Description:
When he looks into the mirror he does not see a human form, he sees systematic equations made out of letters and shapes. He is a giant in a tiny, tiny world; a splash of color in a pool of gray. Confidence sinks all the way down to his bones, and when he walks his head is held high and a smirk quirks the corner of his mouth upwards. Bang is the picture of arrogance, each move is practiced with grace and is a display of his own assurance. His skin is pale, in which he would describe as a shade of frosted glass or newspaper. Scars of his are shown off with pride, it's only too bad that he doesn't have many to speak of, but Bang would insist that his near flawless skin only proves himself to be deific. He is not an individual that makes others comfortable in his presence, not when his cat-like eyes are always watching, picking everything apart carefully in an cavalcade of delirium. Those iris' of his seem to have a mind of their own, their colors switching at random, nonsensical like their owner. In his vanity Bang keep his hair dyed a dark black-blue with strips of pink mingled in, making him even more eye catching. It's unfortunate for him that he is not very imposing, not with his slender body and spindly limbs. Bang tries to make up for this in his multiple ear piercings and with his colorful clothes he ends up looking more like a juvenile delinquent than a proper witch, yet he relishes in this type of deception.

Skill(s)/Ability(s):
o Physical Ability o He does not excel in brute strength, nor is he an expert of hand-to-hand combat. Agility, flexibility and evasion are what he focuses on. His abilities are better suiting for mid-range therefore he avoids getting too close to other people in a fight, and will hardly ever land a physical hit on them. Rather, Bang spends most of his fights moving, never staying in one place, easily done thanks to his built up endurance. Flipping and climbing come easy to him, and he uses his physical ability to confuse or tire out opponents. Due to his physical weakness he prefers dodging attacks because being forced to block them will interrupt his barraging attacks.
o Connoisseur of Staffs o Since he lacks physical strength Bang often fights with a staff, although again he will rarely land physical hits on an opponent. Rather, he uses the staff to aid him in directing his fire spells in addition to using it to get people to move the way he wants them to. Bang will often use it as if he is trying to land a blow on them, but this isn't true, and his methods are more tricky than that. With his staff he will purposely allow people to evade as a means to getting them to a certain spot or to keep them from attacking, or counterattacking. In dire situations he will use his staff more offensively, or when he is not using magic (Such as to prevent soul protect from being broken) or when he cannot use it, or is conserving it.
o "Haetae, Xiezhi, Haechi, Haitai." o Bang's animal theme revolves around that of the mythological 'Haechi', which is where most of his abilities are drawn from. Like most witches he must use a chant when using certain, more difficult spells. Taking a look away from the mythological aspect, a lion would be the true animal his magic is connected with.
o Fire Breathing and Manipulation o Fire is the center of Bang's magic, his lungs are charcoal black and he breaths out dark, miniature storm clouds. Like the legends of the Haechi he is able to eat and breath flames that will burn everything in his path. His fingers are connected to invisible puppet wires that control the element of destruction, able to create a ballet of calamity and ash. However Bang cannot make fire out of nothing, and much exhale flames if any are to be born from his magic, meaning that in an area that is void of flames, if his mouth is shut he would be unable to use this ability at all.
o Growling Bombs o A spell that he must use a vocalized chant for, Bang can summon small bombs in the shape of Haechi heads. Laments of explosions allow him to live up to his name, as they get their title from the growling sound they make before exploding.
o Soul Protect o As the witches' soul wavelength can be easily distinguished by trained meisters, they developed an incantation named "soul protect" which conceals their presence, but renders them unable to use their powers unless the incantation is lifted.
o Flight o Most, if not all, witches have the ability to fly. This done by simply floating in the air, or flying on a broomstick, where Bang often uses his staff.
o Longevity o Compared to humans witches have incredibly long life spans, meaning that witches have more youth.
o Portal Manifestation o Witches can easily conjure portals to the witches's realm. Apparently there is a rule that the youngest witch must open the portal. The portal has to be made through a witches body leaving a question as to the phrases meaning.
o Magic o As a Witch Bang has access to various magical techniques, where most of his spells revolve around fire, or taking the shape of Haechis.

Personality:
Bang can easily be described as an eccentric; nothing he does seems to have rhythm or rhyme, let alone make any sense. His world is a fractal image made out of colors that he can see, metaphorically, of course. Every observation he makes is more silly than anything else, that or cynical or sarcastic, and he has no problem with sharing his opinion. Not to mention that many of the things he says are lies out of nonsense, opposed to being out of a vulpine quality. Arrogant is one of the strongest of his personality traits, and it often leads to him acting before thinking due to his overwhelming confidence. He has little concern for anyone, or anything, besides himself and his own entertainment. This is problematic, given that like many witches he finds destruction to be the highest form of pleasure.
