Shinji stands just over seven fulms tall. His face an array of sharp features and piercing red eyes, his raven black hair usually falls just past his horns, though grows fast and thick. His scales are a bone white like most Raen and his horns are often adorned by metal tips useful for protection and fighting.
Scars & Markings: Shinji's body likely has over a hundred scars, very little of his skin is unmarked, though the majority have faded over time. Of those most noticeable; A thin cut marks his right cheek, running from his nose. On the left side of his jaw a two-pronged claw mark runs across the edge of his scales. A raw and not-fully healed cut runs over the scales of his neck. Running diagonally across his right peck is a thick three-pronged claw mark from a large beast. Just below the same area of chest is a small explosive scar that's worst at the centre of impact. His left shoulder is encompassed by burn tissue, running out to his collar bone and down to his ribs/ elbow. Where the burn ends on the back of his left shoulder, a horizontal crescent outlines his shoulder blade. Compared to the relatively fine right, although a small and very raw stab wound marks it just off-centre. The rest of his scars aren't publicly available.
Voice: Shinji has an ever-tired and somewhat dry voice. Reference: Trevor Belmont - Castlevania (Netflix)
Clothing: Preferring dark greys and blacks, Shinji sticks to lightweight and agile fittings. Often wearing leathers or padded shirts, the man has few outfits but is extremely picky with each of them. Every combination decided on with specific reasons in mind.

Likes
The Beach: Shinji's favourite destination, he'll take any excuse to spend a sun at one.
Water/ Swimming: Shinji was perhaps meant to be a fish, powerful body finding itself at home in any body of water. Enjoys sinking to the floors and holding his breath for minutes on end.
Cooking: After his move to Eorzea, Shinji picked up some skills from the Limsan Culinarians, now having brought some Eastern flavour to the mix, he loves making meals for himself and friends.
Music: Whether playing or listening, Shinji finds comfort in the sounds of a good bard or performer.
Writing: Shinji takes time to note his thoughts all the time, whether in the form of a journal entry, a short story or poem. He expresses himself best through the written word.
Dislikes
Injustic: As much of an ass as Shinji may be, he knows right and wrong. Never afraid to tread the line, he has a strong distaste towards those who easily cross it. Any form of intentional cruelty is a major sin in his eyes.
Lack of Humour: Shinji is a self-proclaimed Limsan, and so is his humour. Enjoying banter and crudeness, he is deterred from people who can't handle light mockery and fail to take things lightly.
Hyperactivity: Shinji tries to avoid people who are just a bit too happy or bubbly. Finding himself set in a bad mood by those who can't respect personal space and can only act childishly, as opposed to an adult who can take a childish moment now and then.
Bright light:After damaging his eyes, the man finds physical pain from intense light sources, and so prefers to stick to the dark. This is also enforced by his work, having no aid to his stealth in lit areas.
Incompetence: Falling in line with his disliking for permanent childishness, the man can't stand someone who can't work well when the time calls. People who can't take things seriously, people who fail to work under pressure. His opinion can quickly be soured if someone demonstrates these behaviours.
Tea: Why does everyone seem to love it?
Fears
Loneliness: Shinji has had it rough with relationships, both platonic and romantic. Having lost almost everyone he's cared for in one form or another, this has left him with trust and abandonment issues, worried he's doomed to repeat it all.
Crowds: Social anxiety has a way of creeping into his mind, especially in crowded rooms, giving a sense of claustrophobia and need to perform. Often his true behaviours are only shown in smaller groups or 1 on 1s.

One of Shinji's first contacts upon deciding to become social, the pair managed to develop a deep bond that lead to a romantic relationship. Following a breakup caused by a small crisis, the pair came back together after he confessed his love to her. This wasn't to last, however. As she has now taken time for herself and disappeared into Coerthas. Shinji has been left with serious questions and doubts, but still wants the best for her, regarding her as a close and trusted friend.
The tough and stoic Xaela quickly bonded with Shinji over their shared humour and insults. Shinji regards Kas as a brother and treats him so. The two have had a few disagreements and Kas has at one point betrayed Shinji's trust, unintentionally however. The pair share a deep bond and Shinji will happily lay down his life for his new family elder.
The second person he ever met after turning from a life of privacy. Shinji was initially doubtful of the young Xaela's potential, but quickly grew to appreciate the young girl's kind and non-imposing nature. Immediately taking actions to lookout for her, he sees her as the little sister he wanted to have growing up. Perhaps not giving the same level of trust due as he does to Kaseji due to her youth, Shinji still happily opens up to her, offering advice and wishing to protect her at any opportunity.
This Keeper Conjurer started off like a sour taste, leaving Shinji with no initial want to pursue a friendship with her. However, over the course of a few opportune meetings Shinji has started to grow something of an understanding of the woman and after turning to her when gravely injured, has at least some form of respect for her. Whether this grows or is smothered he can't tell, but the future is a problem for future Shinji.
A Raen from the steppe who's roughness and almost-hostile reactions only served to encourage Shinji to keep pestering her, eventually breaking through her defensive outer shell, he's grown to learn of the woman beneath and find a caring, troubled individual. Developing a sense of care and concern, the two have grown close. In such a time of vulnerability, he's unsure of what he wants from her. For now, he simply enjoys having her companionship.
