Character Name: Yuri Leclerc Series: Fire Emblem 3 Houses Timeline: Azure Moon: During the assault on Fort Merceus. Canon Resource Links:Here!
Personality:
Guarded -"I only play my hand when it's a secured victory. That's why I'm here."
Yuri is an extremely skilled tactician and is always a few steps ahead of his opponents, or he tries to be. To him everything is like a game of chess and because of this he doesn't give much of his own feelings away and hides some of his darker thoughts. Because of his slightly ruthless behavior he will betray allies temporarily or execute a plan alone if it means keeping those he cares about safe. It's easier for him to do this by putting a front up and not letting many get close. He has many secrets as well such as his true name which he hasn't told anyone yet.
Cheeky/Flirtatious -"Charming, aren't I? I'm certainly not above using that charm to get what I want." Yuri is very flirty and sly. He isn't opposed to using his looks to manipulate others into giving him something he wants or needs especially if it will help him protect people he cares about. While he will flirt with most anyone it's hard to tell if he's being honest in his desires.
Deeply Caring -"If you ever need someone to help you out, I’m your guy. I’ll make your problems vanish into thin air." He obviously has very firm beliefs and wants to do well by people he deems important. Abyss is the first place he's ever truly cared for and will do anything for it's protection. He will side with anyone who can help him protect his people and those he cares about and will not think twice about deserting if it puts his loved ones in harms way. His caring attitude stems from when he was younger and was saved from a life threatening plague by a kind old man. It was from that moment that Yuri decided he would make it his life mission to anyone he could. One of his prized possessions is a notebook in which is listed every name of someone he couldn't save as a way to have their memory live on.
Do Whatever It Takes -"Don't sit back and do nothing. You'll just end up dying needlessly. That's how it goes in my world, anyway." Yuri isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to attain his goals. he can be quite frightening when he wants to be, as his reputation as the Savage Mockingbird was established from swindling, participating in illicit markets and manipulating others for a living in order to help the less fortunate by putting on a charming nature in order to manipulate the more privileged into giving him what he wants, with few daring to cross him.

Character Name: Harry James Potter Series: Harry Potter Timeline: After repairing his old wand at the end of Deathly Hallows Canon Resource Links:HP Wiki Entry, HP on Wikipedia, Harry on Wikipedia
Personality: Harry’s quite complicated to pinpoint into one thing: in fact, he has so many layers to look into. For one, his strongest aspect is being able to love, it is this very thing that is pivotal to beat Voldemort in his ‘take over the Wizarding World’ plan, for the latter never knew what love really is. It doesn’t even help that he wasn’t given any loving care from his aunt and uncle in his childhood though, but whenever he bonds with someone, he’ll take his relations with that person seriously, whether with friends or family. He’ll risk his own life just to make sure that the people he love stay safe, however the whole ‘people saving’ thing, as Hermione called it, often confuses him in whether if someone is in danger or not. Lily’s kindness has been passed down onto him, he’s more than kind enough to help those who need help. He seriously values friendship and family more than anything as he does come from a really rocky childhood among abusive relatives: Being the ‘Boy Who Lived’ has taken a toll on his life, and he sometimes feels super lonely, due to the childhood misery he got early on. He does like being around people, but he’s more of a close-ties person rather a full-on extrovert most Gryffindors are most likely to be. He’s really a nice friendly guy, unless you push him too far, then he’ll be cranky and snarky as hell. He can be quite arrogant, stubborn, and act like a jerk at times without noticing it, which is a trait passed on from his dad James, which almost broke his friendship with Ron during the Horcrux Hunt.
In a glance, he seems to be your average Gryffindor: brave, loyal, courageous, jumps into fights even if he doesn’t know how they’ll end but he has to do something! Also worth noting in his Gryffindor stats, he can be reckless at times (such as snooping on Draco Malfoy in his Sixth Year), yet he’s willing to reason out usually depending on who he’s talking to (mostly *cough, cough*Hermione*cough, cough*). He can make friends easily, as he was able to make close ties with Ron at the Hogwarts Express in their First Year and with Hermione after he and Ron saved her from being attacked by a troll. He’s fiercely protective and loyal of his friends, to make the story short. This fellow also has a clear sense of right and wrong whenever he comes across bad people or events, trying to understand the situation. He can stand up for himself, and whatever he knows is right, even people of high authority aren’t immune to his wrath, it could rub off on people in the wrong way if he isn’t being careful with what he says. He was able to shrug off being possessed by Voldemort and the Imperious Curse as a teen, and can hold his ground even at the face of ruthless school adversary, such as with the rumors of him being Slytherin's Heir in Second Year, he managed to confront the people spewing them, in spite of the trouble these gave him.
