Current Characters: n/a
IC Info
Name: Shion
Canon: No. 6 (the anime)
Age: 16
Appearance: Shion is 170cm tall. Most notably his hair is white, he has red eyes and a scar that can be seen on his face, neck and hand. here is a picture.
Canon Point: His 'death' in episode 11.
Background: Here is the wiki. It's not the best so a written up history can be found here
Personality: Shion claims that it was Nezumi that dragged him from a life as a mindless No. 6 worker, but truthfully Shion always felt a deep unease about the city he lived in. Always felt stifled even when he lived in luxury with his mother. It was that more than anything that led him to opening his window in a hurricane the night of his twelfth birthday and screaming. An act which drew Nezumi to him, and changed his life forever.
Shion is an idealist. He believes that humans are worth fighting for. All humans are equal, this is his key belief, he does not agree with polar extremes, does not agree with Nezumi's 'them' and 'us' stance. He seeks a middle way and tries to bring about equality whilst saving as many as he can. Even when Nezumi warns him that if Shion learned the truth about No.6 and still wanted to save it they would be enemies. Shion believed they could find a way to cooperate. He doesn't want to lose Nezumi, he doesn't want the city to die. He believes he can succeed. It is notable that when he does learn the truth, that No. 6 has killed Safu, that they experiment on their own people that he calls his wish a 'pipe dream'.
Shion is friendly to everyone and trusts people easily, even when he definitely shouldn't. At the age of twelve he takes Nezumi in without even asking his name. Even when he finds out Nezumi is an escaped prisoner, against all social conditioning, his response is to offer the boy his supper. His only regret afterwards is that the punishment hurt his mother also. He is the kind of person who names robot rats, reads to small children and offers them soup when they are hungry.
He won’t hesitate to help anybody even when it puts his own life in danger. He tends to take the immediately compassionate route, not thinking about the effects of his actions. This means he does things that will cause trouble in the long-term even while helping in the short-term.
Shion has a very high IQ, at the age of two he was tested and given the right to live in Chronos; the elite district, he attended the best schools. When he was twelve he was getting ready to enter the special program for the brightest minds. He knows enough medical procedure to treat a bullet wound; at the age of twelve. He does this with glee happy to be able to use his skills. He remembers everything, is able to memorise the map of the correctional facility easily. He remembers odd details about people, in almost stalker detail though he just does it as a matter of course.
However his intellect and knowledge is limited to facts, data, scientific knowledge; things that can be summed up in numbers. Until he goes to the West Town he has no knowledge of the arts, of literature, of anything outside the strictly controlled curriculum of No. 6. He discovers a passion for reading and begins making his way through many of Shakespeare’s works and the classics.
Shion has no real fighting ability and indeed does not want to harm others. He is a peaceful person and violence shocks and upsets him. He is often afraid, but sometimes is not afraid even when he should be. He often panics or zones out and it can take physical shaking to bring him back to himself. During these times it is Nezumi who can motivate him, he can make himself move because Nezumi would taunt him, he can face things if Nezumi is there. He is much more likely to be able to break through panic to help others rather than himself. If others are in danger he can find calm to help them, he is able to break through his terror at the destruction of West Town to save a crying baby.
He is unfit, unused to having to run and climb but he gets fitter in his time in West Town and is able to keep up during the run through the correctional facility.
Shion is a lot stronger than he seems, not physically but mentally. He survives the parasite bee, only the second known person to do so. Nezumi cuts the larvae out, with no pain control or anaesthetic. The pain it puts him through is indescribable and yet he survives.
There is darkness in Shion. Nezumi can see it and often claims that he is scared of him, of what he can become. Shion feels that darkness in himself as well. He sometimes looses control, mostly if Nezumi is threatened. Shion almost throttles a guy for calling Nezumi a prostitute. He kills for Nezumi, murdering a man because he shot Nezumi. In times like this something seems to take over Shion, he is calm, cold and calculating or burning with rage and he always feels shock and guilt afterwards. He is willing to destroy the city in his anger out of what they do to Safu and indeed has to be knocked out by Nezumi to prevent him planting the bomb.
Shion is very aware that he is in many ways still an elite from No.6 (something he sees as inherently negative). He tries his best to get used to his new life and be seen by the others as an equal and to not be merely something to protect. He tried to go and rescue Safu on his own in order to protect Nezumi, after he and Nezumi fought they promised no more secrets. Shion would always rather know reality. He would rather live in the real world then in a world of false comfort like No. 6.
Weaknesses/Temptations:
Hurting Nezumi in any way will lead to him losing control, getting angry and being violent. Insulting Nezumi is also a good way to drive him to violence.
He does not like to be thought of as weak, childish or naive and so peer pressure is a thing that definitely works on him. He often doesn't trust his own instincts as he knows he could easily have become an obedient drone of No.6 and so will be more open to things that go against the rules and teachings he grew up with.
Thinking he is doing the right thing- he often picks the obvious most compassionate route and that can lead to trouble more often than not as he doesn't think about long term consequences of his actions.
Sins:
~ Murder
~ Accessory to murder (he does nothing to stop Nezumi killing a whole bunch of people, claiming it necessary in getting to Safu)
~ Lying
~ Assault (his attack on Rikiga)
~ Failure to save Safu
~ Privilege/Ignorance (Shion feels a lot of guilt about growing up an elite. He lived a life of luxury whilst others starved, he belonged to a city and a people who trampled on other peoples lives and cultures - they destroyed Nezumi's whole village leaving him the only survivor or the forest people. He benefited from a system that hurt others, 'disappeared' those who disobeyed and experimented on people.)
Powers/Abilities:
Shion is a completely unpowered human.
He has a very high IQ and a lot of scientific knowledge. His main subject was ecology but his knowledge is broad reaching. Though he was only twelve when he was expelled from the special program his education is more like real world degree level. He is confident he can stitch Nezumi's wound even whilst admitting he has never done it before. Later after he has left No. 6 he is working on making a serum with his own blood to counteract the effects of the parasite bees. He is able to do surgery on Nezumi in a building that is in the process of self destructing.
He has a very good memory. He can recite word for word what people say, he remembers anything he reads. He memorises the map of the correctional facility and is able to guide him and Nezumi through it, knowing where every security camera is and the best ways past them.
This intelligence and knowledge does not extend to anything we would consider the 'arts'. He knows nothing of literature, music or art. He has read a few Shakespeare plays in his time in Nezumi's home but his understanding is very basic.
Items:
~ A data stick with all the information of No.6's crimes on it.
~ The book 'Hamlet' by William Shakespeare.
SAMPLES
Network: Here are a few from various games he's been in in the past, I have tried to pull from ones where he has been there a little while, to show contrast from his Test Drive Meme threads where he is in the initial arriving/panicking stage.
