∞•≫──── ⋅≪ ∞ ≫⋅ ────≪•∞
Pronounced SHEE-RO, shi means “four” and ro means “son.” Basically, he was his parent's fourth kid and they were running out of names.
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Role: New Rider
Appearance:
A look at Shiro is enough to confuse anyone, he looks similar to Kenji, enough to make people who don't fully know him second guess which brother their looking at. Now, they are different in appearance to where, if you stood them beside each other, you could pick it out. They're close to being identical, but having separate distinct features as well. He is a lean creature with defined features, which, include his facial features. Shiro's jaw is angled and sharp from the side, and looking at him straight on his face seems just as defined, a bit different compared to Kenji's more boyish appearance. He still teases Kenji for having baby fat on his face. His nose is straight and angled down, perfectly centered in his face, which takes on a more diamond shape to it. His lips are full and are colored a soft pink in contrast to his tanned skin tone, which has warmer undertones allowing him to have golden skin in the summer. His lips are also shaped in a near-perfect cupid bow. Shiro has dazzling hazel eyes, speckled with various shades of green and brown, turning paler as the colors fade to his iris. A look into them is enough to turn things serious, they're a window into his soul, revealing a completely other side to him. His eyes never lie about his true feelings. His eyes are framed by dark brown lashes, thick and full, nearly enough to make any girl jealous, as his sister tells him. When he laughs you can see little crinkles or "crow's feet" under his eyes, paired with a deep voice. Now this male's eyebrows are sharper and angulated, making his facial features seem sharper and defined at times. His smile is still boyish with his crooked grin and flashy white teeth, causing small dimples to appear on either side of his face if he attempts the motion.
Shiro's hair is definitely an attention-getter, with his hair longer than Kenjis "long locks" and nearly touching his shoulders. His hair is colored a slightly darker brown than his brothers and is thick and lush, paired with natural curls to get the girls. The curl type itself is between a 3a and a 3b, allowing some sporadic springy ringlets to form on his head and its visibly healthy hair. It has a sort of gleam to it in the light and is soft to the touch. Shiro normally styles it with a sort of "man bun" that Kenji teases him for, or just leaving it down. His hair is about medium maintenance and does need a little work in the morning to get it where he wants it, he does not share the same "low maintenance" and "I don't care my hair always looks good" vibe of his brother.
His figure has been worked on for over the past few years. Keeping in shape has kept Shiro's sanity, and he honestly wouldn't know what to do without it, much like Kenji. Running has kept him lean while more weighted exercise has kept his body toned and in prime condition. His torso is narrower, yet his hips and broad shoulders balance it out. His stomach is toned, allowing sight of his abdominal muscles, yet more impressive is this male's back and biceps. Despite gaining some muscle mass, he tends to often hide his physique, more opposite of his showy brother, and prefers baggier clothing. His weight is slightly above average for your normal male boy, with his height adding to his impressive figure. Shiro stands at an impressive 6'1", though unfortunately for him, his younger twin stands an inch taller, and never lets Shiro forget it.
Shiro's scent is a distinctive earthy scent, he spends lots of time outdoors so most of the time one might experience a pine or evergreen scent, perhaps even a bit of lavender if he's out working among the taller grasses and flowers. Another recognizable scent is the faint smell of coffee grounds, he isn't as addicted as Kenji, though he does like the extra kick it gives him for the day.
Shiro is a many of many layers, one including his eye for jewelry. He has both ears priced, one with a black stud and the other with a silver dagger. You can see him with various necklaces or rings as well, really styling compared to his brother, a part of him he really used to help define himself. Shiro is not just his brother's twin, but his own person as well. This male doesn't have many noticeable birthmarks besides one rather large one he keeps hidden. It's not as noticeable as most, but it is as large as his hand and is right over his chest, on the left side of his body. It is a lighter coloration of skin compared to the rest of him, that does not really tan, it stays more of a lighter white color though it is flat. If you were blindfolded and ran a hand over it you would be unable to detect it. It is less noticeable due to its coloration being neutral and similar to his skin, but he is rather self-conscious about it. It's similar to Kenji's, but larger and in a slightly higher, more noticeable spot, if he unbuttons the top part of his shirt you can see a part of it. Other marks he has included a few tiny moles scattered across his arms and face, and he does have some freckles across the bridge of his nose.