Yet, there’s more to him to being a just regular ole’ Gryffindor. He was this close to be sent to Slytherin in his first year for various reasons: first off, he can be sneaky and clever as he can be if he wants to be. He can handle puzzles pretty decently, although he’s not as scary-smart as Hermione or has the same Wizard Chess skills as with Ron. Harry’s also pretty determined in achieving his goals (short-term and long-term alike), which is another trait associated with the Slytherin house. If he has something certain on his mind, he’ll go straight for it, no stops on end! Not to mention being so stubborn and focused on the goal. He doesn’t even mind breaking some rules to just to get the job done, which happens to him a LOT, although he does certainly knows when to back out which is, again, another Slytherin thing.
Harry has also shown resourcefulness, thinks on his feet, and makes use of the items & environment around him to get to his goals, which is also another Slytherin trademark. While he doesn’t admit it publicly, he’s quite an ambitious guy, with the main one being stopping Voldemort from screwing up the Wizarding World until he’s dead. This is also highlighted with the fact that he tends to make himself so unassuming that he never brags so much on his abilities publicly. And oh, they said Slytherins make good leaders, right? Oh, that screams Harry too, even though he wasn’t planning on being one anyway, he does a surprisingly good job at it, as he led Dumbledore’s Army in his Fifth Year and the Gryffindor Quidditch Team in his Sixth Year.
He doesn’t take keeping secrets to remain secrets too well, essentially acting as an information sponge that everyone has to spill the beans to, although he has to learn that not every secret should be spilled out and that truth may not be open to everyone. However, him withholding secrets from others doesn’t mean he hates or doesn’t trust someone, he only does it because he thinks that this is the only way to keep them safe from harm. He can be reckless in action and thought, is stubborn as a mule, and a hot-headed & moody creature. After all, teenagers are moody creatures, although he has other problems no other teen should go through, such as people trying to kill him, so you can’t hardly blame him for acting strangely whenever something bad happens. He has suffered depression and PTSD due to the scary combination of a terrible childhood spent with the Dursleys and having to deal with the complications that come with being the ‘Chosen One’, the madness that is the Second Wizarding War, losing many friends & allies over the years, and the heavy weight of the fame he had got from surviving the Killing Curse through his mom’s sacrifice as a baby. Because of all of this, he has fend for himself most of the time or he’ll get crushed literally and figuratively.
The poor guy also has a tendency to being in the dumps and carrying the guilt that he shouldn’t be bothered with, especially when he felt responsible for Sirius’ death during his Fifth Year that he wasn’t quite sure if he had done something different to prevent it from happening. He can be very quiet and reserved, especially when he gets really moody or goes off moping, and if something bad happens or gets him off-guard or confused, he gets really more emo and brooding than, let’s say, Malfoy. And yes, he can get very judgmental at times, most especially with the Syltherin House in his early Hogwarts years and even sometimes looking down on his good friend Neville at times (again this comes with the tendency of his to act unconsciously like an arrogant jerk at times), although over time with the House bias, he did open up his eyes to see more bad eggs in the other houses (including his own house) and some good Slytherins such as the case of Horace Slughorn and, yes, even Snape too. Nevertheless, he’s still a kind friendly guy who’ll be loyal to you & fight for you until the very end.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Trainer Starter: Rowlet Password: Atomic Fireball
Victory Road Sample: This day has gotten very strange for Harry: some time ago, he has managed to fix his wand at the Headmaster’s Office after the Battle and holding it with pride, then he blacks out suddenly, and the next thing he knows, he soon wakes up to see a ceiling in a room he has never seen before. He blinks in confusion of what just happened when a woman comes in to say to him that he’s going on an adventure that he needs to get up now. Has he gone mental now? There are so many questions he wants to ask her at a moment’s notice: Where is he right now? What about Ron and Hermione? Will they be okay with him missing? How can he get back home quickly?
Before he could say a word though, the cheerful woman gives him a backpack and escorts him out the door, saying her goodbye to him before shutting the door on him. Music begins to hit his ears hard while he looks around the town he is now stuck in with blank confusion. Harry is pretty certain that he didn’t accidentally touch a stray Time Turner on the office desk. Sighing in dismay, the young man begins to rummage through his backpack to find a red and white ball inside; he brings it close to his face to get a closer look.
