Name: Iroh
Alias: "The Perfectionist", "The Quiet One"
Species: Ferrosian
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance:
Iroh is a young Ferrosian man that stands at a brief 6'0 - a most usual value for someone of such an age - and weights around a respectable amount of 160 pounds. A member of the Ferrite race, his blood cells contain a certain concentration of Iron Oxide. As a result, most features of his body are of a darker complexion compared to the Coprites, of which instead possess Carbon Oxide in their blood. Thus, the man inherits the tanned skin of his mother, while his hair and eye color, as black as night, are both similar to his father's.
Like most young Ferrosians, Iroh possesses a relatively trained body in the ways of Ki control, though it is relatively easy to misjudge his strength if only referring to his almost-immature-looking appearance. Instead of looking as proud as his parents, he instead adopts a much more relaxed - maybe even almost depressive - style, usually putting his hands in his pockets and looking ahead with his back slightly pushed forward. More often than not, the young man barely ever shows any emotion other than existential fatigue when he is not confronted with a situation that asks him to show any other emotion, such as happiness, sadness or anger, of which he most often conceals from public view behind a mask of emotional neutrality. This sort of modular state of psychology reflects well with his appearance, as his short hair is most often unkempt and his eyes almost always dreamy, like they are staring at something that does not exist.
When it comes to clothing, Iroh most often wears casual clothing that have been fabricated on Earth. He does not really enjoy being confined to an uniform and has often rejected the idea of wearing the Sentinel outfit, much like how his parents have done the same before escaping from Planet Ingot's in hopes of a better life. A hooded jacket and a pair of jeans is mostly always what he wishes for, though he can most often settle with a set that he could consider as plain, such as a t-shirt and shorts. Most usually, however, what will never change will be the black shoes that welcome his feet, of which is the only part of the Ferrosian Sentinel uniform he will ever accept due to how comfy he has considered them to be.
Quite curiously, Iroh also tends to wear glasses on his face whenever he wants to. They always tend to not possess any sort of glass inside and serve more as a curious habit that stemmed from genuine curiosity towards the antics of Humanity more than anything else.
History:
Not everyone has an incredibly exciting childhood.
Iroh was born on a relatively unknown and undiscovered planet that goes by the name of Planet Ingot. Child of two, he became a member of a small clan known as the Chromas the moment he was born, which was mostly known to be a clan which aimed for defence over offence in their territories. His parents, Lord Krom and Duchess Titania, were, at the time, both Sentinels that were on duty for their clan, making sure that no trespassers would dare to attack them. On their own, they were able to fend off a multitude of fiends that could have easily led their small civilization to global warfare and, thus, easily became the pride of their clan. As such, it was no real surprise that the Chroma clan had the same standards for the child that stemmed from their relationship.
Like the grand majority of the societies present on Planet Ingot, the Chroma clan makes sure that its offspring carries the strength of a dozen warriors. Iroh was no exception to that rule. Like his parents, he was taught how to use and manipulate the mystical energy of Ki from a very young age. Because of this, his childhood was not truly interesting, mostly resuming itself with multiple training sessions with a variety of trainers and, sometimes, his parents. However, because they were often on duty, Iroh was not ever really able to have a true family, instead relying on the other children he trained with to develop his social skills. Of course, this went very poorly as most of the other children - many who were born from merchants and slaves who were not strong enough to become Sentinels on their own - detested Iroh's presence, considering him to be nothing more than a product of luck more than anything else. As a result, the boy stood away from the other children and never tried to socialize with them again, which coincidentally made him train much more given that he had nothing much else to do with his life.
Once he reached eight years of age, Iroh was already quite a formidable weapon. On his own, he had triumphed in many challenges his trainers had put him through and had even beaten a lot of the other children in duels. At a certain point, effort became the least of his concern as he mostly finished off his opponents with one single punch. This lack of challenge made him grow bored, lazy and even a little bit depressed, seeing as no real danger ever came to their clan. Though he trained harder and harder, his questioning over his own reality became ever so stronger, until, finally, he grew simply too bored for his own needs and too powerful for the other children to handle. Eventually, it did not become too rare to see him meditate on his own in some places, contemplating the colours of the sky as he tried to find a proper purpose for his life, which was a rather depressing thing to do for someone so young despite signs of great intellect.
