"Some say I'm always
angry.. Some say I'm a cruel,
violent man.. But when I look at my
arms, and I see the reflection of my back
in the mirror.. The memories flood.. The stories that
I tell.. They are all true. Take it easy.. Be nice.. I don't know
if I can. I don't say it to be mean.. But I just don't know if I can."
Theme: Broken Home by Papa Roach & Daddy by Korn
Name: Tinder Kie-Bei Tigemini
Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Tin, Red, Bull, The Red Bull - Tin was a name his mother gave him when he was three. It just sort of stuck. Red was a name he picked up growing up..one that followed him into military life. And The Red Bull was gained when he headbutted another recruit in the stomach repeatedly before running after the man when the man ran. He refused to back down. Commanding Officer Ren saw the whole thing and said that Tinder was just like a very angry bull. And was thus stuck with the name.. Due to the nickname, he's also gained the nickname Bull. Perhaps a lot of it having to do with the fact that he's quite the bully.

Some of them burn scars, others scars from where he had his arms encased in barbed wire, the wire jerked on while he was a boy. Left side, just under his armpit, he has a deep scar where he was struck with a whip that had missed his back when he cowered. Around his neck has deep scars that go the whole way around. Because of the scars, he wears a black dog collar to hide them. Across his back, are deep scars from a bullwhip that had spurs on the tip of the whip. It is because of the scars on his torso that he normally don't remove his shirt unless completely alone. The only scar he has that has really no way of hiding, is stretched across his right eye. It nearly blinded him..But it was from the same whip that gave him the scars on his back. He was lucky to be able to retain his sight in that eye. He tries to keep his hair over it, but it don't always work. If asked, he'll merely say it was a farming accident. Also across his right knuckles, he has bite scars from when Noukie Yakuma bit him.
Morality: Chaotic - He can be nice... But he's not good at it. Over the years, he's grown to just be rude and a rather big bully. Even at his age, he's still quite a vicious man. He grew up with abuse.. He grew in torture and fear. So when he got old enough to start defending himself, he began to bully others as a way to let the pain out..finding a form of relief when he saw the look of pain or insulted sadness on another's face.
Disability: His clothing. When told to lose his shirt to run drills so he's not over heating, he will flat out refuse. This has gotten him in trouble more than once. But he just flat out don't care. He's determined to not let others see the painful scars that cover his body. His past has also caused a sleeping disorder.. Sometimes he don't sleep for a day or two at a time. And then when he does crash, it's hard to wake him. He also has nightmares. He's actually woken up the entire cabin at one point by screaming and sitting up looking around wildly. His left hip is also another cause for concern. However he has never shown any problems with it. He's had that hip broken before. It was a miracle it even healed. Also due to the fact that he's never really been shown any kindness through-out his life, when it's offered now..He's really not sure how to respond to it. As such, he automatically assumes it's someone's way of lulling him into a false sense of security. As such, he instantly squishes it out, refusing the acts of kindness.
Allergies: Pears - They cause his tongue to swell to the point he can't eat, drink. And breathing becomes very difficult.
Blood Type: AB

Abilities: He's an excellent martial artist. But getting him to show he knows how to fight properly is like pulling teeth because he has a habit of just throwing his weight around like a bully would instead.
Weapons: Hands, Feet, Two Daggers
Other Important Items/Equipment: His collar. He sleeps with it on, trains with it on. The only time that leaves his thick neck is when he's getting a bath. But even then, the collar is kept close by.
Biography:
January 5th, 1990 - The squalling cries of a set of twins filled the bed chambers of the Tigemini family's home. The family was not of noble blood...But the family did have have a nice home at least. Small and squirming, the premature boys were handed to their father. The father of the boys would would name them Tinder and Sinder.
From a young age, the boys would quickly come to know pain. At the age of two, their father began to sexually abuse the boys. It lasted right up till they were nearly four.. When their mother found out about what her boys were being put through, she slapped their father hard enough to send him sprawling to the floor..Then of course, she told the boys it wasn't their fault..But their daddy was in trouble. Yet..their father would never see justice based punishment time. Their mother never ratted on him. From here on out though, life was not easy for the twins.
