Shai’s Past

Childhood

Shai grew up in Tuscon, Arizona with his Egyptian mother and American father.

In middle school, his mother left him and his father with seemingly no reason.

His father changed for the worse after his mother left and often took his emotions out on Shai.

Shai came out as trans in high school and his father was not supportive.

Young adulthood

Shai was accepted into a good college with an academic scholarship and left the house as soon as he could.

He studied astrophysics and astrobiology.

His undergrad years were some of the best of his life. He had friends, a stable job, and loved his majors.

He graduated with his bachelors in both astrophysics and astrobiology and went on to a graduate program almost immediately with another academic scholarship.

Shai did well his first several years, but suddenly became ‘obsessed’ with the ‘supernatural’.

He scrapped his supported thesis and began researching ‘anomalous’ activity in the red drawf star system Gliese 667 C.

Staff and his advisors attempted to steer him back to his previous research, but Shai refused.

It’s reported he experienced a ‘mental decline’ and eventually lost his scholarships.

No longer able to afford grad school, Shai had to drop out.

Not long after he dropped out, an organization named SARO took interest in him.

SARO, the Supernatural and Alien Research Organization, got into contact with Shai and offered a dual-pathway program. Basically: the ability to work with them and gain scholarly credit to put towards his doctoral degree with their partner university.

Without asking questions, Shai took said offer and signed the contracts.

For two years Shai worked with the horribly underfunded research organization to study the possibility of life outside of Earth.

After those two years, Shai was able to “officially” earn his doctorate in “xenobiology.”

Present

• At the age of 27, in the year 2035, Shai experienced the beginning of the end.

• Portals opened up in the skies, and Earth became living hell. It was apocalyptic.

• In the chaos and destruction of the “First Contact”, only Shai and a handful of his coworkers made it out of the collapsing research facility and up onto high grounds away from the destruction on the streets of the city they were stationed in.

• Miraculously, they were found by UNE (United Nations of Earth) aid and were rescued.

• The UNE quickly recognized the importance of Shai and his coworkers’ research and knowledge and promised them a place at the UNE headquarters.

• One thing leads to another, time passes, and Shai is now the head of the SARO research division at UNE.

Shai’s Job

• At the start of his new job at the UNE, Shai spent most of his time in SARO’s newly designated lab. It was much better funded than the old one and he genuinely enjoyed working in it.

• As time went on, his presence was requested more and more often in the field to do research.

• He doesn’t particularly enjoy going out and doing so, but the threat of death or harm does not bother him as much as it does others. It’s the apocalypse. He doesn’t really have anything to live for.

• Currently, he and the team he’s on are regularly going out with the intentions to find and close numerous rifts that have opened up around the world.

Other Info

• Shai’s mother cut off all contact once she left. He had no idea where she went or how to see her again.

◦ He hoped that if he discovered something big- something news worthy- wherever she was she would see it.

• He picked up his alcoholic tendencies from his father and he hates himself for it.

• His ears are pierced.

• His self-esteem has gotten so low, he finds most of his value in the work he does.

◦ This majorly contributes to his workaholic-ness.

• Shai and almost everyone on his team has come into contact with hazardous alien material that has “corrupted” or caused physical anomalies to them.

◦ A material Shai himself has named “machina” has caused “corruption” in him- giving him a sort of 6th sense to be able to detect and see opening portals and rifts.

• Due to the corruption he’s underwent, he often times gets headaches and migraines.

• Said corruption also subjects him to nightmares. The little sleep he does get is now seeming more stressful than it’s worth.
