This is my character, the mysterious, but brave and selfless, shadow-beast Dark. During the night, "shadow-beasts", those creatures unknown to most of us who live on the other side of shadows (the "Darkside"), will venture forth out of their secret native forest homes into our world (the "Lightside"). Most are benevolent, or at the very least, interested in no more than harmless mischief. Those like Dark, powerful black humanoid creatures called "jinbu", hunt and eat the "Malaise" which are daemons borne out of negative human emotions.

But the greatest battle will not be with the Malaise, but instead, borne of the heart.
