: History ::
Eric was born in Stone Mountain, Georgia. He had a relative normal life where in his early days he spent his evenings playing with other kids in the yard. He spent a fair portion of his time outside. His parents were big on technology, but made sure that Eric didn't spend all of his time in doors.

This worked out fine for Eric who was a pretty big fan of sports. He actively competed in sports growing up starting with basketball, baseball, and flag football. He continued on as he got older to continue playing sports. He was an avid fan of basketball, and football. He was moved to defense where he alternated at the safety position, and point guard for basketball. Eventually he fell to a bench player due to size.

He quit basketball by fourteen just because it took up time he could spend doing something more productive like more time practicing for football. His powers didn't manifest until he was fifteen. They were having a game, and out the corner of his eye he saw his girlfriend going under the bleachers. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he knew he had a little time. He went to investigate, and found that she was being attacked by some kids that were at the game rooting for the visiting team. In his rage his shadow grew to make the form of a monster. They tried to run before his shadow caught them, and began snaking around their limbs. The sound of their bones cracking could be heard as his anger used his shadow manipulation to crush their arms and legs.

He turned to face his girlfriend as she looked at him with terror in her eyes, and ran away promptly. The screams of the two attackers brought the attention of everyone. He was taken into custody, and put into juvenile hall for aggravated assault with intent to murder. They claimed the screaming saved those poor boys lives. He was somehow given release, and handed over to Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning. He wasn't sure why, but he was happy to be out. He was permitted to return home for a week to gather his items, and was able to see his family who had supported him throughout the ordeal.
