Background

Official Description

Volume 1

Shawn Peter Raul Mendes is university student entering his 1st year. When he and his peers were transferred to Auckland, New Zealand, they were staying in a creepy, old fashioned house. When exploring the place that night, something was glowing on the bookshelf. Luke accidently touched it when all of the sudden, he and his peers were falling down from the trap door to the underground. That's when they meet an old man who is the guardian. He is given the amulet of Fire which gives him the ability to shoot fire and control it from his hands and Earhquake when he can use it to shake the ground. Whenever his powers are used, his pupils and irises disappear and his eyes become orange.

Volume 2

Shawn Peter Raul Mendes is a Canadian 21-year-old student with Leo-themed powers. When he and his peers were about to enter their house in New Zealand, they were falling down all of the sudden. They soon met an AI who lead them to an office where they meet Sir Simon again. When he activates his powers this time, he has an orange and black suit with orange-screened goggles and he can use his powers.

Appearance

He is shown to have short messy curly brown hair moved on the left(his right), brown eyes and fair skin. He wears a long-sleeved dark blue shirt, black jeans and black shoes and wears an orange bracelet on his left wrist. His sleepwear consists of a white tank top and black shorts. He stands on 6 ft. 2 and is of average weight. He has an ahoge in the manga and anime version. He turns orange in his spirit form. In Volume 3, his sleepwear consists of a white shirt and black sweatpants. Shawn's hair grew longer making it similar to Luke's hairstyle several months prior to the series starting from Volume 3 Season 8.

Personality

He is optimistic and smart and is shown to be open and bright. He can also be playful like his 1st year friend, Devan. Despite being shown this way, he can also be serious like when he tells his friends to look out when he used his fire powers.

Shawn is also caring and like his peers, he has interest in university and gets the creeps during their first day in Auckland. He is also cheerful and can sometimes be sarcastic. At times, he can also show immaturity. He also finds wearing a kilt ridiculous.

Etymology

Despite the series mainly taking place in Australia and New Zealand and that Shawn is Canadian, Shawn is an Irish name though he is of British and Portuguese descent.

His middle name, Peter is a Greek name and is popular in Europe and his other middle name, Raul is a Spanish/Portuguese name. And his last name, Mendes is also a Portuguese name. So it does make sense since Shawn is of British and Portuguese origin so his name is also European.

'Shawn' is a masculine given name and an anglicised spelling of the Irish name Sean and it is also German for beautiful.
