DEFINING MY PAST

---

// HISTORY //

Frederick Luther Mingmang was born in Philadelphia, PA to his mother Demetria, a Philly native, and his father Gon-Shen from Beijing. From a young age Fred was always in a constant battle with his father over where his life was headed. From music, to sports, cooking, or acting, his father constantly disapproved of every dream Fred had. As far as Gon-Shen was concerned, none of those careers had any dignity or honor attached to them. He wanted to his son to work hard, get a degree, and establish himself in a respectable career.

Of course having such clashing ideologies with his father lead Fred to feel aimless in life. He started a life of partying and reckless behavior in his early teens. Luckily for Fred, he had a natural academic gift so his grades were hardly affected. But when high school drew to a close he realized he still had no plans for what to do after. That’s when he had a brilliant idea. If Gon-Shen wanted his son to be a successful career man like himself, that’s what he’d get.

At least, that’s what Fred let him think. He told his father that he planned to major in Aerospace Engineering, just like his old man. His father was so excited by this idea that he didn’t even mind that the school Fred wanted to attend was across the country in California. Gon-Shen agreed to pay for Fred’s room and board as well as sending Fred a monthly allowance, so long as he kept his grades up. Exactly as Fred had planned.

So Fred went off to college and has ever since been spending almost every night partying and hanging out with his bros. He’s been living the good life at college, having a blast, drinking, loving lots of women, and traveling the west coast. All while keeping his grades up. The only problem is he still hasn’t quite figured out what he wants to do with his life yet. Fred only has a few years left to figure out what he actually wants to do before he ends up stuck following in his father’s footsteps.

Race: Pterodactyl
PL: 910
Time/Date: Day 1, Morning
Location: The Arena
Tagging: None

Hiko stood by the entrance to the ring, wrapping his hands in bandages. It was almost his time to fight, his meditating had helped him to calm down. He noticed Beryl Bloodstone walk up beside him. “Hi there Beryl, I look forward to our match!” Hiko enthused, extending a friendly hand to the pink-haired witch. But Beryl ignored his greeting, staring straight ahead out at the ring with a serious expression on her face. Hiko just withdrew his hand, taking the hint.

“Ladies and gentleman, let’s kick off the Tenkaichi Budokai with our first match of the day! Ruff!” Announced Paw-Paw, with all the enthusiasm of a natural born performer. The crowd roared with applause, eager for action. “Our first contender is a beautiful young witch from West City who is a master of spellcraft. Please welcome the mistress of the magical arts, Beryl Bloodstone!”

Beryl’s demeanor suddenly changed as she made her way out to the stage. She plastered an infectious smile on her face and walked out with her arms in the air. She stood in the center of the ring and basked in the applause, winking and blowing kisses to the crowd. This was all apart of the show to Beryl, she was getting the crowd to fall in love with her. Surely putting on a good performance at this tournament would help her drum up business and make some money.

“Next to the stage is her contender. Ruff! A sight never before seen here or anywhere else for that matter! This young man hails from the Tsubasa Temple, a skilled monk in training. But what’s more is that he’s a pterodactyl! This pint-sized pteranodon pugilist packs quite a powerful punch. Give it up for Hiko “Ivory Wings” Kyoryu! The crowd erupted in cheering as Hiko walked into the ring. He wasn’t expecting such a lively applause for him, but he figured everyone was just so excited for the fights to start they didn’t care who was in the ring.

Hiko and Beryl stood roughly ten feet from each other with Paw-Paw in the middle. “Alright fighters, the rules have already been explained to you. So I expect a good, clean match. When I say ‘fight’ the match will begin.” Paw-paw stepped back from the fighters to avoid catching any punches should they launch at each other once the match started. “Ready, Fight!”

Rather than jump right out and attack Hiko did as he was always trained to do, he clasped his hands together and bowed toward his opponent as a sign of respect. Obviously he expected the same in return, but Beryl had other ideas. Seeing her opportunity to strike she disappeared in a flash of neon green light and teleported to Hiko’s left side, delivering a powerful kick to the side of his face.

Hiko was taken aback by this cheap shot. He looked to his left but noticed a green flash from his right, followed by a fist that barreled into his other cheek. He quickly shook off the blow, her attacks weren’t particularly powerful, but if he let her keep this up they’d start to wear on Hiko. He swung towards where Beryl was but she disappeared again. This time Hiko didn’t see where she went, not before he felt her boots digging into his back. He thought about turning around to grab her, but he had another plan for her.

