History: Shi was born into a small Kubebathrow family in the mortal realm in a litter of 5. He had an older brother, a 3rd born sister, and 2 younger brother twins, all of which were lucky to have loving and caring parents. He was seen as a runt, but was never left out of anything. At least at first he was as his mother and father thought he would need time to grow and needed to be separated from the others for a short time. It wasn't until awhile later as he and the others were more active and wanting to explore that they realized he was going to stay small. Such they allowed him to explore with his siblings and go play with them. Shi was happy and very excited to see the world with his family, at least they would've went out if his poor mother hadn't fallen ill in the months to come. At first a simple cough it was, but it got worse as time passed and soon their father had left to go seek help and hope and pray to the Gods that she would not fall further ill in this time. During his absense the cubs would teach themselves to hunt to try and help their mother eat and get better, wanting her to live until their father had gotten the help she needed. Shi himself would help out when he can, despite having difficulties learning to hunt as he himself was too short of his siblings to properly do so. He was able to catch any ground runners through trapping and tricking them into corners for him to help kill them off, but it was mainly small animals that didn't climb trees or outrun them so easily. It would've taken a year for the cubs to realize their father was not coming back, not knowing that he had fallen in his travels. The cubs stayed with their mother as she grew weaker everyday. The cubs grew differently in size, shape, looks, and personalities. Shi himself was a worried little thing that was determined to help his mother out, but his sister always got in the way and kept bashing at him about how pathetic he was and how he wasn't of helpful use to the family. He always argued back to stand his ground and defend his own words as he did more than the others to prove he was capable of doing things they can. Though everything never lasts forever and soon their ill mother had died a day before the cubs were to be 2 years of age. Having taught themselves on many things while also taking care of their mother and gaining any wisdom she spoke of, they soon decided to try and travel out and find their father, hoping that he was still somehow alive and well elsewhere. As they wandered a bit close to a canyon the sister soon stopped, eyed Shi, and began to bark at him to leave them alone as he was slowing them down. Shi barked back as to state he was still family and that she was being too selfish for her own good and how many times she stole and ate prey that was for their mother at home. After an argument and their older brother trying to diffuse the situation, the sister had ended Shi's life through biting down on his back and tossing him into the canyon near them, right over the ledge and into the darkness where more rocks lied at the bottom. Shi saw darkness when he hit. He soon saw light not too long after, waking up in an odd area that didn't look familiar as he sat up, looking around with a pained groan, though soon would spot Maia standing before him. He didn't recognize her at first, though would bow to her and listen as she spoke. She spoke of how she had watched him when he was born up until now, seeing how he grew as a Kube and how he cared for his family and knew he would be a good fit for a position among them. He wondered why though and soon through explanation of his personality, determination, and care for his loved ones did he understand. Standing tall he took her word that he will be helped to be shown the ropes of his new poisition as a lesser God, but will indeed grow use to things and see the world in a different light and continue to show care into others as he brings them into the afterlife. To this day he still never forgave his sister, much as he'd like to take her soul now he lets her live with the guilt of what she had done to him, believing this was a more suitable punishment of betraying family like that.

Random facts:  Tends to chase his tail when no one is looking, but usually gets angry when someone finds out and becomes a puffy angry ball of fluff. Is usually very soft around cubs and if moving them into the afterlife he's found in his 'mortal' form to help lead them willingly. Same goes for the good Grans he deems will be more compliant if he wasn't seen as a threat.

Mutations: Extended Claws, Corgi
