As Nightshade, Richard wheres black dress pants, a crimson button up shirt, a violet vest, a black tail coat, black leather boots, and a mask that looks like a ravens face.

History: Richard's father was human, his mother from Azarath. Richard was born on earth in jump city. Most of his child hood, he was bullied, because of his odd hair color. Richard spent most of his time with his nose buried in a book. Most often it was usually the works of Poe and Carroll. Then things started to change a bit when Richard turned 12.
When Richard was about 12 he discovered his powers.At first, Richard used his powers to take vengeance on those who had been mean to him. It started with petty tricks and pranks, but escalated to more serious stuff. Richard, after almost killing one of his fellow students, saw the error of his ways and decided to use his powers for good. His use of powers to stop crime started when he was 16, when he 1st dawned his costume and went under the name Nevar. Richard is now 18, and though a hero, still is affected slightly from his early childhood and teens.
Roleplay Example: It was a dark night in Jump City. All appeared to be normal, nothing out of the ordinary to report, for the moment at least. Richard Cross, as Nevar sat on top of a tall building, right in the notebook he always kept with him. Occasionally, Nevar would dip the quill he was writing with in a bottle of ink that sat next to him. Unless one was skilled at reading old documents, it would be hard to read what Nevar was writing in the notebook, as he wrote in a style like that of the times when feather quills were common. In the dark, Nevar heard a cry for help.
Nevar put the top back in his ink bottle, which he slipped into a pocket. Holding the notebook and quill at his side, he jumped off the top of the building. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Nevar shouted, using a combination of the coat he was wearing and telekinesis to create drag enough for him to land on the ground safely. Immediately, Nevar ran towards the direction of the noise and smirked when he saw a petty robbery taking place, just your standard mugger snatching a purse. Immediately, Nevar whispered the incantation again, and threw a nearby garbage can at the crook. After retreiving the purse and being thanked Richard went to his original place. Here, he once again started to write.