Hiko braced his entire body for her next attack, which came as she appeared in front of him again for a gut shot. Her fist barely caused a ripple in Hiko’s stomach. This time the mighty pterodactyl grabbed the young witch by her arm. He wanted to end this match quickly, so he decided to use the tournaments rules to his advantage. With a great yank he tossed Beryl across the ring and towards the grass on the outside. She had almost hit the ground too before she yet again vanished and reappeared back in the center of the ring, this time a good distance away from Hiko.

He figured Beryl was likely trying to reevaluate her gameplan. Hiko didn’t know what other tricks she had up her sleeves, but he’d have to be ready for anything. He didn’t want to give her enough time to think, so with a mighty flap of his wings he lifted himself off the ground a began zooming towards his mystical opponent. He readied his fist to hit her with a powerful blow. He didn’t want to hurt such a fragile girl, but he couldn’t risk her pulling out some trick that could cause him to lose this fight. As Hiko flew through the air he abruptly stopped. But not of his own will! He couldn’t move, he was completely immobilized! He looked at Beryl and noticed her eyes were glowing with a violet light and her palms were outstretched towards him. Was this one of her spells?

The purple glow in Beryl’s eyes flashed as she let out a powerful yell and sent Hiko flying backwards. The startled beastman quickly slammed his claws down into the ring and began scraping along the concrete to keep from being thrown out of the ring. His momentum began to slow, he just prayed to Tsubasa that it would be enough.

Beryl was beginning to struggle, this pterodactyl had be the heaviest thing she had ever lifted with her telekinesis. It was a strain on her mind and body and she couldn’t keep it up much longer. Eventually she had to release the spell and Hiko flopped to the ground. She had exhausted two of her three spells and was running out of surprises for her formidable foe. But she still had one more tactic to try, as underhanded as it might be.

Waiting for Hiko to get back to his feet, the mystical woman once again teleported and appeared directly in front of him. This time, Hiko was quick react and walloped the witch with a powerful left cross to her jaw. She fell to the ground immediately and Hiko started to go to the ground to finish her off. But then he noticed something odd. Was she crying? He looked at Beryl and saw tears streaming down her face.

“You big meany! How could you punch a lady like that!?” Beryl cried out loud enough for the whole audience to hear.

Suddenly Hiko began to hear booing from the stands. He looked around in bewilderment, taken aback that the audience had suddenly turned on him. Though it was mostly the men doing all the boing. Did he do something wrong? Wasn’t this supposed to be a fighting tournament? He looked back down at Beryl who’s eyes were now glowing a bright orange color.

Beryl focused on Hiko intensely, staring him straight in the eyes. “Now sleep you overgrown bird!”

Hiko’s eyes took on the same orange glow as Beryl’s and began to close. His body lost all tension and soon enough he slumped to the ground, fast asleep. Beryl stood to her feet and towered over her unconscious opponent with a victorious smirk on her face.

“What’s this? It would appear as though Hiko has fallen asleep? Well, if he’s not up within the count of ten then this match is over for him!” Announced Paw-Paw as he began his countdown. “Ten, nine, eight…”

Beryl chuckled to herself. She knew this musclehead wasn’t getting up anytime soon. Her magic was too powerful, he was probably going to be out cold for a few hours. He definitely wasn’t waking up in the next ten seconds.

“...seven, six…”

The audience gazed on with silent anticipation. Everyone eager to see if this was really the end of the fight.

“...five, four, three…”

Suddenly, Hiko’s claw reached out and grabbed Beryl’s ankle. Paw-Paw stopped his countdown short as Hiko leapt to his feet, causing the witch to land flat on her face.

“Don’t be foolish…” Said Hiko, as he sat himself down on Beryl’s back and began pulling on her leg. “...I’ve spent my entire life training my mind. It’s the most powerful muscle in my body!” He kept putting more and more tension on her leg with his arms, careful to just pull enough to cause her excruciating pain. “I’d never fall prey to such simple trick.”

The pain in Beryl’s leg was unbearable, this was undoubtedly the most physical torment she had been put through. She tried to hold on and think of a way out of this. But the pain was so great that she couldn’t even focus enough to teleport out of the monsters grasp. Her head was beginning to get dizzy and she felt like she was going to vomit. Finally she slapped the ground vigorously. “Ok, I give up! I give up! Just let me go you big lummox!” She screamed at the top of her lungs.

Hiko released his grip and stood up victoriously over his defeated opponent. Suddenly he noticed that Paw-Paw had grabbed his palm and was now thrusting it into the air.