Without knowing any better, he accidentally presses the center button and a flash of energy flies out from the ball and onto the ground, forming a small round owl with leaves for a bow tie and a tail and underneath his wings who is now staring at him. This creature has a keen interest in him early on and Harry kneels down to get a closer look and say hi to him.
“Oh, hi there,” he greets him in a polite manner, “It look like we’ll be going on on this journey together, right?”
The little owl happily hoots as a way to say ‘Yes and I want to be friends with you’. Harry doesn’t admit it too soon but he’s starting to warm up to the little owl thing: he reminds him a lot of Hedwig, which is making him feeling nostalgic, homesick and sad over her demise back home at the same time. Nevertheless, he decides to talk with him so they can get to know each other more.
“Okay then, I suppose that I should introduce myself to you: my name is Harry Potter, but just call me Harry,” he introduces himself to the owl, “Can I know what your name is?”
The owl just said the same thing again. Harry is staring to realize that the owl is trying to say his species’ name, a Rowlet. Okay, he gets the name of his species, but he needs to give this owl name of his own soon, so he thinks long and hard for a name for minutes, then he soon gets an idea from the trees in front of him.
“Hey, I think I might have a name for you,” he tells the owl, “What do you think about Rowan, it’s a tree with feather-shaped leaves. Will you want to be called Rowan?”
The Rowlet did think this over for a while as he waits anxiously before he hoots out happily that he likes the name a lot and it warms Harry’s heart a lot, knowing that he is happy with the it. Rowan then flies towards on his right shoulder and begins to snuggle up on his right cheek, and he is bursting into joyous tears. Sure, he may be stuck in a world so different from his world, but Rowan is beginning to become the friend he never thought he would need to start this new chapter of his life. He is now free to carve a new path away from what he has been through back home and Rowan is the key to it.

Character Name: Zack Fair Series: Final Fantasy 7 Compilation Timeline: End of Crisis Core Canon Resource Links:Here!
Physical Attributes: Zack is tall standing at 6’3 with a muscular build, blue mako infused eyes that seem to glow in the right setting and tanned skin. He has two scar marks on his face that form an x, he got this from fighting the combined Angeal copy monster Angeal Penance of his former mentor and friend. His hair was long and went down his middle back but was recently chopped short after a Genesis clone ate some of it leave it to just past his shoulders instead. (who eats hair???)
Personality:
Positive Attitude/ Energetic/Loyal - “So I can cut loose, right?” Zack’s known by many (thanks to Angeal) as a puppy. He has big golden retriever boy energy and it’s infectious. Zack has almost unlimitless energy which is evident when instead of being idle he will do squats to distract himself, he also has a short attention span. While a lot of very upsetting things happen in his story he still is able to put a smile on his face and keep moving forward. That isn’t to say he doesn’t get upset but he doesn’t let it control him either, usually. Despite his usually happy go luck personality he does often pout a lot and is very skilled in the ‘pouty puppy dog eyes’ look. His friends and allies are incredibly important to him and even when some of them desert him he still doesn’t want to fight them until he is left with no choice.
Warrior/Hero - ““I’m with SOLDIER, so… fighting is all I do. Sorting things out is someone else’s job. What’s going on? Who is the enemy? It makes no difference to me! “
Zack constantly shows how often he is willing to put himself on the line for others. He takes being a SOLDIER and a hero to heart and will always try to accomplish his dreams of that. We see his Warrior side come out multiple times in the game especially with the ending where he fights countless enemies on his own to protect his friend. His major dream and driving force is to become a Hero, someone people can look up to and also turn to in times of need. He took Angeal’s mentorship to heart and follows his code of Honor. Zack is an exceptional combatant, accomplished in both swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. When he does use his sword he uses the blunt end. While not a fighting genius, he was more skilled than any his age as he was younger than most when promoted to first, his ability to copy moves after seeing them once is also very handy. This ability makes him easy to pick up all kinds of new skills very easily.
Flirt/Playful/Friendly “Hey, how about one date?”
Zack is a flirt. He often can be seen flirting with females across the different games he’s appeared in with his most notable being with Aerith. He means well with his flirting and doesn’t actually want to date everyone he sees, it’s just part of his outgoing and friendly nature. He’s a very friendly guy who is hard not to like and makes friends with almost everyone he meets. With how outgoing he is, Zack also doesn’t really understand the concept of personal space and often will hug or get very close to others to the point where it can get a bit uncomfortable.

