Shine (KillGames)

Shine is a character created by . She made her debut in KillGames.
==Appearence ==
Shine is a human with tan-skin and brown pigtails. Scars cover her body, though it is unknown where she got these. She wears a greenish cloak that is ripped at the front, resembling a jacket at first glance, hotpants, a belt, and a boot. She also wears a pair of goggles, a headband with cat ears on it, and a piece of fabric attached to her belt that resembles a tail, giving her a cat-like appearence. Only her left leg is fully mechanical, and she can take off her cyborg arms whenever she wants.
In KillGames 2 her design is altered slightly. She now wears a green, sleeveless hoodie. Other than that, her design stays mostly the same, though her pigtails are larger and her cat ears have a bit more detail.
In KillGames: Rechained, she went back to a design similar to her original look, with a ripped jacket and hotpants. She is notably more robotic, her cat ears, tail, and entire lower half are now entirely mechanical. Her left eye is missing, being replaced with an eyepatch.
==Personality==
Shine is shown to be very unstable, switching between two personalities, one of a hyperactive and bubbly child, and other of a cunning and vicious killer. She loves robots to the point of obsession, often killing cyborgs and robots that wander into her territory, and using their pieces to enhance her or her subject's abilities (often forcing them to be converted against their will and killing them if they don't agree with anything she says). She dreams of becoming a powerful cyborg and taking over the Wastelands.
==Story==
===Backstory===
Shine is the young leader of the Wastelanders (renamed to the Marauders in KillGames: Rechained), a vicious gang that lives in the desertous Wastelands, what's left of the United States after nuclear fallout and constant war. For much of her life, Shine has been infatuated with robotics, constantly stealing them from anyone who wanders into her territory. She enjoys testing out on herself and her followers, and wishes to become the most powerful cyborg in the world. She joined the KillGames to find powerful robots and cyborgs to steal from.
===KillGames===
In KillGames, she makes her debut in Chapter 3 of Storm's story. Taking her, Break and Newton hostager, she initally acts as an antagonist, wishes to take Newton's robot ARMA for herself. When they refuse, she sicks her gang on them, though all of them are defeated. Angered at how useless they are, she, alongside her bodyguard Sharkman, challenge Storm and Break, but end up being defeated. After her defeat, Storm explains that she is in danger as Maligna is looking for a crystal that she has. Upon learning of this, she suddenly decides to help her
In Chapter 4, she starts a small friendship with Storm, giving her that crystal Maligna really wants. She helps the group take down a horde of mutants. When Maligna appears, she threatens to kill Shine, but Storm decides to give her a crystal, spare her. However, Maligna immediately after throws a syrigne packed with that crystal's power at Shine, causing her to horribly mutate. Storm, Newton, Break and Sharkman are forced to fight against her. Badly injured in the fight, she reverts back to her normal form, where she wishes Storm to kill Maligna, before she dies in Sharkman's hands.
In the Final Chapter, Maligna attempts to use another syringe in order to mutate herself and kill our main heroes. However, right before he can stab herself, Shine's claw cuts straight through her body. Being revived by Misery, she personally drags Maligna into Hell, and allows Sharkman to bash her head in, killing her. Upon being revived, she decides to leave immediately after, which is the last that we see her.
==Abilities==
Shine's weapons, the Soul Scratchers (renamed to the Bisecto-Claws in Rechained), not only grant her great close-ranged abilities with their bladed claws, she can also launch them like grappling hooks to grant her increased mobility.
