The Black Phoenix

The Black Phoenix has always been a part of Crimson himself, but until a few years ago, Crimson struggled regularly with himself.  He had problems both relating to others and socializing with his family because of his attitude, and personal moral alignment.  At the age of 18 he had a nervous breakdown that turned into a phsycosematic failure of his nervous sytem, the ordeal left him in a coma like state for several days. 

 When he awoke he was at home in his bed, and felt more peaceful and comfortable than he had in a very long time, his attitude had completely disappeared, though his moral alignment still remained.  One night a few weeks later, he was attacked by a group of gangbangers looking for someone to mug.  This was the first time the Black Phoenix had ever shown himself. 

Crimson Woke up the next morning in his room again, but this time, there was a small pile of wallets on his night table, some stained with blood.  After looking through them, he recognized the face of one of the men, it was the leader of the group who'd tried to mug him.  The rest of them belonged to the others.  What Crimson did not realize when he woke from the coma like state hed been in a few weeks prior, was that his personality had broken itself into two seperate halfs, On one hand, himself and a more balanced and pleasant attitude.  On the other, the combination of all his frustration, rage, and focus on his personal morals. 

This phsycological embodiment calls itself the Black Phoenix.

To begin with, the Black Phoenix only had one interest worth mentioning, finding those who have harmed and killed others out of malice, spite, or just simply for entertainment, and executing them.  Chances are if you saw him, someone nearby had done something they really shouldn't have done.  But as he and his counterpart have grown closer and more connected, he has begun to explore a more social side of his existence.

  He still struggles with socializing, but he's learning from watching others as well as from listening to Crimson's actions from his the back of his mind.

The Black Phoenix has the ability to telepathically sense people who either have the intention to, or have already killed or hurt someone.  He is able to track these individuals from miles off and isnt known for giving up on a target...at all.  Barely anything short of forced unconciousness is capable of stopping the Black Phoenix from finishing what he starts, and hes rather well versed in avoiding that very occurrence.  often forcing Crimson's body to go days or weeks without sleep before he finally returns control out of necessity to avoid killing his counterpart. 

Crimson is able to use this telepathic sense to a limited extent, it often acts as a proximity warning for him when he's close to one of these individuals but it doesn't work that well beyond 50 feet, as such he mostly uses it to avoid these sorts of people but on occasion he'll use it to help the Phoenix find his target. 

Each Time the phoenix takes over his mind, Crimson blacks out .  Everything that transpires around him goes dark, effectively putting him  into a form of cerebral stasis whilst the Phoenix goes on his tracks for target.  However, Crimson has found that in recent months he has started to gain bits and pieces of whats going on when the phoenix has control, like pieces of a puzzle covered in mud.  Over time his relationship with the Phoenix has grown from parasitic, more towards symbiotic. 

He doesn't know how, but on occasion he can hear a voice, hidden away in the back of his mind, and with practice he's learning how to listen to the voice when it speaks.  unlike his counterpart, the Phoenix can speak, but he does so in a very gruff and throaty voice that sounds more like a growl, and can be a bit intimidating if its your first time meeting him.
