Shi

"Kill 'em!"

**Shi** is a mercenary and a primary antagonist of Interstellar Ranger Commence.

Shi is voiced by Jacob Kolb.

## Description

### Personality

Shi has dark intentions with an even darker sense of humor. He doesn't mind the fact that these Rangers are young and is fully prepared to kill them in order to get what he wants. He may have manners, but he doesn't have a heart.

When confronted by Chris Myrthil and Sebastian Rojas, he regards the cadets attempting to oppose his crew with sarcasm, referring to Chris as a "wannabe Ranger" in amusement before sternly ordering his goons to kill them.

## Attributes

### Abilities

* **Athletic Aptitude**: Due to surviving harsh conditions out in crime ridden areas of space, Shi possesses decent physical attributes and athletic capabilities.
* **Combat Aptitude**: As a mercenary and pirate, Shi is experienced in both armed and unarmed combat.
* **Marksmanship Aptitude**: Familar with a variety of weapons, Shi is experienced in the use of ranged weapons, particularly his pistol and rifle.
* **Strategic Proficiency**: An skilled organizer and planner, Shi has made schemes to infiltrate Cosmos Academy, a highly valued location for the Interstellar Force, remotely studying and gathering intelligence on the school until fully prepared to make his move.
* **Survival Aptitude**: Regularly traveling across space and to various planets, Shi is experienced in operating in and adapting to a variety of environments and conditions.
* **Leadership Aptitude**: Partially through the use of intimidation, which he achieves with his menacing helmet and sarcastically sinister demeanor, Shi is an capable leader. He is able to coordinate his crew through incredibly daunting missions, such as attacking a key location for the Interstellar Force in Cosmos Academy.

### Weaknesses

* **Arrogance**: Being used to conflicts with criminals as well as other pirates and mercenaries, he appears to underestimate adversaries who aren’t overtly threatening or dangerous. He, therefore, thinks little of the Junior Rangers his latest score pits him against, viewing them as minor inconveniences obstructing his goal.

## Paraphernalia

### Equipment

* **Mercenary Attire**: A piecemeal suit with mismatched accessories and colors, complete with body armor, a scarf and a gargoyle-like helmet with red light emitting from its lens and mouth that glows brighter as he speaks, as well as a voice modulator to add to his menace.

### Weapons

* **Pistol**: Shi has a pistol holstered to his hip.
* **Rifle**: Shi carries a rifle as his primary weapon, similar to his crew.

### Transportation

* **Freighter**: Shi and his crew primarily travel in their own personal vessel with notable stealth capabilities, able to remain nearby Cosmos Academy's station in space without being detected or attacked.
