Adrian Damiani ~ Nightblade

From Forge's database:

ENTRY: NIGHTBLADE

Real Name: Adrian Damiani
Age: Between 21/24 though he has no definitive birth certificate to confirm his age.
Nationality: Italian.
Family: Unknown.
Hair: Black.
Eye Color: Blue-on-blue, a physical sign of his mutation.
NOTE: His entire body is scarred, with significant tattoo work in three places. A crucifix circles his throat and ends at his sternum, while the entirety of the Lord's Prayer is below this, covering his torso. His back is covered in a rather fearsome visage of the Grim Reaper, the irony of which is not lost on him. Most notably, he has survived having his throat cut from ear to ear as well as half of his face blown off- a swirling void of energy has filled the hole and it is strongly advised that people in proximity do not touch the void, unlike his normal power, the void will not electrocute its victim, but it drains them of energy as a protective measure to prevent further injury.

POWER: Energy absorption which manifests in electrokinesis due to the way his body metabolizes the stored energy- this has a tendency to result in energy vampirism if someone makes prolonged skin contact with him while his body is in a state of energy deprivation.
Electromagnetic vision: Adrian has the capability to see the entire electromagnetic spectrum- while his brain filters much of it out as subconscious white noise, it's relatively easy to disorient him by flooding his field of vision with electromagnetic pulses as his mind will be working overtime to compensate for it.

NOTABLE SKILLS: As a former project of Weapon Plus, Adrian's physical conditioning is at the peak of humanity. Simply put, he is trained in nearly every martial art, and shows Olympian-level ability in Judo, Kickboxing, and Wrestling, as well as what appears to be a naturally high pain threshold, no doubt through his horrid experiences in Weapon Plus labs. He speaks Italian, English, German, and French fluently, and shows an intense desire for learning, which is a psychological defense against his indoctrination. Also shows a surprisingly gifted natural singing voice.

WEAKNESSES: Telepathic entry into his mind seems to cause him a great deal of pain. However, he still struggles to adapt to 'normal' life, and as such is prone to outbursts. He is also quite mortal and seems to survive things that might kill someone else simply through willpower alone. He is also extremely claustrophobic...a fact we learned at great cost.

PERSONALITY: Adrian's personality can be summed up in one word: Turbulent. He suffers from mood swings, which have gotten better since he's begun to acclimate to a normal life, and his outbursts are contained to the Danger Room. However, he seems to open up to the people he trusts, though these moments are few and far between. However, Adrian seems now to understand that the X-Men value him as a teammate and friend, but he seems to struggle with this on occasion. With time, I'm confident we can continue to acclimate him to normal life, though the nightmares and flashbacks may persist indefinitely, as he refuses to have them shielded. He also shows no fear, a condition I assume to be connected to his indoctrination at the hands of Weapon Plus.

HISTORY: Adrian's past is murky. Even SHIELD's file on him is basic and bone-thin. What IS known, however, is that his parents were influential Italian diplomats, killed fifteen years ago in what appeared to be a Mafia-backed hit. His mutation erupted, possibly caused by the trauma of witnessing this, and before the gunmen could find him, a violent lightning storm had killed them all. The side effect to this was the immediate mutation of his eyes, and once a foster family took him in, it was a matter of days before they noticed and sold him to the Sicilian branch of Weapon Plus, where John Sublime selected him as the cornerstone of a new Project.

-REDACTED-

He still has days where he's convinced this is simply a dream to escape the horror of Weapon Plus along with his indoctrination as War, and it might be years before his psyche fully heals- if it ever does.

NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS: Shadowcat
