Personaity

---

Shin is an outspoken and somewhat grossly overconfident person. He is fiercely loyal and honest, living up to a sort of personal Bushido code. He has a strong fascination with adventure and enjoys conflict just as much as peace. He is serious in times of crisis, however; and has proven himself to be a flexible and trustworthy officer.

Shin has a great interest in a variety of current sports as well as the old Terran game Basketball. [1] He plays sports of all kinds anytime he has the opportunity and can be highly competitive, even picking out "rivals" in his own mind while competing when encountered with another talented player. His interest in sports extends to martial sports, and he has trained whenever and wherever he could throughout his life, allowing him to acquire an incomplete but unique set of knowledge and skills.

• Shin regularly follows the Federation News Service/Sports updates regularly.

• His physical capabilities and his affinity for tactics are the driving forces behind his choices of security and tactical positions in his career, and these coupled with his confidence and love of adventure are the driving forces behind his desire to reach command and attain the rank of captain for himself one day.

Living in Texas, North America, for so long made him develop a strange accent that he does not enjoy people pointing out.

Shin's diet consists mostly of fresh and saltwater fish, poultry, rice, a wide assortment of vegetables and nut's, water, tea, and a healthy portion of wine and sake. He does not eat very many fruits but does enjoy juice drinks from time to time.

• His favorite dish his father's Chankonabe stew recipe. [2]
