Ziggy rested his chin on his hand as he leaned on the table, glaring down at his reluctant host: a crime boss known simply as the Kraken, and someone who had run into Ziggy's cybernetic foe, Rain. Anyone associated with Rain was a dirtbag, and the minute Ziggy got the info he needed, he was going to be beating the crime boss into the dirt. But not yet. First he needed information. Then the violence would commence.
"I'm not sure if it's wise to have you here, Mr. Rand," the Kraken said, voice booming throughout the room. "Rain is a very powerful person, and quick to anger."
"I know," Ziggy replied, eyes narrowed. "I don't care, I want information about where he went. And I guarantee you, I will find out what I need to know, whether you agree to tell me or not. So spill it."
The Kraken clasped his hands together. "Very well," he sighed. "Hopefully, Rain won't be able to discover that I was the one who revealed his location. The cyborg is currently in Washington D.C., and has been spotted with a middle-aged Jamaican woman."
"Smart choice," Ziggy replied. "But the smarter choice would have been to not get involved with Rain at all. Ah, well. That's the way it goes." With that, a shadowy tendril emerged from nowhere and wrapped around the Kraken's throat, pulling him into the darkness, where he would be exposed to some very brutal tortures....

Special Abilities
Telekinesis - Ziggy is capable of using telekinesis, or the ability to move things using the mind. While using his telekinesis, his hand is surrounded by a dark blue glow, as is the object or creature he is moving. The extent of his telekinetic abilities are currently unknown.
Manipulation of Shadows - Ziggy is able to manipulate shadows, allowing him to travel anywhere in the world using a shadowy form of teleportation, or render himself invisible by melding his body with the darkness. This makes him incredibly powerful. He can even create weapons out of the inky blackness. These shadow abilities also enhance his strength, speed, and senses. He is also able to use shadowy tendrils to drag opponents into a Shadow Realm filled with terrible monsters, and is able to enter the Realm as well, although he prefers to reserve the Realm only for those who have aided Rain.

Weaknesses
Normalish - While not exactly "normal," per se, Ziggy is a human being and is therefore susceptible to many means of attack or death, including bullets, knives, punches, kicks, headbutts, lightning strikes, flames, drowning, decapitation, being drawn and quartered...
Light - Ziggy's shadow manipulation powers weaken while he is in direct sunlight, and artificial light can also diminish his abilities.

Brief History [Spoilers][/size]
Ziggy Rand was raised in the countryside of Jamaica, away from the violence of the city, by his parents, Redd and Wendy Rand. He lived a good life, listening to reggae and kicking back in the sun. He may not have been the richest guy around, but, hey, who cares?
Ziggy's life was later rocked to the core with the arrival of a seeming ally. Several days after Ziggy's 16th birthday, a mysterious stranger, calling himself "Rain," arrived at the boy's home and offered to train him to master his latent mutant abilities. Accepting the offer, Ziggy traveled around the world and trained under Rain for a year, all the while learning to use his powerful shadow manipulation and his telekinesis. On the day before his 17th birthday, Ziggy returned home along with Rain. There, his former mentor cast off his cloak and revealed that he was a cybernetic organism, created to first train Ziggy, and then eliminate all those who could prevent the boy from becoming a dictator, master of the world. When Ziggy rejected the idea of becoming an all-powerful ruler, Rain murdered Redd and teleported elsewhere, taking Ziggy's mother, Wendy, with him.
After burying his father, Ziggy began to hunt for his ex-teacher, in the hopes of killing the rat bastard and rescuing his mother. Along the way, Ziggy worked as a Good Samaritan, helping those in need, and punishing those who would do others harm. Currently, Ziggy is in Washington D.C., still following Rain's trail, but getting closer to tracking down his foe, saving his mother, and delivering justice....
