Bio: Savage Will - The Undying Shadow
Real Name: Will Darkmoor
Alias: Savage Will
Birth Order: Second Born of the Darkness Brothers
Affiliation: Shadow Syndicate
Background
Savage Will, the enigmatic second-born of the notorious Darkness brothers, embodies the essence of shadows themselves. Born amidst the chaos of the supernatural underworld, Will was the product of a dark prophecy that foretold the rise of a new breed of immortals. With the legacy of his family rooted in ancient powers and forbidden magic, he inherited an undying spirit and an affinity for the unseen realms.
From an early age, Will exhibited a unique connection to the shadows that surrounded him. Haunted by whispers of his fate, he learned to embrace the darkness, mastering the art of stealth and manipulation. His brothers, each formidable in their own right, represented different aspects of their family’s legacy: the first-born was a brawler and the youngest a cunning strategist. Will, however, thrived in the shadows, often choosing the path of cunning over brute force.
Undying Nature
Will's undying nature is both a blessing and a curse. An ancient curse bestowed upon him during a violent confrontation with a rival clan, he emerged from the encounter with an unusual gift—the inability to die. However, this immortality comes with a price: every time he suffers a fatal wound, his memories of the life he left behind begin to fade. As years turn into centuries, Will finds himself trapped in a dance with oblivion, constantly searching for meaning in a world that often forgets him.
His regeneration allows him to arise from the ashes of combat, but it often leaves him more isolated than ever. Those he once loved or even knew fade into the depths of time, and he walks the earth with a sorrowful determination—haunted by the faces of his past, their names lost to the shadows.
Life in the Shadows
Choosing to operate in the fringes of society, Savage Will has become a master of deception and subterfuge. He thrives in environments where others fear to tread, often taking on the roles of informant, assassin, and thief. The underbelly of the city holds no secrets for him; any and all information can be obtained with the right persuasion—or intimidation.
Belonging to the Shadow Syndicate, a clandestine group that operates outside the realm of typical law enforcement, Will has forged alliances with various supernatural beings and underworld figures. His innate ability to blend into the background makes him an invaluable asset. He breaks into secure locations, gathers secrets, and executes assignments that most would deem impossible, all while remaining undetected.
Though he’s aware of the darkness that surrounds his profession, he harbors a personal code that compels him to protect the innocent and uphold a sense of justice—even if it’s a twisted form of it. This duality can often lead to inner conflict, as he navigates the fine line between right and wrong in a world where morality is fluid.
Powers and Abilities
Savage Will possesses extraordinary abilities that set him apart:
-
Shadow Manipulation: He can meld into shadows, becoming nearly invisible to the naked eye. This ability allows him to traverse unseen spaces and approach targets without detection.
-
Regeneration: His undying nature enables him to recover from seemingly fatal injuries, rising stronger but at the cost of his memories.
-
Enhanced Agility and Strength: Years of honing his skills have given him superhuman agility, reflexes, and strength, making him a formidable opponent in hand-to-hand combat.
-
Telepathy with Shadows: An unusual gift, Will can communicate with entities that dwell in the shadows, gaining insights or assistance when necessary.
Relationships
Will's connection with his brothers is complex. He often feels like the odd one out, his undying state creating an emotional distance. The fierce loyalty he feels toward them runs deep, yet he constantly wrestles with his own solitude, knowing that they age and progress through life while he remains unchanged.
His romantic entanglements are just as tumultuous. Will has loved passionately, often only to see those he cared for age and perish, leaving him behind in an eternal cycle of loss. These experiences have hardened his heart, making him wary of opening up to others.
Legacy
Despite his dark profession and the shadows that cloak his every move, Savage Will is driven by a desire for redemption. He yearns to reconcile the man he once was with the undying figure he has become. The journey for meaning has led him through countless trials, but in the heart of darkness, he continues to seek the light.
The name "Savage Will" will always carry a weight of fear and respect, but beneath the surface lies a soul constantly searching for purpose. As he navigates a world filled with shadows, Will is prepared to confront the darkness within and without—an undying warrior forged in shadows, forever bound to a destiny of mystery and intrigue.
