Revision as of 22:29, 17 January 2007
Shirogane Shuugo is a gijinka mage who hails from America Mew Mew, having Shirogane Jishou and Elizabeth for parents, and Shirogane Ryou as his older brother. He views life with the same outlook that his father does, and tries his best to keep his own ground with his friends. The teen is never seen without a smile on his face, either.

History
Before Kokoro
Shuugo Brandon Shirogane was born the youngest out of two to Shirogane Jishou and Elizabeth in the America Mew Mew timeline, having an older brother, Shirogane Ryou.
Because of the main difference between America Mew and canon, life was taken at a slower pace. As a result, the family began to secretly teach the Shirogane children the art of magic when their parents were busy. It was quickly discovered that his older brother was meant to control time, but Shuu's magic was harder to find. Fire was too weak to be a strength, water sizzled, earth wouldn't move on some occasions, and so forth. Finally, out of desperation, the elders finally decided to test Shuu for gijinka magic. Surprisingly, it worked. Just by willing it, Shuugo had the strength to transform items without having to learn many complicated spells over the years. Thus, Shuugo's magical education finally began at Esori Academy when he started school, as his older brother's did.
His sword training was to begin a few years later, around the same time that his father would put him into taekwando. Shuu pulled out of the latter in fifth grade, but kept the sword training, which was still a secret to his non-magical parents.
During this time, his father had become more engrossed in his work. As an attempt to hit him into reality, Shirogane Ryou, with the help of Roy Bancroft and (much to Ryou's reluctance), Akasaka Keiichiro. Unknown to them, Jishou had already tested the Project on Shuu and his neighbor, Mizuhara Minoru, a couple years before. The compatibility differed in both cases: Shuu's didn't work, so Jishou went back to the drawing board without seeing the second test's results. In Minoru's case, the DNA was compatible, but became dormant over the years.
The Mew Project was successful, as well as the Second Project. But during the Mew Project, many secrets were let out: Ryou and Shuu had to confess their use of magic to their parents being among them. Much to their relief, Jishou and Liz agreed that it was fine to continue their magic. Life became as normal as it could get for Shuugo from that point on.
Kokoro Days
In reality, Shuugo came to Kokoro in 2004, before realizing that it was actually a different dimension all together, rather than the Japan of his own world. While he was there for the year (during the day only, as he would return home at the end of the day), he befriended the other mages and became a member of The Star Six. Throughout the year, the six mages (who would later be joined by Takaishi Sora, their professor at the time, and Roy Bancroft) went on wild adventures together, and unwittingly learned what made each one... well, him or her.
He wasn't really considered a cafe member until maybe around late 2005, when he first showed up as a result of reading his spellbooks in the lab. He came home afterwards, but he surprisingly came back. The visits became longer, and he befriended many of the cafe members (maybe with the exclusion of Gamu). It was through this dimension that he met Saltigo, as well as his brother's counterpart, and his father's. However, when Shirogane Kumo made an appearance, the fox gijinka debated leaving Kokoro for the first time, as jealousy had gotten to him. Despite the tries his older brother made to help him realize that the love would be the same, something just clicked in Shuu. While he's still hanging around, Shuugo does plan on leaving Kokoro sometime in the future. ...It just won't be any time soon.
Kokoro Draft Future
As his future is up in the air, depending on who he will marry, it's currently unknown what will happen to Shuu.
Personality
Normally, Shuugo's a cheerful kid who seems to take mostly anything in stride. His intelligence, however, mainly lies more in the emotional department. He can easily sense when something isn't quite right, and will usually attempt to fix it if he is in a position to do so (he won't do it if he knows that one wouldn't appreciate it, as he has learned recently).
Unlike his friends, Shuu doesn't have much of a temper, though he gets easily angered when one insults his friends or anything close to him, becoming edgy and defensive until he realizes that they mean no harm. In the case that one does mean harm, the gijinka mage will usually make the pain physical with his transformations. On a side note, Shuu does try to make his transformations a distraction to cease fighting (as in one case where he interrupted a fight between Gamu and Ryou by transforming the table between them into the bear)... not that they always work.
Shuu honestly still doesn't have too much confidence in himself, and will occasionally hesitate when making a decision. He's trying to gain his confidence back, and it has been slowly coming back to him over the months. He isn't as sensitive to words as he used to be, but he still can pick up on their meaning really quickly, despite his attempts to hide it.
Lovelife
- Mimi Belmont: His close friendship with the America Mew Mew leader has led some to think that Shuu actually has some feelings for her. In all reality, however, the two did go on one blind date, but when their common bond, Ryou, was out of the picture, the two realized that they were just close friends, nothing more.
- Ciel Chaffe: If you put logic in the picture, it would make sense that they end up together. Ciel is Berii's counterpart, Shuugo is Meguro's in a sense. The fox gijinka actually does have some feelings for his classmate, even though he doesn't want to quite admit it. With Ciel still in the picture, his future is still currently up in the air. Regardless of how it will end up, the two will probably remain close friends.
- Kuroneko Saltigo: Their road has been smooth sailing, and Shuu does like her quite a bit. The two get along well, since they have similar hobbies,

Mage Information
- Element: Gijinka
Being born a Gijinka, or Transformation as it's known to the English-speaking world, mage is indeed an honor. There are only a limited few in the world, with ten being the record high of them; the reason for their rarity is that a gijinka mage has unspeakable out of combat powers. They can reverse permament transformations, and make their own. There could be more uses for transformation besides those two, but not many have researched them.
...As for Shuu? Due to his weak magic, the mage perfers to strike physically in battle, using his magic as a distraction unless needed.
Weapon
- Winged Saber: A short sword (could be called a dagger) that has a pale blue handle. Where the blade and handle meet, a pair of black angel wings float on either side. Along the side of the blade are the inscriptions of old spells, which control the appearance of the wings.
Abilities
- Transformation: Shuugo can transform any object, living or non-living, into any other object, his limitations being people. While he can return an object to its original form, he sometimes can't return objects to another form due to his inexperience.
- Shadow Hider: Being a fox gijinka, Shuu can easily dodge attacks by slinking into the shadows and hiding there for some point of time. This is usually used to restore energy or to avoid moving targets.
Signature Attacks
- Chronos, Freeze!: (Given by Kyr) By controlling the internal clocks, Shuugo is able to stop time on an person,animal, or object for a certain about of time which usually lasts up to four hours at the most.
- Regen Data: (Given by Daisuke) Using the energy around him, Shuu can heal his physical wounds. If he uses his 'Shadow Hider' ability, then he is able to heal his internal wounds as well.
Unison Attacks
- Burning Change: This attack combines Shikari's Burn spell with Shuugo's transformation abilties. After the two link hands, Shuugo sets a circle made from rope around the foe. Ari then sets the rope on fire, causing the foe to be burned by the flickering flames.
Stats
- Strengths: Defense, Focus
- Average: Evasion, Speed, Mentality
- Weaknesses: Technique, Offense
