Hwoarang (Earth-19999)

Hwoarang (Hangul: 화랑; Hanja: 花郎) is a major secondary protagonist in the Mortal Fighter Series who first appeared in Mortal Fighter III and has returned in all subsequent games. He is the Taekwondo student of Baek Doo San, and entered the third Mortal Fighter-King of Iron Fist Tournament to get revenge on Ogre for "killing" his master. He has also become Ken Masters' rival after the two fought to a draw in one of Hwoarang's street matches before the events of the game.

Early Life
Hwoarang begun his life as a student of Taekwondo who works out at Baek Doo San's dojo. Hwoarang made a lot of money through dishonest gambling wagers. As part of what's called a fraud team, he and other members picked fights for money. They manipulated the odds by concealing their true strength. Hwoarang escalated the odds against him and made what appears to be a foolish wager. His opponents soon realize they're the real fools when Hwoarang soundly beats each and every one of them.
