Shadow

Shadow is a deuteragonist in Team Genesis .

He is a sharp-whitted, smart, and edgy robot created by the Four Musical Doctors as their final collaboration before their split up. Though Shadow is very serious in most situations, he isn't above having some fun. Shadow strategizes plans, unlike Super who is always quick to jump into action, making his contributions valuable and necessary when dealing with Dr. Tenor's forces.

Because of Shadow being the first of Dr. Tenor's line of sentient humanoid robots, he was given the serial name "STN-000" with STN standing for Special Tenor Numbers. Few robots are given such a title.

Shadow has the artificial intelligence age of 16, and his birthday is September 23rd.

## Biography

### Appearance

Shadow is most often represented wearing a black unzipped jacket with a grey and red undershirt. He dons a black cape, fingerless gloves, and an arm cannon used for battle. Another distinct appearance is his heterochronic eyes, one being red and the other being blue. This was chosen because while his blue eye is only used for sight and depth perception, his red eye is able to lock onto targets to fire at with his arm cannon, so it was made distinct to recognize which eye did which function. Much like Super, Shadow also has large tufts of hair on the side of his head, these being a bit smaller and rounded, resting above the rest of his head.

### Personality

Shadow is somewhat cold and reserved, not opening up to many characters, but never rejects their company unless they are an enemy, or someone he deems annoying. He doesn't have many hobbies aside from using his limitless knowledge to build or upgrade his own weapons or equipment. His capabilities have even gone as far as to create other robots, such as Koko, his assistant. People who do share similar interests have also been able to talk to him genuinely, such as Xai and Thomas. Despite the reserved forefront, Shadow does oblige to construct things for others to use. Shadow is responsible for making Super, Hazel, Pao, Nami, and his own go-karts in Team Genesis Dash.

### Abilities

Shadow's arm cannon is the source of all his attack power. Even though he only uses the cannon, he has added more and more weapons to the mix, able to master many types of attacks with it, mostly bullet or shooting type skills. His arm cannon also is very sturdy, letting him use it to shield himself from oncoming attacks. In addition, Shadow can lift up to 10 times his own body weight, lifting and throwing rocks with ease.

### Super

Super and Shadow's relationship is left slightly ambiguous, however they are undoubtedly partners. They may argue from time to time, as Super may get under Shadow's skin and vice versa, but when the situation calls for it, they can team up and work together well. Super does state that Shadow is a friend of his, however, Shadow may refuse or flat out deny a similar status for the hero, even if it's not entirely true.

### Xai

Though their relationship mostly started off as formal partners, Xai has grown some feelings towards Shadow, to which he doesn't seem to mind. Despite this, Shadow considers Xai a good friend. Their similar affiliations with Dr. Tenor makes Shadow feel more trustworthy around her, and with more convincing, Shadow might be willing to build on her feelings.

### Forte

Shadow and Forte have a deep mutual hatred to one another. Shadow doesn't like the idea that Forte's designs are largely based on his own, as it lessens Shadow's independence. Forte believes that Shadow is a traitor to the Tenor Empire, and is disgusted to even be related to him after he decided to team up with Super, despite it being his natural programming.
