Shxdowsk8r (シャドウスケーター *Shxdowsk8r*) is the main protagonist of the *Mineality* series. Shxdow is the son of Shadesk8r and Withersk8r. He also has two siblings, Lightsk8r and Lillith.

After he attended Jammy's meeting, he figured that his friend has built a portal that goes into the Minecraft world. A few minutes after going into the new reality, he realized they had to survive and adapt.

Shxdowsk8r is the illegitimate father of Darko, the protagonist of *Boiling Blood*, a kid with anger issues but proved himself to be a hero at the end.

## Appearance

### CHILDHOOD

Shxdowsk8r looks like a shadowy teen, and his attire at age thirteen consisted of a black leather jacket, along with black legging and black Nike shoes. He never changes his clothes, as dark clothes will protect him from the sun, his mother used to say.

### Adulthood

As a twenty year old adult, Shxdow is a slim man in a black suit, handicapped as his left arm got sliced off by Godspeed, Lightsk8r's stand, in *Fallen Angel*. He wears a grim expression on his face, and is no longer the grinning kid he used to be. He also obtained a stand, hence the name **Shadow Soul.**

## Personality

> Huh! We’re not escaping with you! We’re not…weasels! We’re not…wimps! No matter how strong these creatures are, we swear we will fight them to the death!

> -Shxdowsk8r, Chapter 4: Horde of the Uncanny, Part 1

During the series, Shxdowsk8r is a cunning kid with an awesome fighting spirit, but has a habit of taking advantage of things, like sneaking in some cookies in a movie theater or getting another slice of pizza in the cafeteria. In book 1, he is seen taking advantage of the village, looting all of the villager's chests, saying that they are "swag". But overall, Shxdowsk8r is a kind, righteous person, but he does not feel pity for monsters, such as the corrupted mortals. He also shows an ambitious attitude, as shown above. He refuses to give up even when all is lost. Unfortunately, this runs in the whole family, hence, Lightsk8r also has it, as well as Lilly.

## Abilities

### Shadow Transportation

Both of Shxdowsk8r's parents were made out of shadow, thus, him, being a shadowy teen. He inherited the power of travel between shadows out of his parents, and he can be left unseen, zigzagging and disappearing into dark spaces.

### Breathing Technique

Shxdow has only one breathing technique, called Shadow Breathing. He had inherited it from his parents, and had the technique ever since he was born, and he only managed to unlock it through pure rage, as shown when Kazuya blew up the village.

### Intelligence

Shxdow is shown to be a quite intelligent person and can get out of fatal situations pretty easily, as shown in the first Darksk8r fight, when his evil twin drove his hand into his stomach, the injury seemed lethal but Shxdow used his own shadow to replace the hole in his stomach, catching Dark off guard.

### Speed

Shxdow is shown to be a fast and elusive person when engaged in battle, as he can dodge projectiles that are moving 30 mph-50 mph, and can also sprint as fast as the average rate of a leopard. But alas, there are other characters who are indeed, faster than him, like Darksk8r, the Corruption, Takashi Reborn, and Lightsk8r Ultimate.

### Strength

Shxdow is pretty strong, when he wasn't in the Minecraft world, he takes martial arts class every day, he has been training for 3 years, gaining a purple belt for his efforts. If he were to punch you right now with full power, he would end up breaking your skull, and sending you flying. However, when he punches with full power, his blows will be easy to dodge. He usually punches normally in a casual fight, and is capable of bruising you with every blow.

## Weapons

Most of the time when fighting in the Minecraft world, Shxdow wields a Shadow Shortsword, however, sometimes he uses an axe.

## Stand

In the sixth book of the Mineality series, Shxdow gains his own stand when a stand arrow pierced through his skull and makes its way to his brain, bringing Shxdow unimaginable pain, but in the end, he managed to survive and obtained his own stand- Cyber Shadow.

