Name: Silas/Bane Richardson
Type: Wiccan/Witch, though he prefers to be called a Warlock or a Caster.
Age: 14
Personality:Silas has a split personality, one is Silas, the other is named Bane.
Silas, the usually dominant personality, is quiet. He doesn't like to talk, and when he does, it's always with small hints of sadness. He's never mean and is always nice to people, almost to the point of being completely submissive and passive. He figures the best way to never get hurt is to never let anyone get angry with you or close to you. When he can tell you just want to be friendly with him, he will open up to you and be very nice. He'll even talk openly with you. Sort of... He likes to make people smile and feels good when his friends are happy.
Bane, the normally dormant personality, on the other hand is loud, obnoxious, more than a little sarcastic, and pure evil. He is everything that Silas isn't. Meaning his good traits are the opposite of Silas's. He's confident, but not to the point of arrogance. He's always in a good mood, which for him means wanting to torture and kill people. He likes to fill people with the worst nightmares and destroy their dreams. He is always watching through Silas's eyes and is constantly assessing whether or not Silas is too weak to handle the situation. He doesn't do so out of care or concern. It's mostly out of self-preservation, and the need to beat things to a pulp. For the most part, Silas usually holds him back with sheer will, as Bane feels that he should be the dominant personality. He's always insulting Silas and trying to wear him down so he can assert himself for good.
Appearance:Silas is skinny for his age, as just a little bit short sitting at about 5'4". He weighs about 97 lbs and is more scrawny than muscled. He has black hair and brown doleful eyes that make you want to befriend him. He likes to wear what appears to be a private school uniform, but each day it's never quite the same one. The color of the blazer and tie will change, sometime's he'll forego the blazer and just wear the collared shirt with the tie and vest. It depends on how he feels that day. Most always though, he will wear a black vest with a perfectly white collared shirt, a varying colored tie, khaki pants or dark dress slacks, and dress shoes. He likes to look nice. He will, on occasion, dress casually and wear jeans. When he does, however, he will always wear nice jeans with a collared shirt and a sweater underneath with a matching tie.
Bane's appearance is almost completely the same as Silas, the magic in their body doesn't change him much physically. There is one slight difference, however. When Silas subsides and Bane comes out, his eyes will turn golden and his smile becomes disconcerting, it turns more into a confident, evil smirk, showing off his slightly more prominent canines. His constant good mood is off-putting and not cheerful in the slightest. Bane is much stronger that Silas, however, he only appears when he believes Silas doesn't deserve to be in control of their body because he is too weak.

Abilities:Being a Witch, Silas has many darker powers that he has been practicing for use in combat, just in case, as well as the ability to physically hold his own in a fight, he has to in order to combo his spells. However, in combat, he focuses on non-lethal discouragement of the enemy, using holds and redirecting attacks. He also knows practical magic, like scrying. Here is a list of things he can do:
Intention Sensing: Silas can feel your will to hurt someone else, including himself. He will try to use words to deter you from fighting with him or anyone if he can feel you're intending to hurt them. He can also feel if you want to be friendly with him or with others. He uses this "intuition" as a warning about a person's attitude and reacts accordingly.
Draining Aura: Silas constantly exudes an aura of draining, negative energy. This energy can suck the physical, and mystical strength from your body and make you feel extremely fatigued. This aura is constantly being suppressed by Silas, who hates it, though he is learning to control it. It used to be that the best he could do was to pull the aura into his skin, making touching him lethal. He had to wear gloves and cover most of his body due to the dangers presented by touching him. As it is now, after a lot of training, Silas can manipulate the aura around him enough to completely mitigate the effects of the aura. Unlike Bane, he doesn't use it for Combat, he instead uses it to suck the energy out of people to knock them out, then invade their dreams with his dream walking ability and use lucid dreaming techniques to fight them in their own dream world, effectively making himself a god so his opponent doesn't feel like fighting him.
Dream Walking: Silas can enter the dreams of people he puts to sleep. In their dreams he becomes something of a god and can give himself any power he desires, it's a dream after all. However, if the person who is dreaming realizes it's a dream, they can fight back with the same "lucid dreaming" techniques.