“Ladies and gentleman, your winner by submission, Hiko “Ivory Wings” Kyoryu!”

The stadium erupted with thunderous applause. Even the men who had been booing him earlier were now cheering and chanting his name. They certainly showed no favorites. Once Paw-Paw released his grip from Hiko, the fighter turned around to offer his opponent some help up and congratulate her on a good match. But Beryl had already gotten up and was limping away on her damaged leg with her head held low.

“Hiko will advance to the second round of the tournament. We look forward to your next fight!” The audience applause continued as Hiko walked out of the ring and back to the waiting area. He was almost in shock, not believing that he had actually won his first fight in the tournament. Maybe, just maybe, he could make it all the way.

Hiko slipped away from the commotion in the locker room to check out the opening ceremonies. He was amazed by the spectacle of it all. A knot began to form in Hiko’s stomach, he was beginning to feel anxious. It just started to hit him how big a deal this tournament really was. Here he was, a kid from a quite mountain temple, preparing to fight against the greatest fighters this world had to offer. Maybe he was in way over his head, but he knew it would bring great shame to the Tsubasa Temple for him to back out now. At least they didn’t have television back at the temple, so he didn’t have to worry about them watching him lose.

Paw-Paw Kenji, the reigning Tenkaichi Budokai champion, announced the fights and displayed the tournament tree on the jumbotron. Hiko scanned the enormous screen until he came across his picture, and beneath his was Beryl Bloodstone on the other side of the bracket. He recognized her as the brightly dressed witch he spotted in the fighter waiting room. She didn’t seem like much a fighter to him, so maybe he had it a bit easier this first round. Hiko thought that perhaps if he made it to at least the second round he could try to take some pride in that.

Walking back to the locker room Hiko found a different place for him to relax while he waited for his fight to be called. From the bench he was sitting on he could see Beryl trying to sell another fighter some trinket. Hiko was confused, was she not going to prepare for her fight? No changing into proper martial arts attire, no meditating, no stretching? Hiko thought that perhaps she was just that confident in her ability to win. Reflecting on it, he was pretty sure Beryl was the only magic user in the tournament. That put her at an advantage because she had skills that nobody else in the tournament possesed.

That was the one major flaw with Hiko’s training. All his life, outside of the occasional bandit and wild animals, Hiko had only fought other Tsubasan monks. All Hiko knew was fighting people who practiced the same martial arts as he did. While each fighter was unique in their own way, each monk still followed the same disciplines. Hiko had certainly never dealt with a magic user, or a wrestler, or even monks from different temples. This tournament was bound to be a learning experience for Hiko, so even if he didn’t win he’d still get something of value from participating. He wasn’t quite sure how to even prepare for his fight against the witch, as he had no idea what to expect. So Hiko prepared how he usually did and began meditating to clear his mind before his match began.

The heart just about leaped out of Hiko’s chest. He had not meant to brush up against this woman with his wingtip. Master Kameina’s voice echoed in his mind, reminding him that he should never touch a woman unless it was to save her life. But right now the frightened pteranodon felt like he was the one who needed saving from the amazonian Sheeban.

“I’m so sorry ma’am! I did not mean to disrespect you by touching you.” Hiko apologized profusely. The giantess grabbed Hiko’s tail and leaned in towards him. The sensation of his tail being clutched by Sheeban was odd. He’d had his tail grabbed before in combat, by opponents who were unaware that it was Hiko’s most powerful appendage. But this felt different, it was awkward and uncomfortable. Yet somehow pleasant, though Hiko couldn’t tell why. As the woman leaned forward, Hiko could see down her chest. He quickly averted his eyes upward, forced to meet her piercing gaze.

Sheeban barked at Hiko about how people like he and her were not like the tinier tournament participants and that they deserved to be eaten. Hiko, was taken aback by this rhetoric that flew in the face of everything he’d been taught by Master Kameina. Her message seemed the exact opposite of the Tsubasan principles of humility and compassion. All this made Hiko unsure about whether he would want to learn from a woman like this. Especially hearing her say that she was a princess, Hiko could only imagine what the frugal and spiritual monks of his temple would say if he knew he was consorting with royalty.

Hiko tried to squeak out a response, “M-my name is H-Hiko Kyoryu, student of Tsubasa Temple…your highness.” He was certain she wanted him to speak louder, but it was the best Hiko could manage with how flustered he was. Plus, he didn’t want to cause an even bigger scene. He could already see curious eyes glaring over at Sheeban and him.