Then, suddenly, while he was meditating close to the training site he usually always strengthened his body, his parents appeared close to him, seeming to both be worried for what they were about to do. Before he could ask them what was going on without much thought or care behind it, his mother, Titania, told him that they were going to leave Planet Ingot in hope to live, instead, on another planet. Surprised by this, he had tried to ask why, but, soon enough, he got his explanation. Apparently, both his mother and his father wanted to leave their home planet because they thought that Iroh was becoming a soon-to-be warrior-slave, like most Sentinels were in this current time period of unnecessary war time. Somehow struck by such a decision, the child tried to object to this decision, saying that he was fine where he was and that he did not mind becoming a Sentinel just like his parents, but, knowing how his parents were, he simply gave up and did as they said, telling himself that he was not really super excited to become a Sentinel anyways.
They left Planet Ingot as soon as they possibly could once his decision had been made. It only took a day for them to leave from a secluded area on the planet on a small spaceship, and it only took them a matter of seconds to reach the dark and deep confounds of space, rushing amidst the stars as fast as possible as, sighing, Iroh would simply stare at the window as Planet Ingot's shape slowly became smaller and smaller until, eventually, it completely disappeared in the darkness. He did not do much during the travel (of course, there was not much to do in a space shuttle), but he was at least able to witness the formidable size of space. As they reached across the darkness, Iroh's favourite hobby was to simply stare at the window. He could have talked to his parents, yes, but, surprisingly, he was much less interested in doing so, which hurt their parents more than they could have ever thought.
The child did not know how long the travel lasted, but, eventually, they reached a certain planet that seemed hospitable. Not long after, they learned that the planet's name was "Earth". Though it was mostly covered with water, it had enough land on it to allow their survival. So, excited to live a new life, his parents quickly landed their ship in a forest. From here on out, they soon built a house on their own and, eventually, made themselves a peaceful life they both hoped would never really break apart into pitiful fighting just like on Planet Ingot.
The only person that was moderately unsatisfied with this way of life was Iroh, who, still bored out of his mind, couldn't help but feel that the wishes of his parents absolutely did not correlated with his own. His years of intensive training on Ingot left him a warrior and yet his parents wanted him to become some sort of farmer, or whatever they wanted him to become. As he lived most of his early life on Earth, he slowly grew accustomed to it all, but his thoughts still stood, and so he was left in a perpetual state of what seemed to be mental exhaustion due to the constant meditation and self-thought he did every day.
Finally, once he reached his nineteen years of age, he decided he had enough of it all and simply decided that it was time to leave. So much time spent on cultivating food and gathering water for survival alongside his parents left him wanting to do something else other than live this boring world. He decided, first of all, that he would explore Planet Earth, as he has never left the forest he has lived in ever since they arrived on Earth. Perhaps such a need for discovery will eventually become strong enough for him to become able to want to discover the very Universe itself...
...and perhaps find something that could suit his interest and hopefully bring something close to happiness in his mind once more.
Starting Planet: Planet Earth
Techniques:
Offensive
Iron Fist [N1] - A weaker version of the signature technique of one of the strongest Sentinels to have ever been born on Planet Ingot. Infusing his fist with Ki, Iroh pauses, then lunges forward towards his enemy with incredible speed before punching its stomach with surprising strength. Though the punch itself is already quite strong due to the concentration of Ki it is infused with, the strongest part of the attack happens a second after the attack, where the concentration of Ki held in Iroh's fist suddenly bursts in a small explosion.
Support
Afterimage [SU1] - A very basic technique that Iroh had to learn while he still lived on Planet Ingot. By the use of a quick and sudden burst of speed, the young man can leave an Afterimage that allows him to not only distract his opponent, but also completely dodge any attacks that are 100% underneath his Power Level. Such a technique uses 1 KP during KP Battles.
Utility
Flight [UT] - A very basic technique that Iroh had to learn while he still lived on Planet Ingot. By the use of Ki manipulation, the young man is able to make his body fly in the air whenever he wants to, thus allowing for aerial combat against other flying opponents.

Items:
-0 Zenni
-One-Use Pod
-Scouter (500z): Iroh's father's old scouter, used while he was still a fully-fledged Sentinel working for Planet Ingot's society. It was found - next to a corpse which seemed to own some sort of furry appendage - in a spacecraft that had crashed onto a small village located on Planet Ingot. Iroh's father stopped using it after he decided to live a peaceful life on Planet Earth along with his wife, himself unable to foreshadow any more battles in his family's near future. His son found it, however, lying in their house's basement among a multitude of old Human junk. A scouter can read a power level in exact numerals in addition to other functions for both living and non-living threats. The user can communicate between scouter comm channels and pick up on radio frequencies, and while in battle will remain aware of their opponents location on a constantly updated H.U.D.
