weight , about onehundred and ten.
height , five feet, eight inches.
tattoos & piercings , mutiple tattoos and plugs, lip.
distingushing features ,
one thing that you're really going to notice about shadow is his hair. it's a natural red coloring with tints of crisp auburn here and there. it's not every day you come across a guy that sporting red hair and he doesn't have freckles everywhere, so it's a good feature for him. of course, besides it particular red tint; it's always fresh and straightened. there's never a day when he goes by letting his hair get greasy. it's always got a shine to it and it's always smooth. what can he say? at least he takes care of himself. amoung his features are the improvement of inked skin. yes, he's got tattoo's and plenty of them. with shadow being such a string bean for his height and weight, they stick out against his slightly muscled skin more than you would expect. not to be cliche, but another thing you're going to notice is his smile. this boy's got such a sweet, innocent look that he's practically got the puppy dog face when he's not even trying to get anything. but behind every smile is a wordless expression.

personality ,
"WHOA, THAT KID'S A FRUITCAKE"
do you not see what that title says? you heard it right. the poor boy's so gay, he's almost a chick. not really, though. shadow would never want to be a woman. he likes his body and the boy's far too much to ever considering getting a change. he's not your typical fruitcake though. he's got a way with words and he knows how to take care of himself. but, he is the kind of guy that'll squeal all along with the girls about some hot boy in a band or a new pair skinny jeans coming into store stock. what can i say? he's very original with himself and he's comfortable with being with other guys. really, the reason he's so gay is because he's been hurt by so many girls that he found out it was just easier for him to be with other guys. sure, he's gotten his ass handed to him a few times for hitting on the wrong people, but he wouldn't change a thing.

"YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE AN ASS"
shadow is nothing short of being cocky. he's got a way with words and he knows how to use things against you. don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy. you've got to be the one to start talking shit to get shadow pissed off enough to flip his trigger. i wouldn't push it though. even if he does come off strong, he could be a bit over confidence. he's not really a guy that seems himself and self conscious. he likes who he is and he knows what he gots and he knows how to use it. the way he sees it, you're the reason your life isn't good because you have issues with yourself. he thinks that you need to be comfortable with what you've got and you'll be just fine. he wouldn't try to enhance himself phsyically at all. sure, the boy's charming, but he's got an ego that takes a lot to make him feel uncomfortable.

"THE TRUTH HURTS, THEN AGAIN YOU SAID IT"
if he doesn't like what you're wearing, or he thinks that what you've just said was down right stupid, he'll tell you. shadow isn't shy about those kind of things. he doesn't like to think of himself as being blunt and rude, he's just honest. besides, it's just what he thinks and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. don't take it the wrong way though; really he's just trying to help. even if he seems down right rude, he's just speaking his mind and most of the time things aren't what you think they are. he'll prove you wrong when he knows you're wrong and he'll gladfully accept someone telling him the same thing. he likes to build off of what other people think, even if he is a hypocrite for telling people what others think doesn't matter. yeah. tpyical boy.

"OH, THE WONDERS OF A MANWHORE'
sadly, shadow is a boy that gets around. you think you know a couple of people in the room, well, chances are, shadow knows all of them. no, he doesn't go for the whole boy then girl thing. he is strictly attracted to men and that's all that he'll do. no pun intented. really, he's just afraid of a relationship and he doesn't want to break someone's heart or get broken. so, sneaking around and sleeping with strangers is perfectly fine for him. he enjoys knowing how to get out of a three story apartment without breaking anything. don't worry though. he's not stupid. every time he does sleep with someone, he is safe. shadow is far too complex to be stupid enough to sleep with someone he doesn't know and not use protection. he's got the moves to charm you right into your bed. what, you didn't expect him to bring you home did you? oh no no. it's far more easier to just leave your apartment in the morning rather than the other way around.

