Personality And Traits

Shu Shirakawa conducts himself in an extremely proper manner, but despite this propriety, he is not above condescending his enemies for their weakness. On top of this, Shu is an incredibly intelligent individual, and despite his young age, he has earned a number of PhD's and is a brilliant scientist. Not only that he actually comes from La Gias, where there are only highly developed alchemies and magics, but Shu managed to adopt himself into the Earth science very quickly and even managed to combine it with alchemies and magics. He also is an excellent alchemist and has an even higher amount of mana than prince Palelord.

Shu is also very accomplished in mecha development. It is said that he single-handedly designed and created Granzon, which is one of the most technologically advanced mechas to ever exist, using 1/3 of DC's funding. To further enhance this, he was also able to channel Volkruss's power onto the machine to transform it into Neo-Granzon, one of the deadliest mechas in the SRW universe. After being freed from Volkruss, Shu later learnt to achieve the same effects using alchemy and magic alone.

Chika, Shu's familiar, is a foul-mouthed bird who cares exceptionally much about money, and very talkative. It is revealed by the creator of Masoukishin, Shu has created his familiar in order to obtain Cybuster. However Chika's personality annoyed Shu so much he didn't bother creating second familiar, required to utilize High Familiars of Cybuster.

However, deep inside Shu has a dark past - He was offered as a sacrifice by his very own Earthling mother, who wished to return home by the ritual. On the verge of death, he signed a pact with the evil god Volkruss who saved him from death and granted him supernatural intelligence, at the cost of Volkruss gaining control of his will. Shu has been in conflict ever since, and all his actions onward were ultimately targeted at freeing himself from Volkruss's grasp.

After being defeated by Masaki and his friends, Shu was resurrected by Luozorl Zoran Loiel, a high priest of Volkruss. The resurrection wiped out Shu's memories, but luckily for him (and unluckily for Luozorl) included his own pact with Volkruss. Seizing this opportunity Shu started to rebel and eventually destroyed the entire sect and their god in revenge for having controlled him.

Now free to do whatever he pleases decides to help out Masaki and allies against the threats on the surface and occasionally threats that happen in La Gias, trying to become a more reasonable person in his own way, and now is a person who always keeps his promises when being asked.

His rivalry with Masaki comes from him killing Zeoroot the destruction he caused for Langran and Masaki considers him a threat for every action he does, before fleeing to the surface world of Earth, an event that occurs before Super Robot Wars 2 in the Classic Timeline and most likely also happened in the Alpha and Original Generation timelines. However over the course of the OG Saga: Masou Kishin Games his relationship with Masaki gradually changes with him now being on more reasonable accounts and being more concerned about his well being now having a sense of trust between each other.

History

his mother, Misaki Shirakawa, is a Japanese from the earth, and the Japanese name "Shirakawa Satoshi" is a private name given by his mother. Shu was one of the heirs to the throne, but contracted with the destructive god Sava Volkrus after an incident that occurred in his childhood (around 10 years old). I became the believer. The deep scars on the chest and the distrust of women can be said to be a remnant of that time. Contracting with Volkrus and becoming his servant is a deadly sin in La Geass, and after the facts became known, he was called "Apostate Christophe" and feared. Due to his high ability, he has a strong attachment to this evil god, and he is still being targeted even after being released from the curse named Contract by "Resurrection after Death".
