Mooo in three dimensions
PHYSIOLOGY
1. Sex/Gender- Male
2. Age- 22
3. Height/Weight- 6'1", 225 lbs
4. Color of Hair/Eyes/Skin- Black/Brown/Slightly Tanned
5. Posture- Straight
6. Appearance (Good-looking, over/underweight, clean, neat, pleasant, untidy; shape of face/head/limbs)- Mooo has what can be described in cliche terms as "boyish good looks."Â His rounded, friendly face is less like a model's and more like "that nice guy who lives down the way and will help you carry your groceries in while trying really hard not to make it look like he's glancing at your cleavage every now and then."
7. Defects (deformities, abnormalities, birthmarks, diseases)- None. He had chicken
pox as a kid, but that's about it.
8. Heredity (inherited traits from character's family)- Being of Mongolian descent, Mooo is BIG for an Asian guy. His long black hair and broad shoulders run in his family, even if his mother was only half his size.
SOCIOLOGY
1. Social Class (lower, middle, upper)- Lower-middle class. Mooo grew up living out in the country with his parents, and later just his mother. He was home-schooled and spent most of his time working around the house and training in Royal Guard, which both his parents had Master's Marks in, a Master's Mark being the highest station possible for a Royal Guard practitioner.
2. Occupation (Type of work, hours of work, income, condition of work, union or non-union, attitude towards organization, suitability for work)- Mooo has been working since he was fourteen years old, in odd jobs for quick cash and in actual employment positions since he was sixteen. Mooo's respectful attitude and friendly personality make him a very good worker on his own or in a team, making him a very desirable employee for most organizations.
3. Education (amount, kind of schools, marks, favorite subjects, poorest subjects, aptitudes)- Mooo only has his high-school diploma from home-schooling, but is well-read from a strong emphasis on literature that his mother placed in the home-school program. A fast reader and fast learner, Mooo places well in all academic subjects save music and drama--while he likes music and plays, Mooo is a poor performer and is not particularly good at playing instruments or singing.
4. Home Life (Parents living, earning power, orphan, parents separated or divorced, parents' habits, parents' mental development, parents' vices, neglect, character's marital status)- Growing up mostly in a single-parent environment, Mooo is used to having to deal with hardships. Mooo's father left, explaining his reasons for leaving to his wife (to keep Mooo and her safe from someone that was hunting Royal Guard practitioners) but asking her not to tell Mooo. Mooo grew up thinking of his father as abandoning them, and that feeling grew even stronger when Mooo's mother was brutally killed under mysterious circumstances at her place of work, a grocery store in a nearby town. Now on his own, Mooo was forced to have to grow up fast, and turned to mafia-run pit-fighting as an extra source of income, in addition to working two full-time jobs.
5. Race- Mooo is of Mongolian descent, with traces of Chinese, Russian, and Scottish ancestry.
6. Religion and/or Nationality- None to speak of. Mooo has never been religious in his life, but does not have any disrespect for religion itself.
7. Place in Community ('leader among friends', clubs, sports)- Mooo doesn't make himself known in his overall community, but among his friends he occasionally takes the lead, making himself usually their speaker, the one to suggest what to do and see what everyone else has to say.
8. Political affiliations.- If there's one thing Mooo has a distaste for, it's politics. It was never a subject that particularly interested him, nor is it one that he has any desire to learn more about.
9. Amusements/Hobbies (books, newspapers, magazines he/she reads, etc.)- Mooo is versed in American and European literature, and has also read some classic East Asian literature as well. He is also a big fan of nonfiction and (auto)biographical works. His favorite books are "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The 48 Laws of Power." Mooo's favorite hobby by far is watching action movies: his favorites by far are "Hard Target" and "Rocky IV."
10. Time Period/Era (social structure and how it pertains to your character)- Having been raised away from the city, one would think that Mooo would have a down-home, eccentric attitude, when in fact Mooo acts more like a city boy than one would expect. When necessary, he will step forward and speak out, but most times prefers to blend into the crowd and keep the attention off him.
PSYCHOLOGY
1. Moral Standards- Mooo has a very strong sense of respect, mainly given to him by his mother, and tends not to give people attitude. He's a nice guy, and it takes a lot to get him really riled up. Mooo has a strong aversion to the idea of killing, even in the heat of battle, but believes that some things honestly cannot be helped. While he himself will work his hardest to make sure his opponent lives, he is also not the type to chastise another for killing their opponent if the situation could not be reasonably avoided. Mooo's sense of respect extends to how he treats women--his eyes will wander, his mind may temporarily think a few things that he probably shouldn't, but in the end, Mooo treats most females like "one of the guys," and keeps his usual demeanor around them.
