There is no stigma attached to this on Mirador III as there sometimes is on Earth. | ||

His favourites involve war and destruction, and as such he has a keen interest in Terran Norse mythology and Klingon folklore above others he has so far encountered. | * '''Hobbies and Pastimes''': Reading old folk tales from Terran, Klingon and other cultures.

* '''Dislikes''': Telepaths, greatly. Or rather, their abilities. Not necessarily the people themselves. Also dislikes people who remain stoic and up-tight even when they're off duty. For these reasons, Vulcans usually aren't his favourite people at all, though he doesn't let this have a detrimental affect on him when he's on duty with them. One he recently picked up: EV Suits. They may well save his life, but if his hair gets in his face he can do nothing other than fruitlessly try to blow it out of his eyes. Unacceptable! | * '''Dislikes''': Telepaths, greatly.

* '''Temperament''': Usually rational and calm, but uneasy around telepaths, due to his 'secret'. As a Miradorn he is known to have somewhat of a hot temper at times, but if other people are scared of him because he's a Miradorn, that's fine with him. He doesn't really fit the stereotype at all, but it's something he often uses to his advantage. | * '''Temperament''': Usually rational and calm, but uneasy around telepaths, due to his 'secret'.

*'''Late 2373''': Tu-Shen, upon hearing of the proposed non-aggression pact between the Dominion and the Miradorn and realizing what it effectively means for his race, attempts to organize a rebellion. This falls flat on its face and he and his family are forced to vacate the planet. Before they're able to board their father's trading vessel, the twins are both struck by Jem'Hadar energy weapons.

Although Lu-Shen survived a relatively minor wound to the hip, Ju-Shen was struck in the back of the head and killed instantly. | ||

Unlike most | *'''2374-2380''': Over the following six years, Tu-Shen and his family travelled through the beta quadrant, trying to stay out of the way and scavenge - but not steal - goods for trade. Unlike most Miradorn who lose their link-brothers, who generally become wholly fixated on revenge and avenging their fallen sibling, Lu-Shen became deeply depressed and unsociable for several years. Perhaps a combination of the anonymity of his brother's actual killer removing the lightning-rod for his wrath, combined with his young age (12 at the time) and his father's lack of experience to guide him through the difficult time he faced (he didn't have a twin, so couldn't fully comprehend the significance of losing one) made Lu-Shen's teenage years more difficult than most. He's still never gotten over his brother's death, but does not have the bloodlust that most Miradorn link-brothers have. | ||
*'''Circa 2378''': At some point during his later teenage years, Lu-Shen begins hearing his brother's voice again, telepathically. He is unable to ascertain whether these are phantom thoughts created to paper over the huge hole in his life left by his brother's death - a sort of invisible friend, as it were - or if some part of his brother still lives inside him. Lu-Shen decides to keep this development to himself, to avoid being labelled insane, however this could be difficult in the federation, with Betazoids and other telepaths and empaths around him. | *'''Circa 2378''': At some point during his later teenage years, Lu-Shen begins hearing his brother's voice again, telepathically.

His decision to change his name stems from a wish to disassociate himself with his Miradorn roots, shunning their violent and quarrelsome reputation, just like his parents. | ||
*'''238104.13''': Upon their son's acceptance, Lu-Shen's parents apply for asylum at Starbase 118, and are now happily living out their time as the proprietors of Shen's Clothing Emporium, selling Shen-Jae's home-made clothing. | *'''238104.13''': Upon their son's acceptance, majoring in Security with a Tactical minor, Lu-Shen's parents apply for asylum at Starbase 118, and are now happily living out their time as the proprietors of Shen's Clothing Emporium, selling Shen-Jae's home-made clothing. | ||
