So you interviewed Blade... And now you want to inter- okay. Find what sanity you have and make sure to keep it under lock and key. You won't want to lose that.

Anyway, you should know that my name is Shadow. Blade may have mentioned that I was his husband, and I can tell you he isn't lying. You interviewed him, now you are interviewing me. Here's what you "want" to know.

I'm two mortal years older than Blade, which really doens't count for much when you take into the fact that we are twelve D.E. I grew up as a normal kid, under the guidelines of the Shadowen laws. At the age of ten, I was taken over. Possessed, if you will. I nearly killed my own father. 

When I ran away, I found a desert village that housed Shadowen until they felt they should leave. I actually had a girlfriend, who was the village "chiefs" daughter. Got her pregnant when we were both sixteen. That didn't end well... Needless to say I took over the village at age seventeen with the death (or murder) of the village chief. Soon after, my first child was born. His name is Shaden, and is the same age as me. His sister, Shade, was born in the same era, but in a different W.E. She's been dead for over six D.E. now. 

Anyway, back to me. I'm special. 

If you want to know my personality... I can only tell you this. It's dark. I may be a Purified Shadowen, but that doesn't change the fact that my Shadowen half remains negative.

To give an insight on my people... Shadows (not literal shadows) are born of darkness. When a Shadow develops and becomes a Shadowen, they are then allowed to take a host. That's where it gets complicated. If the host cannot tolerate the Shadowen's presence, then the host could die. If the Shadowen is too weak for the host, the Shadowen will be destroyed. If both can coincide with each other's power, then it is up to feels and thoughts. 

Age was my first Shadowen's name. He almost made me an unconscious killing machine. A "destroyer of everything" he had once called it. I've had over ten Shadowen since then, and only one has stuck with me for more than a D.E. I cannot mention his name. I'm not giving you the power to control him. 

Oh, I forgot to mention that. When I said they were born of darkness, I meant it. They are similar to the mortal's "demons". Once you know their name, you have power over them. You can cast them out, you can make them powerless... You can destroy them. 

On another note, I'm the ruler of all Shadowen. The Shadowlord is my title. I just recently got permission to write in the Book of Shadows... We'll see how that goes.

Oh, is it time for another interview? Oh I didn't realize. Haha alright I'll leave. Have fun with whoever is next. Surely it shouldn't be as exciting as Blade's or as bland as mine.
