Name: Chen Hyodo
Age: 17
Element: Ice(?)
Personality: Chen is a really friendly person, focusing on other people instead of himself. He's a good listener and is always willing to try and help people out with their problems. Chen tries to stay calm at all times, otherwise his powers tend to go out of control. The one thing that always makes him angry is when you mention his height, he's pretty short at 5'3 and he knows it. Otherwise he just wants to get along with people.
In terms of his goals, he enjoys improving upon himself and being the best at what he does. He's pretty smart but he sometimes overestimates his intelligence which can sometimes be to his disadvantage.
Appearance: Note that his hair is actually white after an incident on his 7th birthday. He is also 5'3 and is a pretty skinny guy overall.
History: Chen was born in Hakuba, Japan on a snowy night in December. His parents considered him to be a early Christmas gift and his first 6 years of his life were wonderful. He would love to play in the snow and even learned to ice skate at the age of 5. Things changed on his 7th birthday though. He got into a fight with a friend at school, things escalating enough that Chen freaked out. His elemental powers awakened and his parents had to be called in to make sure he didn't hurt anyone. By the end of the day, everyone made it out of the school safely, but the school itself was permanently covered in a thick layer of ice.
His parents had the same powers as him, but his were more powerful then theirs had ever been. They didn't know what to do with him, until Chen's father mentioned the school he went to as a teen. It was quickly decided that he would be sent there to learn, under the care of a teacher who worked at the Academy. That teacher's name was Kano Hargor, who had offered to keep an eye on Chen after seeing the results of his untapped potential.
It was a strange arrangement, Chen was given an apartment near the school where he basically raised himself with small adjustments from Kano every now and then. Sometimes it was instructions on how to operate a stove, others it was just a broom and dustpan being where the tv usually was. Most of the time though it was just some schoolwork that Kano assumed was appropriate for someone his age. His parents would visit once a year, bringing him presents and having a family outing in a nearby village. Every time he visited they would make sure to impress upon him the value of being a kind individual no matter what. After ten years of this he enrolled in the Elemental Academy at the age of 17.
Equipment: Ice Skates, Thick Blue Gloves, Snow Goggles (kept around his neck), and a staff that he made to direct ice more easily. Keeps it in a leather holster on his back.
