       30XX WIP: Anna Shadow-Darkfire
   DIR By: Raven Tepes

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       “Kindron didn’t just love me… he saw me. All of me. Even the
       parts I was taught to hide. And somehow, he made the darkness
       feel like home instead of a curse.”
       ~ Anna Shadow-Darkfire
       “Kindron accepted the monster and the woman both. So I protect
       him with every shadow I have. Anyone who threatens him learns
       very quickly that my love is not gentle.”
       ~ Anna Shadow-Darkfire
       “Most people fear my hollow side. Kindron looked at her and
       smiled. That was the moment I knew—my soul had finally found
       someone it didn’t have to fight.”
       ~ Anna Shadow-Darkfire
       “He is the only one my claws will not touch. The only heartbeat
       I will not hunt. Kindron is mine to guard, not devour.”
       ~ Shadowstalker
       “I do not bow. I do not yield. But when he speaks, the rage
       quiets. Kindron is the one voice the monster in me listens to.”
       ~ Shadowstalker
       “Anna walks with a darkness that should have devoured her long
       ago, yet she bends it into purpose with a grace even angels
       envy. She is proof that shadow is not corruption, but a
       language—one she speaks with courage, fury, and a heart far
       kinder than she admits.”
       ~ Aria Morningstar about Anna
       “Where others saw a monster, I saw a woman carrying wounds older
       than her exile. Kindron healed what the Shadow Realm broke, but
       Anna… she is the one who chose to rise.”
       ~ Aria Morningstar about Anna
       “Balance is not always gentle. Sometimes it is a Death Wraith
       who refuses to fall, and the hollow within her that learns to
       trust.”
       ~ Aria Morningstar about Anna
       “The angel of balance… she is not prey. She is not threat. She
       is something rare — a light that does not burn me and a darkness
       that does not hunger. I watch her, and she watches back, and
       neither of us flinches.”
       ~ Shadowstalker about Aria
       “She does not fear me. She should… but she doesn’t. And because
       of that, I do not bare my fangs when she draws near.”
       ~ Shadowstalker about Aria
       "You're not a monster, Shadowstalker. You're just a being who's
       alone, and trying to find their purpose. People reject you
       because of what you are. But I won't reject you. So don't
       believe what others say. Have confidence in yourself and your
       connection to Anna. You are both beautiful in your own ways."

       Abilities:
       - Death Wraith Spiritual/Darkness Nature: The death wraiths were
       spawned of the shadow realm by Toranoraos, and are spiritual
       beings who are the very incarnations of darkness. Death wraiths
       were designed for reaping souls, with most of them being born
       into the order of death wraiths that have learned over time to
       harness their abilities for their job of reaping souls. However,
       their other main part of their darkness and spiritual nature
       comes from them being of the shadow realm, and their other job
       of keeping the denizens of the shadow realm, the dark spirits,
       from invading the living world. They are beings of shadows, but
       also of death, due to the nature of their job. A death wraith's
       main power is that of darkness and their ability to use the
       power of their spiritual nature to purify and battle lost souls,
       but most have other abilities as well that the race as developed
       over time as they learned about their heritage and how to use
       their power. Death wraiths usually serve one of two purposes,
       either hunting lost souls for the Hall of Souls, or hunting dark
       spirits who try to enter the human world. For the most part, the
       shadow realm is the life of a death wraith, and all death
       wraiths have a darkness nature. Because of this, all death
       wraiths, even hybrids, are incarnations of darkness and have
       strong darkness natures. However, being beings of darkness means
       that they are more vulnerable to beings of light, or natures of
       light since light is the natural counter to darkness. For the
       most part death wraiths are beings of darkness, with only a few
       exceptions ever being born. However, as spiritual beings, they
       are also vulnerable to blessed sea salt and iron, which can do
       damage to their more spiritual natures. Depending on how it's
       used and the severity of how much exposure, death wraiths can be
       killed if blessed sea salt or iron end up in their systems,
       which act acts one of the biggest weaknesses.
       - Death Energy Power/Manipulation: Just as demonic beings have
       demonic energy, or angelic beings have holy energy, death
       wraiths have death energy flowing through their bodies that
       powers their ability to use their darkness abilities. This
       energy powers a death wraith's abilities, and can be used in
       battle against enemies as a basic energy all death wraiths have.
