General Information
Full name: Alexander Sorel Nickname: King Ghidorah (Orochi Eight, yes really), Iskander (Facade), and Nightmare Darklight, which he goes by Age: 23 Gender: Male Race: Candeoan Faction: Orochi, one of the Orochi Eight Birthplace: Viva la Vida Occupation: You know that really popular yet fruity stylist in Viva la Vida? That's Night.
Appearance
Height: 6'0 Weight: 158 lbs Eye color: Blue Hair color and style: Shaggy Blonde, or Shaggy Brown, depending on if he's dying it or not. Identifying marks: None really Clothing: His clothing isn't exactly what you'd consider out of place. He's aware that he needs to blend in, and does his best. He prefers to wear a white dress shirt, untucked, with a black jacket covering the shirt, white stripes going down the sleeves. The lower half of his attire also matches with everything else, being a pair of black dress pants with matching shoes as well.
No, I'm not making costume porn.
Powers
Type of Power: Growth
Manifestation: Growth manifests itself in Nightmare's body really. If he wills it, he can manipulate any part of his body, and even regrow. While Nightmare can use this to say, create armblades by extending bone, and hardening and sharpening it. Or he can make himself superhuman for a bit by strengthening his muscles or tissue. He can also use this for regeneration. With this, he can regrow lost tissue, muscle, and bone, thus allowing him to regenerate nearly any part of his body.
He can also use this to strengthen parts of his body. If he uses it on his eyes, he more or less has night vision, and can see up to twenty kilometers off in the distance. Hearing becomes superhuman if used on ears, and smell if used on nose and whatnot.
There are however, downsides. Using this for anything other than regrowing lost parts or strengthening what is already intact causes immense pain. If done too much too quickly, he could very well black out, so when in battle, he usually keeps several syringes of morphine on him for use to dull the pain.
The other con, is that he simply cannot regenerate any lost blood with this power. Using it as a weapon causes bleeding, and therefore blood loss. While Nightmare will regain lost blood over time like any normal human being, he cannot use his powers to regain it.
Strengthening things like the eyes come with individual setbacks. By strengthening the parts, he makes them more susceptible. Superhuman eyes are more susceptible to bright things like flashbangs. Superhuman ears are more susceptible to loud sounds and things like that really.

Type of Power: Matter
Manifestation: A glove he stole from the KV Labs, this is an experimental device that allows one to manipulate matter itself. While it isn't as simple as snapping one's fingers and turning coal to gold, it does have its uses.
Whenever Nightmare grabs a hold of something, he's able to completely change its atomic structure. Meaning he can in fact, change coal to gold if he's holding it. This doesn't apply just to inanimate objects, but can also work on things like flesh as well! So long as he has a hold of it, he can change it. He can also mess with other people, but he actually needs to get a good grip on them. Not to mention turning their entire body to O2 takes quite a lot of time. He's got a better chance of just turning their wrist to charcoal.
Nightmare, in a rare case of win standards, can mess with his own body at will, due to the glove being grafted onto his skin, grabbing something isn't even necessary. Within a turn, he can turn his entire layer of skin tissue into something like titanium due to the glove more or less being a part of him.
The weaknesses are obvious; he needs to actually get a hold of something in order for this glove to do anything, unless it's himself. And two, if someone were to ever somehow get the glove away from him, nothing stops them from using it against him.
Fortunately for Nightmare, stealing it will be difficult, as he went through the immensely painful task of having it grafted onto his arm. He just explains this to his customers in that it's a prosthetic and that he lost his arm a while ago.

Personal
Personality:
Iskander
He is the definition of gay, he enjoys fruity drinks, talks with a lisp, and even makes the motions. He's much more friendly though, and more willing to chat with his customers. As the facade, he tends to gossip about the latest events, and even answers questions as to what the Dance Floor can be like off stage. He's a lot more playful as well, making wise cracks, and has even told Ouroboros that he should join a Kabuki theater. Thankfully, because this is merely a ruse for business, he doesn't have to worry too much, as people don't look past face value, so he can be as shallow as he likes with this personality, and no one will be any the wiser.
The Orochi however, know better, and do know to play along when he's at his salon.
Nightmare Darklight
WHAT. A. DICK.
For quite a lot of people, that's the first impression.
Nightmare will more often than not illicit two reactions from people. The first, is that they may find him alluring and charming, entranced in his every word as he speaks in an eloquent manner. It's just in his blood, Nightmare doesn't really have to try in order to get some people to adore him, it just comes naturally. Whether he befriends them though or not, well, even he's not entirely sure, as he very rarely will have a set goal with a person from the very beginning.
The other, is that the person he is talking to will want to punch him in the face. They'll find his way of speaking snooty, he will have this air of superiority, as if he feels he's so much better than the person he's talking to. They'll probably have some fantasies about causing him pain, lots of pain, possibly even killing him if he doesn't shut up. When dealing with this man, aside from the first reaction, they will probably just want to wail on the bastard.
Needless to say, Nightmare is very charismatic, able to incite plenty of emotions, and he's fully aware of it. In fact, his charisma is probably one of his strongest abilities, right along with his intelligence. He seems to have a silver tongue, and in some cases when he feels the need to do so, or just the desire, a serpent's tongue. He knows exactly how to push someone's buttons in just the right combination to get them to love him or hate him, and he takes full advantage of it.
