Shiro
Lieutenant Takashi Shirogane (a.k.a. Shiro)

※ He is a skilled and aggressive martial artist.
※ Although quick to protect and take care of others, he refuses to show weakness, even in front of those he trusts the most.
※ His favorite meals are hearty, home-made ones even though he himself cannot cook to save his life.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Shiro is a handsome, tall, and broad-shouldered man with a muscular frame, chiseled jaw, and wide-set chin. He has black hair shaved into an undercut with short white bands centered on his forehead. His eyebrows are prominently thick and his dark grey eyes show unrestrained kindness. Across the bridge of his nose is a long scar. His most distinct feature, however, is the mind-controlled Galra prosthetic that replaces his lost right arm, beginning just over his elbow and mimicking his natural arm’s shape.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Shiro has always been meek, shy, timid, and was known for his lack of self-confidence. Born with a degenerative muscle disease (most likely Becker Muscular Dystrophy), he was also a physically frail and weak child. This had the result of him being a target of bullying and general mockery among his peers. Despite this, he never resented those who made fun of him, always showing remarkable resilience and kindness. Just before passing away, his paternal grandfather, whose grandparents had fought during World War III, told him that people can only truly kill someone once in their lifetime, elaborating that those who have killed many times are no longer human, fated to live with their guilt until their death. It was at this moment that Shiro knew he wanted to devote his life to protecting those around him.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Kind-hearted, grounded, and imbued with a sense of justice to do the right thing, Shiro is a born leader who is unaware of his own capacity to lead. Although he holds a commanding presence, he is sensitive to the struggles and concerns of others, making him a policeman respected by everyone. Despite this, he understands very well that tough decisions must be made sometimes, and he is willing to potentially disregard his own personal safety if necessary. While seemingly appearing composed and emotionally stable, Shiro, in truth, suffers from immense post-traumatic stress disorder following his disappearance two years ago. A head injury sustained while he escaped has caused suppression of his memory, so he remembers little of what has actually happened during those two years. There are moments when he has flashbacks to events he cannot clearly recall, which causes him to freeze up and become vulnerable. The experience shook him to his core and triggers him to violently lash out, a very clear reveal that he is more fragile than he allows others to know. It also sometimes leads him to make irrational choices based on his trauma in spite of being extremely collected most of the time. Still, his resilience can be considered a force of nature in itself, as he is able to endure and withstand just about anything, often adapting on the fly to new threats and environments. Despite his PTSD, he is still able to fight back and endure incredible levels of stress, both mental and physical, and is very skilled at concealing his trauma from his friends most of the time.