       Those familiar with death energy know how it works, as it is the
       opposite of life energy and given off by beings of death. Death
       wraiths radiate this as one of their main energies, and this
       energy is a basic power source. Death wraiths only radiate
       enough of this to use their abilities, and don't have negative
       effects on the environment of the living world like most think
       due to death wraiths learning control of their minds and bodies
       from an early age that they learn to keep this under control.
       Death wraiths use this much like other races use death energy
       when using it on its own, such as using the rotting effects of
       death energy or using the necromancy abilities that allow one to
       create undead using death energy manipulation. When used on its
       own, death wraiths can use the death energy properties of death
       energy, and can use it like any other energy in battle. Unlike
       those like grim reapers though who manipulate both life and
       death energies, death wraiths only manipulate death energy, and
       cannot manipulate life energy. Due to this, life energy is a
       good way to counter this power, and life energy can be used
       against a death wraith's deathly nature. As one might expect,
       those that can manipulate life energy can counter death wraith's
       death energies, or other energies that counter death energy can
       also be used to counter a death wraith's death energy as well
       depending on the energy.
       - Shadow Manipulation/Primordial Shadows Manipulation: Thanks to
       the death wraiths being created from shadows of the shadow
       realm, they are able to manipulate/control shadows and even
       manipulate primordial shadows from the shadow realm. They are
       able to use shadows much like other shadow users, being able to
       use shadows to attack opponents. However, unlike other beings
       that use shadows, there are few that are more masterful of the
       use of darkness than the death wraiths. Being masters of
       shadows, death wraiths are masters of not only attacking with
       shadows, but using different forms of shadows. They are able to
       do things like creating special unique shadow techniques based
       in their skillset, change the physical form of shadows into
       liquid or solid, or even change the acidity of shadows. Certain
       people have even developed unusual darkness abilities, sometimes
       even being variations of typical shadows depending on their
       abilities as some can combine other abilities with their
       darkness to create unique abilities. Their base darkness powers
       are normal shadows and primordial shadows, despite how their
       manipulations are used, but among other darkness types to learn,
       death wraiths can learn to convert their natural darkness into
       other darkness types depending on their training and what
       darkness variations they choose to learn from their training.
       Normal shadows don't cost as much power to use but are less
       powerful, while primordial shadows are more powerful than normal
       shadows but cost more power to use as a result. Of course, as
       one might guess, most types of shadows are counter-able by
       light, or in some cases, life energy in the cases that certain
       shadows can't be dispelled by light alone. Darkness can also be
       countered by fire and lightning if one knows how to use the
       elementals properly.
       - Shadow Meld/Planeswalking: This technique, which death wraiths
       refer to as "shadow walking", lets a death wraith travel around
       using shadows, as they are able to fuse into shadows and go
       anywhere in the world as long as there is access to a shadow,
       granted there is no supernatural warding for teleportation or
       anything blocking them from connecting to the shadows in the
       area. By using shadows, they are able to travel through the
       shadow realm using the shadows, which connects every realm as
       every realm has shadows in some form. In addition to being able
       to go anywhere in the world, they are also able to go between
       afterlives as well, in which they are able to also go between
       the Veil where human souls remain after they die, since their
       job requires taking souls to the afterlife. They also have a
       special connection to go to the Hall of Souls, in which they
       usually bring lost souls or souls that aren't recorded to go
       anywhere else as part of their job to protect the living world.
       This technique requires only a death wraith to know where they
       want to go, though since they are born and raised in the shadow
       realm, most death wraith know their way around instinctively.
       This can also be used in battle to a degree, if the death wraith
       can meld into a shadow if they want to teleport around the
       battlefield, with some having special techniques using this.
