As some of you know, Raye has been a shade for many months now. He's been given appearance changes from Hari (black hair/eyes/skin) etc. But is has become apparent that there are several folks out there that do not know what a 'shade' is, as well as at least one new player claiming shade-hood as well (which I would prefer otherwise, but it's not my place to dictate an others' rp *shrug*)
So below is a link to a re typing of the AD&D 2nd Edition "Shade' write up to help with any questions. If you want to know more about how Raye'Kan became a shade, as well as some of the rough uncontrolled side effects he seems to be finally getting control of after four moths real time (who knows what that means in game time lol) come RP it with me *grin*
