Shin's military background has taught him to be frank and his jaded nature can make him appear irate or aggressive at times. Likewise, he only really knows three ways to react to people: 1. If you were his superior, he obeyed you; 2. If you were in his squad, he would die for you; 3. And if you were a threat, then Gods help you.

Shin's military background has taught him to be frank and his jaded nature can lead him to appear more pessimistic or critical than intended, albeit extremely professional in nature.

Towards Subordinates: He shows infinite patience and understanding while being nonchalant and extremely playful as if they were his own children.

Born under the name Yasuhiro Kobayashi, Yasuhiro and his sister, Hibana, were the sole survivors of an attack against his clan by unknown assailants. Escaping under the cover of darkness, the two manage to board a small rowboat and shove off to faraway shores to start a new life. But then his little sister notices something back at the beach. Yasuhiro stands and looks back to the beach to see what it is. A shot rings out. Yasuhiro is struck, losing his left eye, and falling unconscious. More bullets whiz past. A horrified Hibana leaps to shield her brother from the hail of bullets as the boat drifts further out to sea where a storm awaited them. Yasuhiro regains consciousness to the sound of soft whimpering. As his sister dies in his arms, the screams and wails that followed would be lost to thunder as the choppy waves take them under.

Having enlisted in the Garlean military under Gaius' recommendation, Shin quickly climbed the ranks over the years and was eventually accepted into the early research stages of the Ultima Weapon, whose existence was kept secret until after the Seventh Umral Era. This project, based in Ala Mhigo, was intended to reverse engineer and replicate the Allagan war machine's ability to absorb and manipulate the power of eikons, which would then be implanted into pureblooded Garleans. To facilitate this research, genome modification and additional physical augmentation was conducted under the supervision of Alus mal Asina, which would eventually lead to the development of the Resonant Project. The procedures were said to have a near guaranteed fatality rate, information that Alus mal Asina intentionally withheld from Nero tol Scaeva and Gaius van Baelsar. Through luck and fortitude Shin survived the procedure, albeit barely, experiencing occasional migraines and mild seizures.

Shin enlists in the Garlean military at Gaius' recommendation. As he quickly climbed the ranks, he was hand-picked to take part in a joint project led by Alus mal Asina and Nero tol Scaeva that involved gene manipulation to create a pilot capable of interfacing with an ancient Weapon designed for anti-eikon combat. The project is called SOLDIER.

<p>During the recovery stages of his treatments, echo-like visions began to occur. Through visions, Shin received information and memories he never realized he'd had lost: Alus mal Asina ordering a failed abduction-turned-attack on his clan, the death of his sister, and Valens van Varro gleefully firing at him. Enraged, Shin found himself able to preconceive attacks while fighting his way out of the research facility until stopped by Gaius. Stalemated, Gaius stands down and allows his ward to escape, lamenting that he wanted Shin to meet "the new foster children". A small pursuit force would chase Shin throughout Aldenard and into The Black Shroud, but the sole surviving team lead, an augmented Kazuhiro oen Kobayashi, would report that he was defeated by Shin, now wielding an obsidian blade, and that his entire squad was bisected in a single blow.

Project SOLDIER is considered a failure. Insurrection breaks out within the laboratory and subject E14 escapes. An injured Gaius van Baelsar reports the subject was killed, having died from injuries as it fell into the ocean. Alus mal Asina sends a clandestine squad of troops led by a SOLDIER, subject Alpha-ZERO, to verify the report. The squad finds itself traveling to the Shroud, where it encounters Shin. A battle breaks out and Alpha-ZERO would be forced to retreat and report back that he was defeated while his squad was simultaneously eliminated by the single blow of an obsidian blade, meanwhile Shin falls into a state of hibernation, encased in crystal among a hidden spring in the Shroud.

