A ‘shadow type’ is your secondary (often unacknowledged) romantic ‘type’. It isn’t the exact opposite of your usual type, just different and maybe more unexpected or embarrassing. Most people don’t even know they have a shadow type until they start noticing a pattern they didn’t expect in the people they crush on/date.
“My type is usually wholesome, bubbly and athletic but my shadow type is definitely mean goths”
“I’m kind of surprised to hear about you and Dorian, I didn’t realise you were into sickly artsy boys”
“Honestly neither did I, but he’s like the third guy I’ve had a thing with this year who looks and sounds like a Victorian ghost. I think that’s my shadow type”

Get the Shadow Typemug. 1. The alias of the crime-fighting vigilante, The Shadow.
2. "The Living Shadow" was the first pulp magazine story to feature The Shadow. Written by Walter B. Gibson, it was submitted for publication as "Murder in the Next Room" on January 23, 1931, and published as "The Living Shadow" in the April 1, 1931 issue of "The Shadow Magazine".

Powers and Abilities:
The Shadow, aka The Living Shadow, has complete control over his vocal cords and can throw his voice (producing a chilling laugh that can paralyze opponents) and accurately mimic anyone. He has an nearly photographic memory and is also a master of disguise and slight of hand. The ability he is most known for, however, is his amazing skills at stealth that make him akin to "a living shadow," to such an extent that rumors evolved that he can "cloud men's minds." The Shadow is a world class intellect.
The Shadow is a master of stealth and espionage who went by the nom de plume "The Dark Eagle" during World War I and worked for Tsar Nicholas as part of an inner circle known as "The Secret Star." It was the Tsar who gifted Kent Allard with the mysterious Girasol gem that he wears in a ring and uses to hypnotize people.
During the 1920's he spent some years in the mysterious city of Shambalah where he learned many oriental disciplines, such as complete control over his body's vital functions, as well as various martial arts.
When The Shadow resurfaced in the 1980s, it was apparent to those that knew him that he had not aged at all! Therefore longevity must be added to his list of disciplines.

An excessive speeding technique, where you "shadow" a speeding vehicle in front of you with about a 15 second gap, to maintain a faster-than-posted illegal speed limit. This allows the speeding vehicle in front the first honor of being clocked by a law official if one is present. Those 15 seconds of "shadow" time gives you the chance to lower your speeds enough to avoid costly speeding tickets. It should be used in combination with a laser/radar detector. Shadow speeding is not recommended during daylight hours on roads where law officials use air patrol to monitor speeds.
"It's a good thing I was shadow speeding, that guy speeding in front just got pulled over by the fuzz!"
