- Maddox

Maddox is a member of the Shadows House with his Doll, Akio.

Appearance
Like all Shadows of the House, Maddox is a black silhouette of his Doll, Akio. His chin length hair flares out with one strand of his bangs swept between his eyes while two other strands frame his face.

He wears a white hooded coat with turquoise oval buttons down the middle that reach his knees, a turquoise cloth belt is tied at his waist. In the inner lining of his coat are pockets filled with various blueprint tools. Maddox wears a turquoise neck warmer under the coat which conceals a pair of turquoise goggles with dark green straps. He wears a dark green shirt with light green triangular designs at the shoulders with sleeves that reach his elbows. Maddox wears loose dark green pants that tuck into dark green boots with light green accents and kept in place with a strap.

Personality
Maddox has high pride in his genius, frequently rubbing the fact in others faces and putting them down. The source of his pride is his background as a special Morph which also fuels his paranoia that he will be outed as a dissident. Obsessed with learning new things, he has a high drive to stay alive, however he is extremely lazy in his free time and struggles to work on low energy, rarely pulling all-nighters. In more casual settings, Maddox gets easily envious of others if they achieve things outside of his skill set, such as leadership, becoming overly standoffish and stubborn against said person, though he will eventually cool off with time. To those he is closer to, Maddox likes to try and fish for compliments but will frantically deny trying to do so if asked about it.

Blueprint Making
Due to having an unnaturally steady hand, Maddox is capable of drawing straight lines with little guidance or tools. He uses this ability to draw neat and clean blueprints at high speeds.

Soot Quantity
Maddox has a low soot quantity.

Soot Power
Maddox has the ability to control soot that he mixes his own into. In order to use this ability, he needs to mix that majority of his soot into the amount he wishes to control. The soot will lose unique features and turn into a formless blob for him to control. Soot with a will like Scorches are harder for him to control.
