Traits
Skills: 

• Makkuro has various shadow powers, such as traversing great distances through shadows, become a shadow, and affect the physical world by interacting with other shadows.
  

• He can create Fearlings, which are Nightmares shaped as dark horses/mares with golden eyes.
  

• Nightmare Sand- This is Makkuro's own version of the Sandman's Dream Sand, but his sand is black and induces bad dreams. He can corrupt Sandman's dream sand as well as any pleasant dream a child is having, turning those dreams themselves into nightmares. Makkuro also has the ability to morph his black sand into weapons such as a scythe or a bow and arrow. However, this black sand can also do more than simply cause nightmares and form weapons and shields. This black sand can taint or twist anything it touches, morphing it into a dark and nightmarish version of its previous self. If you get touched by this sand, you had better hope and pray that Makkuro is only trying to give you nightmares.
  

• Faustian Contract- is a link and bargain between a human and a demon whereas the latter offers specific services and fulfills the individual human's wish in compensation of consuming the said human's soul. 
  
  In order to create the contract, a human has to summon a demon. However, it seems that they do not need to be aware of the existence of demons, attempt to summon a specific demon, or even summon one intentionally. It is implied that the human must be desperately searching for a way out, and have little or no faith in God. Once summoned, this fact will not change for all eternity. All the same, it seems that the human still has the option to go through and create the contract, or dismiss the demon. However, the creation of the contract is fully completed as soon as the human issues a command to the demon. 
  
  Once the contract forms, the human bears a mark in ambiguous places. In a sense, the contract is viewed as a 'scar' the demon leaves so the demon would not lose the person he contracted with. No matter where, the contract has the authoritative power; the demon is able to detect where the human is, and irrefutably, the latter can never escape the demon. The demon seemingly is able to inflict the mark on the human by simply pressing their hand against the chosen place. The choice as to where the seal resides is up to the human.
  
  However, despite the contract being used by demons, Makkuro has managed to somehow gain this contracting ability. Though he doesn't contract with humans to devour their souls, he does contract with vampires in order to either aid himself or the other party. His last contract with a vampire ended in the dark ages and he has yet to contract with anyone since then.

• Users gain power by causing nightmares but some may kill their victim and absorb their soul to increase their power further. If the users body is destroyed they can live on in dreams and possibly possess another persons body while they sleep and eventually take full control of them.
  

Attitude/Personality: Despite his sinister appearance, Makkuro is actually quite the opposite. He's actually quite caring and gentle. He's also even perhaps a bit charming once you get to know him. 

Makkuro has a strange air about him that makes him seem full of mysteries, but the fact of it is, he's just rather vague. Never one to fully explain himself, Makkuro leaves words unspoken and makes things rather vague, but that's just the kind of person he is. 

Though he was once cruel and heartless, the past long faded and so too did Makkuro's cruelty. However, if he is driven to fight or defend something important to him, that cruelty can be seen once again, bubbling to the surface. Though his cruelty and darkness doesn't remain once the fight is over, he often shows hints of the man he once was.