At the age of seven, since their father had been stopped in what he had been doing to the boys, he'd turn his attentions on making their lives miserable. He'd send them to the fields to work. So young.. And they worked the fields like common slaves. And they were not allowed to use the farm equipment. To plow the field, they had to dig with their hands. If either of them whined, they were corrected with a spur tipped bullwhip. The first time Tinder tried to stand up to his father, he was hit with the whip.. The thing slicing open just under his arm pit. His father, instead of offering to help Tinder afterwards, called him weak and kicked the boy in the stomach before pushing the child into mud. Then he was left there to cry.
Four years later, Tinder would be sent to their uncle's to live. Their parents had begun to try for more children.. Though at one point, Tinder's mother would pass away due to complications in the pregnancy once she had become pregnant. Life at their uncle's wasn't as bad. So long as their aunt was around, their uncle didn't hurt them. Perhaps because she didn't know of the awful things that Tinder's uncle was doing when she was away. While she was away, he'd force the boys do all the things that plantation styled slaves would do. They were forced to milk the cows, feed the animals, plow the field.. Just everyday things... Though just like it was back home.. They weren't allowed a sing tool to help.
At the age of thirteen, Tinder would go against his uncle. He had gotten a garden hoe to plow the field. When his uncle found out, Tinder would be punished by having his arms wrapped in barbed wire. Every time he mouthed off, the wire was jerked leaving deep wounds on his arms. What was worse, Tinder's brother would receive this punishment and he didn't do anything to deserve it... By the end of it, Tinder would be left with deep scars all over his arms from the elbows to the wrists.
During this time, the boys were locked in a tool shed. This was their living quarters. If they were caught in their uncle's home without their aunt home, they were whipped by a bullwhip. One night Tinder's brother had broken that rule.. He went in to ask for water. Their uncle flipped out.. Started slapping and hitting Sinder. The final blow however would take things over board. Sinder died that night when his neck was broken. Of course when Tinder asked where his brother was, his uncle merely responded with that he sold him into actual slavery.
Due to how he was being raised, Tinder was never allowed to make any friends. Nor was he allowed to tell anyone what was going on. As such, he'd begin to bottle it.. Something that'd eventually just fester to the point he started becoming a rude prick to those around him. Always quick to snap, insult or otherwise annoy another person. This would also completely destroy Tinder's ability to make friends. It became hard for him. When he tried to make friends, he'd always end up fucking it up in the end because of his uncle.
By the age of sixteen, Tinder would runaway. This would be a mistake for him. When he was found, he was beaten to near death by both his father and his uncle before he was denied food and water and locked in the tool shed again. When his father would feed him, he got nothing more than a sliver of cheese..and if he was lucky, a small cup of dirty water. He tried to stand up to his father and uncle one more time. This time would nearly leave him blind in one eye and a mute. He would be lucky to not lose his voice and the sight from the one eye. Though the the whip to the eye would leave a nasty scar and the punishment that went for his throat...Well the barbed wire would leave a horrible scar that went the whole way around his neck.
His salvation came a year later. A commanding officer by the name of Ren had stumbled upon the home in which Tinder resided with his uncle and father. Tinder's father would merely tell the man that the boy was worthless and would never amount to anything. Ren didn't care.. He had seen the boy wrestle a bull to the ground. He wanted the boy in the army. His father and uncle would say no before slamming the door shut... But Ren would go staright to Tinder next who was sitting on the bull he had been wrestling only moments before. The offer was made again.. Tinder would eagerly accept. That night he left and didn't look back. He didn't even take clothes with him. So once Ren got him somwher they could talk, he'd merely tell him that the army could use young talent like his...and that he wasn't in no way adoption another. Meaning Tinder wasn't being adopted..But he understood.
Over time, Tinder would come to call the army home. Though he still went back to China on leave. But... there were complications. Over all that time spent in abuse and in a bad situation, it made it so he really didn't know how to accept a friend when one was there as plain as day. And the way he was treated, he has come to quickly turn down anyone that offers him help...Seeing it as a possible trap.