Hiko had just begun to enter into a state of deep meditation when his concentration was suddenly broken by a sharp jab in his side. He opened his eyes to see the large beauty he’d been admiring earlier was now prodding his ribcage. Hiko’s face flushed with blood as he became suddenly embarrassed. It wasn’t often that girls talked to him, let alone touched him. He stared up at her, trying his hardest to look only at her face, lest he bring shame upon himself and her. However, the fiery intenseness in the giantess’ eyes made Hiko even more uncomfortable.

He was confused by the large woman, who he had heard earlier call herself Sheeban. She seemed to have a problem with Hiko’s white skin and seemed to be confused that he had gills instead of lungs. Did she perhaps mistake him for a fish? Sheeban went on chastise Hiko for acting meekly, and demanded a war-cry from him. Hiko wasn’t sure why she was so concerned with his demeanor.

Hiko responded to the woman, his voice coming out more quiet and reserved then he meant it to. “I apologize if my pale complexion is upsetting to you, but I am unable to change it. I also must correct you, I am not a sea creature and have lungs rather than gills.” Hiko unfurled his wings slightly, as if to help illustrate to the confused woman that he was not from the ocean. “As for a war-cry, I’m afraid that such behavior would be uncouth for a monk such as myself.”

Hiko hoped this answer would suffice. Every moment around Sheeban made him uncomfortable, and he desperately wanted to be out of her presence. He even retracted his earlier desire to face her in combat. This woman made Hiko have feelings he’d never had before, and he noticed his tail uncurling and stiffening up. He would have to pray vigorously to Lord Tsubasa later to apologize for his weakness.

The registration process was simpler than Hiko had expected. He assumed they would be more discriminatory in who could enter the Tenkaichi Budokai. As Hiko looked around he noticed that many of the participants did not have the appearance of skilled warriors or fighters. But he figured the tournament officials probably had their own methods of whittling away those who don’t deserve to participate in the fights. Besides, most people likely wouldn’t look at a pteranodon and expect him to be a trained martial artist.

Rather than stand around and judge his fellow competitors, Hiko decided to take some time to clear his mind before the tournament properly began. Off in a corner of the waiting room he noticed another fighter had the same idea as Hiko and was deep in meditation. He was a shorter man in common martial artist attire who’s head was shaved bald. Hiko recognized his training uniform but couldn’t quite place where he’d seen it before. But the appearance of this young man reminded the pteranodon of many of the monks at Tsubasa temple, probably most the cleanly shaven head.

As Hiko settled down in the most secluded part of the waiting room he could find, he took another look around to take stock of the other fighters. He noticed a very pale girl with auburn hair and black clothing, she was talking to a much more brightly dressed woman reminded Hiko of a witch from some of the story books he read as a child. Hiko’s attention was quickly snapped away from the pair of women when another, much larger woman caught his attention. This lady was by far the largest woman in the room. Heck, she was the largest woman Hiko had ever seen. While she wasn’t particularly tall, she was even stockier than Hiko was. Looking at her, Hiko could tell he probably wouldn’t fare well in a grappling match against her.

A bit embarrassed to notice this, Hiko also found her to be quite beautiful. She had a far more elegant loveliness to her than the few plain girls Hiko had known in the village beside his temple. It was something Hiko had come to struggle with since he left Tsubasa temple. As a monk he was sworn to a life of celibacy, and all of the promiscuously dressed and lovely women in the city had made this vow difficult for him to uphold.

The stout giantess began causing an uproar, boasting about how pathetic all the other fighters in the room were compared to her and how she was going to “whoop some ass.” This irritated Hiko, and made him forget her beauty. He couldn’t believe someone could be so arrogant. In the back of his mind Hiko hoped he would find himself in combat against this boisterous braggart. If solely to teach her some humility.

Hiko decided to just ignore the woman for now and take this time to start meditating. Getting himself into a comfortable position, he closed his eyes and began reciting the ancient Tsubasan hymns he’d been practicing since childhood. But the anticipation for the upcoming tournament lingered around in the recesses of his mind. Hiko could not deny that he was excited and anxious to fight some worthy opponents.

Visual Appearance

Hiko has the appearance of your average pterodactyl with a few major exceptions. For one, he’s albino, his skin is a very light grey that borders on being white with an amber colored underbelly. Secondly, he’s much smaller than your average pterodactyl, closer in size to an average human. But he does maintain the stout and bulky build that is common with his race. His tail is about three and half feet long. He has a wingspan of roughly seven feet.

