Sho

Sho is the main playable protagonist of the Crimson Sea series. Due to his status as a Vipa, a rare human being able to harness the power of Neo-Psionics, he soon finds himself dragged into protecting his home galaxy of Theophilus from the threats of evil.

Crimson Sea
In the first game, Sho and his young buddy, Yangqin, are working as detectives on their home planet of Grarve. However, work has been slow, and Sho refuses to take money from those who need it more just to make sure he and Yangqin have enough for themselves. It is one day though that Sho's life changes forever, as a very sexy young woman enters his office and offers a large reward to Sho and Yangqin, with the prospect of making much more if they agree to her job.

Deciding it couldn't hurt, Sho takes the job, and makes his way into the depths of Grarve to retrieve the object she wanted him to find. When he does, he is attacked by a large slime Muton. After he defeats it, he finds himself surrounded by soldiers, along with the woman who hired him, with Yangqin as a hostage.

It is later that Sho learns that the woman is Live D, a high-ranking commander of the IAG (Intelligence Agency of the Galaxy), and the job she sent Sho on was a test to see if he was worthy of joining her organization. Since he proved himself, Live D assigns him and Yangqin to G Squad, with their objective being to help protect Theophilus from the threat of the Mutons. As Sho meets his fellow agents in Kecak, Bow Rahn, and Shami, he also begins to learn of his origins as a Vipa and harness the power of Neo-Psionics to fight off the Muton threat.

Crimson Sea 2
In the sequel, Sho has remained with IAG for some time, helping Live D and her forces against a new threat thanks to his Vipa powers and Neo-Psionics. When it is discovered that Theophilus is threatened by a new entity known as the "Menace", Sho meets a fellow Vipa in Feanay, who seems to be tied to the Menace in some way, and teams up with her to combat the Menace and protect Theophilus from it, while also discovering Feanay's true origins.
