The Shadow

[Shazam]

This is where I first started posting, fond memories  :wub:

Enough of that!

Well I have myself a shadow skin and pulp_ versatile mesh and hex, but I have no hero file.
Has anyone ever made a hero file for this character? If so, can someone who knows push me in the right direction please?
Failing that, could someone tell me more about the character.

The Shadow is a pretty rad character. He's had a few incarnations over the years, so people's interpretations will be different.

Personally, I'd give him whatever your standard human stats are. Perhaps like Black Jack in FFvsTR? I haven't played it in a while though, so I don't recall. I tend to make characters fast, so I might kick his speed up one.

For powers, I'd give him a standard punch and a small pistol fire, also a heavier pistol fire obviously costing more endurance. I might give him a shadow laugh panic attack, or... is there some kind of presence attribute in FFX? Maybe that instead. The radio show gave him the power to "cloud men's minds," which essentially means he can turn invisible. He can also, sometimes, hypnotise people. Essentially this is what he uses when he turns invisible, but you could use it as the standard FF power as well. I'd probably make it short range direct, with a high endurance cost. I dunno what other powers.

Attributes, he'd need crack shot. He's got a network of informants and is a master planner, so perhaps that leadership or luck one or whatever it is. Man, I can't even remember all the names of attributes anymore. Sorry. Maybe somebody else knows better.

There is a pulp resource group with a bunch of stuff, including a "Shadow Laughs" direct Panic attack. I believe they also have a hero file for him.

You might give him Fearless, and if you are using FF1 add Scary. He is also a martial artist, so hand to hand attacks will be in line. He can also disguise himself as pretty nearly anybody.
