Lore
Phantom - or, as called by its creators, The Numina Project - is a being of great power. It was an attempt to create a deity or something of great power to serve mankind, a great show of hubris and not realizing that creating something like this would have consequences. When its creators realized the disastrous consequences of its existence, they locked it into its tank/chamber where it was grown and made. The laboratory was abandoned, buried, with any records of its existence wiped.
It was many years later that the project managed to gain some consciousness/sentience. It is kept in a mostly sleeping state, but it has some ability to project extensions of its will - called āShadesā or āPhantomsā - into the real world, away from where it was made.
These manifestations of itself wander the world, taking in the sights and sounds, though they cannot feel or taste or smell. These creatures are incorporeal. These creatures wander, searching for someone or something that can free it from its underground prison.
Though, freeing it may lead to disastrous consequencesā¦

Pt. 1 /
Abilities
Contained
It can create the Shades/Phantoms, it can channel its telepathic abilities through these shades. It can create shades of many shapes and forms, and cause areas to be cloaked in shadow.
It seems to be immortal, though it is unsure of how long it has existed, it knows it shouldnāt be alive.
Freed
It is unclear⦠though it is obvious that if it ever manages to escape the confines of its chamber it will be deity-levels of powerful. Capable of great destruction, or great creation.
Appearance(s)
Physical Body (āNuminaā)
It doesnāt know what it looks like until it is out of the chamber. It can be assumed that is is humanoid. Once out of the chamber, it has pale skin (near sheet-white), and very long, inky black hair that flows like it is still in liquid, its hair seems to absorb all of the light around it. Its eyes are pitch black, seeming to suck in all of the light around it, like its hair. It appears to be more feminine than masculine. It has some purple - sometimes glowing - markings.
While its shades are very fluid, the physical form of Numina isnāt fully static either. Sometimes things will seem off. Like height, face shape, hair length, subtle things. Other times it will just grow new limbs or body parts or something. Like eyes, wings, antlers, extra set of arms, tails, etc. Nothing is static with this creature.
Phantoms
These appear as shadows. Even in bright areas, it is a dark shadow. It appears as a 3D shadow, even. Occasionally, they can appear to have a glitching effect, or something parts of it can go invisible/somewhat transparent.
They can come in many forms, humanoid, as a creature, or blobs or random other shapes.
Voice claims
Physical Body āNuminaā (non-shade) - Nyx (Hades)
Phantoms (telepathy) - Chaos (Hades & Hades II)
Celestial Being - Chaos & Nyx (imagine their voices stacked and then thereās multiple other layers of voice under them, like thereās many many people speaking in unison)
Personality
It is pretty aloof. Not because itās trying to act cool, but because it is constantly only about half-conscious. It gets attached easily. Talking to it, especially if you praise or are nice to it will likely result in your shadow being a bit darker than usual, maybe even having white eyes.
