Lovelife: Queen Sumire of Tou before he was expatriated and Stajerne Guardian of the Chimera Mecha in past lives.
Family: No real memory of them.  He has learned that his father was a powerful warrior from chance encounters with old comrades of his father. He knows nothing of his mother though.
Friends: Other citizens of the small village he lives in.
Strengths: Shu is amazingly compassionate and moral.  He has a very strong sense of justice.  He is also a very good artist, and an excellent fighter.
Weaknesses: Shu does not like fighting and tries to avoid it whenever possible.  He is also ludicrously unlucky in everything he does.  Fate seems to have picked Shu out and is determined to make his life miserable.
Appearance: Shu is of average height and build.  A closer inspection will reveal small, well-toned muscles.  The appearance of someone who is strong from hard manual labor rather than a conscious effort to gain strength. His clothes are standard fare for a farmer: light fabrics and designed to be comfortable to do hard work in.  His face is rather non-descript and would easily be forgotten except for his eyes.  They are a normal brown color, but they burn with an intensity that seems out of place for one so otherwise normal looking.  The only other noticeable aspect of his appearance is his very long black hair.  He keeps it in a pony tail that goes below his shoulders.  Long hair is generally a nuisance for farm work, but he for some inexplicable reason can never bring himself to cut it.
Personality:  Shu is a generally easy going individual.  He yearns for little more than a nice, peaceful life.  Unfortunately, something seems to always go wrong for him.  He can be happy doing almost any sort of work as long as it provides a comfortable routine for his life.  The constant upheaval of his life and established peace has left him weary of those he doesn’t know, fearing they will bring yet another cataclysmic change.  He is also very compassionate of those around him.  He often goes out of his way to help the other people in his village.  He is plagued by self-doubt because of the disturbing dreams he has.  Dreams of himself in places he has never been, but the dreams are impossibly vivid and accurate.  No one in the village knows of his visions though.
History:  Shu has no memory of anything before two years ago.  He remembers waking up under the care of a concerned citizen of the village.  Apparently he had suffered grievous wounds and had been unconscious for awhile.  He quickly adapted to his new home and took up life as a farmer.  He quickly learned that he had a surprising aptitude for painting and happily spent much of his free painting the beautiful wilds around him.  This unknown talent came as a pleasant surprise.  An unpleasant surprise to him was his bizarre strength and fighting prowess.  Despite being just of average size he was capable of feats of strength beyond any of the men in the village. He also can perform martial arts forms and tricks with preternatural grace by sheer reflex it seems.  He has no conscious knowledge of how or what he is doing, just an odd familiarity.  He is often plagued with visions that are familiar to him, but he can’t quite remember.  He remembers the details of Tou and even more disturbing the palace of Tou and the royal family. Most disturbing to him are memories of what seem to be other worlds.
Item: Elemental Staff:  This staff looks like a Shinto priest’s staff, but can grow to be sized for a mecha.  It also is made of an odd material.  The color seems to always be oscillating across the color spectrum, and different parts of the staff are different colors from each other usually. This makes the staff for disconcerting to watch and hard to follow it’s movements.  The staff itself allows the bearer control over magics of elemental nature.
Mecha Name: Chimera
Mecha Appearance: The chimera mecha is mostly a startling white color. Long spikes extend behind the mecha in generally outward directions.  This makes the mecha look almost like a star from the front.  I’m really having a tough time describing the mecha, so please just look at the picture.  We call this extreme writers block.
Powers: Yin Power:  Shu pauses to concentrate for a moment and white magical energies briefly swirl around him.  While he this power activated he is even faster than normal and much much stronger.
Yang Power: This attack is similar to the last one, and looks mostly the same, but the magical energies are black.  The effect is completely opposite though.  While activated Shu is preternaturally tough and resilient to harm.
