Other Characters Played: None!
Preferred Housing: N/A

Character Name: Christopher Kent aka Lor-Zod aka Nightwing (Preferred/adopted name, birth name, secret identity/hero name)
Character Series: DC Comics (Action Comics)
Character Age: Chronologically 6, physically 18.
Background: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Lor-Zod_%28New_Earth%29
Personality: Chris, at heart, is a good kid. Both words being key players here. He does what he thinks is right, with a very good sense of duty and responsibility to boot. His ethics code is strong, even if he doesn’t always have a good moral argument to back it. He refuses to kill not because of a sanctity for life, but because he knows that killing is wrong-and besides, Superman wouldn’t do it, and Superman is a true hero. And a hero is exactly what Chris wants to be; not for the glory, not for the name, but because he aspires to be that good a person

Part of his willingness to do this, still, is what he went through as a child; while he’s overall pretty well adjusted, all things considered, being (both emotionally and physically) abused and tortured in your youth doesn’t just go away that easily. He’s a lot more emotionally mature and jaded than he sometimes seems, because of this; he was even when he was actually six, even before his mind’s development was accelerated. Of course, this also affected his sense of self-worth-while he’s not exactly self-deprecating, he’s pretty quick to jump to self-sacrifice. It also explains, if part, his eagerness to prove himself and be a ‘real hero.’ He knows he’s not worthless, but he still puts others way before himself. He’d much rather put himself out there and risk getting himself hurt than let there even be a chance his family could get hurt (in canon he rushes away to distract the people hunting him, even though they seemed to have missed his presence; he’s worried that they’ll double back and hurt his mother, Lana, or any number of the

Chris is also supposed to be host to a deity called Nightwing, which has its own abilities. While he is host to it, he gains a few more abilities, related to the shadows. He gains a perception of what occurs in shadows-he can peak into shadows to detect what is there, for example feelings of pain, or the presence of someone; I’m assuming that this would be limited in the exact way telepathy would be. He also gains limited teleportation-he can travel through shadows, to an extent (we never really see how far this extends). He can also manipulate shadows to a minor degree-for instance, he can make proverbial arms out of the shadows to pull on someone, things like that.
