Shumi

**Shumi** was a minor character in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom* who is a potion dealer from Yoshi Resort that had sometimes irritated Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M.

## Appearance

Shumi may have just looked like a regular human, but in fact he was a cyborg with one of his arms being a robotic one that has special properties in it. He had messy, brown hair that trails behind his head and covers one of his eyes (which has a black mark with his other eye being all red there) that have blue irises as well as brown eyebrows, wearing a orange hoodie, and with blue jeans and also white and black shoes. Underneath his hoodie, he wore a light blue shirt that has a ghost with red eyes on it, but he isn’t seen with this as often nowadays.

## Background

To this day it’s not known where exactly Shumi was born or how he became a cyborg and obtained his robot arm, but he eventually moved into the city of Yoshi Resort where he made some new friends such as Max, a skeleton named Llama and also a Yoshi named Tommy. Shumi later decided to take up a career of selling potions, however this technically was a bit illegal since distribution of potions is not allowed so he had to keep the thing secret from the mayor of Yoshi Resort, Max. One time Llama got really mad at Shumi, so mad that he bombed his potion shop and replaced it with his own which angered Shumi a lot, so when remaking the shop he had to hide it within a cave near the Resort’s minigames, but he hid some hints nearby so people would have an idea of where to go for fresh potions.

Shumi first met Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. when they were on a plane travelling to Yoshi Resort, where he introduced himself to them and also told them about his potions but they did not find themselves caring that much and saw him as a bit annoying. On the plane back to The City of Nexus, he was there as well and tried to talk to them again but they just ignored him completely this time. When Elizabeth left Nexus to start a new life somewhere, she unfortunately got on the same plane as Shumi who talked to her the entire way through the trip which was extremely, extremely boring. Later on when The Devourer had created a Frying Pan Lady to wreak havoc on the world, she had stumbled across Shumi when passing through the airport who mistook her for a normal woman and tried to talk to her but she ended up clobbering him into the ground, in-which she tried making him as flat as a pancake, but failed, instead she made him power off from all the preasure his body was facing. Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. saw him in this powered off state when they went to the airport looking for Gerald, and even in this state he still tried to start a conversation with them. Later on after the Manic Mage had retrieved the Amulet of Souls and was on his way to Nexus, she ran into Shumi who as usual tried to start a conversation with him but just kept talking forever and ever. This time though, the Mage used the Amulet to completely drain Shumi’s soul out of his body and into her own vessel, empowering her while Shumi was left as a lifeless body before she walked away. His soul was spotted in her vac when Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M’s souls got trapped inside there, and it was later returned to his body after the mage was defeated by them and a shadowy figure. Shumi and Llama both travelled to the Mountain Range outside of the City of Nexus in order to take part in a Mountain Race for a cake prize. Shumi’s vehicle was messed up by the Mario Bros. which knocked him out and then he was run over by Llama, thus making him lose the race very quickly after it began.

There is a prophecy hidden within the Resort that Shumi will one day go on an adventure with his friends Max, Llama and Tommy, but Tommy will be kidnapped by an evil demon named Endie who corrupts him and makes him evil. Shumi will have to go on a perilous adventure to places all around the world, save his friends and make some new ones in order to help him defeat the foretold demon Endie in a world-ending event. But that seems pretty unlikely to happen, because it sounds rather ridiculous. After a while of not doing anything, Shumi met Superdog and was vaporised by him after he tried to talk to him, with Llama thanking the dog for doing such thing. As a result, the aforementioned prophecy will probably never come true because Shumi is dead now. Shumi’s ghost did try to join in on the Soul War that occurred after the Amulet’s destruction but nobody wanted him there and Turtle Man kicked him away.

## Personality and Relationships

Shumi could be polite and chill at times, but at other times he was pretty assertive and likes to get his way with people. He had many friends and is generally a pretty popular person within Yoshi Resort, maybe just due to his past adventures that everyone knows about and respects him a lot for. He did seem to have a sense of gratitude for what he has and the Resort around him, however he could be really annoying at certain times when attempting to deal his potions with people even in public places where he was not very subtle about it at all. Furthermore, he was also pretty talkative and sometimes would just talk and talk forever with no signs of stopping - he seemingly has a lot to say and speak about; he also liked to go on planes a lot.

Shumi was good friends with Max and Llama, two other residents within Yoshi Resort, even if Max doesn’t agree with his potion selling and Llama has tried to shut it down himself more than a few times. Also, Shumi absolutely despised Shimi, a fellow resident in the Resort who looks kind of like him, and refused to even acknowledge his existence at all even though he is clearly there.

## Abilities

Thanks to his partially robotic nature, Shumi was highly durable in combat - he can take a lot of hits and damage without being damager that much. His robot arm also had some special abilities such as being able to fire out lasers and also extend out, giving him a powerful punch as well as extra range for when he needs to fight even though he doesn’t like doing it much nowadays. Also due to past experiences, he was good at using a weapon like a sword in combat and was very skilled at defending as well as attacking with it.
