RELATIONSHIPS

MOM: Peridot Setsuzoku (Maiden Name: Kristoph)

HISTORY

BIOGRAPHY: Was born to Peridot Kristoph, a human on Earth, and Shouto Setsuzoku, a kitsune, and member of the Kiyana clan on Alysis. Shortly after he was born, his father seemed to disappear, and his mother was left to raise him, teaching him everything she knew. She died of some disease when Shin was still just 14, and he somehow managed to live in a dingy apartment by doing oddjobs and volunteer work. After he met Aleera at the age of 19, and got in contact with all of her family and friends, he began to find out more about his lineage. He has a kind of deep anxiety which causes him to be as polite as possible to protect himself from being alone.
