The Ranking System

There are in total 6 groups of shadows: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Each will be listed below in detailed information.

FIVE
They are the weakest of the six. They don't have a definite form and only appear during nighttime. Although they are AI (artificial intelligence), they do not have a will of their own. They are easily manipulated by their masters. In order to achieve a higher ranking (only when ordered by Masters) many fives will group in a mass and form a four.

FOUR
Although they are not the weakest of the group, there is very little for the four to do other than to group and become a three. Their conditions are the same as five.

THREE
At this stage, the Shadows will acquire the ability to gain some sense of will and intelligence. Though, they are still controlled by their Masters. They, however, do not need to form together to create a larger number. Threes by themselves are able to destroy small objects. In a large mass of threes, they will be able to destroy forests and the like.
Threes are updated to twos from consumption of smaller creatures.

TWO
They are rather intelligent. They have a mind of their own and can speak in human dialect. They are able to travel around in dark places during the day light, however, they cannot step into human society for they are easily recognizable. By themselves, twos have very strong skills and for quite a few, they can develop powers of their own, though, documented records listed only one or two in the history.
They are now individuals, though they still report to their Creators.
For a two to become a one, they are to consume a human body and take on the form of the said human. Otherwise, without the consumption of a human body, they remain as mere shadows.

ONE
At this point in the ranking, they are now humanoid. The form they take on is the form of the human they killed. The most important part in this transformation is the eating the human heart, without that, the transformation will be incomplete. The only difference in the original human and their look alike are all in the eyes. Where the eyes were once, are replaced by a dark void. There are no eyeballs, just a mere socket.
The Ones are able to travel about in human society, however, to avoid detection, they wear sunglasses or any other forms to conceal their eyes from the public.
They are powerful and very dangerous individuals.
The difference between a One and a Zero is the One lacks a human heart.

ZERO
They were once part of the Angelic society. They are considered to be the Fallen, banished and exiled from their home before. Although they are viewed as higher beings, the Fallen are no more human than the Angels. They are the Creators of the Shadows. There are in total seven Fallens. The leader being Baal.
Their powers are vast, however, in order to obtain such a power, they had to suffer a great consequence. There is a limit to using powers, and because of their overuse, the Fallens have become what their powers define them as. Each of them still take on the appearance of their human form, but the results will remain permanent.
