The defining point of Tae-Hyun must be his hair. Born with brown hair, but opting to have a green streak dyed in, it turns head and snaps neck wherever it goes. Long but still managing to retain a spiky quality thanks to some perming, one can identify Tae from a distance solely by looking at his hair. The hair compliments a nicely sculpted face: a little feminine but clearly male. Hidden under his mass of hair are his ears, which are a little pointy, and pierced. On his left ear is a piercing on his earlobe and one in the cartilage. On his right ear is one on his earlobe. The head is propped nicely on a smooth neck around which a cross is hung.
Tae-Hyun appears skinny at a glance, but it is actually a somewhat carefully sculpted object. Wanting to attain strength, speed, and constitution without gaining muscle mass, Tae-Hyun put himself through tough training in the streets of Seoul, namely with Parkour, and a scrap here and there. The result is tightly packed and chiseled muscle on a skinny frame, weighing no more than a hundred forty five pounds, and standing at five eleven.
Tae-Hyun is not above wearing jewelery. In Korea, he would purposely wear expensive-looking jewelery to paint a target on himself, in an attempt to start fights. It's a stupid idea, but it was for training, and it worked. On his left wrist, he wears a Rolex replica, and a silver ring on the middle finger of his right hand.[/size][/ul]

As you may have deduced, Tae-Hyun is also stubborn. Once he has his mind set on something, he will chase it down and do it. This also applies if there is serious danger involved. Has he made his mind up to rob a bank? Okay, he will do it (although this is unlikely to happen - I'm just giving an example).
To close it up, Tae follows two rules when interacting with others:
- Treat others the way you want to be treated.
- If you want to treat others like shit, you should have the power to back it up.

Fourteen years later:
"Mr. Kim, we'd like to discuss some....things regarding your grandson, Tae-Hyun." A man, quickly turning old sat down in a chair before the headmaster of a certain High School in Seoul.
"I'm listening."
With a sigh, the headmaster pulled a stack of papers over from his desk and began reading them off. "September first. Dispute with a classmate ends with the student on the floor. Tae-Hyun is suspended." Next page. "December second. Tae-Hyun is not showing up to class. He hasn't been in class for a month. However, we are puzzled by his performance on tests. We suspect cheating." Next page. "February fourteenth. According to his class, Tae-Hyun harasses a girl after being rejected. Several students are involved, all of them beaten down."
The process continued for hours. Finally came the last one. "...June sixteenth. After his exams, Tae-Hyun brutally assaults a teacher on standby in the hallway. The conflict is broken up, but the teacher is still visibly shaken." The headmaster set the papers down and looked over at Mr. Kim.
"What do you have to say about this?"
"Nothing."
There was a brief moment of silence. "You're going to talk to him."
"I am."
"Good. Your conversation with him tonight will include the fact that he is no longer welcome in our school."
"Have a nice day, headmaster."
Later that day:[/i]
"Pack your bags, Tae. We're leaving."[/size][/ul]
C O M B A T
Tae uses no real style, meaning he's a street fighter. He prefers not using flashy moves, preferring to stick with the basics. Flashy moves simply look nice, but leave too many openings - it's not worth it. Tae loves grappling, since it gives him a sense of satisfaction to kind of "suck the life" out of his opponent. Plus, he likes things up close and personal.
Strengths[/i][/color]
Tae is all around fit. Although he could be stronger, he chooses not to be, since it means more muscle mass and less speed. His main advantages are his judgment ability, agility, and constitution. In fact, Tae is inhumanly tough, able to take many blows before falling. But like every other human being, Tae is subject to the effects of pain.
Weaknesses[/i][/color]
Tae does not like making the first move. His style; capitalizing on the enemy's mistakes almost requires the opponent to move first. However, his arrogance can sometimes blind him, and force his hand. Tae isn't that skilled in actual combat either. He's been in his fair share of fights, but not that much to merit an insane amount of experience. As stated above, he is also not insanely strong.[/size][/ul]
