Backstory
It was a long time ago Gloom became the bird he is today. Once, he was a free bird who lived a somewhat normal life. Gloom was actually very interested in the occult, and that’s how he spent most of his days as a normal bird, learning the secrets of the paranormal from long ago. He kept quiet about his discoveries in fear that he would be thrown in the cellar for being crazy. He read just about every gothic and dark paranormal story out there, both real and fiction. However, he never knew if those supposed real stories were truly real. But the problem was he was doing only this for most of his days, hardly ever socializing with outsiders, again out of fear. And whenever he did have to go out, he wore an old worn out cloak in hopes that others would stay away from him. Gloom also eventually started practicing summoning these spirits, which is a very dangerous thing to do. Gloom knew this, but he was determined to see a spirit up close. After months of unsuccessful attempts, he finally was able to summon a spirit. However, as Gloom would learn a little too late, not all spirits are just mindless ghosts. This spirit seemed to want vengeance on the town Gloom lived in. Gloom looked back into one of his books, he’s read about this one. This spirit was a spirit of vengeance, vengeance of a leader who hungered for ultimate power. Specifically, power from every bird with a special power. That included Gloom, with his Black Hole ability. The spirit expressed his anger on how the people voted him out of control, and how they chose the town’s current leader over him. The spirit had his eyes on Gloom. He wanted to use Gloom to help him with his revenge. Gloom refused at first. The last time Gloom blinked his eyes, all he could see was pure white, as the spirit was heading into his body. Gloom didn’t know what happened, but he realized he wasn’t in control of his body anymore. In fact, it was the spirit controlling him now. The spirit who so longed for vengeance is now controlling the very one who summoned him, and he now uses Gloom as a free ticket to cause havoc and steal the powers and souls of all the birds with special powers to achieve the ultimate power. The real Gloom sometimes finds a way to gain back control, he still struggles to find a way to get this spirit out of his body. As long as it’s in him, he has no idea how to cure it. But Gloom tries to make sure that this spirit won’t do what he says he will.

Personality
Gloom himself is a shy and smart bird, and thanks to his studies he knows just about everything about the paranormal. He tries to find a way to cure himself from his possession. Gloom has also started to open up a little bit to others, as he speaks to them and asks them for help with his current situation. Unfortunately for Gloom, the spirit more often than not has total control. This spirit is violent and evil. It won’t stop at nothing until it has your powers and your soul, or if you don’t have what it seeks, it wouldn’t mind killing you. It uses Gloom’s Black Hole ability to attack, and once a powerful bird is weakened enough, it uses its own ability of absorbing the bird’s power and soul. The spirit tries to keep Gloom out of the picture, but somehow Gloom gains back control. Gloom is trying to stop the spirit once and for all, and wants to help all the birds that have been stolen from get their powers and souls back. While the spirit wants to consume the powers of every bird that has one just to gain ultimate powers so he can take over the world. Gloom won’t allow this to happen. He’s trying his best.
