Backstory: Born in a rural community, Shade was brought up in a place where opportunities were very limited. He had the choice to work a farm or join the military, and he took that shot once he was able to. Shade saw the military as his life and dedicated all of his energy to learning the tactics of his superiors. This dedication saw him rise through the ranks until one fateful day. <br /><br />One day on patrol, his unit was ambushed by militants and Shade lost his leg in the attack. This injury sidelined him from where he wanted to be, and he sought whatever he could to return to the front lines. After a a year of desk jobs, the military came forward and presented Shade with an opportunity. He could take part in a secret military project that was working on enhanced regeneration and senses. Shade jumped at the chance.<br /><br />The project progressed and actually succeeeded at a cost. Shade lost all of his memories but gained several powers including his lost leg. The scientists working on the project saw the success, but instead of putting him into the field like Shade wanted, they began to experiment on him. These experiments were not pleasant for Shade and soon afterwards broke out of the labs, leaving everyone dead. <br /><br />Now with no memory of his past, Shade decided to enter the mercenary business with his newly gained skills. He took up the name of False Shade, and no task is too challenging for this newly minted mercenary.
