Other Features Tattoos on both upper shoulders , Tattoo on the center of back Visual Representation Background Personality Determined, strong-willed, fighter, loner, survivor, loyal, prideful History Shinjiro was born and raised for some of his life in Nagasaki, Japan, Shinjiro was brought up by two healthy parents. He was the eldest of one other sibling, a younger sister named Asuka. Because both of their parents were often at work, Shinjiro and Asuka grew up very close to one another. In a technical sense, Shinjiro more or less raised Asuka in fact. They went to the same schools over the years but went separate ways when it came to their pursuit of goals in life. One of the traits Shinjiro had inherited strongly from his father was pride be it for his country, family, any and all possible aspects. So when he finished high school, Shinjiro enlisted for the US Army. In the midst of his career choice, he transferred to the States for basic training and several of his first missions. He remained away from his family for a good three years before being allowed to return. Originally, it had meant to be just for a vacation. However, as Shinjiro arrived back home, he found that nothing had been what he remembered it as. It didn't remain only to his homeland either. No, the unfortunate circumstances had extended to his family. Needless to say, they weren't the same set of parents and sister he'd known before leaving. They were already members of the undead. It pained him but Shinjiro understood what had to be done. Removing his rifle from off his back, he shot all the members of his former family. Each were given a proper burial soon after, though it took a good amount of time to make all the graves and then place the dirt over them all. Distraught and heartbroken, he managed to catch a plane back to the States. After all, there was now no point in remaining in Japan, not when nothing remained there for him. Even after returning, Shinjiro quickly noted the same alterations had been found in the States. That was when it dawned on him that nowhere seems to be safe. Over the past several months, he has been using all his skills he has learned to assist in ensuring he continues to survive. Shinjiro is typically haunted during the night of the forced murders he had to commit. Even to this day, he doubts and questions whether he's worthy of redemption in any form or fashion. As much as he'd love for it to be possible, Shinjiro does realize why the task may be easier said than done to accomplish. Still, he also has made it his goal to not leave this world until it's back to normal. Or as much as possible if not completely.
