Shade (Allura, Mamoru, Stone, Casper)

Proposed possession schedule (can be adjusted per player needs if necessary, amongst yourselves):
Day 1: Tobi
Day 2: Mamoru
Day 3: Allura
Day 4: Stone
Day 5: Casper

You've never been particularly fond of humans. You've never really considered them at all, except as a resource. They're food, nothing more, and while you don't agree with those of your bretheren who think misery makes them taste better, you don't particularly see the point of bonding with the slow, dull, short-lived things. You do try - not always successfully - to keep from killing the ones you feed on, because you know from experience that a trail of bodies makes it easier for their hunters to find you.

In spite of your best efforts, one of them has caught your scent - and unlike those you've dealt with on other occasions, they've managed to follow you through several bodies. You thought you'd lost them on your last jump, and bound yourself to the human you'd chosen so you could be sure of putting a little more distance between yourself and your pursuer before you risked exposing yourself to the second sight and the unpleasant magics that often come with it. Unfortunately, your assumption that you'd managed to escape was incorrect - not only has the hunter managed to track you down, they ripped you from your comfortable host and trapped you within a ward you can't cross.

Now, the only way to keep yourself from being destroyed is to hide within the humans penned in with you, jumping from one to the next before anyone realizes you're there - you can access your host's memories (though you can't communicate with them directly), but you're not a perfect mimic, and you're bound to be under a lot of scrutiny. You hope to find a way to escape in one of these bodies, or even better, find a way to turn the tables on your pursuer.

The first PC possession will begin at the start of the second mingle, on November 22nd, and the Shade will jump hosts roughly once per OOC week/IC day, though you're welcome to arrange a shorter stint for your possession if you want to. The Shade can't communicate with its host, and while it can use the host's abilities and access their memories, it can't share its own memories with them. The host will remember everything the Shade says and does while in their body, but won't remember anything it did before possessing them.

Details on how the Shade was caught and exorcised from Tobi will be provided once they've been worked out by the players in question.
