Tai Rovigatti

Tai Rovigatti

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Tai is in relatively poor physical condition, primarily due to his long history of abuse and the rather lackluster prison food, but does his best to maintain his lean muscle, despite being somewhat underweight. His leg was broken several years ago and didn't heal properly, causing a malunion and subsequently a leg length discrepancy. Similarly, his fingers and several bones in his hand have healed crookedly and have made it harder for him to carry out fine motor skills.

Facial Features

His face is sharp and angular, especially around the cheekbones, partially due to a poor diet. He has monolids and his eyes (including sclera) are completely black, with a slight swirl to them very reminiscent of his portals.

Physical quirks

Favors his right arm and left leg in combat, and walks with a limp when he's not forcing himself to hide it

Apparel & Accessories

Always, always has on a pair of reflective sports sunglasses that hide his eyes completely.

Mental characteristics

Education

Only has "official" education up to fifth grade; all education after that point was either through the prison or self study

Employment

Has never held a job prior to his appointment as trainer of the Youth Hero Program

Accomplishments & Achievements

Despite his incarceration, Tai managed to set a world record for the highest number of prison escapes at a grand total of thirty-four. His longest prison escape lasted for nine and a half months, before he willingly handed himself back over to the police.

Mental Trauma

Exceedingly distrusting of anybody in a position of power over him, and highly opposed to being commanded. Very lonely and somewhat socially awkward, but he's very good at hiding it. Tai has immense issues with physical contact outside of combat and exposing his skin beyond his hands, feet, and face. The latter aspect is due to the feelings of shame when people see his scars, as well as the memories associated with said scars. His eyes, however, are an indication of his status as a person with powers, and due to his brutal persecution for that status, he absolutely refuses to show them to anybody except in very extreme circumstances, even going as far to manifesting his ability to hide his face when without his sunglasses.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Wants to not be seen as a monster - getting out of prison and being reunited with his mother are both different aspects of that.
