Character Name: Mister Scratch
Series: Alan Wake
Canon Point: Post!Control DLC
Abilities: DUE TO THE NATURE OF MISTER SCRATCH AS A CHARACTER, ALL ABILITIES THAT AFFECT OTHER PLAYERS WILL BE OPT-IN. I WILL BE SETTING UP A PERMISSIONS POST ON HIS JOURNAL SO INDIVIDUALS CAN SET THEIR DESIRED LINES.
Mundane Skills: Well, mundane in that they're non-powered - Scratch is a killer, plain and simple. And he's good at it. He's vicious, quick, strong, and very good with melee weapons. Not much for guns though.
Beyond his capacity for violence, he's mostly just good at being charming when he wants to be. He's every tabloid story of a famous writer with a bad reputation made flesh, so he's got kind of a sleazy charm thing going for him. He's a smooth talker with a pretty face and he knows it.
Herald of Darkness - Mister Scratch is an avatar for a massive, ageless Darkness entity. He has been created specifically to take the place of Alan Wake in the real world while the writer is imprisoned, but even his true name is unpronounceable.
Being what he is, even beyond his evil demeanor, he has an aura of Darkness around him. Some people find it magnetic and attractive, generally people who are attracted to vice or people who also have a dark streak themselves. Most people, however, will find that he has an aura that makes their skin crawl.
Shadow Manipulation - Being a being of Darkness means he can control it. He can summon shadow, move it around, and make it cling to places. He can also blow light bulbs, short fuse boxes, et cetera in order to make a place darker.
He can also use the shadows to teleport short distances, but only to other places that are dark already.
Poltergeists - He can imbue objects with Darkness to make them hostile - enough light can burn away the effect, but until it does, these objects will hurl themselves at people, fly around, even run themselves if they are machinery.
Possession - This one is the biggie. It's not classic possession, per se, but more of a darkening of a person's essence. A mild case causes a person to be almost euphoric, a caricature of the darkest parts of themselves. They'll avoid light, and they'll be dazed, not quite in control, and more inclined to obey what Mister Scratch asks.
If left too long in the darkness or if they let themselves relinquish too much control, they can become Taken. They turn violent, wreathed in darkness, and shrieking a handful of random things they might normally say like an action figure with a limited prerecorded voice bank. Light will actively hurt them, and being taken out completely is the only way to dispel the darkness within them. (It will not remain after resurrection.)
Six Items: A foldable Razor scooter, a bloody hunting knife, a garotte, a defaced head from a cardboard cutout, and two half gallon bottles of barrel strength whiskey.
