A figure was visible in the moonlight, although just barely save for his scarlet eyes. He leaned on the wall of an empty building at the city outskirts, the structure abandoned. Or, at least it was. The skittering of claws on concrete could be heard inside, movement from his creations. He couldn't bring himself to absorb them back into himself, especially when he had the power to go without doing so. He shifted slightly, cutting himself on something. Pitch black smoke rose out of the wound in his pitch black "skin", long since stopped bleeding blood. The young man, with his strange power. He let it consume him, literally. Now he was but a being of smoke and darkness itself like the creatures he created. His transformation made his ability to use his unique combination of umbrakinesis and manipulation of smoke very effective.
The young man continued to look at the moon, using his power to make another creature of smoke and darkness. He pointed, the entity running towards the main city now, barely visible. He walked into the dark building as the creature vanished from sight.
So. Guy with umbrakinesis and smoke manipulation with a small army of creatures made using the power, and the guy is now like one of them. This'll be a thing for a couple of missions. Yeah.
