Difference between revisions of "Blackshroud"

James Fisher's father was a hero. He was known as Nightshroud One of the few heroes on the westcoast. Growing up with his older brother Terry, they were trained and educated to follow in their father Jacob's footsteps when they came of age. "Destined for greatness" their father always said. And so, from adolescence, their father began teaching them his skills and secrets. Each year the training became more and more grueling. Jacob wanted to be sure that if his sons really wanted this life that they would be as prepared as they could be. After some time Jacob started taking the boys out on patrol with him. First just as spectators. Later on they began taking on small time criminals (purse snatchers) Terry took to it very naturally. It all just came to him so easy. James, however, always seem to struggle. He had to work twice as hard to be just as good. This caused some bitterness in James toward his brother. It also caused him to see things in the wrong light. James didn't want to be a hero anymore. He felt this life was forced on him.
Eventually their father began letting them go out on their own. This was when James started to truly rebel. He took the abilities he was taught and secretly used them for his own gain. Eventually his greed caught up to him though and forced him into a confrontation with his family. His brother and father caught him on the rooftop of city hall. James choose to run rather than face them. However while trying to escape he knocked his brother from the roof. The injury paralyzed Terry from the waist down. Jacob never put on the costume again, retiring to take care of his son.
