21 / South Korea / Tae Kwon Do / Real Name: Baek Seung Hwa / Face Claim: Park Jimin (BTS)
Personality: Hwoarang tends to be rather hot headed, impulsive and loves to fight. He has a great adoration and respect for his master/adoptive father Baek Doo-San. The Blood Talon can hold a grudge towards those he deems as enemies. He enjoys rivalry! He's determined, strong willed, misunderstood but has his heart in the right place.
Appearance: Stands about 5'11", toned, lithe and slender. Hair used to be dyed orange but now is black with orange streaks. Sporting shorter length hair occasionally wearing it slicked back or held back by his signature goggles/head band. His fashion has refined just a tad bit opting for a more casual/laid back attire. Ripped jeans, boots/sneakers, shirt and a leather jacket are standard fare.
Background: Birth Name Seung-Hwa, Hwoarang lost his parents at a young age and was forced to look after himself. He fell into a life of petty crime just to make sure he had food in his belly until one day the young boy met his match. A Tae Kwon Do master caught him stealing food from a convenience store. Grabbing the young boy by the arm, the kind master bought the food and made a deal with the youth.
"I'll train you and take you in if you stop what you're doing."
With that Baek Doo-San adopted the wayward boy - his name now Baek Seung-Hwa. But... old habits die hard. As a young adult, Seung-Hwa once again turned to crime deciding to become part of a crew that would start fights for money. Going by the aliases of Hwoarang or The Blood Talon while running on the streets. This greatly disappointed Baek and he had told Seung-Hwa many times exactly how he felt about it.
One day the Mishima Zaibatsu came to town and ran across Hwoarang and his team. They placed bets and began their usual routine, concealing their strength to have the odds in their favor. But The Blood Talon met his match in the form of Jin Kazama - who he fought to a draw. His ego bruised slightly Hwoarang vowed to fight the youth again!
Sometime later, Seung-Hwa returned to his master's dojang to grave news, Baek Doo-San had been attacked by the God of Fighting. Hardening his resolve - Hwoarang swore to avenge his master. He prepared himself and entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3.
After the KOIF 3, Hwoarang began his mandatory two year enlistment in the South Korean Army. He quickly grew bored with base life and went AWOL seeking to enter then KOIF 4 and have his rematch with Jin Kazama. His chance to rematch his rival was just within his reach but the South Korean Army had other plans and took him into custody before it could get underway in the final round of the tournament.
Hwoarang spent several months in a military jail before being discharged after receiving a letter and the news that his master was alive and well. He was free to pursue Jin Kazama and their rematch - the end result; defeat. After his encounter with Devil Jin, Hwoarang was hospitalized and upon waking begged his Master and adoptive father Baek to train him so he could become strong enough to defeat Jin.
