[Color=#77dd77][b]Personality:[/b][/Color]
[INDENT]Tempest’s manner of dealing with people is self-assured and charming, and he is said to be the "Princely" type. He uses his wiles to entertain while simultaneously focusing on the task at hand. Because he often appears bruised and injured, and his eyes and raspy voice make others perceive him as weird or even scary, Tempest has basically forced his personality to reflect that of royalty, hoping that the people around would be less cautious around him. He often realizes things the others are too naive to understand, keeping the information to himself for his own amusement or to watch things play out in order to determine how best to help the others. Tempest is calm and logical. Because of his time spent at home and away from many people, he also can come across as rather detached. And while Tempest has purposely created this princely embodiment, deep down, he's extremely self conscious of how he looks and what other think of him.
Coupled with his "princely" attitude, he is very polite to people who are in power or related to it, and only helps people who can benefit him in some way. He has a habit of being skeptical in situations that won't benefit him or his friends. He tends to be quite serious, but he is tolerant of his friends eccentric personalities. He is not afraid to speak his mind...except for when his throat hurts, in which he physically can't speak his mind.[/INDENT]

[INDENT]Temperance was born in Seoul, South Korea. Judging by his name, his parents were expecting a girl, but even after his birth they stuck with it. Like many other children, Tempest's quirk came into fruition when he was four; he had gotten into a fist fight with another child. Unaware that the other's attacks were ultimately making him stronger, Tempest sent the the kid to the hospital with one punch. His parents believed that their son had super strength at first, but everything became clear within the first few months of having his quirk; that he was absorbing energy and redirecting it into his muscles.

Moving to America due to a job opportunity and growing up as an only child, Tempest spent a lot of time in his father's weapon shop; due to the lack of customers, it was usually just the two of them in there. When it was just them, Tempest's father made it an active routine to introduce every weapon he had up for sale to his son so that one day he could take over the shop. Of course, Tempest was excited to do anything with his father, but he was only six at the time, so while the images of the weapons remained in his mind, the information about them didn't. Fortunately, going around the shop multiple times a day with his dad made the information stick, although it was mostly basic; what the weapons were good for doing. 

(There was an accident in the shop where one of the old racks holding a set of various tools gave in, toppled over and fell right on top of Tempest while he was doing his hourly walk around the shop. The rack completely trampled him, with his throat taking the most damage due to the placement of the shelves. His father attempted to free him, but because Temperance was clearly panicking, his quirk made it impossible to get near without taking any unintentional blows. Fortunately, the paramedics arrived and got him to the hospital, where they were able to take care of his wounds and determine that Temperance would have a permanent ruptured throat, limiting his speech capabilities to a raspy, uneven voice. Despite this traumatic moment that's permanently scarred him for the rest of his life, Tempest was more than ready to get back into the shop and further his education on weapons.)

As the shop started growing popular with heroes and partnerships with hero schools, Tempest's father became increasingly busy, leaving said boy on his own to learn. He read about the weapons, how they were made, where they originated from, and their usage, watched videos of people or heroes using such weapons (of course, he was too young to wield any at the time, and the whole thing with the rack from earlier), and even started to broaden his horizons to other information that would prove useful. And so, for the years that he wasn't aloud to wield any of the weapons in his father's shop, Tempest learned everything he could about them, and everything else; he spent almost every wake moment trying to stuff more information into his brain.

By the time he was around ten, Tempest's father gave him permission to touch the safe weapons in the upper level of the shop. Although the safe weapons were made of plastic or had rubber covering the sharp parts, Tempest was about to try his skills. Fortunately, all of his work paid off as every safe weapon he held, he had some idea of how to use. And now that he was able to see what the weapons felt like, he started spending all of his time in there; even bringing a blanket, some snacks, and a few books to read if he didn't understand something.

Tempest took increasingly interest in the bo, or staff. It was a weapon that most people overlooked for its sharper counterparts. And with enough begging, Tempest got his father to come up when his shop wasn't busy and show him how to wield it. That coupled with professional videos online made him a force to be reckoned.

Once he had turned twelve, Tempest was invited to join the Apprentice Program by the Heroes, to become one of them. Of course, Tempest was nervous at first, as he'd planned out the rest of his life to be inside the shop and selling weapons. Plus there was the fear of meeting other people his age who would probably pick on him for his appearance like in school. But it was ultimately his father who told him that this would be for the best and convinced him on how much of a great hero he could be if he went. With his father backing him up, Tempest knew he couldn't back down and decided to face his fears and become a hero.[/INDENT]
[Color=#77dd77][b]Quirk:[/b][/Color] Power Up
[INDENT]Tempest's is able to absorb and utilize energy from physical and blunt force attacks. The energy, once absorbed momentarily, would be used by his muscles to temporarily increase his physical strength immensely. Limits would include the inability to nullify attacks since he only absorbs energy. Tempest also has a limit to how much energy he can absorb. Absorbing too much puts him at risk of destroying himself from the inside out while redirecting too much energy to his muscles could lead to the rest of Tempest becoming physically drained and paralyzed. When using too much energy, Tempest experiences a state of hyperactivity, but if he doesn't take a break, he'll eventually feel physically drained, to the point that he can't move his body anymore.[/INDENT]
