[ Tamer ] Shuyin, the Ouroboros

Shuyin can be outgoing and socially adaptable, getting along with people pretty easily. However only a handful - if not even close to none - of them really know how he feels about friendship. He rarely consider someone to be his friend and mistrust many due to his principles and philosophy.

While he doesn't mind the tranquility of loneliness, he really enjoys company. Accepting help from others on the other hand is a completely different story. He wants to keep his problems to himself, trying to solve them alone since being helped is equal to being weak for him.

Since Shu has been alone at home most of the time due to his parents' working schedule, he learned to be independent to a certain extent at early age. While he'd still behave like a teen, he is certainly not unable to care for himself. However, when it comes to independence, he priorize his own well-being over anything, thus merely doing things sufficiently to get by (e.g. grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning now and then, studying when he feels like it, etc.).

Usually he behaves sarcastic, not mincing matters at all and being rather disrespectful and rude. He can't care less about laws, social rules and whatsoever. Instead he acts on his own personal principles, though mostly on a whim. This makes him really unpredictable to people, who doesn't know him well.

Shu is strongly individualistic, which means that he plays tricks on whoever he wants and whenever he wants, being the natural trickster he is. He just can't help but love any kind of pranks. Over the course of time, his love for devilry didn't waver - on the contrary, if anything it only got even bigger. That is why he easily gets into fights - not that he would mind. Whenever he feels like fighting, he'd provoke a brawl anyway even if his opponent is stronger than him. Careful, though! He doesn't refrain from playing dirty.

All in all, Shu doesn't care about winning or loosing, responsibility or duties. He just does whatever he wants.

[SELF-RELIANCE]

Being the son of a hardworking middle-class family, whose parents are both working most of the time, Shuyin has learned to be autonomous quite early. He's neither the best cook nor the best homemaker, but he knows his way around getting a meal done or keeping his place clean. That's probably one of the very few traits of him, which show that he can actually be mature and independent if he wanted to. Sadly he rarely shows this side of him to anyone.

[CREATIVITY]

Shuyin may not be super intelligent or a great tactician, but he certainly is creative. This trait comes naturally after years of trickery and devilry. Providing he has enough informations about the situation and the surroundings, he can come up with several ideas and plans right away which will serve his purpose. However, he uses this talent mostly for pranks.

[PROVOCATION]

Since he usually speaks up whatever is on his mind, regardless of the matter, he happens to infuriate people around him easily. Being a sarcastic and sassy smartass doesn't help his situation either. And then there are those other times, he mocks someone on purpose...
Even though it often happens, he never intends to hurt someone's feelings, though. Unless he doesn't like that specific person, because then he couldn't care less about their feelings.

[PHYSIQUE]

Shu is – by all means – neither strong nor sturdy. He's just an average boy with average physique and average strength. He loses most of his fights due to his inability to pack a punch. Even though he had been in numerous fights already, his endurance is not really  enhanced or anything at all. Any punch still hurts as much as the first time he ever got hit. He merely learned to suck it up and not cry about every boo-boo.

Despite spending a lot of time outside in the sun, Shuyin sports a light warm complexion, gets rarely sunburns and tans really slowly.

Born with black hair, he has colored his hair multiple times over the years but is eventually content with the current one - a reddish tinted brown, accompanied with light brown eyes. He likes to keep his hair short and plain, though for some reason it always seems to be messy.

At first glance, he'd seem slender, skinny and frail but his bodily structure is like any other boy's in his age, even though he weighs lighter than someone would anticipate. Since he's alone most of the time, he would miss a meal now and then because he's too lazy to cook or merely not hungry to begin with.

Most of the time, you can see him smiling or grinning smugly, especially whenever his mischievous brain is about to come up with a plan for devilries. By smiling he also tries to hide his true intentions and feelings. Over the course of time, it became so much of a habit that he would sometimes forget what kind of facial expression he does himself.

His usual attire consists of a zippered green shirt with a white hoodie and black sleeves, gray pants with a black belt and dark brown shoes. Given certain weather conditions, he'd wear a black jacket, too. Of course he owns much more outfits, which are mostly dark-colored. His style is rather plain and casual, enabling him to match different pieces of clothes easily.

While he's not a friend of accessories, he'd sometimes wear a necklace or a bracelet now and then. However, he constantly wears a golden ring on his right index finger, only taking it off if really necessary.

Shuyin usually keeps his D-3 Digivice in his bag and sometimes in his pocket, since he thinks he wouldn't need his digivice often.

Shuyin was born on 26th October as the first and only child into the Heiwajima family. While his parents aren't poor nor wealthy, they probably have less money than the average middle class. His father works full-time in a factory, rarely being at home earlier than late evening and his mother used to work as a kindergartener.
The lack of a father figure most of the time led to Shuying growing up becoming a trouble maker. It started with little annoyances in the late evening whenever his father came home, seeing that he seeked the attention of his parent but since his father had been too exhausted to deal with little Shu, the little annoyances spilled over to neighboring families, local stores and sometimes even a random passerby on the street. His mother tried her best to keep him at bay, teaching him proper manners and whatnot.

Like in any normal low-class to middle-class asian family, Shuyin started to learn cook and clean at the age of 8, so that he could help with home tasks - of course only easy stuff like cooking rice, frying an egg, tidying up, operating the washer correctly and drying the wet clothes. It turned out helpful to him, when his mother changed her job to be employed in a small establishment when he was 10. There, she got a better wage but also had to work longer, leaving Shuyin to take care of the house alone.
At that time, her influence on him, which restrained his mischievious nature, seemed to vanish and the absence of his parents led to frustration and longing for affection.

For a long time, he was known as the devil's child in his neighborhood. His striving for affection backfired and instead of being loved he was soon disliked and hated by adults and peers. When his parents heard about his reputation, they tried to confront him, but he always refused to talk about it. Starting Junior high school, he finally made his first friend: A strong-willed girl called Ayano. She was unexpectedly mature for her age due living in a big family with many in siblings, and was certainly good influence to Shuyin; she likes and enjoys his individuality and scolds him when he takes a joke too far. She joins his stupid games but stops him if his games would cause trouble for everyone. She even taught him how to behave so he wouldn't end up alone again and introduced him to her friends. All in all, she was like his mother – a restraining but necessary link to society.

When Shuying was 14, however, Ayano's father got a new job and her family had to move away.
At first, the boy was scared he'd end up alone again without her by his side, but she reassured him they would always be friends. As a proof of their friendship and their vow, they exchanged gifts on the day of her departure. Ayano gave him a golden ring, stolen from her oldest brother, while Shuyin gave her a necklace he had secretly taken from his mother.