       However, it is worth nothing that the death wraith has to enter
       a shadow in order to use this, and destroying a shadow can
       damage a death wraith if one does something like using a
       flashbang to temporarily negate shadows. This technique uses the
       shadows in place of teleportation techniques, and death wraiths
       can teleport using almost any kind of shadow and use it to
       connect to any other shadow as long as the area they are or want
       to go is not warded or guarded against teleportation or shadow
       travel (which some races can ward and protect against
       teleportation). Unlike dark spirits who can fuse into darkness
       without a light source, death wraiths cannot enter shadows in
       pure darkness without risking accessing the Deep Shadow Realm,
       as pure darkness often acts as a conduit for the Deep Shadow
       Realm because of how Xeles's darkness connects to the universes
       unlike the death wraith's side of the Shadow Realm, who's side
       of the Shadow Realm is connected to the shadows of the living
       world. However, this also works in reverse, where the dark
       spirits usually disappear in pure darkness rather than accessing
       shadows because of the fact they risk going into Toranoraos'
       realm where they could be hunted down and killed by death
       wraiths. However, one should know that one cannot access the
       Deep Shadow Realm in pure darkness without some sort of
       supernatural shadow movement ability, and this only happens to
       those that try to shadow meld when in pure darkness.
       - Shadow Stealth/Shadow Presence Suppression: Another technique
       using shadows, in which death wraiths can use shadows to hide
       their presence. Death wraiths are able to blend shadows around
       them, in which they are able to not only become invisible in the
       shadows, but they are also able to hide their presence from
       other supernaturals, not even being able to be sensed by anyone
       other than another death wraith or a dark spirit that uses
       shadows. Death wraiths' natural ability for stealth and shadow
       melding make this a fairly simple technique to them, where they
       are able to do it fairly easily if they have enough shadows to
       work with and are able to blend into the shadows. To most
       people, they will just see a typical shadow, which would
       normally not draw any suspicion. Though if the death wraith
       doesn't have enough shadows to work with, the shadow they blend
       with might appear unnatural, or not blend with them all the way
       to make them unable to be seen. This is a technique that death
       wraiths are able to use once mastering shadow melding, making
       stealth even easier. This makes many death wraiths masters of
       stealth, where they are able to use darkness and shadows to
       their advantage, and this technique makes them even harder to
       spot when they are trying to hide from opponents or threats.
       However, just like shadow travel, this requires blending with
       the shadows completely, and destroying the shadows with
       something like intense light can damage the death wraith if they
       don't get out of the shadows before the shadow is destroyed.
       Usually, light is the main thing to worry about, but certain
       other powers that destroy shadows can also damage death wraiths,
       such as some special fire techniques that burn shadows or holy
       power that purifies shadows.
       - Shadow/Darkness Regeneration: This power has two stages, in
       which death wraiths are able to use the power of shadows to heal
       and regenerate themselves. The first part of this is that they
       have a normal regeneration which they are able to heal from
       injuries passively, having supernatural regeneration similar to
       other supernatural creatures, except that a death wraith's
       regeneration is completely powered by darkness and shadows. This
       regeneration is able to regenerate damage by using darkness as
       it's power source, whether it is from the area around the death
       wraith or if it comes from the death wraith's own dark nature.
       This lets them regenerate most wounds, though it doesn't let
       them regenerate organs, their brain or help them against iron or
       blessed sea salt (their biggest weaknesses) unless they use the
       second stage of this regeneration. The second stage however, can
       be used to heal them completely, granted they aren't killed by
       the injuries they have. Once the death wraith melds into the
       shadows, they are able to heal much more quickly as they absorb
       the darkness of shadows or darkness they are melded into, even
       being able to heal their organs and heal from iron and blessed
       sea salt damage that can overwhelm their first stage
       regeneration. This second stage regeneration can heal far more
       than the first stage regeneration. However, due to the nature of
       this, the second stage is easier to interrupt as all one has to
       do is destroy the shadow they are melded into in order to
       prevent the death wraith from using the second stage ability. It
       is possible to interrupt the first stage regeneration with
       powerful enough light to destroy any darkness the death wraith
       might use, forcing them to use their own power to regenerate.
       This can also be interrupted with varanium and other
       regeneration negation abilities (both stages), and can keep the
       user from regenerating. Also, this doesn't work against spirit
       infections or spiritual based poisons, as either stage cannot
       fix these problems in a death wraith.
