APPEARANCE:
An atypical Firrerreo, Shin has his species' two toned hair, in duo-tone silver and black (Silver more prominent on his head, black more prominent in his beard). Along with golden eyes, pronounced canines, and nictitating membranes (third eye-lids), he is easily distinguishable as non-human. More bestial than most humanoids, snarling, growling, and baring of the teeth are common among FIrrerreo - this behavior only accentuates Shin's hard and angular features, which, when combined with a feral grin and an unkempt wild man's beard, makes most sentients stay well away from him. Physically, Shin is in excellent shape - there's not much to do in prison aside from work out - and he maintains an athletic 90 kilos.

BACKSTORY:
There isn't much known about Shin - and what is known publicly is typically found in law enforcement databases. A troubled youth that roamed the streets causing trouble, it's known that he enlisted with the Planetary Defense Forces of his planet; by all accounts he was idealistic and disciplined, handily climbing to the rank of Commander and survived a major battle campaign against the Empire. Being Firrerreo, his species was coveted species for their healing factor and bestial nature, and were often sought after as troops and commandos. At an unknown time, Shin was tried by military tribunal, dishonorably discharged and stripped of rank, and sent to an asteroid penal colony for undisclosed crimes.
THREADED BACKSTORY:
Shin helped incite a mass jailbreak attempt roughly two years into his incarceration; while many of his compatriots were able to escape, he was ultimately betrayed during the attempt and failed to escape on the station's shuttle. He was found culpable for the deaths of no fewer than five guards, as well as helping to incite the uprising, and his sentence was extended by twenty years to an Asteroid SuperMax Prison.

STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
(+) Exotic Alien (Racial):
As a Firrerreo Shin has a near supernatural healing factor, superior strength and hearing compared to human baseline, and resistance to being blinded. Shin can take far more damage than most sentients and recover, and is more or less immune to blood loss; so long as nothing damages his heart or brain, it is extremely like that Shin will live.
(+) Former Soldier:
Due to his stay in the Planetary Defense Forces, Shin has great familiarity with ranged and melee weaponry small and large, explosives, vehicle operations, and battlefield strategy and tactics. Primarily Shin's expertise is as a Shock Trooper, which were used as advance troops to break enemy lines; Shin is more than happy to brawl and fight in close quarters as a result.
(+) 6th Sense:
Being Force-Attuned Shin often has a sixth sense about things; where exactly to shoot at a door panel to short it out, whether to turn left or right, whether someone is lying or not. This "smugglers luck" is largely subconscious, and not something that he can control. In addition to these gut feelings, Shin has incredible resistance to mind tricks and telepathy, being something of a brick wall.

(-) Firrerreo Independence (Racial):
Firrerreo care little for anyone but themselves and in many ways are independent and self-reliant to a point beyond arrogance - a Firrerreo would rather suffer the consequences of their own actions rather than ask for help. This can lead to Shin brute forcing a solution to a problem, when he could quite easily solve it by relying on someone else's ability or input.
(-) Selfish:
After his time in the military and in prison, Shin is more than a little jaded when it comes to the greater good. When it comes to trusting and believing in the potential of others Shin is skeptical and paranoid to a fault. Combined with his racial propensity towards other races, and it takes a lot for him to trust others. Ideals, organizations, governments - Shin is in it for himself and the money.
(-) Violent:
Through military training, which was then reinforced through his time in prison, Shin has been trained to handle most issues with violence. Shin is quick to fight, especially if he sees it as the fastest solution to a problem.