Character Name: Draco Malfoy Series: Harry Potter books not the films. Timeline: After Draco joins the Death Eaters but before he tries to kill Professor Dumbledore. Canon Resource Links:Canon Link
Original Character Background:N/A
Personality: At first Draco came off as a spoiled brat who loved to flaunt his status as a Pure Blood and his father's high status. When Harry denied his invitiation to be his friend and his help, they automatically became enemies. Draco was constantly challenging Harry and his friends and was rarely alone from his squad of Slytherines.
He hated not having the attention on him and would do through various means to redirect the attention to him, especially if it was always focused on Harry and his group. Often his attempts to gain attention were negative ways, like name calling, picking on an animal to agitate it, pretending to be heavily injured...the list goes on.
While he was younger, Draco had relied heavily on his Pure Blood status and the influence of his father. He also desperately sought approval from him and tried hard to gain it in what ever way possible. This also forced him to be combative with Harry's popularity and Hermoine's grades.
As he got older he began to realize that the old ways and being a Pure Blood was a thing in the past. They had to change in order to survive. At the same time, he didn't want to lose his family's love and respect. He would have been quickly disowned. He also already had an image that he couldn't just change. Most of the time when he was bullying or using slurs it was always in front of his crowd and at a moment when he knew nothing could be done.
Draco also began to realize that he didn't want to be like his father. He didn't want to follow his footseps as he quickly saw how his father began to loose the power and influece he once had. He also saw how Lord Voldermort treated his followers.
He only kept the image knowing it was expected of him. As things got worse for his family, Draco became more sullen and withdrawn. He couldn't share what was going on with his family and couldn't trust anyone with what he had to do as well. He joined the Death Eaters out of a necessasity. He would have lost his family and he believed it to be his last chance to prove himself to his father.
He was intelligent enough to be able to fix the broken Vanishing Cabinet, but when it came to killing Professor Dumbledore himself...he couldn't do it. It almost looked as if he would have taken Professor Dumbledore's help if Professor Snape hadn't stepped in to finish the job for him as planned.
Draco also showed how uncomfortable he was sitting at the table with the Death Eaters and Lord Voldermort. They had one of their professors who taught Muggle Studies and she called out to him trying to plead for him. He was forced to watch her death and seeing the snake eat her.
When Harry was captured by the Snatchers and brouoght to the Malfoy mannor, Bellatrix brought Draco out to see if it was really Harry Potter. Before they had been captures Hermoine had cursed him to make him unrecognizeable for a brief time. Draco recognized him, but lied to his aunt. It was clear he uncomfortable giving her this information understnading what she would have done if he told the truth. He lied trying to give Harry and his group some time.
During the war, Draco reluctantly joined Lord Voldermort and his group only due to his parents' beckoning. It was clear he wasn't happy with the choice. Yet, he made up for his actions later by tossing Harry his own wand to be able to fight back against Lord Voldermort.
Draco will have a hard time adapting to the new world that is Pokemon where his Magic and status won't mean nothing. And the only one to know him was Hermoine Granger, one he often picked on the most. This will force him to try and befriend people if he wanted to survive.

Character Name: Tobio Kageyama Series: Haikyuu!! Timeline: After winning against Nekoma at Nationals Canon Resource Links:Here
Personality: Kageyama bears the nickname "King of the Court", something that both pains him but can be seen as a good thing as well.
At first glance, Kageyama gives off a sullen air that is tinged with quite a bit of arrogance. His default expression doesn't make him easy to approach since he rarely smiles or shows much of anything other than a blank or frowning face. Even Hinata at the beginning of the series is at first intimidated by his future teammates expression, arrogance in full display when Kageyama asks the other young man what he had been doing for three years after handing a devastating loss to the other.
A bad and quick temper is another very noticeable trait of his. With his perfectionist streak, if anyone messes up, especially Hinata, Kageyama is quick to snap and demand they do better. Though later in the series it is not as super explosive, it still pops up at times since he doesn't have the best track record of properly expressing his emotions.
Which leads into his actually being rather sensitive to what others think of him. Since his rejection by his middle school team for being too egocentric, Kageyama is afraid of it happening again, though he doesn't talk about it till Tsukishima calls him out on it. Still, he can seem more like a kid with his outbursts than the teenager in high school he is supposed to be.