       - Shadow Weapons: Every death wraith can create shadow
       constructs to a degree, but this is an ability that uniquely
       creates darkness weapons that a death wraith can use. While each
       death wraith still has their soul bound weapons, death wraiths
       can create their own weapons made from shadows. This could be as
       simple as making swords out of shadows, or making bows and
       arrows out of shadows, or making projectile weapons like
       throwing knives or similar projectiles, or even making guns out
       of shadows (though the user has to know how guns work and be
       able to replicate that with darkness). The weapons function much
       like normal weapons (as long as the death wraith understands how
       the weapons work) and are powered by their shadow power. There
       are a number of options depending on the death wraiths given the
       number of weapon possibilities, and the weapons can be formed to
       have special darkness abilities as well. For example, a sword
       made of purifying darkness could destroy a dark spirit, or a
       deathly darkness weapon could do more damage to a lost soul.
       Death wraiths can also do things like create weapons that can
       release waves of darkness in attacks (such as a darkness sword
       being able to fire a darkness slashing wave) or shapeshift their
       weapons (like turning a sword into a chain whip), depending on
       how creative the death wraith gets with this power. Some have
       been known to create shadow scythes, shadow claw gauntlets, and
       some can even form more complex weapons depending on what the
       death wraith prefers to fight with. This offers a variety of
       options to attack when a death wraith isn't using their own
       darkness abilities. Of course, as one might expect, these
       darkness weapons are vulnerable to weaknesses to darkness such
       as light, and other creative ways to counter darkness like some
       that use fire and lightning. It is also worth noting that those
       with aura breaker weapons and energy negation abilities or items
       can also break these weapons easily since the weapons are made
       of shadows.
       - Death Wraith Elementals: Contrary to popular belief, death
       wraiths don't use shadow elementals like people think, but they
       use basic elementals based on what they have affinities for.
       However, they don't use elementals the same way mortals do, in
       which they have a different understanding of elements than
       mortals and use them a different way. For the death wraiths,
       elementals exist in one of four states of matter that they learn
       to manipulate: solid matter manipulation, liquid matter
       manipulation, gas matter manipulation, and plasma matter
       manipulation. Depending on the power gained, most are able to
       gain multiple abilities depending on the element used, in which
       their understanding in elements is more based on the
       understanding of the forms of matter than on the elements
       themselves. Each has it's own benefits, with each having
       strengths and weaknesses. Solid matter manipulation mostly
       involves earth manipulation, where death wraiths are able to
       control anything with solid structure, like glass, sand, dirt,
       rock, and even metal or concrete. Liquid matter manipulation
       lets a death wraith control liquid, in which they are able to
       control anything from acid, to water if it's in liquid form,
       even being able to control the temperature of liquids like
       creating ice and boiling liquid. Gas matter manipulation is
       similar to wind manipulation, where the user is able to control
       anything in gas form with this usually meaning controlling the
       air around them. This includes being able to control wind, but
       can be used to do things like manipulate explosive gases, create
       poisonous gases, or even create wind attacks. Plasma
       manipulation involves controlling energy, which usually consists
       mostly of controlling energy-based powers like fire, lightning
       and even radiation energy. These powers, however, also come with
       corresponding weaknesses, like solid matter manipulation being
       counter-able like any other earth manipulation and each type
       being counter-able by another form of matter manipulation in
       some way.
       - Adaptability/Power Users: Like most mortals, death wraiths are
       adaptable and able to learn the same abilities as mortals can
       (for the most part) thanks to the time they spend in the living
       world, and how adaptable they were made by Toranoraos. This
       includes being able to learn things like magic, mana, psychic,
       or even holy/unholy abilities depending on what they have
       affinities for (Example: Some death wraiths might have an
       affinity for magic, while some might be more tuned to psychic or
       holy/unholy abilities). A death wraith is able to learn these in
       the same way as other mortals, such as learning certain arts
       like mana user abilities or spirit energy user abilities
       depending on their skill sets and affinities. Usually, they can
       learn these from other death wraiths or from the mortals who use
       these techniques depending on their training and anyone they can
       learn from. Usually, death wraiths can learn special skills
       depending on their affinities, where they are able to learn
       usually up to two or three special skill sets depending on their
       age and training. For the most part, most typically stick to one
       or two though, since some of the skill sets require extensive
       training and practice to be useful, and it is typically better
       to master one special set of skills than gain a number of them
       that one cannot fully master (though having more may mean more
       ways to attack different kinds of enemies at the cost of not
       being able to fully master multiple skillsets to maintain their
       multiple skillsets). However, while a death wraith gains the
       strength of whatever class power they gain, they also gain the
       weaknesses, such as magic users being weak to magic negation or
       their magic not hurting those immune to magic. This applies to
       all abilities learned, which means death wraiths have to weigh
       strengths and weaknesses of classes to find out what will work
       best for them. They are able to learn the same powers as
       mortals, and some death wraiths are even born with special
       abilities, which is most common in death wraith hybrids.