2. Personal Premise/Ambition- Like most fighter-type characters, Mooo has the simple ambition of getting stronger, of getting better at what he does. He's mainly driven by a need to show up his father, who Mooo holds animosity towards for leaving Mooo and his mother when Mooo was a child. Staying with Mal, one of his father's old friends and a famous (infamous?) fighter conditioner, Mooo hopes to improve his fighting skills to the point where he can look his father in the eye and tell him that he was able to get stronger, even with others there who could "hold him back." Mooo feels that he draws more strength from his friends and loved ones than on his own, and fights harder for their sake than he does for his own sake.
3. Frustrations- Being laid-back and rather easygoing, Mooo doesn't get frustrated or frazzled too easily. However, minor repeated upsets do have a tendency to rile Mooo up more than he should be, and at times he will say things that come off as rude or belligerent when he doesn't really mean to say them. In very difficult or stressful situations, Mooo tends to keep a cooler head than most, and tries his best to help others remain (or get) calm. In a heated fight, Mooo will oftentimes lose his cool and become very impatient, his technique becoming sloppy as he rushes to try and finish the match.
4. Temperament (choleric, easygoing, pessimistic, optimistic, etc.)- Very relaxed and comfortable, Mooo speaks to most people in the same casual, friendly tone that shows that he treats most everybody as an equal. Only when he's fighting does that change--Mooo in combat is by turns coldly efficient, fierce and unrelenting, and frustrated and sloppy. Mooo is a model of customer service at the Diner, though, and receives great tips for his friendly and never-fake service.
5. Attitude toward Life (resigned, militant, defeatist, etc.)- "NO REAL GOALS." That describes Mooo's attitude toward life quite easily. Yes, he wants to find out who killed his mother years ago, why they killed his mother, and he wants to punch his father in the mouth for not being there, but Mooo realizes that despite the hardships he's had, he's still alive and his mother would rise from her grave and beat the living shit out of him if he thought that he could use his past as an excuse to become an angry, vengeance-driven shadow of his normal self. Mooo feels he has a lot to live for--he has friends he cares about (and who in turn care about him) and he just wants to see where his life takes him.
6. Complexes (obesessions, inhibitions, superstitions, phobias, etc.)- Despite his acceptance of his situation, Mooo still feels a heavy guilt over not being there when his mother was killed, even though he knows that if he were there, he probably would have been killed as well. The duality of that issue still picks at Mooo every now and then, which is why he's sensitive to jokes about his parents (i.e. "YOUR MOM") that normally wouldn't bother a person as laid-back as he is.
7. Extrovert? Introvert? Ambivert?- Mooo is an ambivert--while he can appear extroverted and friendly, at times Mooo will keep his mouth shut, hang back, and let events unfold before deciding to step forward--if he does at all.
8. Abilities (languages, talents)- Mooo does not speak any extra languages besides English--he knows scant bits of Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Farsi, Tagalog, Ilocano, Thai, and Vietnamese, but not nearly enough to even order a meal in most of those languages. Mooo is an extremely gifted hand-to-hand fighter, a practitioner of the esoteric martial system Royal Guard, where he specializes in the use of punches. While he specializes in punches, his training is still very well-rounded, and he is capable of using intelligently-placed kicks and grapples that are mixed in with his punches. Approached several years ago by mysterious beings calling themselves "The Gods of 0wnage" (Mooo's naive enough to take a name that stupid at face-value), Mooo has been granted a unique gift: 100% of the potential of his body has been unleashed, granting him strength, durability, and reflexes well beyond normal human limits.
9. Qualities (imagination, judgement, taste, poise)- Mooo's imagination is nothing to write home about--his greatest fear is a gorilla with boxing gloves on. However, he is possessed of a clever and quick mind, mainly due to his training. His judgment is extremely developed, as a hand-to-hand fight is nothing more to him than a series of decisions that need to be made second-by-second as intelligently as possible. However, when he makes a mistake, he tends to pay big for it, as it's often a good choice with bad timing borne of overconfidence, and less of actually making the wrong decision. Mooo's tastes are simple and efficient--he dresses up for certain events in a button-up shirt and khaki slacks with dress shoes, but is often seen simply wearing a plain white t-shirt and the pants he made himself. Mooo carries himself tall and proud, back straight and chest pushed out, even if his expression is often more meek than his posture.
10. IQ- Mooo only took a formal IQ test as a child, but that rated him at 140--the chances of it fluctuating are reasonably high. Mooo is not a genius by any stretch of the imagination, but is a quick thinker capable of piecing together a situation and analyzing it with well-calculated logic. Mooo doesn't have a very good long-term memory, and may at times forget people he hasn't seen for more than a few years.
11. Time Period/Era (periodic ways of thinking, and how it applies to your character) - Mooo is modern. He likes his action movies, he likes his video games, he loves the microwave (even if Mal is weaning him away from it). However, he holds to traditional values--respect your elders, respect everybody unless they disrespect you--and if they disrespect you, put up with it unless they're trying to kill you.
