Oooh boy. Even's Shadow. This ... is going to be interesting.
For starters? At his canon point, he has basically just been revived from a very, very long spell during which he hasn't been able to feel emotions. ... Or at least, that he's been unable to acknowledge that he might be feeling them. So having to confront all these things rattling around his head? Yeeeeah. As a nice little side effect on that, yellow eyes in his world have a meaning all of their own... There is a very good chance that he'll be going 'you're not me... because Vexen already died, and I'm no longer the same person'. Whoops. This is NOT the point to be logical, pal.
It's going to be a lot of 'that stage of my life is done therefore I don't have to acknowledge it, I can write it off as Vexen alone, la la la'. As for the exact things that're going to be going into the Shadow itself... well, let's start off with his feelings on those ten years of nothing. Add some of the anger he's been unable to feel over being pushed around and betrayed, and is sweeping away. Season with a need to be accepted, a need to prove himself worthy, and how much his being seen as a joke affected him. And perhaps throw in a pinch of guilt over having created beings just to be used as part of the Organization's plans - he should have been their father-figure, like he saw himself to Ienzo, and he just treated them like lab rats...

Anyway, yeah. Working on this.
