Shen

Shen is an antagonist and a luminous cuttleling with a scar on his right eye.

He is the replacement for Aether, a previous Splatroad villain who was poorly written.

Appearance
Shen is a Cuttleling with two tentacles over his right eye, two on his head that stick up like horns, and two in a ponytail on the back of his head. These tentacles are black and fade to orange, though the tips of the tentacles also have 3 black diamond/triangle-shaped markings that are his luminous marks. His eyes are orange, and his right eye is scarred and supposedly blind from a fire in his past. He actually lost his right eye, and the one currently there is an artificial one. The mark on his left shoulder is the mark of Beam's group of workers, though it is a temporary tattoo.

Shen wears a jacket of sorts that is sleeveless, but also gray arm covers with orange rims on his forearms. The "hood" of the jacket is gray with orange ties, and serves as a mask of sorts. The main hood is a dark gray with a large pocket. The main hood also has two orange stripes that are pointed down on either side to make it look like arrows. Shen wears gray pants with an orange arrow stripe on each leg. His shoes are dark grey with orange patterns and gray tips.

Personality
Not much is known about him, but based on a vine with him and Zinnia, it seems that he is easy to make sad. He can also take a joke/pun.

Olive has described him as "more calm" with a defined personality. He is supposedly going to be "a likeable character while still remaining a villain".

Powers
Because he is a luminous, he has the ability to manipulate light as a power. However, it takes energy to activate his luminous form, and it tires him out afterwards.

Role
Prior to the events of Cephilim, something happened to him that caused a fire and him to lose his eye. He became Beam's "apprentice" after Beam supposedly took him in.

Shen has a proper redemption arc planned for him.

Extras
- He was moved from a main antagonist to a less important one.

- The mark on his left shoulder is based on Aether's trait stealing pin from Splatroad, referencing the 9 traits.

- Shen means "god" in Chinese, though it is unknown if this was the specific reason it was used (seeing how the word aether meant an extremely powerful element/heaven itself).

- His clothing resembles a style similar to Nexus Laser's, though it is unknown if it has anything to do with that.