Shield of Darkness: Silas can cover his body with a shield that repels attacking energy. As long as he can tell you want to hit him, you cannot break his shield, unless he becomes too fatigued from holding up the shield, or he cannot sense your intent to attack him. This shield is an extension of his aura. It sucks away some of the energy from attacks and protects Silas and whomever he chooses to shield with it.
Smoke Form: Silas learned to turn his body into smoke, as an extension of the control of Bane's aura, from Bane himself. In this state, Silas can't attack, but he is impervious to all damage.
Bane, on the other hand, is a demon in battle. He is everything Silas isn't, therefore, he loves to duke it out with everything that moves. He doesn't do it for friendly competition, he does it to torment and kill the people he's fighting with. Bane's abilities are much more focused on destruction and damage than Silas's, who focuses more on discouraging the attacker and defending himself. Bane's prowess and presence on the battlefield are prodigious. He is a natural fighter and a perfect soldier, never retreating, and never surrendering. He is strong, and not to be trifled with. These are the powers he has in his arsenal:
Aura: Bane is constantly surrounded by a twisting, shadow like aura. While Silas suppresses his aura, Bane's aura is constantly oozing from his body, simply due to the fact that he cannot contain it if he tried. There's simply too much raw power. The size of Banes aura is directly proportional to the amount of energy he is currently using. The amount of energy required to sheathe his body is roughly 1/16th of his maximum power. The aura has the same properties as Silas's draining touch on a smaller scale because it's spread out. Just like Silas's touch, just being around Bane makes you just feel bad, like your strength is draining from your body and your will to fight is fading. This aura improves the body's capabilities. It makes Bane stronger, faster, and react quicker, Silas's drain stems from this ability.
Aura Materialization: Bane can convert his raw, unholy aura into a physical object that will only maintain its form as long as it's touching his body. Most often he will create claws like meat hooks jutting out from the backs of his hands. He can use it to create scales that shrug off damage, even mystical or elemental attacks, and wings capable of actual flight. He'll even create horns on his head, just to look like a devil. When the aura is solidified, it loses the majority of it's draining properties and converts the absorbed energy to heat, burning whatever it touches. His aura is like playdoh. It can mold into different shapes, however, when shaped, it's draining properties are mostly substituted with heat. He can however, directly absorb heat energy.
Equipment:Silas and Bane have a good sized wardrobe. Their clothes are sponsored by the institute. Further, they like to carry around a satchel with his drawing notebook and a book of common spells, like scrying, analyzing, communing, and projection. He has a little bear named Tibbers that's been horribly disfigured. It's limbs are all stitched on poorly, its eyes and buttons are haphazardly sewed on and the overall feeling one gets from Tibbers is fear and discomfort. Silas, however, loves Tibbers to death and will be very sad and depressed if he were to lose it, allowing Bane to transfer over easily.
Recently, Silas has taken to leaving Tibbers in his room. He instead carries around the wand that Riley gave him. The wand is made specifically for Silas, Bane is completely unable to use it. The wand is a perfect conduit and amplifier for Silas's energy, making it a powerful tool.
History:Silas grew up in the Facility. His parents were known Wicca, powerful and dark. They would rather die than surrender their son and live a life of isolation from the natural world. They didn't want their powers and souls to be contained by some anti-septic government sink-hole. The government on the other hand, wanted desperately to control all the magical creatures of the world. The argument grew heated and turned into a full scale battle. His parents lashed out with their magical might, becoming everything the government feared about the Wicca. Finally, they called in a specialist, a Witch Hunter. The hunter managed to separate baby Silas from his parents who made a deal that if they gave them selves up, Silas could go free. Instead, they killed Silas's parents and took him. Using their last breath to give a small fraction of their powers to Silas, in order to protect him, they died, leaving baby Silas in the hands of the Facility X faculty. The power they left him was too mature for his use, too dark and full of their hate for the government. It fractured his mind, creating Bane who was locked away from Silas until he was old enough, strong enough, for Bane to have a reason to take over his body. Silas and Bane have been in the Facility ever since. Silas still doesn't know who his parents were and why he's grown up away from them. He believes the government took him away from the world because he's too dangerous. Bane knows the real story, but he's too infuriated by Silas's weakness to actually force himself to tell him.