He's also extremely intelligent, and places his intelligence into his actions, especially during battles. He's able to plan ahead, and with his reflexes, knows exactly what to do. He's got no problem fighting dirty and using the environment. And if someone plays fair and goody goody with him, well, he won't try and stop them. He's smart enough to know that if he keeps his mouth shut, chances are, they won't change from the honorable way of fighting, thus making his life just a little easier.
However, he is a giant dick. Because he knows how to press the right buttons, he often does this for all the wrong reasons, just to amuse himself and pass the time. Although this does end up getting him enemies, he doesn't really seem to worry all that much when it comes to those enemies. Probably because if they do attack, he already has something to defend himself if the need arises, but that doesn't stop him from manipulating and lying just to be a complete asshat.
He's vain too. Oh so very vain. He seems to honestly believe he is the best thing to ever happen to the world, and chances are, believes he's leagues better than you. He really doesn't try to hide it though either. The fact he's the who he is, well that doesn't really help humble him in any manner, if not boost his ego even more. It's just one of those enraging qualities he has, and is probably one of the leader factors of the type B first impressions.
Jealousy is a pretty easy emotion for him to feel too. Simply because he feels he should be the center of attention when he's involved. That he knows what's right and the guy everyone's listening to is just some windbag who wouldn't know what he was talking about if his subject was giving him cue cards from the sidelines. He also gets jealous very easily when the attention being given is from someone he likes, a lot, though he does actually put some effort into stifling this emotion.
Selfishness and greed isn't exactly above him either. Unless it's for someone really important to him, chances are, he's looking out for number one, himself. He will try and make sure he ends up with the best, the most expensive, the most quality assured things he can get his hands on. This however, is more subtle. So his greed really isn't as easy to catch onto as is his other traits. Though chances are, if he doesn't like you and he's letting you take something he wants, he's probably already hatching a plan to steal it when he gets the chance.
That doesn't mean he doesn't have any Pet the Dog moments though. There are times when he's with someone he genuinely cares about that he'll actually be a pretty sweet and decent guy. He'll also be frighteningly protective of them, and genuinely gets stubborn when it comes to protecting them, so much so it sometimes annoys the person he's trying to keep safe. Though more often than not, he'll promptly ignore them, declare himself right in his own mind, and go about fighting for them.
He's also very flirty. If he has an attraction to someone, he will make it known, and tends to be a bit forward. He'll flirt, he'll cuddle, he'll hug. He really is not good at picking up on personal boundaries, unless they're his own personal boundaries, then you have to listen, but he can invade your space as much as he likes. Some people, some people tend to like this, others don't, Your Mileage May Vary on this one.
He's very hypocritical as well. This is simply because he feels he's the exception. He can lie, he can be an ass, he can be snooty, he can play dirty as much as he likes because he believes he's allowed to while everyone else has to play fair. It's more or less a case of "I can do this but you can't" taken to its extremes.
His final trait though, is that he's Genre Savvy. He's dangerously Genre Savvy, and can spot things and give a prediction as to how it'll turn out. If he sees an army rushing in, he knows they'll get their asses handed to them on a silver platter, simply because they look like a uniform bunch of mooks. This does lead to him being quite the Deadpan Snarker, and in some more extreme cases, actually breaking the fourth wall.
In short, he's an intelligent, charismatic, hypocritical, genre savvy, lying, flirtatious, greedy, vain, jealous jerk with a heart of gold.
History: Not really much is known about Nightmare's childhood. Though, according to him, there was nothing really traumatic or heart shattering. He just says that whenever he does finally decide to tell people about his life, the beginning always tends to bore them half to death and that they're only interested in the superdickery and badassery that he's done since leaving home. So to him, it's just at the point where he's not even bothering to talk about his childhood anymore because no one likes to hear about it.
When he did leave home though at the ripe age of 18, he immediately started a salon in order to try and make some money for himself. Seeing as people were willing to pay a lot of money to have their hair combed, he thought he could do it. He was wrong, and business quickly began to die, and he would be on the streets soon enough. However, he came up with a brilliant idea, one that he was certain would save his business.
He announced to KV that he was gay, and prettied up the salon, and put up a fruity facade. Within a month, it was to the point where people had to make a reservation a month in advance to get an appointment, proving that even in the distant future, fruity stylists are still hilariously popular. Things for him only got more popular when it was revealed that he was the Dance Floor's personal hair stylist as well.
When Orochi cropped up, he immediately joined, as, being a Candeoan himself, he felt more sympathy for them. Using his powers, he did whatever he could to help the Orochi. This eventually culminated in him stealing the glove which would allow him to manipulate matter. In order to prevent theft, he grafted it to his skin. The Dance Floor and Nightmare himself just played this off as him losing his arm and getting a prosthetic.
So what is he doing now? Simple, he's still at his salon, he is still the Dance Floor's personal stylist, and he still keeps up the facade. His customers have absolutely no clue that he is in fact, a Candeoan, as that would hurt business, which he doesn't want. So he keeps his personal life in the dark, just being who everyone thinks he is until the time is right.
