I. Appearance
Overall. Shihiram is best described as one word when it comes to appearance: handsome. He is not muscular, but well toned, and his facial features are very fair.
Visual. Although the visual isn't the only aspect of appearance, it's certainly the most obvious.

Clothing. Shihiram wears a long black cape with a silver chain across his chest, and a meticulously kept white vest over a blue shirt. Underneath is a barely detectable suit of leather armor. His pants a long and deep black, loosely worn, so they flow with the air around him somewhat. His shoes are well kept and clean nearly always, dark in hue, and upon his hands he wears some jewelry. Mainly, he wears a ring with a large emerald, and a diamond bracelet upon his left wrist. Around his neck is a silver chain with something unseen attached (hidden beneath his shirt). At his side is a rapier, hilt studded with sapphires and rubies, and across his back a shortbow and quiver.
Colors. Shihiram favors a mixture of dark and bright colors, wearing the dark to contrast and show off the light.
Styles. Shihiram always keeps with this general style of clothing, although he does change his actual appearance from time to time.

Values and Goals. Shihiram is a soul-soother, he journeys looking to aid people, in a way. His job entails finding ghosts and souls, and soothing them, helping them pass on. Or rather, making their family and loved ones more comfortable about their passing on. Soul-soother does not only refer to dead souls. His goals are to ensure a good living for himself and his companion. He is not above breaking small rules and laws when the result is good in the end, or above conning people for money when it is necessary. As long as they are happy, isn't that what matters? After all, that is his job.

General. Shihiram values appearance over anything else, and strives to keep it excellent. Even so, he deeply cares about the world around him. People's feelings matter very much to him, even though he often doesn't show it. Sometimes, it's okay to wrong a person if it makes them feel better, even if they don't know it.
Self. Shihiram wants nothing more than to keep his image constant and static. It is powerful and noble, and evokes a sort of mystery that greatly helps his profession.
People. The single most important person in Shihiram's life is Nabi, his best friend. Other than that, he considers everyone important. Everyone has problems, his job is to help them in their problems, whether they are dead or alive.
Traits. Shihiram feels that the most important trait someone can have is kindness. Wanting to help other people or caring for others is beyond words for him, one of the few things that is.
Social Status. Shihiram cares very deeply about how others view him. He wants to be important in the world, he wants people to look up to him. Thus, his appearance is very important.
The World. Shihiram strives to make people happy, money is useful to him for that reason. He will do anything to make people feel well or better when they are down.
Powers. Shihiram serves nobody but himself.
Objects. Shihiram very strongly values his own possessions, viewing them as important tools in his job. Other than those particular items, material goods are unimportant. Tools are tools, beyond that, what does it matter? Only happiness matters.
Ideas. Shihiram is dedicated to his profession, perhaps more than any other soul-soother.Methods.

Ideals. The most important thing to Shihiram when he sets out to do a task is to complete it in a way that makes the employer most content with the results. Even if he does not actually complete the job or do anything towards it, as long as his employer is happy, the money was well spent.
People. Shihiram is very charismatic, often attracting a large following within moments of appearing. He naturally draws attention, and gets along well with most people.
Problems. Shihiram rarely runs from a problem, but just as rarely takes it head on. He often looks for an alternative solution, one that resolves the problem enough so that it is no longer an actual problem. (even if it doesn't actually fix anything, as long as people are happy with the results)
Sacrifices. Shihiram has dedicated his life to his profession, and has no real home. There is little more for him to sacrifice towards his ideals, but he will not die for anyone. Dying helps nobody, only by living for them can you make a difference.
Violence. Shihiram rarely resorts to violence or fighting. He almost always tries to find a way around combat, not because he believes his skills inferior or inadequate, but because fighting makes nobody truly happy.Beliefs.

Religious. Shihiram has no religion, although he shares this information with nobody, except Nabi. He knows there is an afterlife, and that is enough.
Philosophical. The world is as it is, it can get worse or better through the actions of people. Improving it is important of course, and a better world begins with happier citizens. There is nothing more to it.
Political. Government is a good thing as long as it keeps the citizens happy. If the people aren't happy, get rid of it. Happy people means a better society.
Economics. Whatever economy makes people the happiest in general is the best. There's no need to get into the logistics.
Social Groups. Social groups are unimportant. People matter, not organizations.
Other Issues. Magic is a useful tool, as is technology. Both have their places. Nature is to be respected and enjoyed. There's little more to it.Emotions.

General. Shihiram is a deeply emotional person, but does not show it. He cares deeply for almost anyone he meets, but lets nobody know. After all, it's contrary to his image.
Expression. Emotions do not make dealing with people in general easier, when it is your job to help them. By being emotional, you can only bring yourself closer to someone, which won't make them feel better when you leave. For a soul-soother, keeping your distance is paramount.
Specific Emotions.

Anger. Needless violence and killing, and bullying and other activities that only make people feel worse. Insults anger him deeply.
Boredom. Shihiram does not become bored often, he is incredibly patient.
Fear. Shihiram fears little, he has encountered much in his life.
Grief. Shihiram expresses grief with silence of voice, but few recognize the difference. He often plays a dirge when saddened on his ocarina, but only Nabi would be able to tell the difference.
Hate. There is little Shihiram hates except for violence and needless hurt.
Jealousy. Shihiram is a very prideful person, but trys to avoid showing it. He does believe himself to be better than others much of the time, but few recognize that. He feels so because of his idealism, and that others who do not share the same value are slightly lesser in his eyes. This does not prohibit him from helping them, after all, everyone needs a hand and has their own priorities.
Joy. Shihiram can find joy in almost anything, although few recognize it.
Love. Love is a strange emotion to shihiram, and he has difficulty expressing it beyond the compassion he shows in general.
Lust. Shihiram does not show lust, it is beneath him. On occasion, he will seek companionship for a time, but never in the heat of the moment or quickly. These relationships must eventually end, but it because of the need to be close to people that is often denied him that he does so.
Pride. Shihiram is most prideful about his appearance and ideals.
Respect. Aiding others is what most gains his respect, also power. Power far greater than his is worthy of respect on it's own, for it is a greatly useful tool.
Revulsion. Violence is repulsive.
Ridicule. Shihiram does not taunt or insult any, except when it is the best course of action toward completing a mission.
Shame. Killing someone or badly hurting them is shameful except when there is no way to avoid it.
Sympathy. Shihiram is deeply sympathetic.
Likes and Dislikes. What are your tastes?

Color. Shihiram adores color in general. All shades and hues are to his liking. Darkness serves it's purposes though.
Food. Shihiram loves food, as long as it has good flavor. He does not eat much however, careful to maintain his appearance.III. Relations
