Physical Information
Build
- Hair/Skin - Black, semi long, reaches down to the middle of his shoulder blades even when in a ponytail. It is often kept in a ponytail so as to keep it out of the way. His hair is styled in a way that would be more befitting of a Jamaican, thick dreadlocks. He has a tanned skin tone. No scarring's or tattoo's.
- Head - He has a very slim face with, a pointed jaw line. He has a thin nose, slightly upturned tip. His eyes, are a dazzling green but are often half open as if he is half asleep. He has a slender neck, and jaw line. He has a light stubbled growth on his chin and cheeks.
- Chest/Arms - For his age he has a very well defined body, smooth, straight edged shoulders. Well packed chest, no scarring or sagging. He is one who has carried his world on his back for a long time and is still able to walk tall. He has a very good posture, as to the reason of his broad shoulders. His tanned skin on his face and arms make his chest and stomach seem paler than they actually are.
- Torso/Back - Armando's lithe form is not only accentuated in his arms. His stomach is chiseled, his skin even though built is still smooth and tanned. Armando has a thin waist and a very flexible waist. His spine is straight as an arrow, with excellent posture which makes it easier for him to bend and move. He believes it is easier to bend like a willow in a strong breeze than break like a fir tree. His back is un-scarred and muscular, the backs of his shoulder's are very muscular.
- Legs/Feet - Armando's legs are strong, flexible and above all else, healthy. His joints move with ease, allowing him to twist and turn, bound and spring freely with no pain. His calves and thighs are large and powerful. All muscle, thats what his legs are. They definitely show that his frame is built more for speed than strength, this shows it more so than his thinner frame.

Fighting Information
Fighting Style: Tae Kwon Do
Years Practiced:8
Description of style:
Tae Kwon Do: In Korean, derived from hanja, tae means "to kick or destroy with the foot"; kwon means "fist"; and do means "way" or "art". Hence, taekwondo is loosely translated as "the art of hand and foot" or "the way of the foot and the fist". Taekwondo's popularity has resulted in the divergent evolution of the art. As with many other martial arts, taekwondo is a combination of combat technique, self-defense, sport, exercise, entertainment, and philosophy.
Some Moves :
Front Kick (ap chagi): This is a very linear kick. The practitioner raises their knee to their waist, pulls their toes back and quickly extends their foot at an opponent. It is also known as the snap kick.
Side Kick (yop chagi): A very powerful kick that has somewhat fallen out of favor as competition has become progressively faster. The technique is very similar to the roundhouse, first the practitioner raises his knee and turns but instead of striking with the instep, they strike with the side or heel of their foot.
Turning Kick (dollyo chagi): The practitioner raises their knee, turns, pulls their toes back and extends the kick horizontally across his target.
Hook Kick (ap hurya chagi): A less popular kick traditionally, it has found increasing favor in modern competitions. The practitioner raises the knee in a fashion similar to the side kick, then extends the foot in a dorsal arc (would be clock-wise for the right foot) with the heel as the intended striking weapon. This is also known as the front hook kick.
Axe Kick (naeryo chagi): Another kick that has increased in popularity due to sparring competitons. The knee is raised in front of the body, the leg then extended and pulled down with the heel pointed downward. It is typically targeted toward the head or shoulders and requires significant flexibility to employ effectively. There are many styles of axe kicks. They are also known as downward kicks.
Crescent Kick (chiki chagi): There are two variations of this kick; outer cresent and the inner cresent. In outer, the practitioner raises the extended leg as high as he can, and slightly across the body, (a bit to the side of the intended target), they then sweep to the side in a circular (crescent) movement. For the inner, the motions are the same, but the direction of the kick changes, this time originating from the outside of the body, heading towards the inside of the body.
Spin Kicks (dwet chagi): There are a number of spinning kicks that involve the rotation of the entire body before the kick is released. Spinning kicks include the spinning side kick (dwet chagi), spinning hook kick (dwet hurya chagi), spinning axe kick, returning kick, and a number of other kicks of varying popularity.
Jump Kicks (twimyo chagi): There are also a number of kicks that involve jumping before their execution. These include jumping front kick (twimyo ap chagi), jumping side kick (twimyo yop chagi), flying side kick, jumping roundhouse (twimyo dollyo chagi) (sometimes referred to as butterfly kick, although this term is at times used for a distinct kick separate from the jumping roundhouse), jumping spinning hook kick, shuffle jump kick, and jump spinning side kick.
