About the Character
Character Personality (Please give an in depth description of your character’s personality, must be at least 5 sentences):
Delay shares similarities in personality with the rest of his kin. The Heartless are unrelenting, undiscriminating, and dead to emotion. Delay is no less so. The paths of his mind are set on capturing the hearts of others, to consume anything that comes into his contact. one would think that Delay were totally irredeemable, but within the cavity of his being lie the slivers of his former self. The tatters of his personality sometimes show through the thick curtain of his nature as a Heartless. His former interests, certain names, odd twinges of nostalgia and old memories, these are all things that can potentially bring out some of Delay's real self. When he's in a more lucid state of mind, Delay can be almost playful in his ways - but with underlying, sinister tones. He can also be reasoned with, if caught in the right frame of thought. There's more to this Heartless in that he finds himself sometimes questioning his instinct, and compelled to contact his recollections. Whoever he was before consumption; he must have been a conflicted individual, torn between humanity and darkness.
Character Appearance (Please include such things as height, hair color, eye color, body type, clothing, weight, etc. You need to actually write a description. You may include a picture for reference. Must be at least 5 sentences):
Delay has a distorted, grotesque human shape, built with inky black skin like others of his kind. His frame is bony, and he twists like bending wire. His arms start thin, and end in more bulky forearms which are completed by beastly claws. Delay stands at 5'6", taller than most other Heartless. Whatever can be counted as his face appears like an ebony orb with a serrated jaw - like a large, pointy underbite. Two coldly yellow orbs mimic human eyes, they glow faintly in the dark. The creature has one long, jagged antenna which travels downward until it stops at his lower back. A bizarre, translucent material flows from his skin and forms something like material. This strange fabric sparkles slightly, and comes down from his hips and shoulders. It waves lightly in the air when he's excited or angered. Delay manifests his heart as much as possible to give himself some pseudo-density, he does this mainly for combat purposes to put weight behind his attacks. This density can put him between 80 - 450 lbs, but outside of combat he stays on the lighter side to aid his movement speed.

Character History (Minimum of 10 sentences required.):
Jyle Kenback was his name before consumption. A man who struggled with darkness, toiled with the night. A state of loneliness twisted the man into something he never wanted to become. An eccentric man on the borders of insanity. He was fascinated by the relationships between people, something he saw as rather innocent as long as he wasn't involved. There was irony in his interest, in that Jyle didn't have any friends to speak of. But he was a silent people-watcher. He became twisted into the lives of those who lived around him, like invisible thread. He would gently influence events in the lives of his neighbours, and watch their reactions. It started with pranks, then it was misunderstandings, then it was fraud. His secret endeavours to make people react had caused the community to spread blame across each other. Soon, the peaceful town Jyle called home was amok with slander, controversy, and shouting. Jyle had allowed his innocent hobby, his personal study of anthropology, to make him into a manipulator. Torn between regret and apathy, the man retreated to his home where he kept the company of himself.
He soon found himself talking to the shadows which danced across the walls.
Jyle talked to the dark, drawing himself deeper into a vortex of lunacy. He could never admit that he was involved with the disruption. The people wouldn't forgive him and that was okay, because he wouldn't say sorry. As he sank into the ethereal tar, Jyle chuckled. Life without a heart, a lobotomy of emotion. It was the perfect cure.
Delay arose from the darkened corners of Jyle's home - devoid for months and filled with dust. A Heartless which had already stirred evil in the minds of those around it. The hearts of the town were ready to be plucked, the seeds he had planted as a human were germinating like wild weeds. Delay slunk across the landscape like the cover of nightfall and dragged crooked claws along the people. Instinct guided his newly formed fingers. He consumed their hearts. And he liked the taste.

Sample Post (For first time character creators only. 10 sentences are required.):
The crooked shadow creature staggered across fading, cold, black flames. The embers which formed the Corridors of Darkness burned wearily in the void, no light to touch or hint at their shape other than the natural senses of a Heartless. Delay moved like a sleepwalker, dragging his wiry limbs along the ground, barely lifting his head to check the doors which lead into other realms. The Heartless' movements slowed and wound down gradually. He stopped all together once he found a door identical to the others. Turning his neck, craning yellow vision towards the door, Delay nodded to himself and blinked, satisfied. A voice clicked behind jagged teeth, like the winding of a clockwork toy. The speech was clear, but littered with strong ticks and clacks.
"Land of the Dragons."
The serrated smile lifted, his spherical eyes glowed. A thin arm came to meet the flowing, empty portal, his clawed hand passed into the freezing darkness. Wincing slightly at the feeling, Delay moved the rest of his form into the space of the door. An infinite second passed, wherein the familiar embrace of shadow melted into harsh, glaring light. The Heartless stepped out of the eternal passage and let himself sink into the ground on the other side.

Character Abilities (Maximum of 15 abilities allowed - please write your abilities in list form, starting with name & then description):
Pillar
Delay's strongest attack. A huge, ebony battering ram, covered with spikes, forms above the villain's body. With a swift motion, the column is flung across the arena causing serious damage to whoever connects with the pillar. [Cooldown: Once per battle]
Night's Spiral
Delay allows darkness to encompass him, spinning around in a whirlwind of destruction. Anybody unlucky enough to get swept into this tornado will suffer repeated damage until they escape. Delay can move around the field of battle with this attack activated in an attempt draw opponents into the gravitational pull. The spiral stops at Delay's next post [Cooldown: 6 posts]
Manifest Solidity
Until his next post, Delay manifests his darkened heart so much that his weight to increase to 450 lbs - that's a little heavier than an average lion. He uses this power to strengthen his next attack and cause great damage (if the hit connects with his target, of course.)[Cooldown: 5 posts]
Regress Solidity
The opposite of Manifest Solidity, during his next two posts Delay will forcefully disconnect himself from the darkness and causes his weight to fall dramatically. At these lower densities, he can move faster around the field and dodge attacks more effectively - at the cost of the abilities Pillar, Night's Spiral, Lockjaw and Cage of Claws. His general attacks also do less damage, he compensates for this by attacking more rapidly. [Cooldown: 3 posts]
Lockjaw
Delay uses his giant, sharp teeth to attach himself to the target and cause damage over time. This lasts until somebody takes the time to remove him manually, or until his next post. Lockjaw might cripple weaker characters and cause them to slow down in the battle.[Cooldown: 3 posts]
Cage of Claws
Using his large, pointed talons, Delay can grab his opponents in an attempt to chain them in his grasp for up to 2 posts after the attack starts. While a target is being grabbed, this Heartless will strangle and bite them to cause as much damage as possible until the opponent wriggles free. (This attack will most likely fail against larger opponents.) [Cooldown: 3 posts]