Kageyama does have some positive sides to him. He is extremally passionate about volleyball, and is outwardly rather excited when they make good plays. The most excitement is displayed when Hinata and him make a really good play, and some of the few times these two really get along before potential bickering starts again. He always wants to do his best, and is very much an asset to his team with his skills as a Setter.
Overall, joining Karasuno has done him some good. Kageyama has learned that teamwork is about trusting your team, and working with them to make sure that all of his sets work with whoever he is setting to, not just Hinata. Despite hating the nickname of "King of the Court", with how much growth he's done since joining Karasuno and being around people who will not let him call all the shots, he's become a different King among crows.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Trainer Starter: Murkrow Password: Atomic Fireball
Victory Road Sample: [After the mess that was "mother" and that strange professor, Kageyama was actually glad to be out on the road towards a new town. Sure, it meant this weird bird that refused to stay in a ball was following him like a feathery stalker, but it meant finding something familiar.
Kageyama was far from the most technology literate and at first struggles with the device handed to him that supposedly had a map in it. Though what he sees doesn't look anything like the Japan he was once in. Maybe a region of it?
Irritation makes him turn it off and shove the Pokedex into his pocket. If this was a dream, it was the most annoying dream in the world. There was nothing about volleyball here, just these Pokemon things.]
How the hell do people wake up from dreams again?
[That makes him pinch his cheeks painfully without the wanted results. The angry walk slows down to an eventual stop as he thinks of what to do next. He looks around till he finds the Pokemon that's supposed to be his. There's a slight grin that pulls at his lips when the creature called Murkrow caws at him curiously.]
Whatever this is, at least it's not letting me forget I'm a crow.

Character Name: Boober Fraggle Series: Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock Timeline: Post-Season 1, Episode 13: "All of Us" Canon Resource Links:Muppet Wiki page for Back to the Rock
Personality: Boober is a Fraggle, and with that comes a love of a music and a playful nature... But Boober embodies these inherently Fraggle-ish traits differently than others. His playfulness comes mostly comes forth in sassy body language and snarky little remarks, and while he does enjoy music, he'd much prefer a sad and soulful ballad than an upbeat chorus. He's unique among his friends, and he's very aware of this fact. It's a sore spot, and he feels uncomfortable in what he sees as his weirdness, especially early on: This is most clearly shown through his glow. The fuzzy end of Boober's tail, called his baloobious, glows with light whenever he's being his truest self. He's not the only Fraggle to have this trait, but it is uncommon-- And for most of his life, Boober thought it was just he who glowed. Meeting a more traveled and learned Fraggle known as the Archivist taught Boober that he was not alone, and that his glow was not weird but instead special.
Boober likes to try foreseeing every possible negative outcome to give himself a sense of security. This means he's quite the worrywart, especially since he doesn't usually entertain the idea that something good can happen. His fear can overwhelm him, but he's slowly learning that just because its present, doesn't mean he has to let it rule him. Still, this is another way he's different, and it's harder to put a positive spin on that for the little guy. In fact, feeling like he doesn't stack up to other Fraggles, in terms of happiness or helpfulness. is a reoccurring theme with Boober, and the reason his insecurities persist.
Though Boober is generally quiet and more introverted, he's a loyal friend who wants to be of value and use to others. He loves being able to provide for others with food and general hospitality, although this can cross the line into inconvenience for the somewhat grumpy Fraggle. But he does pride himself on his skills with cooking and laundry, and because of these two passions he places high importance on neatness, organization, and cleanliness.

Victory Road Sample: Boober sighed as he rubbed his shins, then glanced down at the sleeping Volbeat next to him... If he was aching after their training, Archie should be much worse off, and yet he was peacefully snoozing away. Pokemon really were pretty amazing. Still, even having realized that-- Well, he didn't think he was ready for Archie to fight other Pokemon unless absolutely necessary. And so, their current training regimen. It was really just Archie tackling and diving at Boober while Boober tried to evade. His partner was probably having to hold back, which wasn't very productive. But Archie, for all his fighting spirit, was still a bug, right? It just seemed foolish to send him out against other, more formidable Pokemon. Especially the bird-like ones, and there were so many of those!
