[b]Character backround history[/b]: [hider=Other stuff] On the surface, Lao comes off as a rather silly and lighthearted person, frequently engaging in comical behavior and retaining his oft-present grin even while making threats. He displays a childlike amusement for new situations whether or not they prove adverse or even potentially fatal, has a penchant for wandering off on his own only to collapse in the middle of a street. Even with all these idiosyncrasies, he is extremely personable and his particularly complimentary nature easily gains him the friendship and trust of those surrounding him. Of course, these aspects belie the complex and determined young man underneath. On the reverse side of his frivolous nature is his considerable shrewdness, which makes him quite capable of reading people and situations. He is particularly observant, taking into consideration even the smallest details of his surroundings in order to better understand and deal with challenges and is not above using cheap tricks or questionable tactics to ensure his own survival. Being singularly ambitious, Lao also has a remarkably tenacious will that allows him to overcome virtually insurmountable obstacles and accept inhuman burdens for the sake of his ultimate goal. He has considerable pride that will not stand for having his humanity insulted or condemned by his enemies, but he is also capable of shelving his pride if it becomes something that will stand in the way of his objective. Lao is very protective of his family and comrades, refusing to allow any harm to come to them and often deeming their safety more important than his own in spite of his own personal ambitions and goals. He has to be reminded several times that his own safety is something upon which many people depend and uses his loved ones as his primary motivation when all hope seems lost. As such, he becomes furious when observing those who willingly or remorselessly cast aside their own comrades or brethren and is sickened by the idea of superiors who reject their duty to those who trust them.[/hider] Lao was not born into the most noble of families. In fact, he was not born into a noble family. He was born into a smiting family, there money was modest, but nothing amazing. He loved working with metal, hour would watch his mother work, forming the metal into beautiful things. His mother and father were not born with an affinity, but Lao was. His parents saw this as an opportunity for him to become someone, so they sent him to the Li Lian Military Academy. He was thought many things and ended up graduating third in his class. It was not even a year after that he was sent to OAK, in all truth, he did not want to hunt beasts He would much rather tinkered than become a knight. But as he grew to learn of all the injustices in the world, the useless killing of all being in either world, he found a reason to become one. [b]By my knighthood I swear[/b]: I SWEAR, ON DA SWORD OF KNIGHT HOOD AND WHATNOT!![/center]
