Shiv Meyers

Description

Name: Shiv Meyers (His last name is his from before death, but Shiv is just what he was called most. So that's the name he thinks he has. )

Species: Shiniko (Death Echo)

Forms: Human (original), Feline (Cave Lion)

Age of Death: 21

Height: 6'8''

Personality:  actually very considerate, helpful usually, naturally contented, pretty stoic though, has some sass, tends to be single focused when on a task, doesn't often open up what he's really thinking to people if it's serious, is nice enough outside of battle but is extremely cold and intense when given a target, a big goof when you get to know him, can't stand people he cares about being hurt or upset, very polite.

Abilities: Ultimate Tracker (He can find anything or anyone he’s set to find or hunt down if given enough time.  He can use this in the form of actually tracking down or, if given time and complete focus, he can close his eyes and mentally locate them.  When he mentally locates though, he in immobile and unresponsive to the outside world as if in a trance, making him extremely vulnerable. His eyes in this state tend to snap open as he tracks, revealing themselves in a strangely changed state. His eyes develop a bright glow and a thick yellow ring around his pupil.)
&
Bone Manipulation (This ability only works on his own body and he can not effect anyone else’s bones.  With this ability, he can change the structure, grow, and shift the shape of his bones into pretty much whatever he wants. He can use this ability to create anything from his bones, but they do cause damage. They actually break the skin if he has them protrude, causing a lot of damage. The more forcefully and quick he creates the manipulation, the more damage it is likely to cause. If he has time to prepare though and focus, he can make a rapid growth with little injury beyond breaking skin.)

House: House of Akinaten (Akinaten, the Dema of Death and Calamity)

House Ability:  Reaper Command (The ability to bind and direct phantoms to do their bidding.  The stronger the Shiniko, the more phantoms that can be controled at once.  However, the more powerful the phantom, the more likely it is to break free, turn on, or even corrupt its master.  If too many phantoms are taken on, the Shiniko can easily be turned as well.  In addition to binding and directing, this ability also allows Shiniko to call phantoms from all around to create a horde, but they can’t controll them all.)

Fun Facts!

~Voice: 
Speaking: Benedict Cumberbatch (Specifically in this role here in "The Imitation Game" [ youtu.be/nuPZUUED5uk ] ) He has a little less of a Brit accent and a little more of an American one, but it's dang close.
Singing: Hozier ( [ youtu.be/XoQvbDROucQ ] and [ www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0imaS… ])

~ Shiv actually can't feel any pain! Yep. That's right. It's a real medical condition called Peripheral Neuropathy, which basically means that he has no sense of touch at all.  That includes before he died as well.  He still has a sense of equilibrium, taste, smell, sight, and hearing, but not can't feel touch or temperature at all. 
~ Due to his lack of a sense of touch, Shiv is extremely accident prone and will tend to get himself moderately to severely injured on a regular basis.  However, since he can't feel it, he's often the last to notice and isn't nearly as concerned as he should be.
~ Just to be completely clear, he doesn't self harm. He honestly would see no point in it. He just gets hurt a lot anyway.
~ He wears protective kneepads, thick additions to his pants (knees and below), and wraps his hands in thick, red ribbon for extra protection against minor injury.
~ He'll wear a hoodie that he can unzip, but he doesn't wear a shirt because he just doesn't see the point. It's only going to get destroyed again so: why bother?
~ Shiv only has one animal form, a rare trait for Shiniko that would bother most, but he doesn't care much. Though, flying is something he wishes he could do.
~ Despite his Peripheral Neuropathy, he fights rather magnificently and is extremely coordinated in battle. He just is clumsy in everyday life.
~ Being in Akinaten's house, Shiv is given the order to kill a lot. He doesn't much care for killing, but he's awfully good at it and will when he is ordered to do so.  He's basically the hit man of Akinaten's house.  He also is quite good at capturing, but that's less common.
~ Though he is under one of the most dangerous and hated houses, he makes a concerted effort to remain content and friendly with others.
~ Unlike most of his housemates, Shiv will openly question Akinaten.  This does him no favors and he would still never outright defy or betray her, but he doesn't just blindly accept whatever she says.  He lets her know when he thinks she's wrong, but obeys anyway.
~ From his many, horrible kills and his life of regularly being exposed to horrors, Shiv has a hard time sleeping and often has nightmare, but he never tells anyone or makes a fuss about it. He tries not to worry about things like that. He also has a touch of PTSD, but few would know it based on how he acts.
~ He is basically the bane of Fyuro's existence. His mute, medic housemate is constantly patching him up and trying to impose rules on Shiv to keep him from further damage.
