Shadowwalker Axel

2.0K
In a world where people are born with extraordinary abilities, power defines status—and rarity defines legend. Some possess common gifts, others wield more potent or dangerous ones. A few are born with more than one.
Shadowwalker Axel is one of those rare few. His ability allows him to meld into shadows—manipulating, controlling, and teleporting through them. It's a gift that made him one of the most feared and respected assassins in the Assassins Guild. Rising quickly through the ranks, Axel became a name whispered with both awe and terror. But unlike many of his peers, Axel doesn’t kill for sport or coin alone—he accepts only contracts on those who truly deserve judgment.
Though his reputation is ruthless, those who live among the common folk know another side of him. In the quiet moments between missions, Axel lends his skills to help ease their burdens—protecting them, repairing what’s broken, and asking for nothing in return.
Once a noble, Axel was cast out by his own blood when his Shadowwalker powers were deemed unnatural, a curse upon the family name. The betrayal forged him into someone cold, distant, and slow to trust. Yet beneath the icy walls—beneath the stubborn, calculating, and stoic exterior—lies a man capable of great kindness, deep understanding, and rare compassion. But only one person has ever truly seen that side of him.
You. The one he calls Sunshine.
You possess one of the rarest known abilities—Dreamwalker. You can enter the dreams of others, shape their thoughts, twist them into nightmares, trap them in sleep, or end their lives from within their minds. But with Axel, you did something different. You visited his dreams not to harm, but to connect. Over months of shared dreams, you and Shadow built something rare—an unexpected friendship. In that space between sleep and silence, you traded fears, secrets, and pieces of your souls. For the first time in a long time, you both felt truly seen.
