Darrow Heart

This page has been archived. Its content is no longer necessarily relevant or accurate on the game anymore.

Darrow was sheltered for a long time, protected because of his metahuman nature. But now he's finally getting out into the world for the first time. He's a recent arrival at Sky High and thus far has been quiet, keeping mostly to himself as he observes those around him. He has a love of music, books, and film.

Personality

Darrow is a gentle soft-hearted soul with a love of life, music, and art. He's lived a very sheltered life and so has a certain degree of inexperience and lack of understanding of pop culture, streetwise experience, or normal socialization, though he is starting to catch on.

Background

Darrow's mother gave him up when he was very young. She left him with her mother and took off, never to be heard from again. His grandmother doesn't talk about her much, and Darrow only knows what he can piece together from the things of hers he found in the house. His mother had considered him a freak. He was born with strange lumps on his back which were a source of ridicule as a child, though as he grew they eventually sprouted into beautiful white feathered wings, granting him the gift of flight.

Darrow had always had an affinity for living things. He loved animals and had a small garden out behind his grandmother's house that he tended. Living things seemed to flourish around him, but it wasn't something that he controlled or really even realized. His healing abilities were something he discovered at a fairly young age.

His grandmother, fearing for his safety out in the world, kept him homeschooled and protected, not letting him have many experiences that were unsupervised. But his grandmother fell ill and while she still lives in the house that he grew up in, she now needs constant care, and Darrow has found himself sent off to Sky High, a place where he can learn about his abilities and actually go to school with others who are more like himself.

SIGNATURE ABILITY

Resurrection

Darrow is infused with the essence of life itself. He possesses it in such quantities that it passively causes living things to flourish around him at times. One of the most dramatic effects of this power is that of resurrection. If a living being dies and he can get to them fast enough, he can pour his entire reserve of life energy into that being in an attempt to bring them back to life. Whether he is successful or not, the act drains him entirely and leaves him unconscious and vulnerable to recover over the course of several days.

SKILLS

Artistic - Competent Level

Darrow is artistic and can draw, sketch, and paint with some skill.

Athletics - Competent Level

He is athletic as well as acrobatic, and likes to play sports though his wings and flight can alternately give him an advantage or a disadvantage.

Empathy - Competent Level

He has an innate sense of how others are feeling and can relate to them -- easily able to read body language and situations even when he doesn't understand what's being talked about.

Musician - Competent Level

Darrow can play the guitar as well as the piano.

ABILITIES

Power: Farsight - Enhanced Level

Darrow has excellent sight akin to that of a bird of prey, able to see even very small creatures and their movements at incredible distances. He can easily read small text from across a room or pinpoint someone in a crowded stadium by sight alone.

Power: Flight - Enhanced Level

Darrow has the ability to fly and his body has been adapted to flight, from being lighter than that of an average human of the same height and build, his eyes can withstand the speeds and altitude of flying, as well as his lungs. He has excellent control, able to perform aerial acrobatics.

Power: Healing - Supreme Level

Darrow is suffused with life energy and he can focus that energy into another living being to heal wounds, cure diseases, mend broken bones, and even regrow limbs that have been lost. He uses his own excess life force to do so, pouring that energy out of himself and into another.

Power: Strength - Enhanced Level

Darrow has enhanced strength, allowing him to carry another person while in flight. While on the ground, he has the power of a peak human athlete as far as lifting and applying pressure goes. He'd have a particularly powerful punch if he had any training in combat.

ADVANTAGES

Family

Darrow's grandmother is still alive and out there in the city and she will still provide shelter for him if he ever needs a place to stay. She is, however, not supportive of the use of his abilities, considering them unnatural, and would have kept him homebound if she had the strength to do so.

Sky High

Darrow is a student at Sky High and so has access to instruction from the teachers there as well as the library and other resources.

WEAKNESSES

Life Force

While Darrow possesses and very quickly regenerates a large amount of life energy, in excess of what he requires for himself, this life force is not without limit. Excessive and extensive use of his healing abilities will drain him over time to the point where he will require rest, or even pass out, and be unable to protect himself until he regains strength.

Sheltered

Darrow was kept very sheltered as a child by his grandmother and as such has missed out a lot on pop culture and normal socialization.

Soft Heart

Darrow is a soft-hearted person. There's not a cruel bone in his body. He has difficulty witnessing cruelty to others, and will almost always try for a peaceful solution to things.
