Past + Personality
It's quite a long one...
He grew up in the slums with two abusive parents, who always neglected and beat on him, taking their frustrations out on the poor boy who had no guidance in his life. It wasn't until a fatal car crash that Tae was finally free of his parents. They had been driving under the influence, meanwhile, Tae was locked away in a closet as 'punishment'...needless to say, the situation disturbed him greatly and he was left broken and confused. He didn't find any semblance of hope in his life until he stumbled upon those great heroes in the old action-adventure cartoons, anime, and 'Super Sentai' shows that he saw growing up in different foster homes from time to time...seeing those protagonists and their strength, their courage, their determination...it lit a small spark in him that slowly began to fester and grow.
He started talking more, standing up for himself, getting better grades...although he was painfully average when it came to intellect...and overall becoming a more open person in his life. He started making friends and getting involved in social clubs based around those shows that gave him hope while he grew up. After a while, he remained in a large foster home, ending up as one of the oldest kids in the household and watching over the younger ones. This was around the time when high schools were pushing their students to decide 'what they wanted to be when they grew up'...Tae-Hyun knew that deep down, he wanted to do this...he wanted to inspire others and look after those with no hope in their lives. He wanted to be a hero just like the ones in all of those shows when he was a kid, and save others like him from despair.
After finishing high school, he went to work for the same foster home as a part-time job, helping manage and run errands while also looking for other jobs, eventually building up the performance record to end up as a P.E. teacher for a orphanage center for all the energetic little kids. He was considered a bright beacon of hope, a flame that illuminated the dark, all the kids valued and appreciated his encouraging words and they could always depend on him to protect and cheer them on.
Then along came pro-wrestling...Tae-Hyun saw it one night and was instantly hooked. He looked more and more into it and being a fit guy himself, he figured he'd give it a shot...he had an extended vacation as the winter rolled in, and a new P.E. teacher came in to do the winter sports for the season and so he had all the time to get into this newfound fiery passion of his...
As a wrestler, he had absolutely ZERO talent whatsoever. He was constantly beaten and defeated by anyone he faced, men and women alike...he got some wins here and there but it was nothing like the talent you see on TV...There are always naturally born geniuses or those with insane amounts of talent but he is not one of those people, he is not special. What he did have...was the dedication and that small spark from early on in his life...that dedication led to rigorous training and the resulting hard work has led to a series of explosive growth to put him on par and even above "natural born geniuses"...His hard work and fierce spirit grew him into a fine wrestler, paired with an unwavering spirit to push past what he faces. Knock him down and he'll get right back up, summoning up the courage to take on anyone in a raging match that's sure to keep one's heart pumping with excitement...fighting him can invoke some kind of...change...in a person, fighting him is not just a bizarre reality given his lack of talent but still being able to keep pace, but he's also just fun to fight...he brings out the best in people and he wants them to show their best efforts, everything they've accumulated and trained for, he wants to bring that inner fire out in everyone. Like a true hero, his fiery spirit lights and emboldens those around him.
Eventually, he found his footing and became a shining star, a beacon of light and hope. A pillar of what hard work and determination can get you in life...and when he returned back to the orphanage, he was showered with praise from all the children who ended up finding his matches on the television, the other adults letting them stay up late and watch and cheer on Tae-Hyun...tears were shed but the hero never wavered, striking a signature pose for all his fans and inspiring them with a mighty battle cry. Now, he manages his day job and wrestles here and there, further boosted by the support of all those kids who were just like him...who looked up to him, making his fire blaze even brighter than before...
Down the line, he had a confrontation with a gang enforcer while on a trip to Seoul. This enforcer, Chanyeol Kim, would soon become Tae-Hyun's best friend. After some time helping him clean up his act, the two became almost like brothers in a sense and were practically inseparable because of it. Further down the line, Tae-Hyun convinced Chanyeol to join him as a wrestler and after around two years of working together, the two were approached by LAW and quickly offered a deal to work as both a tag team and individual wrestlers. They both took the opportunity while it was fresh on the table and now, they were going to show the world the combined might of the Cold Moon of Seoul and the Firestarter of Busan.

WRESTLING INFO
Strategy: Tae-Hyun pictures himself as a hero, it gets him motivated and eager to fight. What good is a hero without a flashy set of sweet moves in order to wow the audience with an amazing display of justice and power? In the heat of the match, Tae-Hyun can be seen getting stronger and more invigorated the longer a fight goes on. The cheers from the crowd, the intense drum-like beat of his heart, and the fighting spirit of his opponent all motivate and inspire him to push onward and keep fighting. Via strikes, grapples, power moves, and other such hard-hitting moves, he's well-versed in dishing out a lot of heavy damage. He's also a very kindhearted person, letting opponents take their time and recover and even checking up on them at the drop of a dime...while some may see it as naive, it's just how he is. He's a "hero", after all...
Preferred Attacks: Slams, Grapples, Strikes, Running Moves, and Springboard Moves.
Preferred Matches: Standard, Tag Team, Hardcore, TLC, Tables, Knockout, Submission, Falls Count Anywhere, Street Fight, No DQ.
Attitude towards Hentai: (No, never. He has a girlfriend and I don't see a guy like him EVER doing anything lewd.)
------------------
General Stats
-Endurance: 5/5 - Well-built and hard to put down. Tae always rises to the challenge and often seems like he gets motivated by how intense a fight can get.
-Strength: 5/5 - Superb levels of strength, along with his charismatic nature and insane durability, this 'hero' is about as strong as they come for his size.
-Speed: 3/5 - He's fast on his feet but only enough to keep up with most people. He's built more for long-lasting fights rather than quick ones.
-Defense: 4/5 - Like a reinforced steel barrier, not only is he durable but Tae-Hyun is also capable of defending himself quite thoroughly.
-Technique: 3/5 - Once a pathetic wrestler, his drive and burning passion has led his development as a wrestler to skyrocket dramatically.
Wrestling Stats
-Strikes: 4/5 - Strikes are his second-best forte, with his level of strength and prowess, even a half-assed blow to the right spot will daze an enemy.
-Submissions: 2/5 - While not the best at submissions, power-based locks and holds can be amplified to hurt much more thanks to his strength.
-Power Moves: 5/5 - Power moves such as slams, drivers, dunks, and other moves of the like are what Tae-Hyun excels the most at.
-Aerial Moves: 3/5 - Can perform some solid aerial moves but requires some much needed momentum and prep-time to pull them off given.
-Counters: 3/5 - Pretty skilled at finding a second wind or counterattacking in order to turn things around and pick up momentum.
