Physical Description

Standing at 5'2", Shane doesn't look very frightening, even when she's wearing her full suit of armor. As a matter of fact, most people have never even seen Shane without her armor. Some people even believe she is just an android made to look like a suit of armor. In reality, Shane has shoulder-length blonde hair and bright blue eyes. However, in her early years in the military, she lost a leg. The leg has since been replaced with a cybernetic prosthetic with enhanced abilities. She is physically fit with a small frame and lean muscle.

Clothing & Adornments

Shane is not one to care much for material possessions. As such, she is almost always seen wearing her standard-issue armor. Though many people believe she's an AI beneath that suit, when she does come out of the armor, she dresses simply, wearing nothing but grey trousers, a white tank, and combat-ready boots. The only adornment she allows herself is her identification badge and her comm device.

Physicalities

Shane is often stiff, standing with her back straight. Her strides are strong and big, giving her a look of determination and purpose whenever she moves anywhere. She rarely, if ever, performs idle movements, adding to the rumors that she isn't human. When not in her armor, she often performs idle movements that make her seem almost nervous, as if she is uncomfortable without the armor.

Backstory

Raised by a military father, Shane knew from a young age that she would join the military as soon as she was able. It was always her dream. Even after seeing her father die defending the planet, it was still her dream. She would be loyal, as her father was, to her planet, to her species. She would die for the human race if it came to that-- it was her duty. She grew to be a strict perfectionist, loving order and structure above all else. It shows in her work. 

Gameplay Element

This character is one of the player character's companions. There are several scenes in which the player may interact with Shane.

Emotional Arc

Cold and distant, Shane is difficult to communicate and get along with as she is fiercely loyal to the military above all else. As the game and relationship progresses, Shane finds herself growing loyal to the player character and opening up, but only slightly.

Environment

Shane lives in the future, 2371, on a planet called Utopia. Earth was destroyed in the year 2192 by an alien invasion. The world's governments all came together to form the Coalition For Humanity. The CFH took as many men and woman as were willing and built up the militaristic forces of the human race, helping humanity to bond together in the process.

Job/Work

Shane is a Colonel within the Coalition For Humanity. As such, she takes on a great deal of responsibility.

Speech Patterns/Dialect/Accent

Shane speaks with purpose, keeping her sentences short and concise. This often makes her seem very distant and cold, as if she didn't care. However, when speaking about humanity and the military, her tone changes as she lets her fierce loyalty and passion be seen, if only for a moment. She is very formal with her word choices.