But as he sat by the fire that night, Boober couldn't help wondering if he was being overly-cautious. He did do that, after all! Maybe he was even projecting a little...? Or a lot. He was so scared being here, in a foreign place with a foreign form for his body. Archie had always been in this world, though. and he wanted to fight. He believed in himself! Maybe Boober should do the same, and put his fear on the back burner. But that was easier said than done.
Archie looked so peaceful sleeping right now. It was hard to imagine him as the tough, powerful creature he clearly saw himself as... But wouldn't he know? Boober leaned over to pat the Volbeat on the head, and when he stirred and opened one eye, Boober found himself smiling.
"Sorry, bud, I didn't mean to wake you up. But... Um, maybe you'll be glad I did. I've been thinking, and... Well, tomorrow we'll buy some potions and other medicine, and then you can do some training. Real training, okay?"
Archie beamed, tail aglow, and let out a cry of delight. And really... Seeing that was worth feeling the fear.

Character Name: Rock Howard Series: The King of Fighters Timeline: Post KOF XV Canon Resource Links:SNK wiki
Personality:
At first glance, Rock Howard looks like a boisterous man who seeks any kind of thrill, but he is anything but. He’s a shy, modest man who tries not to bring attention to himself, nor is he the kind to seek out any sort of trouble. He tries to live an honest life, working any odd jobs he can get to take care of the man who adopted him, Terry, and himself. Despite that, he knows how to handle himself in a fight, especially in a town like South Town, where street fighting was the norm. If push came to shove, Rock is the type to end things as quickly as they started, all to avoid drawing a crowd-- and to hide the energy-based powers he inherited from his father, Geese.
Having grown up in a modest apartment with his mother, Rock’s childhood was relatively normal-- as normal as one can get when red eyes scare most away. His mother Marie taught him how to be kind and compassionate, two virtues he holds close to his heart due to the short amount of time he had with her. He does his best to show kindness wherever possible, despite having difficulty in social situations, especially with women. Having grown up with very few people in his life (mainly men) didn’t help his social abilities, which makes him unable to continue most conversations filled with small talk. The kindness he holds was only reinforced by his childhood friend Hotaru Futaba, a girl who lost her entire family to revenge. In a show of compassion, he offered Hotaru his assistance in finding her older brother, who disappeared in a quest for revenge. Rock saw what negative emotions does to a family through her, and couldn’t bear to think of what would happen if he were to be consumed by them, and only hoped for a peaceful life. Life dealt him a different hand, despite that wish.
While Rock’s relationship with his mother was strong, his relationship with his father Geese was not. Understandably so, as Geese Howard is the most notorious crime lord in South Town. Upon their first meeting, Geese pushed Rock away the moment he met him, claiming he has no time nor patience for Rock, and even denied helping his ailing mother. This was the catalyst that sparked Rock’s own rage-- he despised Geese for denying to help his mother and for neglecting him. It was so powerful that he feared that he would commit the worst, and ran. He ran to his mother, who unfortunately passed that very same night. Grief and rage fueled the release of his inherited power from his father, and he feared it. It was a power that he didn’t ask for, nor did he know where to begin to be able to calm it. It was this fear, and the knowledge that negative emotions made his powers go stronger that made Rock swear to himself that he would never hurt anyone with it. However, he had no home and a short time, became a wandering orphan as he tried to find methods to control and even find answers as to why he had the abilities in the first place. Despite that resolve, it would become a lifelong struggle to control that power due to it’s overwhelming strength, and any expenditure only weakens Rock’s natural barriers.
His meeting with Terry Bogard changed his life’s course, however. It was a chance meeting, but Rock understood that Terry had settled his grudge with Geese, and wanted to understand how, and why. Despite Terry shooing him away during all his street fights, Rock stayed by his side. He wanted to understand just how and why a man who settled a grudge-- the very same grudge that he holds-- was so carefree afterwards. Rock’s curiosity (in both street fighting and in Terry in general) showed in his eyes so much that once Terry learned of Rock’s orphan status, he took him under his wing. It was through living with Terry that Rock learned the importance of balance, even if Terry himself is a complete party-head. It was Terry who taught him most of what he knows of fighting, and it was through that training that his control over his inherited power has gotten better. Rock even found comfort as he found others who struggle to handle strange powers, as shown in his brief meeting with Shun’ei and Isla during the 15th King of Fighters tournament. Overall, Rock is a sweet boy who tries to limit both conversation in order to avoid fights and to avoid talking to people in general, but genuinely wants the best for those he does consider close.
