He has short<br \/>\ncut brown hair and somewhat washed out looking blue eyes. He seems to<br \/>\nbe in very good, if lean condition. He has several scars on his hands<br \/>\nand back.<br \/>\nAlias:  Shroud<br \/>\nCostume:  Usually just jump (military) boots, and black fatigue pants<br \/>\nwith a dark tshirt and leather jacket. If on the job he also adds thin<br \/>\nleather gloves, a microweave kevlar vest and sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p>\nPassions &amp;amp; Loyalties: He is very dedicated to the job. While he has no<br \/>\nillusions about who his employers are he also knows that if he shows<br \/>\nup at someone&#8217;s  door there is a good reason. He is very loyal to<br \/>\nthose that employ him until one of two conditions is met; he finishes<br \/>\nthe job and is paid, the current employer tries to double cross him in<br \/>\nsome fashion. This has earned him a reputation in the underworld. The<br \/>\nfact that he occasionally removes those he thinks needs removing on<br \/>\nhis own is usually ignored due to his usefulness.<\/p>\n<p>\nBackground:  David grew up in a series of foster homes. After abuse<br \/>\nand neglect after abuse and neglect he wound up in one last chance<br \/>\ntype placement. It was there that the foster father and his eldest son<br \/>\nalmost beat David to death. It was also there that his powers first<br \/>\nmanifested. His &#8216;family&#8217; was killed in furnace explosion, David<br \/>\nvanished into the streets. While he is not technically &#8216;wanted&#8217; for<br \/>\nthis event it is on his rap sheet. Since then he has taken the time to<br \/>\nexplore his powers, establish a trade and try and make himself<br \/>\ncomfortable. He tries to desguise the fact, but he is very protective<br \/>\nof children, espescially those from broken homes.<\/p>\n<p>Stats &amp;amp; Skills:  He is unusually, almost preternaturally, quick<br \/>\nreflex-wise and highly trained in the use of firearms. Additionally he<br \/>\nis a very competent knife fighter and hand to hand combatant, relying<br \/>\non speed and accuracy rather than brute strength.<\/p>\n<p>Powers:    David has the ability to turn both intangible and<br \/>\ninvisible. These powers are linked, he can&#8217;t do one without the other.<br \/>\nWhile invisible he can be picked up on infrared but will not trip<br \/>\nlaser traps, etc. While intangible he is immune to physical effects of<br \/>\nall sorts and makes no sound. While intangible he can follow the<br \/>\nphysical contours of things, climb stairs etc. but can also ignore<br \/>\nthem (sink through floors for example). He can only move at base<br \/>\nmovement while intangible, he cannot run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[&nbsp; Mood: Sleepy&nbsp;]My first pass at the template our GM put out for our Wild Talents character.
