Appearance
Personality
Shen is an incredibly serious, merciless and confident warrior and leader, who often goes for strategic methods to gain advantages in conflicts. He lacks all forms of pity, and is closed off from any sort of negotiations or offerings that he feels do not benefit him. Shen is extremely unforgiving, often lashing out quickly if his subordinates have given weak excuses for failure, or if somebody insults the legacy of the Gikoku Family or his Oka Eritoshin, this is often in prejudice, as he often kills perpetrators for this. This can often lead to very disproportionate results. Shen is a strong believer in fate, and criticises those who underestimate him or his armies.
Shen cares deeply for his Oka Eritoshin, as well as the Shogun of the Makai Clan, Shiro Magala, and his second-in-command, the Gikoku Family Shogun, Oran Mandarin. Shen despises the weak, as well as traitors, as seen when he murdered his sister and brother in law for being a blood-traitor and a "weakling", respectively, in cold blood. Shen is noted to be fearless, and courageous, batting an eyelash even at the concept of death. He holds the reputation of the Gikoku Family legacy, as well as that of the Makai Clan, in very high regard. Shen is somewhat bitter towards allies who don't work directly under him, depending on their active relations with him. Shen is also very proactive and perceptive, often being able to pull strings to benefit him, as well as allowing him to detect even the slightest lie.
Shen enjoys war, regardless of whether he's participating or not, making him susceptible of having a blood-lust, and a craving for violence. He also seems to have an enjoyment in both physical and mental torture, having tortured Sanzu Kane for a thousand days just to see how long he would last, and if he was worthy of keeping alive. Shen can also be extremely brutal to those who do not uphold their end of deals made with him, often sending his subordinates to capture them, or capture their loved ones, the latter usually resulting in the head being severed and sent to the failed benefactor, with the only alternative being the burning down of the benefactor's home, both of which giving signs of his dominance.
Shen's favourite drink is sake, often bringing a gourd filled with it to occasions such as meetings. This has led to him gaining the habit of crushing glasses filled with wine underneath his gourd.
