Shigen Lorule

Background
Shigen was born a human in Hyrule in the small farming village of Ordon to the Light Sage turned mortal, Eimi, and his human father, Kaiten. When he was five, Eimi had also given birth to twins, Alice and Nico, but both died when Shigen turned ten during an epidemic of Faron Influenza which almost took the life of Shigen as well.

Personality
Shigen is an extremely quiet and guarded person, stemming from extreme trauma in his past that left him unable to express much emotion or project his feelings to other people. He's gotten slightly better with time, but the wall around his heart still holds strong. He's very loyal to his friends, however, willing to risk life and limb to help them out with whatever problems they have, and will even form close emotional bonds to those he is extremely comfortable around. He has a slight habit of being unintentionally blunt with his words.

Appearance
Shigen has black hair, red eyes, and sharp, retractable black claws and fangs. He wears almost exclusively black clothing.

Powers and Abilities
Shiegen's nature as a Haniam gives him enhanced strength and speed, immortality ([2]), retractable black claws and fangs. Shigen, like his father Kaiten, can both summon a special sword. Shigen's sword is called 'Sulken' and holds the power of flames.

He is vulnerable to light/holy energy, extreme temperatures, and is sensitive to sunlight.

Relationships
Family

Clan

Kumara; Kumara is Shigen's closest friend, and for a long time, one of the only people that he could fully open up to. The two are almost never too far apart from each other and have little to no personal space between each other. Because of how close they are, a lot of people tease Shigen and Kumara by saying the two are an item, which Shigen doesn't really disagree with. Truth be told, he would be comfortable dating Kumara and vice versa, but they remain dear friends.

Sorella; Shigen is also very close to Sorella, being fiercely overprotective of her and watching over her like a mother hen. He holds romantic feelings towards Sorella, but is 100% ignorant of them.

Akela; Shigen is also very close to Akela, being the first to treat Akela as her own being instead of being an extension of Sorella. He's oblivious to Akela's not very subtle affection for him, but he does platonically return her feelings.