Personality:
Shiro is a social being, enjoying the company of friends and acquaintances, though can be more reserved toward new faces. His personality tends to attract all types of people, he is naturally a more flirty person, like Kenji. He is somewhat aware of it and will occasionally put it to his advantage. Subtle comments or expressions, body position, and change in focus all contribute to this. He keeps his “friends close, and his enemies closer”. In any event, those he doesn't particularly like but needs to get along with, he can bring out his charm, making him seem as if he is totally and completely interested in them. However, this can quickly turn if he starts to get annoyed, which will clearly be seen in his expression or tone of voice. He won't get physical over a disagreement. It would take a lot to pull a poor reaction out of him, as he really doesn't care what people have to say about him, though he will not be afraid to voice his opinions if the person has something bad to say about his friends. Besides this, he is a pretty easygoing and patient person.
This male is an observant creature, picking up on verbal cues such as a change in voice, or physical cues such as a shift in stance or motion of the hand. He's also a great listener and can pick up on small details. He tries to be careful about the situations he puts himself in, however, his confidence may blindside him at times. Make a bet? If Shiro is confident he will double the stakes. Offer a duel? Let him grab his sword and he'll be there. Besides this, Shiro is rather intelligent, he enjoys studying dragons and strategizing, particularly for defensive, and offensive purposes. Battles and their endless possibilities of them fascinate him. He is quick to learn, tending to pick up on new techniques or skills particularly well. He becomes quite excited, taking rather faster and his deep voice becomes a pitch higher if he is extremely passionate about a subject. Shiro often uses his hands to talk as well, it helps him express how he is thinking, which he often has a difficult time with. He tends to bottle up how he feels, and when he does talk Shiro just gets all awkward and will fumble with his hands or hair.
This rider gives off a confident air, though not in a way that suggests he is cocky. His posture is rather good, holding himself high and up to his full height, his actions swift and sure. If not out at a gathering or with friends you can find Shiro in one of two places. The first is in some sort of training grounds, he is always looking to make himself better and increase his skills. The second is with his horse, whether he is riding alone or with his friends, a quick ride allows him to clear his mind and refocus. However, due to him being separated from his good friend, he will be found with his human friends. The third is off studying somewhere, “sharpening his mind”, Dragons fascinate him, and they are his favorite subject to learn about.
With friends, you can find Shiro to be a rather outgoing person. He also tends to have more of a sarcastic side and does like a good joke. His laugh is more high-pitched and just funny to hear. This rider is a trustworthy character, he is not one for gossip and will have your back if you have his. He can be stubborn at times, if he is passionate about a subject or convinced he is right there is hardly a soul that could sway him. Shiro is also quite protective of those he cares about, including family and friends. He will do all he can to protect them.
Dragon: Open
Strengths & Weaknesses:
-Knive and Hand-to-hand combat, Kenji is better with a sword but this man is good with forced proximity, hand-to-hand, up-in-your-face kind of fighting.
-Knowledge, he has a lot of previous knowledge on dragons and how to ride them...he just doesn't have any personal experience with it
-Flexibility, Catch Shiro doing daily stretches, which he argues are good for his health
-Shiro is a confident man, which may lead to his downfall in the end. He may take on challenges too large for him to face, putting him in dangerous situations.
-Being left alone, being a twin this is something Shiro never had to worry about, but a fear of his is being forced into a situation where he only has himself to rely on. He is a more social guy and he wouldn't know what to do with himself if he was on his own.
-Family issues, much like what Kenji experiences, making him second guess or overthink friendships at times
Likes & Dislikes:
+ Thunderstorms and rain
+ Dragons, he's basically an encyclopedia when it comes to them
+ Sleep, Shiro is not a morning person and values his 8 hours of sleep
+ Time spent with close friends and family
+ Being outdoors, his current job is working outside, which makes working there go faster
x Humidity & Excessive heat
x Large groups of people, he's a 1x1 or small group kinda guy
