Overview

History

Five years before BrianD was accepted into Video Game High School, a blond Shane Barnstormer and his twin brother, Ashley Barnstormer III, attempted to enroll at VGHS but were rejected by Dean Calhoun. After failing to convince Calhoun to accept them because they were the best twin gamers in the world, Shane automatically asked Mrs. Barnstormer for her checkbook. He gave "dirty old poor person" Calhoun a check for $900,000 (writing the check out to "Poor Person") but was rendered speechless when Calhoun tore the check into pieces. Calhoun then told them "At first you weren't getting in because you're twelve and this is a high school. But now you're never getting in because you're terrible people." Shane was incredulous and said "If we're so terrible, then how come we get everything we want?" Shane was further confused by Calhoun's comment of "Exactly what a terrible person would say." Ashley asked their mother to buy VGHS for them but she said no, she had just bought them their own energy drink company to run. The two to whined in disappointment, so Mrs. Barnstormer promised that if the two managed to get their company's stock up to $400 a share she might buy the school for them. Shane glared at Calhoun as he promised in an aggressive, cracking voice "We're gonna buy your dumb school and throw you out on the street!"

Napalm Energy Drink soon became a successful company with its stock peaking at $374 a share. Rival energy drink Jock Juice, endorsed by The Law, started to sell more than Napalm, causing Napalm stock to drop. To go after The Law, Shane faked a drowning at sea, dyed his platinum blond hair brown and applied at VGHS online under a pseudonym inspired by Ashley, who watched over his shoulder while eating stuffed-crust pizza.

Soon after, Shane and Ashley parted somberly.

At his first day as a student of VGHS, Shane was concerned Calhoun would recognize him. When he didn't, Shane smugly told Calhoun that his name was "Shane. Shane Pizza."

Season 2

Shane Pizza is first seen in Episode 2 in a room full of players from the Real Time Strategy Team. He is competing with another RTS player and he seems to be having the upper hand, having predicted all of his opponent's moves. Just as his opponent was about to forfeit, Ki Swan blurts out a flaw in Pizza's setup and gives advice to Shane's competitor. An annoyed Shane asks the crowd who "the nerd" is, and Ki explains that she would like to try out for the RTS team. Pizza asks his team mates if Ki Swan is worthy of the RTS team to which they give a number of reasons why she shouldn't be on the team before coming to the conclusion of "selling this turkey", implying that Ki cannot join the team.

Shane Pizza's business card.

Shane appears later in the episode looking for Ted Wong but instead comes across Ki. He is revealed to be the head RA, and replaces Ted with Ki as RA of the Frag Floor. Ki argues with Shane, but Shane just gives her his business card and subsequently leaves. This is also when his last name is revealed. Just before Shane disappears around the corner, Ki calls out to him that his name is dumb. Shane responds by telling Ki to flip the business card, where his sarcastic retort to the comment, "You're dumb," is written.

Shane is briefly seen in Episode 3, where he walks past Ki and her father, Kenneth Swan while telling Ki that he doesn't care about any of the good things she's done.

In Episode 4, Pizza sees Ki hanging up an article on the newspaper version of Games Dean's web show, The Daily Dean. The article mentions that the VGHS teachers rank Ki Swan the number one RA. Pizza sees this, and holds up a piece of poop that he identifies to be an animal's. Shane attempts to identify what animal the poop belongs to by sniffing it, and the scent gives him memories of his successes, and his childhood where he was bullied by the other children. Back to the present, Shane forgets what they were talking about, but threatens Ki that if he finds the animal that the poop belonged to, he will tell the teachers.

Later in the episode, Shane finds Ki with the supposed animal, a cat by the name of Cheeto belonging to Brian Doheny. He picks up the cat, and Ki attempts to negotiate with him. When this doesn't work, Ki sprays silly string in his eyes, causing him to drop the cat, which runs away with both Ki and Shane chasing him. However, they are stopped when they both run into The Law who is playing with a remote controlled buggy. Cheeto gets on the buggy and rides away with it. The Law can no longer control the buggy because it is out of range. Shane and Ki chase the buggy into the FPS competitive game against another school (the buggy's charging station, which it would automatically return to if out of range of the remote, was placed in the auditorium), where Cheeto is thrown off the car because it hits a stair step, and lands on Brian's face. Brian, instead of removing Cheeto, gains a confidence boost and manages to disarm the bomb (something he was having trouble with earlier in the episode.

The Law vs Shane Pizza

In the final moments of Episode 4, Shane is seen having hidden cameras in The Law's secret room. Shane fears that The Law is on to him as he sees that The Law has found the camera in his room. Just as Shane was about to handle it, he is surprised to see the same buggy that The Law had earlier in his own secret room. The R/C car is revealed to have been wiretapped, and Shane looks back at the camera to see The Law smiling at him. The Law bursts in Pizza's secret room, shouts at Shane, and leaves the room laughing with his R/C car following him. Pizza is amused and smiles.

