Complications
Not from around here. (Unfamiliar with Earth)
Not from around here. (Prejudice vs. aliens)
Overconfident. (It’s not like this is really dangerous.)
Proud. (You won’t see me acting like that.)
Destined to rule. (Why yes, I am a Prince.)
Reluctant to rule. (But not yet a king.)
Protective of others. (Get behind me, I’ll protect you.)
Youth. (Is that an old guy thing?)

Darkaal is the son of Mikaal Tomas, a native of Talok III, who was sent to Earth to scout the way for an eventual invasion.
Mikaal smuggled his lover, Lyysa, with him when he suspected her life was in danger because of her outspoken resistance of the warlike regime.
With her by his side, he found he could not follow the directives of his military commanders and instead, protected his new world under the name Starman, using the powers granted him by the Sonic Crystal bonded to his chest.
For a time, he was a member of the Justice League.
When his ex-commander Komak followed him to Earth, he learned a civil war between multiple warlords had started on his homeworld.
He returned to Talok III with Komak after taking Lyysa to the nearby world of Talok VIII for safety.
While Mikaal fought to save what he could of the Talokites, Lyysa gave birth to their son in the caverns which would later become known as the Caves of Shadows.
Previously unknown, the Caves contain portals to the Plane of Shadows and the new-born was born into their energies.
Cardinaal, a Shadow created as a side effect of Darkaal's birth, has been a constant companion to him, though technically Cardinaal is a native of Shadow.
Blind in normal light, Darkaal is, in many ways, an avatar of that plane.
Raised to be a protector to the refugees Mikaal re-located to the world, Darkaal’s parents have sent him to Earth to learn to govern his world without resorting to the war-like ways of Talok III.
Using some of his father's leftover scouting equipment to pass as human, he has been studying governing and political philosophy at several of the world's best universities.
Using the name Darwin Kail Thomas, he has ID listing him a citizen of Australian descent, with citizenship and residence in Toronto, Canada.

Appearance
Using his gear, he is is a slightly built, dark skinned male of medium height, who appears in his late teens or early twenties, with dark hair, who constantly wears dark glasses.
Seen without it, his build and age are the same, but his skin and hair become dark blue and his ears are tall and pointed.
The glasses become dark goggles, seemingly made of darkness itself.
On the rare occasions he remove them, his eyes are dead black and non-reflective.

Additional Rules
1. Don't Deny. If someone says something is true, try to accept it and add to it, rather than saying "no, that isn't true."

2. Don't use open ended questions. Offer opportunities. Don't say "What do you want to do?" Say, "Should we attack?" or "Should we attack or observe?"

3. Make your partners look good. Set up the goal with an assist, throw a block for your partner. Give everyone an opportunity to shine.

4. Tell a story. Advance the story, make it all make sense.
