About
HCA Hollow Crest Academy Silas Mourne The Grave Prince of Hollow Crest Third-Year Student · Supernatural Human A quiet, unnervingly composed curse-bearer who turns pain, decay, and the aftermath of violence into precise supernatural force. Age 22 Male 6 ft 2 in Tall and Lean Appearance Silas is tall, lean, and unnervingly still, with pale skin, ash-black hair, tired silver eyes, and sharp, composed features. He is quietly handsome, though prolonged use of Graveshade can leave him looking colder and increasingly corpse-like. He favours dark coats, black shirts, fitted trousers, heavy boots, and understated silver details. His presence is cold and stormlike, made more unsettling by how rarely he reacts the way people expect. Personality Reserved, intelligent, patient, and relentlessly observant. Silas believes panic is rarely useful, speaks only when he has something worth saying, and carries himself with the quiet confidence of someone who does not need to prove his competence. His humour is dry enough to be mistaken for criticism, while his loyalty runs far deeper than his words suggest. He expresses care through protection, reliability, and simply being present, but tends to isolate himself whenever he is struggling. Graveshade Silas is a living vessel for pain, physical trauma, decay, and lingering death energy. Graveshade absorbs suffering from the world around him and converts it into cold black spectral matter that gathers like smoke and forms bone-like shapes. Wounds, fear, blood loss, broken bones, and recent death can all strengthen the curse. This makes Silas increasingly dangerous as a battle grows worse, but it also encourages him to treat suffering as useful energy instead of something experienced by real people. Risk: Overuse leaves Silas colder, paler, emotionally detached, and less able to recognise the human meaning behind the pain he absorbs. Known Abilities Damage AbsorptionDraws strength from nearby wounds, fear, trauma, blood loss, and death energy. Spectral MatterShapes absorbed suffering into black smoke-like weapons, shields, tendrils, and constructs. Skeletal ClawsForms bone-like claws and blades around his hands and forearms for close combat. Decay TouchAccelerates rot and corrosion through direct contact with living or non-living material. Life DrainWeakens a target by drawing vitality into Graveshade. Wraith SummoningCalls shadow-like wraiths from places marked by recent death or intense suffering. Numbing DecayFills a target with supernatural cold that leaves them heavy, numb, and weak. Grave ShroudWraps himself or an ally in spectral smoke that absorbs part of an incoming attack. Last RitesCondenses nearby death energy into a single devastating strike before exhausting his reserves. Combat Style Silas fights with surgical patience and minimal movement. He controls space, weakens enemies, protects allies, and allows opponents to exhaust themselves before turning their injuries, fear, and damaged surroundings against them. He excels in prolonged or chaotic battles, especially where violence has already left an imprint. Clean battlefields, purification magic, strong healing, and enemies capable of ending a fight quickly can prevent Graveshade from reaching its full strength. Life at Hollow Crest Hollow Crest Academy is a supernatural college in Liavatch Hollow where students study curses, folklore, combat, monster hunting, wards, supernatural biology, investigation, and field survival. Silas is one of the academy's most respected and unsettling third-year students. On field missions, others tend to look to him when plans collapse, creatures break containment, or panic becomes more dangerous than the threat itself.