In Episode 5, Law follows Pizza as he walks outside on his cell phone, talking to his cousin Kerry. Law spies on Pizza, as he admits he framed Law for aimbotting to Kerry. Shane keeps getting closer to Law, and says "Yeah, he's right here." Law looks puzzled at this, but as he turns, Shane appears behind him, and says "Hello, Law". His goons grab Law and throw him into the dirt. Shotbot appears and breaks up the fight, as Shane's goons say "Oh no, a girl! She'll tell the other girls!" and run away. Shane looks at Law, and says "This... this isn't over," and walks away.

When Shotbot and Law attempt to beat up his younger cousin, Shane appears behind Law again and tases him. He then reveals that Shotbot isn't a girl, but the actual Shotbot, astounded that Law hadn't noticed by then. Shane's goons once again drag Law away as he yells abuse at Shotbot. 

Shane later appears talking to Law in the dark, although Law is suspended over a pool of freezing water. Shane places all the evidence of him framing Law around Law's neck in a flash drive. He then leaves. 

In the finale, Shane announces his candidacy for student body president. Ki, moments later, announces that she, too, will be running for student body president. He threatens her quietly as the crowd continues cheering them on.

Season 3

In Episode 1 of season three Shane bribes VGHS by handing out free pizza and by promising pizza parties. This is very successful and he has a distinct advantage over Ki Swan. Later, it is told that he is the biological brother of Ashley Barnstormer of Napalm Energy Drink High School, revealing that Shane's real last name is Shane Barnstormer.

During the next few episodes, Shane continues his quest against Ki Swan for the election. He promises the students vending machines, which was an idea from Ki Swan and also dictates that he doesn't care about anything because being rich means everything. Though Shane eventually obtained more votes than Ki Swan, Ki had added more votes for herself, and admits she did at the end of Episode 3, resulting into leaving VGHS until returning after Episode 5.

In Episode 5 the motivation behind Shane's vendetta against VGHS and framing The Law is revealed to be all in an effort to stage a hostile takeover of Video Game High School. The Barnstormer twins swore vengence against Calhoun and Video Game High School after he rejected their application of enrollment to VGHS five years prior to Season 3, when they were twelve. Mrs. Barnstormer promised them that if they managed to get Napalm, their new company she recently bought for them, stock up to $400 a share she would buy VGHS for them. The Law got in the way of their revenge and their company's growth when he promoted rival energy drink company Jock Juice, causing Napalm sales to drop. This sparked Shane's long campaign to drive Jock Juice bankrupt by joining VGHS under an assumed name to frame The Law. Framing Law also played into Napalm's decision to make the company a high school with an FPS team - by removing the VGHS Varsity FPS team from the competition and eventually competing against their JV team and winning ultimately winning the FPS season, Napalm was able to boost their stock even further.

Shane is seen in this episode standing on-stage with the band SSD while hosting a breakfast for the student body. He gives the social gamers brand new equipment (an idea that was originally Ki's) while staring at Ki from across the cafeteria so she knows he's making fun of her, and is met with cheers when he tells the crowd almost aggressively that he cares about the school and the students because they are his family, and they are just his. Right after that he announced that the band Smash Mouth would be playing next. The next day Shane is seen in Calhoun's office discussing the contract Smash Mouth signed with him. Ashley walks into Calhoun's office a minute later and sits down next to Shane. Shane refers to Ashley as his brother, and Calhoun realizes that Shane was Shane Barnstormer all along. Shane and Ashley explain that their company's stock has finally risen high enough and they now own VGHS. Shane boasts about he and his brother's genius plan of taking down VGHS from the inside and takes a photo of Calhoun's expression on his phone, much to Ashley's amusement. Shane needles at Calhoun by telling him "You really should have taken that check." Following this conversation, Shane's face appears on the announcement screen in the school cafeteria where he tells the students to enjoy their breakfast because it will be their last, and laughs manically. The student rush outdoors at the sound of a great crash to see the VGHS school crest falling off the building. As the school crest falls off of the side of the school, Shane continues to laugh on the announcement screen. Afterwards, he and Ashely appear on the roof to unfurl a massive banner advertising that VGHS is the site of Napalm's future Mega-Mall. Shane screams "You cannot win!" and the brothers hi-five as they laugh smugly.

In Episode 6 (to be added)

Personality

He is arrogant and imperious in the series, harbouring various sociopathic and sadistic traits. He seems to act only for his own interests (which are ultimately revealed to be his twin brother's interests too). Given how he used to be bullied extensively, it's safe to assume that this added up to his current hunger for success and supremacy to counter his previous inferiority, similar to the Law's nature.

It is shown that Shane is so close to his twin brother that their body language is occasionally in tandem with one another.

The only person Shane considers to be his equal is his twin brother, Ashely Barnstormer III.

The only person Shane considers his superior is his mother, Mrs. Barnstormer.
