Shane

If I leave my grin behind, remind me that we're all mad here, and it's okay.
Introduction xxxxxHe's a teenager. Often tries to deny it. History xxxxxThe older son by four minutes, and boy does he not let Sebastian forget it. He and his twin were born in rural Montana to a Vietnamese immigrant couple; neither their parents nor their tiny town were prepared for the blue children. It made their family life strained, to say the least. Their early life consisted of a lot of cages and little socialization. Shane blames this for his people skills today, when he bothers to blame anything. Recent years have found them adopted by an artist and a cyborg in New York. It was kind of an arrangement of convenience, to begin with, but has actually turned into the closest thing to family Shane's had. Powers xxxxxShane is pretty obviously adapted for aquatic life. He's got gills running down his sides and the sides of his neck, sharp teeth, sharp claws on his webbed fingers and webbed toes. He's built small and streamlined, and a good deal more cartilaginous than most people. Also he's blue. That's probably the easiest thing to notice. Skills xxxxxThough very bright, Shane has been pretty careless and neglectful with his schooling; it's made his academic knowledge base kind of spotty. When it comes to language, though, he has a gift; he picks up new tongues with ease and his language classes at school have been the one place he cruises through with ease. His native tongue is Vietnamese; in school he's studied Spanish (which he gets plenty of regular practice in, around New York) and Russian (less applicable on a daily basis but kind of a fun challenge.) He's picked up Japanese from his boyfriend, is studying sign language with Dusk, and is starting to acquire bits of French from hanging out with the Tessiers all the time and Thai from Hive. xxxxxOutside of this, he plays violin very well; he studies in school, he studies privately with Ryan Black, and has aspirations of turning this into a career some day. xxxxxHe is extremely athletic and has gotten a lot of practice with combat, both from Prometheus and from the cops' fighting ring and from his own fight club. He is on his school's fencing team and rock climbing club and archery club and he enjoys riding, hiking -- and swimming, of course. He's a capable tracker and excellent hunter, with claws and teeth rather than manmade weapons. xxxxxHe's also, lately, gotten kind of a bit of practice in the business world since opening his own cafe. He takes community college classes in business to learn how to run this better but is getting a lot of on the job training. He also makes a mean cup of coffee.

Spends a lot of time handling client paperwork because a toothy clawed shark is not always the most reassuring face to see for people who've just lost their homes. As a child, was in the very first batch of mutants taken in when Prometheus was founded. Actually kind of liked it there when the project first started. Has actually died (and been resurrected by a good friend Karrie) two times; KIND OF didn't tell his dads about one of these due to a desire to keep them from fretting since in the middle of zombies they had a lot on their plates already. Is in the middle of EXPERIMENTING with religion. Not really entirely sure of what his spiritual beliefs are so he's dabbling in immersing himself in many different religions one after the other. Is starting with things that his family and friends practice, so started off with Shinto and Buddhism and is now dabbling in various incarnations of Christianity. Gets the bulk of his (usually rather overdressy) wardrobe from a respected fashion designer who was his first dad after being freed from Prometheus.	Shane Lanh Holland-Zedner [[Image:|center]] Codename None Birthdate March 21, 1997 Species Mutant Affiliation Xavier's School Alignment Evening Powers Sharky Occupation Xavier's Student RP Hooks Out and Proud - Shane can't exactly BE closeted. But he could be less In Your Face about it. Clubkid - Not that he's /old/ enough to, but he enjoys clubbing. The looks are a bigger barrier than age; there's only two clubs in town that'll let him /in/, but he's at Evolve or Heaven lots of nights. School nights, too. Classically Speaking - For all his brashness, when it comes to music he likes it more refined. He's been studying violin with a musician neighbor while 'bastian learns guitar. Mayhem - Together with his twin, Shane organizes a weekly mutant-focused fight club in the Lower East Side. Invite-only, but good for those looking to brush up on their combat skills. Tiny Businessman - Together with Alyssa, owns Evolve, a mutant-friendly nightclub and cafe in the Lower East Side.
