Here's a bit of a rundown on Nightshade's abilities, his looks, personality and more.

Age: 18
Gender: Male/Stallion
Species: Anthro Earth Pony Conduit
Appearance: He's around 6 foot 9 tall, light grey, almost a color of ashes coat, with black mane and tail in an unkempt style with white tips.
Cutie Mark: His mark is of a two headed bird in a star position, one half red, the other white. (represents is neutral Karma) but as of now, its the same with the exception of the white half turning light blue and being a bit bigger while the red side shrunk a bit. (now representing his karma being good, for now)
Clothes: He wears a black and red plaid shirt, skinny jeans, Eris black sneakers, a black sweatshirt with hoody, a sleeveless custom made jacket, on the back of the jacket was a two headed bird in a star position, one half red, the other white. (but with his choice, it change the same as his cutie mark, representing his Karma)

Bio: Nightshade was a special case. 10 years ago, he discovered that he held powers over smoke and embers, triggered after an accident that unlocked his Conduit genes, in which it also cause his father's death. Genes he inherited from his ancestor, Delsin Rowe. After 10 years of practice, he has mastered the 'gifts' revealed to him as a mere child. Today, on his 18th birthday, he is on the train to Ponyville, to start a new life there and to continue his training. But he doesn't know of the other 'gifts' he inherited from his ancestor, nor of the new ones he'll get.

Here's the list of power's he has so far in the story:

Smoke Powers
-Drain Smoke
-Smoke Dash
-Air Boost (like Car Boost, but uses the smoke inside his body that is stored up and pushes it through his feet to launch himself into the air)
-Smoke Thrusters
-Vent Dash Advance (can go through any area that has smoke flowing through, like a chimney and heals up a bit every time he does it)
-Smoke Shot
-Cinder Blast
-Sulfur Bomb
-Cinder Missile
-Orbital Drop (once available after Karma choice)

Magic Powers(with his karma choice picked, his magic will be a light blue till further notice and his powers will be a mix from a few series till further notice, so bare with me)
-Magic Blast (till further notice)
-Flash Step (till further notice)
-Shinra Tensei (till futher notice)
-Kinetic Pulse (till further notice)

His weapons as of know are these:

-Enhance Long Chain: a gift he got from Luna when she send that help signal through her magic that was absorb by Nightshade through Nightmare Moon's Magic.

-Long Katana: a rust up sword, turn katana when Nightshade fully took Nightmares Moon Magic and uses to fight her off to ready the Elements, a bit of the Elements magic is fused in the Katana, but they don't know it.....yet.

So for now this the basic run down, if during the story he has anything new added to him or any new skill or ability I will add it here and put a notification next to the title of this chapter like this => (Update) if this is added, then something new his added here and it will be on it for three days, once the days pass I'll take it off till I add something new to it and also if you want a bit more of a background story for Nightshade let me know it the comments.

Also am still working on the next chapter, didn't have much time, since I got a new job and its leaving me tired, so I tend to fell asleep sometimes, if not......often, so be patience with me and my grammar for those, as I friend likes to call them 'Grammar Nazi' so bare with me on this.

So I hope this side of a chapter of our hero, helps out a bit in knowing him and his skill set, etc. tell me what you think or if you want to add something to him (nothing drastic) or a small comment on him, until the next chapter, later!!!!
