Terryn Yaki

Descending from a long line of courageous warriors and martial arts prodigies, Terryn was destined for greatness from birth. For centuries, his ancestors have disciplined themselves in various martial arts, honing their bodies to their absolute limit and using their immaculate strength and skill in order to bring peace and balance to to the world. Some became valiant heroes, whilst others became award-winning fighters feared within the Tenkai'ichi Budokai. No matter the path Terryn's ancestors took, it seemed that they were always fated for success, and they took great pride in this fact.

Blessed with the natural strength and immense Ki reserves of his forefathers, Terryn showed enormous potential as a young child. His strength could lead him to achieve great things, with his parents truly believing he could one day become one of the best martial artists to have ever existed.

But he honestly couldn't give less of a crap about that.

Terryn himself sure as hell didn't. Ever since he was a young tyke, Terryn showed zero interest in actually using his strength for...Well, anything, really. He grew up as any other regular Earthling did, much to the annoyance of his own parents. His family's natural strength had skipped an entire generation, leading his father, Tako Yaki, to push Terryn to become what he himself could never achieve. Tako Yaki was a fledgling fighter, skilled among the general populace, but someone that could never live up to the immense bar set by their ancestors. He became envious of Terryn's naturally born strength, and pushed the boy to fulfill his own dream.

They often got into heated debates ever since Terryn could remember, with him throwing a fit every time his dad pushed him to seek training and practice. It was a harsh and ugly situation. Terryn only truly ever found solace within his mother, Soba. While quiet and reserved, she supported him in his dreams of pursuing other goals.

The harsh situation at home lead Terryn to be quite the troubled kid during his elementary school days. He often got into fights with classmates, bullying those he saw as an easy target to cope with his frustration. A childlike cruelty that Terryn looks back on with immense regret. Eventually, Terryn's parents moved to Central City as a means to get away from the mess and start anew.

Regretting his cruel actions, Terryn decided to use his cleaned slate for the better. Although he still held scorn toward his father, Terryn no longer outed his frustration against his classmates. He enrolled into Orange Star High, with little expectations or grand ideas for his future. He'll manage somehow, he wagered.

Due to his upbringing, Terryn grew up to be quite the rebellious teenager. Every rule his parents or teachers enforced upon him, he'd intentionally break just to mess with them. This rough 'bad boy' attitude lead him to become quite popular with his peers and teachers alike, who's opinions differed vastly. Some looked up to him, while others detested his smugness.

His popularity lead him to be the romantic interest of many girls within Orange Star High. It was quite the common occurrence to see Terryn roll into school with a new girlfriend. He never seemed interested in them though; His relationships were always very short as a result.

Coincidentally, the only girl Terryn was actually interested in was the one that never showed any direct romantic interest in him. Alva, who also happened to become one of Terryn's closest friends throughout his High School days. She was the only person that managed to coax out Terryn's true self, working past his smug and dejected exterior. Around her, Terryn felt like he could 'be real', which was as amazing to him as it was terrifying. He became infatuated with her as the years ticked on by, although he was never able to bring himself to express his feelings to her. Even though the two still talk, Terryn still can't bring himself to do it.

It's been a year or two since Terryn graduated. The broken bond between him and his father has been mostly mended. Terryn simply gets by now indulging in his hobby's and working the odd job here and there, unsure and uninterested in where his life will take him. Whether it be wasting away in front of the TV or going on joyrides, Terryn enjoys his personal peace, worrying about the little things in life.

Although, it may not be long before Terryn's peace becomes threatened. Galactic tensions are running higher than usual, with a brooding sense of danger slowly washing over Earth as a knee-jerk response to the sudden resignation of it's leader. For now, Terryn has managed to remain blissfully unaware of the problems his home is facing, but for how long can he manage to keep that? How long will it be until Terryn is forced to fight to retain his peaceful life?

Terryn's 'destiny' is knocking at his door. That of a warrior. A fighter, A protector.

He can't ignore it forever.
