Biography:
The year is 2522. Technology is rampant through humanity, reaching never-before-seen levels of advancement and expansion. Faster-Than-Light travel has made colonizing planets beyond the Furthest Ring solar system possible. Humankind has spread through much of its sector, proud owners of no less than four worlds. Kardas, home of the human military, huge industrial outpost. Moneta, trading center, houses the entire stock market and skilled labor market. Skydas, an enlightened, more "Crystal Spires and Togas" future, full of civilians, everyday folk. Finally, Lyderis, seat of the government.Contego City. A bustling metropolis, central capital of Bouclus, a city-state of Skydas. Known as the "Sentient City", it boasts the highest concentration of robots anywhere. Cars drive themselves, weaving between huge carrier droids that lug raw metal, silicon, and circuit boards from workshop to workshop. They are important; in keeping the inventors well stocked to create wondrous new things, they placate the masses and expand humanity's reach even further. One such tinkerer is Dr. Albert Verdus. By no means a famous inventor, his greatest inventions until this point had been relegated to the back of Space Thrift Shops and the like. He desperately wanted approval from his peers, and set out to create something worthwhile. Something that could do some good in the world.

He created the Paragon robots.

There were three of these robots in the series: Aurora, the vigilante; Basket, the jester; and Shieldman, the guardian. Shortly following their completion, however, an uprising on Kardas brought about the sacking of Contego City, all but leveling the entire district. Dr. Verdus was able to protect his precious creations long enough for them to be fired into space, on a path that would take them each to a different planet. Basket to Moneta; Aurora to Kardas; and Shieldman to Lyderis. It was on Lyderis that Shieldman realized his potential to protect the innocent with his abilities, as well as enforce justice. He was trained by state-sponsored mentors in the art of defensive battle, as well as law, and tempering his hyperactive morality core. This does not mean that his powers are mastered, or that his skill is absolute-- he is still learning.
