Background Information
Seran was born in Deiling city and at the beginning of his life he lived a simple one, his father, Bavric Roken, serving as an Officer of the Galbadian army and his mother, Ryina Roken, a teacher in the city. At first he began simple training as he prepared to join Galbadia garden with the hopes of joining his fathers’ ranks when he was capable enough. Years passed as his training intensified and eventually he enrolled into Galbadian Garden. It was not long before he was enlisted into the army as a soldier, the first day he put on his uniform being one a great pride. Still ignorant to the world Seran still held a rather schoolboy idea of right and wrong.
As all good things come to an end, his dreams of becoming an officer in the great Galbadian army did as well as he witnessed the unlawful and treacherous acts of his fathers platoon on the streets of Timber. While the Galbadian army were not all as dreadful as those whom served with his father, he could not forgive the actions he saw as they went against everything he believed in. Seran had always been a serious child, who yelled when he lost anger instead of cried, and the action of the Galbadian soldiers he witnessed once again woke his constant anger that he had quelled in his training and disciplining. Doubts and fear increased in the young soldier as to where the road he walked was taking him.
Not long after the incident his parents split as Bavric became more and more obsessed with power and authority and less interest in those he was supposedly caring for. As his mother left she offered Seran an escape of the pit his father was dragging him down, that being to leave with her to meet her brother in Balamb town. Going against his own code of honor, Seran accepted his mothers offer and after finding an escape from the army he left Galbadia. On arrival in Balamb town his uncle proposed Serans fighting ability be put to good use and convinced him to enrol in the famous Balamb Garden, as well as past enemy. He did so, swearing never to retreat from his duty again as he did in Galbadia.
History at Balamb Garden
Seran as kept himself to himself mostly while in the academy of Balamb Garden, fighting when he was needed and always preparing for the future SeeD exam should he ever reach it. Duty is everything to him and this has left little time to socialise with the others of Balamb. However more recently he has been attempting to connect more so with the other students, to perhaps make a friend or two.
Personallity
Strong hearted and stern man with his mind always on the mission and what needs to be done. No nonsense when times are critical he is someone you can rely on in a crisis of battle and trust to keep his head in mayhem, however when it comes to more emotional matters he fumbles out like a wet sheet of paper. At first impressions, he appears to be a very serious and intelligent man with a hard stone like expression, eying the movements he deems interesting and ignoring those he doesn’t. He isn’t one to speak volumes with words, from past experiences; he believes it is easier to speak with actions to get jobs done.
While engaged in battle he keeps is constant small frown only really showing anger in his expression when struggling yet keeping himself to himself and only being concerned with the battle at hand. He detests failing at a mission and follows every mission to the word. He enjoys succeeding and winning, be it in a mission or a game considering he is a sore loser. He dislikes to retreat from missions or battles, however if someone he considers important to him needs to fall back, he will do what is needed to save them. Even though he follows his orders very closely his morals and sense of right and wrong are extremely strong.
Limit Break Information
Serans’ limit breaks focus on opening the Four mental gateways in his mind which increase his strength and durability or other such traits. He can only open the said gates for a five minute time frame to drastically increase his power. If Seran uses his special attack in the limit break the gate closes afterwards. The longer he waits in his powered form, the weaker the attack is.
Gate of Power
Using this limit forcibly increases his physical strength and temporarily re-energizes the body. Allows him to use the attack 'Phoenix Spark', a powerful punch which appears to form the head of a flaming bird.
Gate of Pain
Using this limit increases Serans’ speed and power making him faster than haste with more impact. If he pushes himself too fast he could tear muscle tissue as a result. Allows him to use the attack 'Afternoon Tiger', a series of swift kicks.
Gate of Life
Using this limit raises Serans’ endurance and resistance to pain, allowing him to fight no matter what punishment for the said time period. While not feeling wounds on the same level during the limit, once the time is up he’ll certainly feel them. Easy to be reckless in. Allows him to use the attack 'Table Top Twist' where he grabs his enemy and spins downwards in the air, slamming their head down into the ground upside down.
Gate of Death
Using this limit gives Seran the whole above package, making him for a short period of time a close combat beast. While using the final limit break the time period is shorter as it unleashes alot more power, used more as a trump card against a more powerful enemy or in a drastic situation. Allows him to use the attack, 'Good Morning Sunshine', where Serans' punches in a rapid onslaught of flaming swift strikes with his fists.
