Lan's dudes

I don't know who I'm doing first yet, but I'm definitely forcing all three guys through this.

Sparks will have a Shadow that is just ALL EMOTIONS ALL THE TIME. Just big reactions to everything. A lot of it through the lenses of a sniveling nerdy teenager, too, even though he'll look like current adult Sparks. Sparks is going to haaaaate this. It's probably going to have a hard time accepting it.

Johnny has a Shadow that I have to somehow not make Rated X. His Shadow self is basically his demon side to the extreme. It's the side of him he desperately tries to avoid, but ends up falling into fighting and drinking and losing his temper. The Shadow side relishes in violence and hedonism, and won't hesitate to bully and fight everyone. It's a cover for a lot of despair: he's an abomination, feared by humans, hated by demons and angels, and destined for Hell. So why not do whatever the fuck you want? Johnny is going to have a hard time accepting this. It'll probably come down to a fight. A really tough one.

Ed will have the least trouble accepting his Shadow side. In the last few years he's had a lot of time to think and reflect on his actions (thanks, prison time). His Shadow is more conniving and backstabby than he was in his youth. He's greedy, overconfident and selfish, will be totally unwilling to help anyone. Ed is resigned, though, and may accept this faster than the other guys.
