I loved his face. From the shape of his eyes to the shape of his nose. He had such character and uniqueness.

Best Points:

I really love the realism in his face. He seems to have an ethnicity versus being ambiguous like many other dolls.

Worst Points:

I upgraded his body to a loongsoul 68cm body and overall it is an improvement but his neck is a bit too long for my liking. I'll have to modify it. I also preferred his larger hands on his old DiM body but that bothers me less than the neck length.

Personality description- It's difficult to know what Shou is really thinking all the time. Sometimes he wears his heart on his sleeve and other times it is so well hidden that even Shou himself cannot find it. Most times he seems laid back, not serious about anything, perverted, and goofy. He's great to party with and generally people really like him. However when you least expect it Shou can be very serious and he seems to always give great advice when it's really needed. Although unfortunately he doesn't always take so well to his own advice. And despite his reputation; Shou always gets the job done which has proven very well for him in his line of work.
Likes- men, being a good friend, sex, people that play hard to get, being a detective, guns, the chase
Dislikes- prudes, no, enemies, people that are easy, criminals, not being able to shoot his gun as freely as he would like, people that give up, being called a dog

History- Shou was born to two neglective lycan parents in Osaka, Japan. His father was out of the picture before he was ever born. Shou never knew him except his name and what his mother volunteered often, that he was a drunk and very violent. His mother enjoyed the single life more and thus was always partying and making trouble and often Shou was left in his human grandfather's care. His grandfather was very old and raised in the traditional Japanese ways. From him Shou learned about tea ceremony and Japanese calligraphy. Thanks to this man he learned how to be a respectable lycan and person.

Eventually Shou's mother disappeared from his life completely and Shou was left entirely to his grandfather's care. But he didn't care, the man was the father he never had. Because of him Shou decided to pursue his dream of being a cop, a civil servant, and he hoped to make a change in the world and make life easier and safer for everyone.

He started out small at first. Being a newbie cob he was first put in the police box and out walking "the beat" as it was called. He had one partner. It was so incredibly boring and he felt he wasn't making a difference at all. So he studied very hard and passed an exam that helped promote him to a new position. Now he actually had a car, but he mostly dealt with traffic violations. But Shou kept working hard and taking more tests. Eventually he got a big case, the one, that gave him his big break and he was invited to take the detective test to be promoted once again. detective. Finally he was able to prove himself and so he did. Case after case he solved.

But after a couple decades suspicion began to grow surrounding him. He still looked young and Shou knew he couldn't stay in Osaka as a detective forever. He began researching other cities, places where he thought he might be useful. It was during his research that he came across the growing city of Abaddon and it's mysterious crimes. Shou finally knew without a shadow of doubt where he would start his new life.

He did what was necessary to qualify to work as a detective in the United States. He put in for a work Visa and when the Abaddon Police Department was ready to have him, he got on the first flight there. It was scary to uproot his life and leave what he knew to go some place new. He wasn't sure how well the other officers at the police department would receive him, especially being that he was a foreigner. Still, even with his impressive record, he knows it'll be like starting over in some ways.

Misc- Shou is in the closet about his homosexuality. He's afraid of being bullied at work. And of course he tells no one of his supernatural genetics.
