OOC Shadow Plot
Jan. 13th, 2000 04:30 pmName: Aether
Description: Jak's shadow is of a self-righteous, almost messianic demeanor, as if it knows exactly what's best for everyone - as one might guess from the fact that it wears a white robe and a shining, golden crown. But its skin is the ashen gray of a corpse, and it tends to descend randomly into snarling rage. In its Aggravated Form, it splits into two beings, recognizable to those who have seen them as Light and Dark Jak - one with horns, the ashen-gray skin of its normal form, and long claws crackling with dark energy, the other a winged figure visible only because it is outlined in glowing white, with searing light shining from where its eyes should be.
Aether was one of the first gods born into the cosmos in Greek Mythology, the incarnation of the brightness of the upper air, and also the defensive wall between Tartarus and the rest of the universe. As Jak's persona, he's a featureless figure glowing with ripples of light and darkness, with two wings - one shining white, one glowing with an eye-bending dark light.
Arcana: Judgment
Inheritance: Light/Dark
Elemental Resistance:
Persona: Absorb Light and Dark, Resist Physical
Shadow: Dark Jak - Absorb Dark, Reflect Physical, Weak Light; Light Jak - Absorb Light, Reflect Wind/Fire/Ice/Electricity, Weak Dark
Level: 85. Jak not only has serious issues, but they're also buried deep - finding out that a man he looked up to was his father, only after witnessing his death; having his body changed against his will, to house conflicting elements of light and darkness... and he's tired of saving the world. (To borrow a phrase from one of his icons, "Destiny is getting old.") He's not sure whether he's a monster or an angel, and is getting sick of having to be either.