"YOU'RE LIKE THE TEDDY I HAD SINCE I WAS SIX"
all the ladies consider him just another one of the girls. yeah, it could be considered sad in some ways, but he likes having girls as his best friends. they're so much easier to explain things to rather than having to act all tough around other boys. he does have guy friends though, surprising the boy can keep it in his pants long enough to just have friends. he's quite the cuddler when you need him to be. unlike a lot of guy friends that girls have, he does listen. he's great and giving his own opinion and trying to offer some advice for you. it would suck if he was just another boy, but with a name like shadow, he's bound to be different. you've to give him a chance though. and don't think you're wasting your time if he's got a bad first impression going for you. the second time around is always better.

"WHAT ARE YOU? FIVE?'
who wouldn't always want to be a kid at heart? after all some of the best times of your life came around when you were just a little kid climbing trees all the time. he can be serious when he needs to be, but really, shadow is just a little kid stuck in a twenty year old's body. he still thinks disney movies are the coolest things our there and he does still have a teddy bear he's slept with since he was five. yeah, he can nget really giggly but on the account he's got a case of a.d.d. he's sort of allowed to be obnoxious when everyone else is trying to shush him because there's some higher staff member around the corner or something. he doesn't care. try and control him and he'll show you how to break all the rules you lay down for him. shadow jacolby knox is really one of a kind.

history ,
sadly, this isn't a poor sob story that we're oh so familiar with now of days. i guess it was a hard time for little shadow's mother to know she had been sort of used as a broken heart clean up crew. well, that's jumping forward now isn't it?

playing into a story that had a horrid plot line but a good enough attention grabber seemed like the right place to start. jared knox was gay. he had been sure of this for more than half his teenage years. growing up, he didn't care when the girls tried to flaunt their way into his life. he simply didn't care. after getting out of college and moving onto his degree is musical art, he sort of gave up trying. that's where he met gabriel. the boy was the top of the line guitar player and the love of jared's life. it took a whole year of watching the boy to work up the courage to actually speak with him. when he finally did though, he was simple pushed off like nothing else.

furious and heart broken, he went off and drank. well, you know what happens when you combine heart ache and alcohol. it's a dangerous mixture; this time it landed the victims with a baby on the way. you see, this is where little shadows comes in. his mother wanted nothing to do with him, so naturally, he was dumped in jared's hands. but what's this? with a baby, it seemed l ike gariel was a tad bit more interested. though jared was still heart broken, he wasn't going to pass up the chance to have another shot at being with the person he had ever so casually fallen in love with. whata you know, a one night stand turned into a miracle worker from the looks of it. he had landed a night with gabe and he was now fathering the cutest baby everyone had ever seen.

growing up with your father being gay and your step father not liking the fact you had a mouth on you was hard. all through out shadow's childhood, he had been learning how to deal with his a.d.d. without his parents help. of course, all the doctors visits had him on new medication to control his obnoxiousness but none of it seemed to work. so, with a set of frustrated men for your parents, you kind of learned how to use it against them to get what he wanted. plenty of times had the boy walked in when pg-13 things had been going down in the bedroom or the living room. strangly though, it didn't bother him. he accepted it easily, knowing that love was love and that was perfectly fine for a five year old to comprehend.

as he got older though, you could easily say that he was following in daddy's footsteps. all the girls he had been with had managed to break shadow's little heart so easily that it seemed like he had a better chance if he just gave up. of course, that was a sad realization for anyone, so for a while there he went through a ring of depression. he bounced right back once high school was coming to a close though, having finally lost his virginity. and guess who it was to? a guy. it shouldn't of been a surprise really. growing up and seeing your dad make out on the couch when he didn't know you were there. what shadow found was he was more comfortable with guys. alochol being a factor sometimes, the boy had a hard habit of partying and being the one to start the rioting.

having gotten bored of his own city back in english, the boy decided that hey, he'd make a run to the states. of course, fairwell to daddy and gabe had been sad for his parents, but shadow was ready to get out of town and start something new. what better place than the state's sin city? las vegas drew him in for the love of the music and the entertaining. shadow loved to be up on stage. performing in front of others was one thing he was positive he could do and who knew, it got him to sing and play guitar up in front of crowds all year round. las vegas was just what he needed. the city where the party never stopped and the background of it all was just that much better. yeah. he could get used to the im-famous life.