## Relationships

### Family

* **Shadesk8r:** Shxdow's mother is caring, and sometimes prefers to discipline her children through physical contact. The only one that hasn't been hit is Lightsk8r, mostly because he never does anything wrong, and because he's made out of pure light, thus his parents can't touch him at all. Regardless, Shxdow still loves his mother greatly.
* **Withersk8r:** Shxdow's father is timid and mysterious. He sometimes leaves for work and doesn't come back until 8PM. He is usually quiet and has nothing to say. The bad thing is that he is a part of a organization, therefore there are many enemies after him, which is the main reason for him coming late. Shxdow has nothing to say about him, except to say in Mineality's prequel: *Project Zero,* that he is a very strange man.
* **Lightsk8r:** Shxdow's sixteen year old brother has a scorching hatred for his brother, as Shxdow ruined his life. (Explained more in the Lightsk8r section) since Shxdow was born, Lightsk8r despised him, finding ways to hurt him but not fully kill him. But as the books progressed, Light hated Shxdow more day by day and eventually planned to kill him. As shown in the series, Shxdow feels sympathy for his brother, even though his brother detests him with every fiber of his being. But Light crossed the line when he murdered two of Shxdow's friends, Cheeze and Book, with lethal poison. Even Shxdow admitted he went too far and said he would not hold back from killing him now on.
* **Lillith:** Shxdow's twin sister showed up in the 4th book, when she accidentally fell into the Minecraft world. Shxdow loves his sister greatly, and in *Project Zero* he was seen defending his sister from a stray of wild dogs. It is also shown that Shxdow cares for his sister as well, as he tries his best to get her out of evitable danger.

### Friends

* **Jammy:** He is one of Shxdow's closest friends, and he is a essential part of the gang, as he was the one who found a way to the Minecraft world. Shxdow is fascinated by his logic and thinking, despite Shxdow getting all straight As, he is impressed with Jammy's knowledge. It's almost like he's Albert Einstein 2.0.
* **Book:** He is Shxdow's best friend, Shxdow had been friends with him for quite a long time, although he consistently teases/slanders him throughout the series, he still cares about his friend and cries out in distress when Book almost dies in Book 2, although in *Scorching Enmity,* when Book died from the poison, Shxdow commented that "he was a great friend, but he was an asshole at times", which technically makes Shxdow a tsundere?
* **Cheeze:** Not exactly a friend, but he is confirmed to be one of Shxdow's fans, stating in the first book that "he's a big fan of Shxdow's fnf mod" and even drew fanart to prove it. Shxdow is, of course, flattered, and treats him like he would to any other friend.
* **When:** Also known as When Can I Leave, he is also one of Shxdow's friends, although not one of the closest. There is nothing to say here, as Shxdow treats him like a normal friend. Shxdow first met him when he complimented his watch in social studies class.
* **Caroka:** Having met the gang in Book 4 in an abandoned gold mine, Caroka sticks to the gang for the time being in order to take Jommy and Darksk8r down, because as she said, "you mess with the mines, you mess with Caroka." However, as time lapsed, Caroka grew attached to the gang and developed a little crush for Shxdow. Shxdow doesn't love Caroka, but he thinks she's pretty cool to him and admits that she is indeed, pretty.

### Enemies

**Kazuya (ShinoKazu):** One of the first villains/antagonists in the series, Shxdow and Kazuya first met when Kazuya saved them from a horde of monsters and pretended to be an ally until later on in the story, when he set up a rig on the village and exploded the settlement. After that, Shxdow develops moderate hatred but still some respect for Kazuya's skills in battle. As the chapters progressed, Kazuya told the gang about his sad backstory and said that he was going to kill them all to avenge him and his family. Luckily, the gang overpowered him and his brother, sending them back to their homes. After that, Kazuya becomes an ally in the series, showing annoyance but no intent of harm towards the gang. Shxdow admires Kazuya's skills and thinks he's cool with him.
