| − | + | The elder Darkrai also warned of taking too much negativity on at one time or risk becoming consumed by that very darkness. The Darkrai, unable to accept its own limitations, took it upon itself to try to help and heal as many people as it could, despite its sister's constant pleading to slow down. Many more years passed and the Lunar Duo traveled across the Asian continent and into Europe, offering their special brand of healing and support.

[edit] Background
The origins of this Darkrai were clouded in mystery, even to itself. If one were to ask it, it would say that it 'awakened' in a flash of light in the late 17th century, alongside a Cresselia, that it would regard as its sister and companion. But from the moment that glowing cyan eye opened, the Darkrai knew one word - Balance.
Over the following years, the Lunar Duo would come to understand the nature of the Balance and their role in serving it. Following the example set by older members of their species, The Darkrai learned that while it could cause nightmares based on people's fears, its true purpose was to alleviate a person's negativity, terrors, and anxiety by consuming nightmares that already existed. Its sister-Cresselia would then replace the eate dreams with pleasantly serene ones.
The elder Darkrai also warned of taking too much negativity on at one time or risk becoming consumed by that very darkness. The Darkrai, unable to accept its own limitations, took it upon itself to try to help and heal as many people as it could, despite its sister's constant pleading to slow down.

Jet would repeat the process for centuries on end until the winds of fate found the Darkrai reaching the shores of Kasei, a region Jet surmised would be the perfect starting point for its master plan to come to fruition.
[edit] Beliefs
Initially, Jet believed its creators, the Prime Cresselia and Darkrai, to be fickle and uncaring parents, who subjected its siblings to an unfair cycle of maintaining dreams and nightmares known as the Balance. Early in his rebellion against the system, Jet wanted only to tear it all down, destroy the Balance and the society it served outright, leaving bedlam and disorder in its wake.
After an extended banishment in the DreamWorld, Jet returned with a more practical plan; improve upon the Balance and propel the Darkrai species to its rightful place, at the top of the metaphorical heap.
[edit] Recent Events
Jet had been devising creative ways to satisfy his hunger for fear, concocting schemes of varying involution to achieve this goal. Additionally, the Darkrai-fusion has been known to engage in various criminal activities with the Kasei Underground, resulting in numerous brushes with the authorities and occasional run-ins with his nemesis of sorts, Drake.
Additionally, since orchestrating the Typhoon Carracosta incident, many believed that Jet has fled Kasei altogether, considering no word has been heard from or mention made of the creature in criminal circles.

After a veritable swath of chaos and destruction, he was sealed away in the Dreamworld, doomed to slumber within his crystalline confines until he manages to break few from his prison, and begin a tour of unholy revenge on those who worked to seal him away.
[edit] Known Hosts
As a parasitic-fusion, Before his sealing, Jet had acquired the services of a long-term 'willing' host, whom he claimed to have a symbiotic relationship with. Jet had two varying appearances, which he used as his needs called for:
A. Normal State: In this state, the host looks completely unassuming, bearing no physical differentiation to suggest that he/she is under the control of the Darkrai aside from the occasional odd movement of the host's shadow. Also, in this state, Jet's abilities are limited, so he uses this form to move freely in public.
B. Full Possession: The form Jet prefers. Uninhibited both physically and mentally, the Darkrai-parasite is able to express the full extent of his shadow manipulation.
Iketani Kazuya- Weavile-fusion, Age: 23. Hometown: Sapporo, Japan.
A Sneasel-fusion born into the Iketani Clan of Sapporo, Japan. Ishikari Prefrecture. Most of his youth was spent training in his family's traditional customs that dated back to the Warring States era of feudal Japan. The arts of silence motion infiltration and ninja-esque combat were passed down through the generations of his family, though at this date in age they were suited for use as paid enforcers and information brokers for the Yakuza. The payments of contracts completed by the clan were the prime source of income, making the Iketani family one of the more wealthy groups in Sapporo.
Jet came to Kazuya the night of his first contract. It was simple shakedown/intimidation run for one of the lesser crime bosses. Jet promised that if he agreed to the Darkrai's help, Kazuya would be allowed the power to eventually take over the criminal element of Sapporo, and ensure that his clan was taken care of without any risk to those he cared for.
Kazuya eventually realized that the agreement he made with Jet was a classic deal with the Devil, as the Darkrai overpowered the fusion and made him a prisoner of his own mind while Jet ran roughshod across Kasei, sowing discord under the banner of Team Umbra. Eventually, with some outside help, Kazuya slowly regained a enough control over the fusion to help the heroes of Kasei separate him from Jet on Darkmoon Island and seal the Darkrai away in the Dreamworld.
Dane Nadyr- Human, Age 34. Hometown: Saffron City, Kanto.
Already an accomplished economist and the youngest member of the Silph Co. Board of Directors in Saffron City, Dane quickly became disillusioned with the political and economic climate of the region and believed that he could bring about change in the world by his own hand, if not through questionable means. Having caught wind of Team Umbra's exploits, he approved his own transfer to Silph Co's Ensou Branch while secretly becoming a member of the group and later orchestrating Umbra's siege of Ensou City the night of the Tempest's firing.
