He personally would rather have blue eyes, so he likes to show his right side to any camera. Personality: Shine is a peacock. He adores showing off, making himself look amazing. He’s very confident, cocky and brave. But, he’s not all about himself. If he really cares about someone (like his parents and girlfriend), he’ll show them his soft-side.

Backstory
Shine was born in District One, raised in a house that we would call “modern” today. His mother, Diamond Platinum, is a fashion designer, while his father, Dazzle Platinum, runs a very successful jewellery company. In Dazzle’s eyes, Shine will be the next owner of his business. Shine is an only child. When he was younger, he always wanted another sibling, but he changed his mind after he overheard kids in the Career training talking about how siblings were horrible.

Speaking of Career training, Shine was enrolled in the program since he was 5. When he was still young, he focused more on how to hold the weapon properly and watching other people, but once he got more confident, he started to build up his strength and use the weapons on the test-dummies.

A year after beginning his Career training, Shine was enrolled in school. He hated it, usually spent the time thinking about how he could be training or fighting with a pencil as if it was a sword. After a TON of begging, his parents eventually took him out of normal schooling and let him focus full-time on training.

A lot of girls had been crushing on Shine. Yeah, he went on a few dates, but he never felt a spark. Until he met Velvet, a brunette with long hair that reaches to her shoulders and bright blue eyes. She was different to the others. She was real to Shine, she always said what was on her mind and he loved that.

Shine had friends, but they were never close. They’d do something that made Shine distrustful of them, like lie to him or make fun of him. Eventually, he stopped looking for friends, but he spent most of his time with his girlfriend. Only one person now does he call his friend, and that person is Opal, a guy who he’s known for a while, but they only talk occasionally. The thing is, once Shine volunteers and he goes into the Justice Building to say his goodbyes, his girlfriend will reveal some major news: that she’s pregnant. Now, Shine has to get back home so he can be a father.
