Sketch done; I guess the only difference between this and the original is the eye holes on the mask. Though I guess it is more of a darkened semi transparent portion of the mask.

Basically, the idea was that he was some sort of "death penalty" character, or rather, "penalty for death" LOL. Too careless with yourself and he comes for you sort of thing. Though in the targeted individual's case, it's probably just another death yet again, unless he decides to travel back to where he died and meets his "clone" nearby.

Hm, no surgery, huh. There must be some way for one entity to physically alter another starmaninjian's body. Since bodies can't stay possessed (if you mean it in a way that a dead body can't be preserved, even if a new identical body is made for the dead starmaninjian), perhaps he simply clones them and all or at least most of their properties and capabilities, not including the personality of the original since it will pretty much be a zombie.

I suppose being a generic shadow is the closest bet for him, if I want to go for the "mysteriously shows up where he wants to" and "isn't dead when he should be" route. Could be a pretty powerful poison type too, with his instant k.o. touch. Though I suppose the doctor sees himself as a very special healer type, where he is the only one of that particular category. In the generic shadow case, perhaps the clone he creates from "curing" an individual can be identical to the original as long as it's within Skullmanjo Dlareg's capabilities.

Though the thing is he doesn't really seem like a "hive mind" sort of character, considering he can traverse in non shadow areas as well and the fact that he might at rare cases converse with other Starmaninjians without trying to "cure" them. But then again, this is all just based on an assumption that generic shadows are just "mindless drones of a greater entity". Which is sort of dumb. Shadows can come in creative ways too, I suppose?

Though maybe there is another powerful deity for a "realm of curiosities" that may be in charge? Blegh, I have not developed that one yet though, so we can stick with generic shadow. By the way, what ARE the intruders?
