Fighting Style:

Taehwa fights by using his EM sabers like twin blades, employing a great variety of acrobatics and gymnastics, as well as the twirling of his weapons in an artfully accurate manner. He is light on his feet, and his attacks are well-calculated and precise. His style appears to be like a dance, with smooth, fluid movements and a graceful elegance in his stance. He never continues a fight more than he has to and prefers not to fight if he can.

Likes: Sleeping, city sounds, the smell of ocean air, taking walks at night
Dislikes: Getting too wet, being unoccupied, fighting
Phobias:
― None as of yet

Hobbies: Reading, sparring, watching the rain
Quote:
― ”I don’t like fighting very much. I suppose I can’t always do what I like.”
(when about to fight someone)


Important Possessions/Favourite Items:
― None at the moment

Miscellaneous:
― His most assumed form is that of himself, with white blond hair, and a pale pallor. His shapeshifting abilities would be near perfect, if it were not for his eyes. They’re quite unusual; in a state of his most calm, being quite dark, almost black, but they frequently flash and flicker bright orange (like the sun).

Background/History←

Little is known about Taehwa’s history, not even by himself. His first concrete memory is of waking up, and hearing the voice of a young woman hovering above him (judging by her voice and how far it was), before she ran out of the room to shout about that he was awake. That was when he had noticed the bandages over his eyes. It was to keep his unstable psyche from causing his form to shapeshift at every person/animal he saw.

He was at least 17 years old at the time.

The place he was at, he soon found out, was Ayumi Hamasaki’s manor. He was one of her gang, he was told. He had been a young bodyguard for the gang, he was also told, as he sat, trying to control this flood of information. Trying to remember, he could not.

Reading his records and other profiling on himself, he found out that his parents had either died or abandoned him when he was young, he had been raised in an orphanage until he ran away at the age of 10 years, and somehow he had been found by a member of Jung Yunho’s gang and assimilated into Ayumi’s gang when he was about 12 years old. He went into a coma when he was around 16.

The only thing that disconcerted him was that the cause of his amnesia was not on any records of any sorts. When he asked, no one seemed to know. All they knew was that they had found him barely alive and alone in an abandoned and less trekked part of the city. He had been unconscious and murmuring incoherent words in his semi-alive state before he slipped completely into a silent coma.

Despite his seemingly complete loss of memory, he surprisingly picked up most things that he had learned before whatever had caused his memory blank to occur. His EM sabers did not feel alien in his hands, and he was able to relearn how to wield them with little trouble, although he was told his style was a lot more quiet and less reckless now. From that, he could assume he used to be quite a boisterous person.

As another result of his memory loss, he was an eager learner, greedily eating at whatever information he could get his hands on. He learned basic formal learning rather quickly, along with other extra things. But he could not help but feel a great void in him; all of these people he had known were suddenly complete and total strangers to him. It only made him draw further into himself.

Nevertheless, he continued ambling on, groping forward like a blind boy. Over the years, he has tried to regain his memory but the black void in his mind seems to be stubborn, and refuses to budge an inch. With that, he has come to terms that he may never regain his lost memories, and continuously tries to make up for this loss. His body hasn’t forgotten everything though, and his powers remain wholly intact, if not even more potent for all the time he has spent meditating and training them to near perfection.

More to be added as necessary.

Personality←

→ AT FIRST GLANCE
Cold first impressions; he admittedly does not give very warm first impressions, due to his withdrawn demeanor
Calculating; he has a sharp eye for detail and has a critical mindset, further enhancing the impression that he is rather standoffish, when he really is not
Loyal; he would never betray a precious person, even if it meant dying twice over


→ TAKE A BETTER LOOK
Warm-hearted; despite appearing rather cold, he’s actually caring, in his own quiet ways
An observer; he prefers to stand back, listen, and observe, rather than adding his own input
Serene; his appearance is pretty much composed, and he always has a serene expression
Quiet; he doesn’t talk a lot, being somewhat of a recluse, but when he does lend words, they’re usually important, or at the least, comforting
Merciless in battle; another side of himself is present when he fights, and it is quite coldhearted
Antisocial; because of his silent, distanced persona, he sometimes finds it hard to interact with people