He is not an overly, ultra violent person though. He spreads chaos through arson and explosions, but these tactics are less fear mongering and more for his own amusement. Very rarely will he initiate an actual fight, and murdering someone intentionally is also a rarity for him - as he will typically only kill someone if it's necessary for him to live. Bang thinks people are toys, and they are no use to him dead, therefore he will avoid killing someone if he can help it. Calling him psychopathic would be too easy, but it also wouldn't be completely inaccurate, as dangerous activity is the only thing that gets the adrenaline pumping, and is he positively in love with that.
The second strongest point of his personality is how terribly emotional he is. With his composure he seems to be a man with a sick sense of humor and a cold heart, but this simply isn't true. Bang is a man ruled by his emotions, and the reason behind his ability to hold himself as if he is a God amongst mortals is how he in fact, feels like a God amongst mortals. You could say that he is a bit delusional. He is irascible, and making him as angry as his flames isn't a hard task. Bang will vocalize his rage in screams and his movements will become more aggressive, but it doesn't end at ecstasy and wrath. The witch is also easily brought into tears and depressions, to the point of it being unsightly and deliberating. Fear can paralyze him and excitement will drag him along a patchwork road, and what triggers these strong emotions are often a mystery and of course, fickle.
Yet overall he seems carefree, although in total discord. He had no need for complex plans, nor is he interested in the fight between 'good and evil'. Alliances are nonexistent for him and he will side with anyone he pleases, as long as it holds his interest. He is rather simple minded, focusing on the childish need to be entertained rather on long-terms goals, let along a dull war he doesn't care about. There is a lot Bang doesn't understand, often brushed off in his insensitive tendencies, and he usually doesn't care to listen. Nothing but having fun matters, and he'd rather engage in laughter and smoke than battle and blood.
History:
Four hundred years ago Bang Byunghee was born in Korea as a son from a clan of witches that related their abilities to creatures in Korean mythology. He was expected to be of witch descent, but unable to harness any of the power like many of the males in their clan, but peeking into his soul proved them to be terribly wrong. As he grew older the clan began to train him to follow the strict rules of the clan and to control and use his abilities. Magic and physical skills were both trained here in schedules and an impersonal atmosphere. The clan was cold and uncaring, their only interest lying in power.
When he stopped being a foolish child Bang began to resent the clan and their regulations, finding everything about it oh so boring. He hated how they were supposed to act like stone statues, hated how every decision was made by superiors, hated everyone and everything that they muttered, hated being patronized day after day. Yet Bang did not rebel, he continued with his studies and training, allowed himself to become a tool, knowing that if he was ever going to get stronger, to be as strong as the female witches in the clan, he had to allow himself to be taught by the elders. Eventually he began to pick up his own unique abilities, learning how to tame flames and breath like a Haechi.
He didn't snap until his parents told him that he was to become someone that administered punishment within the clan one day, someone who decided what was just and what betrayed the clan, and he lashed out against his destiny being chosen for him. Their buildings burnt in the bodies of fire, but this did not result in mass murder. Rather, he had a price on his head as a traitor and spent many years of his long life running from those that sought to kill him. As his abilities grew stronger he grew more arrogant, whenever he could trap and kill a member of the clan that was after him, or leave them to meister and weapon pairs, he felt himself having fun of all things.
Eventually, thanks to himself and the DWMA, the rest of the clan was eliminated, and he believes himself to be the only remaining witch of the clan. Here is when Bang truly began living as he liked, bringing chaos wherever he went and evading meisters and their weapons. He has only himself at interest, but he still attends witch mass regularly, finding himself some recognition from surviving the assault of siblings and those that hunt their kind. Still, he has plenty of room for improvement, and continues to seek ways that will make him stronger, as long as it's fun.
Other:
o Last-Name-First-Name o His surname is Bang, his given name is Byunghee, yet he largely prefers to just be called 'Bang' in the English version of a noun. Bang will claim that this suits him much better and despises people calling him by his given name. If there's any way to make him angry, it's by calling him 'Byunghee'. If someone is able to call him by his given name and not turn him ireful, well, it either means he's planning something particularly terrible for them or is fond of them.
o Sweet Infatuation o Bang has a certain love for sweet food, especially those that could be considered sickeningly so. Often enough he is carrying some sort of candy on his person, and finds himself easily distracted by something temptingly delicious.