       - Soul Reaper Kido: Despite not being soul reapers, death
       wraiths have worked well enough with the soul reapers that death
       wraiths can use the spiritual power of kido that the soul
       reapers typically use if they train with the soul reapers. Since
       death wraiths are spiritual in nature, death wraiths can also
       learn this ability through training with soul reapers, as soul
       reapers and death wraiths usually work together to take on
       hollows at times. This allows them to learn certain kido
       techniques that they might have an affinity for depending on
       their skillset and the soul reaper they train with. Soul reaper
       kido is broken down into two different sections. The first is
       Hado arts, which are attack abilities using spirit power in
       different ways. Depending on the art, each art has it's own
       abilities, strengths and weaknesses, and are mostly focused
       around offensive attack. The second is the Bakudo arts, which
       are focused around defense and restraint. These arts focus on
       defensive techniques, and also have their own abilities,
       strengths and weaknesses. Depending on the skill level of the
       death wraith, some are able to learn more advanced kido arts if
       they are advanced enough at learning these arts. Typically, the
       higher the number of the art, the harder it is to learn, with
       higher level kido arts being far more powerful than lesser arts.
       The highest level hados are in the 90s, which are very difficult
       ones to learn that usually have a heavy cost to use (such as one
       that requires sacrifice of the body in order to use). There are
       some that act similarly but are different in nature. As an
       example, Hado 33 is Sokatsui, but Hado 73 is Soren Sokatsui, a
       much stronger version of Sokatsui and much harder to learn.
       Typically, each has it's own counter options, and death wraiths
       can only learn powers they have an affinity for (for example, a
       death wraith with no ability to manipulate ice is not going to
       be able to learn an ice-type kido attack). These work the same
       way as they do with soul reapers, and each one is countered the
       same way. These are very useful against not only lost souls and
       hollows, but are also very useful against dark spirits as well
       (as long as it's not one that can absorb energy like a consumer)
       so it is often favored by death wraiths who work with soul
       reapers.
       - Ghost Sight, Ghost Touch and Ghost Sense: Since the death
       wraiths were made to interact with the spirits of dead mortals,
       supernaturals, and deities as one of their primary purposes,
       death wraiths are able to interact with almost any manner of
       spirit or ghost, including dead souls and dark spirits. For the
       most part, death wraiths have multiple abilities dealing with
       their interactions of ghosts, where they are able to interact
       with them in ways most mortals cannot. Since ghosts don't
       typically manifest in the living world until they've become
       vengeful spirits or hollows, death wraiths have to be able to
       interact with ghosts in the veil, which they can do even from
       the living world to a degree using their special ghost sight
       ability and ghost sense. They are able to see ghosts, and see
       their essence even when they are not manifested thanks to this
       ability where most beings other than reapers would not be able
       to see ghosts. This includes ghosts not physical manifested in
       the physical world, in which death wraiths can detect any kind
       of ghost or spirit using their ghost sense that lets them sense
       almost any form of ghost or soul that they might encounter. They
       are also able to touch, grab and attack ghosts including ones
       not physically manifested, in which they are able to attack them
       in any form and can physically interact with ghosts and souls no
       matter what form they take. Death wraiths are also able to sense
       ghosts as well, having the ability to sense the difference
       between ghosts and certain angelic or demonic entities that
       possess creatures. However, death wraiths cannot interact with
       ghosts that have possessed people, and usually have to use their
       soul sword to attack a ghost if it has possessed a person.
