General Personality: Lai is a bit over eager. His whole family has fought in the war since it began and his house if full of war heroes and their trophies. Those that have survived at least. Lai feels a lot of pressure being the only one from his generation, though he has a couple younger cousins and two older siblings that are still alive. He's always believed in the righteousness of the war and looked forward to the day he could join the fighting. He feels an almost constant need to prove himself and takes a lot of risks for the betterment of the heavenly kingdom, or so he believes without question.
Despite his bordering on arrogant attitude he is rather humble around his family and around his superiors. He's a bit anti social with his fellow soldiers and doesn’t' understand how any of them could even think to question the rightness of the war. He's always seen demons as evil heartless beasts and after his mother's death the year before at the hands of one his hate has only grown. He is fiercely loyal to those he sees worth protecting, and despite most angel's apparent disinterest in humans, he has a soft spot for them.
Background: Born into a military family Lai grew up hearing tales of war and triumph, his family very proud of their heritage and no one ever doubted that he would follow in the family's tradition. He had five older siblings, but by the time he was old enough to know them, three had died. He was left with only a sister and a brother, both of which join the military around the time he learned to walk and he doesn't see them often. He grew up in a large family home filled with many generations, but as he grew the number of angels fluctuated greatly with the near constant deaths and births. With each there would be a great celebration so he learned not to mourn death, but to celebrate that his loved ones are dying for a good cause and will be reborn somewhere, some day.
About the time he learned to fly he accidentally fell to earth and was caught in the crossfire of a skirmish. When the dust settled and the fighters left for their respective realms, Lai was left alone on the battlefield. He survived on his own for a couple days before a caravan came through and found him. It was a nice family heading to a new town and despite the obvious fact that he was an angel they took him along for a ways. He got to play with other kids around his physical appearance of age and took a liking to horses and ox. He was bitten by a dog at one point and decided he didn't like those noisy things. However after a week someone finally thought to check earth and his mother retrieved him without much fuss.
Once he was old enough he joined the junior soldiers in their training and quickly completed his training. He graduated as one of the top students in combat and tactics training, however he barely squeaked by in medical and strategy training. A lot of his trainers agreed that he could be an archangel one day if he kept powering along the way he had been, and with that support, and the support of his family, he was the youngest cadet to complete the junior training and move on the the actual battlfield training. While he is not the strongest, or fastest, or really the best at anything, no one questions that he may one day be a one of the greatest. If he doesn't get himself killed before then of course.
One year before his final test to become a fully fledged soldier his mother was killed in a skirmish along the angelic boarder when a group of demons went on a kamikaze mission to attack the gates of heaven. This had not been tried in a while, but they managed to get right up tot he gates before the last of them was taken down. His mother had been on patrol, a normally boring and safe detail, when the attack occurred. She died without being able to say good-bye to any of her family. Ever since Lai has been a bit mindless in his pursuit of becoming a soldier, finishing his training a full six months before he should have. Despite rejoicing in her death as he has always been taught, his heart still feels the wound of losing her.