Awakened years later to the destruction brought forth by Bahamut and the fall of Dalamud, Shin found himself without the black sword from before, and hitches a ride on the back of a passing wagon into New Gridania. Having operated as a Twin Adder freelancer for several years, now bearing the moniker "Kintsurugi," word began to spread that those saved by Louisuoix Leveilleur during the Battle of Carteneau had begun to reappear. Realizing this meant the return of the Warrior of Light, the remaining pieces were now on the board as Shin embarks on a quest for vengeance.

The two fight, but Shin is defeated as ZERO explains that their powers allowed them to copy and control the aether of a Primal, revealing that he not only possessed the power of Bahamut, but that he was also able to merge it with his own aether to become Bahamut-ZERO.

Early Life

Childhood

Born under the name Yasuhiro Kobayashi, he is the lone survivor of a raid against his family's compound. He had a twin brother, Kazushiro, and an adoptive sister, Nanashi. His memories of his family are vague and instill a sense of confusion, but he loved his siblings.

Having suffered from amnesia and a gunshot wound to his left eye, Yasuhiro was found by a young Gaius Baelsar and given the name "Shin."

Adolescence

Shin enlists in the Garlean military at Gaius' recommendation. As he quickly climbed the ranks, he was hand-picked to take part in a joint project led by Alus mal Asina and Nero tol Scaeva that involved gene manipulation to create a pilot capable of interfacing with an ancient Weapon designed for anti-eikon combat. The project is called SOLDIER.

Project SOLDIER is considered a failure. Insurrection breaks out within the laboratory and subject E14 escapes. An injured Gaius van Baelsar reports the subject was killed, having died from injuries as it fell into the ocean. Alus mal Asina sends a clandestine squad of troops led by a SOLDIER, subject Alpha-ZERO, to verify the report. The squad finds itself traveling to the Shroud, where it encounters Shin. A battle breaks out and Alpha-ZERO would be forced to retreat and report back that he was defeated while his squad was simultaneously eliminated by the single blow of an obsidian blade, meanwhile Shin falls into a state of hibernation, encased in crystal among a hidden spring in the Shroud.

Awakened by events of the Seventh Umbral Calamity, Shin integrates into Eorzean society with the help of a Lalafel named Alataru as part of reconstruction efforts following the Fall of Dalamud and the destruction caused by the Elder Primal, Bahamut. The two would continue to work as handymen-for-hire and adventurer sellswords on occasion for seven years.

Adulthood

A Realm Reborn: Alataru is executed by Valens van Varro. The overwhelming loss and panic triggers an Echo-like effect, restoring Shin's unknowingly lost memories. A black sword appears and Shin transforms into Odin, destroying his pursuers. Shin marks a grave for Alataru at Urth's Fount in honor of how they first met. Shin goes on a journey to find the whereabouts of those responsible for the destruction of his clan, first meeting and fighting Gaius van Baelsar on several occasion, finally making amends with Gaius following the assault of the Praetorium with Shin helping him to escape after the destruction of the Ultima Weapon and Lahabrea.

Stormblood: Alpha-ZERO approaches Shin, warning that Aulus mal Asina has furthered his genome research and managed to replicate and improve the procedure that created the original SOLDIERs although their purpose was no longer to become pilots of the now-known Ultima Weapon thanks to modifications made by Nero tol Scaeva, referring to them now as Resonants. The two fight, but Shin is defeated as ZERO explains that their powers allowed them to copy and control the aether of a Primal, revealing that he not only possessed the power of Bahamut, but that he was also able to merge it with his own aether to become Bahamut-ZERO. Shin joins the Seven Scions in the liberation of Ala Mhigo in order to kill Aulus mal Asina, however using the Zantetsuken as Odin this time was too great a strain on his body, causing him to deteriorate into the aether.

Shadowbringer: During the time where he was without a body, Shin came to understand how to control his aether before possessing a clone of himself created by Gaius and Estinien. Shin merges the aether of the Zantetsuken with his own to create the Shin-Zantetsuken.
