ABILITIES:
SKILLS:
WEAKNESSES:
- Blood Manipulation: Shane is able to bend blood both outside and inside the body to his will. He's able to harden it and make it solid - similar to turning water into ice - as well as manipulate it in it's liquid form. It's easier for him to manipulate blood when it's outside of the body. Manipulating blood inside the body is much harder, takes far more concentration, and would take a greater toll on himself. He's also currently unaware that he can manipulate blood inside someone's body as he's never tried to do that before.
SKILLS:
- Multilingual Language: He's fluent in English and both American and British sign language and will often still sign when talking out loud.
WEAKNESSES:
- Only Human: His power grants him no protection from weaponry or diseases. He's as vulnerable as the average non-powered human.
- Deaf: He requires hearing aides in order to hear as clearly and loudly as able-bodied people. He doesn't consider being deaf to be a weakness and isn't ashamed of it.
- PTSD: He has trauma from his parents' experimentations, occasionally being kept up by nightmares from it.
- Lip Reading: Lip reading is a lot harder than most people think - thus he cannot accurately understand every word someone says by reading their lips.
- Self Esteem: He struggles with low self-esteem because of the lack of attention from his parents, feeling as if he wasn't good enough for them to care about him.
- Self-Harm: It is possible for him to become desperate enough for blood to manipulate in order to protect himself or someone he cares about that he would harm himself to get it.
- Physical Toll: Depending on the strength he uses his power at and how much he pushes his limit, his blood manipulation often takes a toll on his body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
- Anxiety: He can get overwhelmed easily in busy or loud environments.
- Trust Issues: He was betrayed by his parents and thus is slow to trust others but it can greatly help when someone he already trusts vouches for them.
Appearance
GENERAL: Shane stands at five feet and seven inches tall. He has a hazel skin tone and short, black hair. The irises of his eyes are golden-brown. He has some scars littering his arms that he prefers to keep covered. He doesn't have a distinct style of clothing, though he does often prefer clothes he can hide himself in, so-to-speak, and prefers to not stick out.
COSTUME: Shane's costume is all black with gold accents. He wears pants, ankle high boots, a long sleeve shirt with an aviator jacket on top, gloves on his hands, a domino mask covering his eyes, and a bandanna around his neck.

Personality
Shane is a pretty introverted person, mostly shy around people he doesn't know but occasionally shy around those he does. He's a quiet person and prefers quieter scenarios. He can easily get anxiety when feeling overwhelmed from things such as a lot happening in his life or even just being caught up in a crowd. He's more of the type to listen and wait to speak, if he speaks at all.
He's protective by nature, though more on the cautious than reckless side. He's slow to trust after being betrayed by his own parents but he tries not to let that stop him from meeting new people. He's doubtful of his ability as a hero, not sure if he's actually doing any good, but continues doing it because Julian believes in him and he doesn't want to let him down.

History
Shane was born the only son of Damian and Rebecca Keller, scientists working for the Astaria Institute for Health and Technology. Growing up, he thought he had a normal life - normal, loving parents. He didn't know that his whole life his parents were experimenting on him. They would take him to their work and see his reactions to certain chemical compounds they created. He never knew they were the cause of all those days he spent sick. He never figured it out until it was too late.
When he was sixteen, he was injected with an unknown chemical that fused with his blood. This time he was sick for months and was held at the Institute, watched over by his parents. That was when his ability manifested. That was when he started putting two and two together and realized his parents were the cause of his suffering. He'd overheard them discussing about an experiment when they'd thought his hearing aides weren't in. He panicked, ripped his IV out, and his ability manifested.
Naturally he bled when he ripped the IV out - an action he doesn't recommend - and seeing that scared him even more. In his panic, he manipulated his own blood to keep it in his body and even managed to cause the wound to scab over. He ran away from the Institute and his parents, refusing to go home.
He lived on the streets, often hanging out near the local high school where he met and became close friends with Julian Stane. He ended up living with the Stane siblings until he was eighteen and got into a local program meant to help homeless youth get into the local university. He moved into the dorms with his best friend and started school as a marine biology major. About roughly a year ago, he dawned the identity of Ichor to fight crime alongside Julian, occasionally teaming up with the other Stane siblings.
