Tai (Silverstein)

Tai (Silverstein)

Tai was a portal born in Majital, so he doesn't quite know exactly where he's from or what his original origins were. All he really knows of his past is that he was born with the resistance to lightning as he was spawned from the portal surrounded by lightning. He doesn't know who his real parents are since he grew up in an orphanage until about the age of 10. After that he was adopted by his two parents who were never around too much.
Tai doesn't hate them for it, but he doesn't really know how to interact with them at all. He never knew what love was, or even what it was like to have friends or family. Distance grew between them after the years of little interact which was pretty much just eating together every once in a while. He was their adopted son living as their roommate. Since his parents weren't home too much he would spend his time exploring Majital as he was always curious, that's how he learned at least a little knowledge of magic.
At age 13, one day, he happened upon a sparring match between a fighter and a monk, and he was entranced with their battle. He was mesmerized by their strengths and fighting styles. After that sparring match, they helped some innocent civilians from a thief by incapacitating and capturing the thief. After that day he wanted to become strong, strong so he could protect people, and so that he himself could become more confident in himself.
Tai self trained for months before he was came across an old man who helped train him in the way of the monk, but also had knowledge of many weapons. It's what Tai had always hoped for, and that's what really solidified his dreams. Tai's dream was to become a weapon master, able to fight in any situation with any weapon, without backing down even if the only weapons he had left was his own body. The old man taught him how to defend himself, very basic manners, very basic lessons on social interactions, how to be patient and analyze a situation, how to have a strong will, and how to always wear a smile on your face in the most dire times.
Now at age 22, Tai finished as much training as he could with the old man, and the last advice he could impart was to travel, help people whenever you can without killing others unless it's really needed, and to learn more about life and people as he adventures. Tai still doesn't really understand social interactions too well, but he's always happy to talk to other and welcomes others to talk to him. He doesn't know about religion, history, magic, etc. much, but he's adventuring to learn. Perhaps, in his travels he will learn what it's like to have friends, family, and even not be oblivious anymore.
PS. He also has a couple weapons/items that he dreams about. Like a sword or weapon that change into any weapon when he wants it to change, and he wants to have a shield(s) that he can equip to his arm(s) so he can punch or use his weapons as he has his shields to deflect/block attacks (kind of like Captain America's Wakanda shield in Infinity War). His preferred way of fitting is up close with his body, swords, or even grappling. He will never kill unless he analyzes the situation in which he has to, or if his opponent is truly evil.
tldr: He's kind of like kid Goku, but older and probably a bit less naive/stubborn.

Education

Knows how to read and write, and learned an assortment of tools. Knows how to cook basic meals.

Employment

Lots of place. Cook, waiter, farmer, smith in training, wood craver, guard, host.

Intellectual Characteristics

Shares wisdom from his own thoughts and from listening to others. He's gained a lot of advice, and he knows how to at least think.

Morality & Philosophy

He will always look at the better outlook, and will try his best to pump up his allies if their morale is down. He tries his best to get a read on people since he doesn't have much experience in interaction. He believes in the good of all people he comes across, so he tries his best not to kill unless the battle calls for it or if the opponent is truly evil. He will tend to knock his enemies out and ask questions after.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Becoming stronger, so he can protect people and so that people can rely on him a bit. He doesn't want to be a burden to others at all.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Tai doesn't know about social interaction/social skills, or even about relationships (family, friends, romance). He's very oblivious when it comes to romance, and he doesn't know what it's like to have a close family or close friends but he appreciates everyone he meets and learns from.
He blunt at times, and he mean a lot of social interactions in their literal sense (like saying that person is going to miss you if you're gone. Literally going to miss you because you can't see them again, not having to do anything with romance).
Doesn't know much about knowledge in all aspects besides battle and planning. He learned how to analyze situations, but he doesn't know how much about religion, history, and he know how to detect magic at least.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes: Strength Animals Cooking Learning new things/seeing new things Being able to talk to people Weapons Friendly people
Dislikes: People being rude to others Bullies Giving Up Impractical armors/clothes (since he doesn't understand appeal. He doesn't understand the point of a bunny suit) People who lie, especially not being honest with themselves

Virtues & Personality perks

Strength, understanding, being able to learn from any experience good or bad.

Vices & Personality flaws

Not the brightest, overanalyzing a situation (sometimes it makes him slightly hesitate)

Hygiene

Likes to be clean, but doesn't mind being dirty.

Social

Contacts & Relations

He writes down all of the people he meets and stuff he learns about them to keep in contact, and so he doesn't forget them. He also writes important names.

Family Ties

Parents are alive, but doesn't know how to interact with them and not too keen on seeking them out. The last time he talked to them was to tell them he was going to be an adventurer.

Religious Views

Doesn't really know much about religion, but he doesn't mind either way.

Social Aptitude

Not the greatest

Mannerisms

Has a childlike excitement when people want to hear about the things he likes, a certain innocence to him whenever he gets to tell a story. (Kind of like an anime character whose eyes sparkle when they're really happy, but not really).

Hobbies & Pets

Hobbies: Exercise, traveling, attending events, and cooking.

Speech

Has a slightly raspier voice, usually quiet spoken but can speak louder when he needs to or if he's excited to talk about something.

Wealth & Financial state

Not wealthy

Clueless, inexperienced, strong, and innocent. Tai has no last name since he doesn't feel part of his family, and has a hidden power that outcast him. An old man helped him control it a little, and he promised to never kill unless they are pure evil.
