Shelby comes from an Earth that — to put it simply — occupied by anthropomorphic animals instead of humans. The technological era is equivalent the real-life present day with the state of global politics being... at an uneasy calm. Not all nations are situated on land and are instead located within the world's ocean, mainly harboring aquatic species. The natural world remains very reminiscent to as it is in real life; non-anthropomorphic animals exist separately from anthropomorphic animals, and the humanoid characteristics of the latter is often attributed to divine intervention (because that's exactly what happened). The pollution and overpopulation problem is much less of an issue, but the effects is becoming noticeable globally.

Shelby runs a small vehicle scrapyard as a business along with his mother. He does do the usual deal of buying and selling scrap items, but takes the opportunity to use undesirable parts as spare material for personal projects.

Shelby began life as... an abandoned 1 year old baby. His parents were found recently deceased nearby, but thankfully the single woman that found him willingly decided to adopt Shelby. Aside from this, he had managed to live a relatively normal life throughout childhood and teenage hood, even without a father. Shelby helped with his mother's scrapyard business — who was actually an unbelievably good mechanic — towards the latter years of his adolescence before working full-time there.

When he turned 18, Shelby's mother decided it was finally time to share the family secret with him — magically supplied knowledge that are passed down from generation to generation, as well as magical items that give him specific abilities (see 'Telekinetic Magic' and 'Thermal Manipulation'). Aside from being given essential magical items, his mother duplicated a small piece of her soul and implanted it onto Shelby's soul. Along with this, Shelby had been warned that this is strictly a secret, and it is his responsibility to wield it responsibly because of it's power. After this, he continued to live a normal life (with the alternate side of being a technomancer) until one afternoon when a blue breach suddenly appeared in front of him while driving....

These metallic marble-sized spheres are used by Shelby to cast telekinesis and thermal manipulation using his own thoughts, and are strictly attuned to him. In addition to only being usable by him, this allows for vocal or somatic components in spells to be completely circumvented. They look to be made of stainless steel with black grooves that wrap around each hemisphere. While active, the Magic Beads begin to float and arrange themselves around Shelby to resemble each vertices on a dodecahedron. In the case that any spell is casted/effect is triggered by Shelby, beams of magic instantaneously materialize and bridge the beads together to form something reminiscent of each edge on a dodecahedron. When this is achieved, each bead — which compose the face that is looking towards the direction Shelby wants to cast towards — project a converging beam of magic energy, casting the desired spell.

This was a standard Gavril D-Series D15 V8 AWD (M) that had been extensively modified by Shelby himself. The suspension was converted to independent (front) and 3-link live axle (rear) with lifted coilovers. For the wheels, he fitted sturdy rims equipped with chunky all-terrain tires. The drivetrain has been changed to 4WD, limited-slip differential and 6-speed automatic. When it comes to the engine, the original had been swapped to a turbocharged 6.0L diesel V8 pushing 30PSI; this engine creates +450hp and +1400nm. As for accessories, the stock truck bed had been exchanged with a smaller bed, but with side steps. The roll cage was installed for protection in case of rollovers, as well as reinforcing the chassis. Both bumpers at the front and rear were replaced with bulky off-road bumpers with a bull bar included into the front bumper, and a tow bar for the rear. Atop of the cab is a roof rack with quad rectangular LED lights for low-visibility conditions.

In the glove box, Shelby keeps the maintenance records, owner's manual and workshop manual since he maintains the vehicle on his own.

On the surface, this is just an ordinary phone and while it is, this contains lots of personal photos and loved music albums.

This baseball-sized smooth sphere — as strange as it is — imitates any unpowered mechanical tool needed by Shelby. The Orb of Techne will only respond to Shelby because of attunement, and it can change size or mass slightly for what is appropriate for the application. It visually appears to be composed of polished brass with neon cyan lines forming circular patterns along the exterior. Any form used by the Orb of Techne retains the polished brass and patterns, but is unbreakable like the orb itself.