       Ghosts and lost souls are typically the death wraith's main
       opponents besides dark spirits, in which some are able to even
       generate abilities to counter death wraith natural abilities to
       contain and interact with ghosts.
       - Soul Storage/Collection: Since it's a death wraith's purpose
       is to collect and shuttle souls to the afterlife, death wraiths
       must have their own ways to take souls to the afterlife. Every
       death wraith has some way to store and collect souls, in which
       they are able to use this to take souls with them in some way.
       For the most part, this skill is pretty self explanatory, at
       least as far as it's purpose, which is to make souls easy to
       carry and take with them so death wraiths can more easily take
       souls to the afterlife. But when it comes to functions, this is
       different for each death wraith, as each death wraith typically
       has their own way of doing this. Some can do things like storing
       souls in bottles, some use other objects to store souls, or some
       can even store souls in their bodies temporarily through soul
       absorption (though this is a forbidden art for most due to the
       dangers of devouring souls). This mostly depends on the death
       wraith, as they all have their own ways of collecting souls for
       transport to the afterlife. Usually, this involves some sort of
       object that they can bind a soul to. Souls typically cannot
       break out of this type of containment on their own, unless they
       have some sort of special ability that affects space and time,
       like space/time distortion energy. This also only works on dead
       souls, and cannot be used to take a soul out of a living body or
       even remove a possessing soul from the body. This ability is
       only for storing dead souls and can only be used as such. It is
       possible for others to destroy the objects holding a soul as
       well, so this is another thing that plays a part on trying to
       keep a soul contained, such as someone might be able to shatter
       a glass bottle holding a soul by dropping it, or destroying it
       with an attack.
       - Soul Purification/Corruption Removal: Another aspect of a
       death wraith's job to ferry souls to the afterlife is soul
       purification and removing corruption. While soul reapers usually
       take on hollows and use their zanpakutos after defeating them to
       purify them, death wraiths are able to remove corruption from
       souls using their ghost touch and interaction abilities. When
       using this, a death wraith is able to interact with souls and
       remove things like corruption from them in the form of ripping
       out the corruptive energy, or using their purifying shadows to
       purify a soul of corruption. Usually, this also depends death
       wraith, as some have unique purification techniques for
       purifying souls depending on who they are and their skillsets,
       such as some who might use magic could use magic based
       purification abilities. A soul must be purified before transport
       to the afterlife, and any risk of being turned hollow or higher
       level specter must be removed before taking them to the
       afterlife or the Hall of Souls. Typically, souls will resist
       being purified, given that they typically get corrupted from not
       wanting to leave and stay in the living world after rejecting a
       grim reaper taking them to the afterlife. It is difficult to
       purify a soul not willing to be purified, so death wraiths often
       have to fight in order to defeat a corrupted soul before they
       can purify it. Thankfully, their soul swords have a main
       function to purify souls if they cannot do it as easily, and
       defeating a soul or hollow typically will allow them to pacify
       it long enough to remove the corruption if they defeat it in
       battle. However, death wraiths have to be careful, as they can
       become corrupted themselves if they don't discard the corruption
       or if they are affected by corruption due to special abilities,
       which is something many death wraiths take very seriously and
       try to avoid.
       - Dark Spirit Hunting, Dark Spirit Trapping and Dark Spirit
       Destruction:  The other primary function of death wraiths is to
       hunt dark spirits of the shadow realm, in which death wraiths
       are designed specifically to fight dark spirits. Death wraiths
       know easily how to hunt all dark spirits of the shadow realm,
       and know most of the strengths and weaknesses as it is their job
       to keep them from entering the living world to try and interact
       or kill mortal beings. Death wraiths are not only able to hunt
       them, but they are also able to use their soul collection and
       containment abilities on dark spirits to trap them as well,
       where they are able to trap them in the same way as souls.
