Description
Shoga, the flamboyant second-in-command of the Iku Squad, embodies a twisted fusion of flesh and steel. A former military man, he volunteered for Professor Jaguda’s twisted experiments, eager to push the boundaries of human potential. Jaguda responded by transforming Shoga into a grotesque cyborg – a walking arsenal boasting a disturbingly reptilian aesthetic. Despite his monstrous appearance, Shoga retains a surprising level of humanity, albeit a warped and boastful version. He remains fiercely loyal to Professor Jaguda, viewing him as the architect of his “superior” form.
Appearance & Clothing
Shoga is a jarring sight. Standing at an imposing 6’5″, his physique is a bizarre blend of human muscle and mechanical enhancements. His once-human features have been augmented with metallic plating and glowing red accents, giving him a reptilian appearance. Despite his monstrous form, Shoga clings to a semblance of normalcy. He favours tailored suits, a desperate attempt to maintain a veneer of civility in a world that now sees him as a freak. The clash between his human attire and his mechanical body only amplifies his unsettling presence.
Demeanour
Shoga is a walking paradox. He boasts about his enhanced strength and weaponry, revelling in the fear he inspires. He enjoys bullying others, his booming voice and mechanical growls a constant threat. However, beneath this bravado lies a deep insecurity. Shoga grapples with the loss of his humanity, a constant reminder of the price he paid for power. His loyalty to Professor Jaguda is fueled by a twisted sense of gratitude, a belief that the Professor is the only one who truly understands him.