Written Appearance

Hiko wears his temples traditional lavender robes with a golden sash around his waist. His hands and feet are wrapped in a white bandage.

Personality

Hiko’s demeanor is like that of most other monks from his temple. He has been training his mind for years to keep calm and collected as much as possible. He tries his best to stay humble and kind under all circumstances. However he is still a relative novice and his beastly instincts can sometimes cause him to lose his temper. He is also beholden to a competitive nature and a desire for strength and power to prove himself as a warrior. But it should be stressed that for the most part he keeps a calm demeanor and tries to be nice and helpful to everybody he meets.

Background

One day many years ago Kenmeina Menta, a monk from the Tsubasa Temple, had gone off to the mountains to meditate for a few weeks as part of his training. Kenmeina had barely been meditating for an hour before his concentration had been broken by the sound of a babies terrified wail. He immediately ran off into the forest where he heard the tortured crying coming from. When he arrived at the source of the noise he found an infant pterodactyl that was surrounded by a pack of about a dozen saber tooth tigers ready to eat it the poor child alive. On instinct Kenmeina intervened and began to fight off the tigers.

Kenmeina fought bravely against the tigers for hours, killing several in the process. He however had sustained severe injuries, including losing his left eye and his right arm being irreparably shattered. Eventually the few remaining tigers decided to retreat, leaving Kenmeina with the pterodactyl child.

He slumped down to the ground, tired and broken. He almost fell unconscious before the infant’s cries snapped him alert. Kameina crawled his way over to the baby’s side and finally got his first good look at the child. He was the smallest pterodactyl Kameina had ever seen, even for a newborn. Not only that but his skin was oddly colored, white all around his except for a bright red belly.

Just by looking at this boy Kameina could tell he was special. He also knew that the boy would die if left alone out here in the forest. With a new paternal energy Kameina picked the child up and used his tattered sash as a bundle for him. The baby had finally ceased crying and was now staring intently at Kameina. He gave a weary smile to the child and and the child gave him a large fang-filled grin back. Amused, Kameina looked the pint-sized pterodactyl in the eyes and said, “I think I’ll call you Hiko, Hiko Kyoryu”. The newly dubbed Hiko let out a happy squeal that quickly turned into a yawn before falling asleep. Kameina strapped Hiko around his back and walked back towards the Tsubasa Temple.

The years went by and Kameina raised Hiko as a monk at the Tsubasa Temple. Even when Kameina became the head of the temple he still found time for Hiko’s training as a disciplined and skilled warrior. Hiko took to martial arts well. His physique made him naturally stronger than his peers, even if he never quite reached the normal size of a pterodactyl. Even more, his tail and wings also gave him an upper hand in combat and Kameina pushed him to use them effectively while fighting.

Over the years he finally developed into one of Tsubasa Temples finest fighters and gained an amiable reputation for helping out around the temple, being an excellent mentor to the children, and defending the temple from bandits. Kameina had spent a few years looking for Hiko’s family but eventually abandoned the quest. Besides, Hiko was perfectly fine living at the temple and enjoyed his family. Even if they were largely different from him appearance wise, they were all still the only family he ever knew.

One day, when Hiko was twenty, Kameina told him that it was time for his Kuesuto, an important part of his training to become a full-fledged Tsubasan monk. This would require him to go out into the world and travel around, learning important life lessons. The goal was not to return until you felt ready to answer one simple question, “What is the purpose of life”? To Hiko it seemed like an overly simple and yet vague question. One he thought would be easy for him to figure out an answer for.

But two years have already passed since he left his temple and he is no closer to figuring out an answer. Kameina told him that when he had the right answer he’d know, and he had full faith that Hiko would figure it out. Hiko took up a job doing construction in the city and made a living there for a few months before one day learning of the Tenkaichi Budokai tournament. Hiko had long missed the thrill of battle and hadn’t been able to really test himself in battle outside of the temple. Plus, he figured this would be a great experience for him that might bring him closer to attaining the wisdom he needed to return to Tsubasa Temple. So he signed up for the Tenkaichi Budokai and started training arduously for what was sure to be a fierce competition.

Techniques

Hariken: Hiko channels ki through his wings before flapping them vigorously. The result is a powerful ki-charged gust that sends his opponent flying backwards.

Aibore no Tsume: Hiko channels ki into either his claws or teeth, making them powerful enough to tear through even hard metals.

Akainami: Hiko builds up a large amount of ki in the pit of his stomach that he then fires out of his mouth in a powerful beam. This attack uses up a lot of energy and is usually saved as his trump card.