       Typically, this allows a death wraith to trap and contain a dark
       spirit in a similar way, where they will often use this to
       capture stronger dark spirits they cannot destroy, and will
       often use this to take a dark spirit back to the shadow realm
       and throw them deeper into the shadow realm where they are less
       likely to make it to the living world. In addition to capturing
       though, death wraiths possess the ability to destroy dark
       spirits, in which all death wraiths are usually able to destroy
       dark spirits with their soul sword and with their purifying
       darkness, though some may develop other special abilities for
       destroying dark spirits depending on their skillset. Death
       wraiths have to fight dark spirits quite a lot, and have to
       sometimes take on enhanced dark spirits that might get enhanced
       by mortal interference, such as those like Vobu and Zenrael (in
       some universes) who use their power to strengthen dark spirits.
       Typically, dark spirits aren't fought like normal beings, as
       most of them are typically not able to be hurt or destroyed by
       most mortals given their unique and usually intangible nature.
       However, death wraiths are able to counter that with their ghost
       touch and dark spirit destruction abilities, where they are able
       to fight dark spirits. While they can destroy dark spirits if
       they can overpower them, dark spirits also specialize in
       fighting death wraiths, as they are the shadow realm antithesis
       to death wraiths, and many dark spirits come in a variety of
       abilities and types, just as death wraiths have had to by
       learning adaptability and elemental abilities, so death wraiths
       have to keep up with the kinds of dark spirits that exist, and
       sometimes have to adapt if they meet a new type of dark spirit
       they don't know (which death wraiths are used to doing as there
       are a lot of ways new dark spirit types are being created).
       Weapons:
       Umbracrysa, the Twin‑Soul Requiem:
       Weapon Type
       A dual‑state soul weapon that shifts between:
       A shadow‑flame scythe (Anna’s primary form)
       A hollow‑forged clawed gauntlet (Shadowstalker’s form)
       Both forms are the same weapon — two halves of one soul.
       ✦ Appearance — Anna’s Scythe Form
       Name: Umbracrysa (meaning “Shadow‑Crystal Requiem”)
       The blade is forged from violet‑black soulsteel, veined
       with glowing cracks of amethyst light.
       The shaft is wrapped in shadow‑woven leather that moves
       subtly like breathing darkness.
       When Anna holds it, the blade emits a soft, mournful hum — the
       sound of lost souls recognizing her.
       When she swings it, the arc leaves behind a trail of violet
       embers that fall like dying stars.
       This form reflects Anna’s discipline, sorrow, and purpose.
       ✦ Appearance — Shadowstalker’s Gauntlet Form
       When Shadowstalker takes over, the weapon collapses into a
       feral, predatory gauntlet:
       Five elongated claws made of hollow‑corrupted obsidian
       Veins of white‑hot void energy pulsing beneath the surface
       A second “thumb claw” for grappling prey
       A faint, distorted whispering that only Anna and Kindron can
       hear
       The claws drip with a shadow‑acid that dissolves spiritual
       corruption
       This form reflects Shadowstalker’s instinct, hunger, and raw
       truth.
       ✦ Core Ability — Twin‑Soul Resonance
       The weapon has two spirits within it:
       Anna’s disciplined Death Wraith soul
       Shadowstalker’s feral hollow soul
       They do not fight.
       They coexist, creating a weapon that adapts to Anna’s emotional
       and spiritual state.
       When Anna is calm → the scythe dominates.
       When she is threatened or cornered → the gauntlet emerges.
       When Kindron is in danger → both forms overlap, creating a
       hybrid state that is terrifying to behold.
       ✦ Signature Abilities
       1. Requiem Severance
       A scythe‑arc that cuts through spiritual corruption,
       slicing away hollow influence without harming the soul beneath.
       2. Hollow Rend
       The gauntlet’s claws tear through dark spirits, hollows, and
       corrupted entities with brutal efficiency.
       3. Shadow‑Flame Pulse
       Anna slams the scythe into the ground, releasing a shockwave of
       violet fire that purifies or annihilates depending on her
       intent.
       4. Predator’s Silence
       Shadowstalker’s form allows Anna to vanish completely — no
       sound, no presence, no spiritual signature.
       5. Kindron’s Anchor
       Because Kindron accepts both halves of her soul, the weapon
       reacts to him:
       It will not harm him
       It calms when he touches it
       It strengthens when he is near
       It becomes unstable if he is wounded
       This is the closest thing a Death Wraith soul weapon can have to
       a bonded mate.
