Shahin

*Well, well, this is the first case we've got of someone coming in from an alternate universe and becoming a 'Stormer. Enter Shahin, a captain within a legion of this elite military force known as the Sardaukar. According to him, they serve under the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, who ruled over the known universe. From a young age, Shahin underwent brutal and rigorous military training on the harsh prison planet Salusa Secundus. Going through initiation after excruciating initiation, he became a soldier, serving in one of fifty Sardaukar legions that participated in a war for control over the desert planet Arrakis, where the spice "Melange" is mined. The spice extends life and expands consciousness, and is quite addictive that withdrawals are fatal. And get this; It's an absolute for space travel! Last thing he remembered before coming here is that he was fighting out on the sands of Arrakis against the native Fremen, and when tide of the battle turned in favor of them, he and hundreds of other Sardaukar troopers were forced into retreat. He was about to get flattened by one of several giant sandworms that the Fremen were using, when he found himself in our universe somewhere outside the Festival Site at the Yakutia Lowland in Siberia.*
*"I'm no longer in the known universe, but I will destroy anyone who dares to face me! No surrender!" - Shahin*

**Shahin** is a crossover OC created by JustAlex93 based on the Frank Herbert science fiction novel series *Dune*.

He appears in The Cherrybomber's *MotorStorm* fanonical universe, debuting in *MotorStorm: Untamed Tundra*.

## Details

Shahin (meaning "falcon bird" in Persian) was a captain in one of several 30,000-strong Sardaukar legions that participated in the Battle for Arrakis against the Fremen forces lead by Paul Atreides A.K.A. Muad'Dib.

When the battle went in favor of the Fremen, due to their riding several of Arrakis' giant sandworms plus their superior fighting ability, the Sardaukar were forced into retreat due to their weapons being ineffective against the creatures. One of many soldiers retreating from a worm to safety, Shahin was about to get crushed but was luckily swept up by a freak spatiotemporal anomaly, and he blacked out in the process.

Separated from his fellow Sardaukar and no longer on Arrakis or even in his own universe, he awoke and found himself near one of the sites of the MotorStorm Festival. Lost and confused, he went into the Festival site, needing answers as to where he is. Of course, the higher-ups of the Festival were kind enough to take him in, bring him up to speed, and to allow him to race in MotorStorm under the Latecomers Division. He ended up impressing them with his ruthlessness on the track.

As a reflection of being a Sardaukar, Shahin's racing livery is black with a golden sideways lion head symbol that is roaring. The lion head is placed on either the bonnet, side doors, or the roof, depending on the vehicle that he drives.
