I was reminded of him by some art on a friends site because his power was that he was one with the shadows (in fact he is shown holding a shadow-blade here) and their art was of a being who also moved through and could control the shadows...

I am not a very experienced blogger, but I wanted to get something up on the net to communicate and develop my ideas in a realm other than my own imagination. I have in my mind a concept about a strange and alien world, which I call Asura. It is a place of obscure origins and home to several unique factions. These warring factions each consist of a race of super-powered beings who use varying abilities; including magical, technological, and biological weapons in their quest for dominance. I hope to get some art and a more detailed introduction up here soon. Any feedback (constructive criticism, please, I didn't create this to get trashed) would be very welcome, and so feel free to write to me at &lt;a href="mailto:mikeadams@mail.com"&gt;mikeadams@mail.com&lt;/a&gt; and I look forward to hearing from you. ~Mike&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2914741974152127396-8171558855434493323?l=factionsofasura.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://factionsofasura.blogspot.com/feeds/8171558855434493323/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2914741974152127396&amp;postID=8171558855434493323' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2914741974152127396/posts/default/8171558855434493323'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2914741974152127396/posts/default/8171558855434493323'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://factionsofasura.blogspot.com/2007/03/factions-of-asura-first-post.html' title='The Factions of Asura -First Post'/><author><name>BlueLobster1979</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15143388301626067693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
