- He admires those with wisdom and experience and is known to acknowledge another man/woman's abilities when given the chance. Despite his initial childish demeanor, he becomes fiercely determined whenever the chance to test or display his skill is given. It is seen that when engaged in combat he maintains a slight smile on his face, be it he is at an advantage or disadvantage.
He considers fighting to be the purest form of a warrior's self-expression and tries to make each battle as much fun as he possibly can, even taking deadly risks to drag out fights for as long as possible. Hyoga will often be seen constantly smiling when engaging in a fight with a formidable opponent, having a sort of childish glee about him.
He considers the only honorable battles to be the ones fought one-on-one. Even the threat of death is not a reason to ignore this fact, for he believes the winner is only determined when the other dies.

Once Upon A Time
- Born to an honorable father and mother in a village outside of Kalzasi, Hyoga would learn the beauty of battle & magic at a very young age. His father was a Freelance monster hunter, finding honor and fame in slaying dangerous beast around the Karnor countryside, where his mother was an accomplished sorceress of skill to aid their village.
He spent most of his childhood learning the lifestyle of a warrior, as much as a young kid could grasp at that time. During these times he taught him both the joys and hardships of life itself, learning to accept the beauty in all things. They showed him many wonders of both his father's and mother's people and making sure to instill pride in his heritage.
His mother taught him the ways of magic, inscribing the rune of elementalism on him, and shepherding him in the art of rune magic. She instilled in him the importance of tranquility and being one with nature in order to commune and shape the elements to his will. It was tough, but Raiku pushed through his training.
His father, on the other hand, taught him lessons in combat. Hyoga learned the family business, both in theory in lectures and hands-on joining his father in the field. From ages 10-15, he was hard at work, training, and trying to perfect his skill with the only weapon that felt right in his hands, a spear.
Seeing the potential in his son, his father gave him the Rune of Reaving. This was the final step and with it, Hyoga learned an important lesson as a warrior, and that was no matter who your opponent is, fight as if it's your final battle. It was a lesson he would carry with him into every battle afterward.
Things seemed to be going so well for Hyoga, but tragedy soon struck him and his village after his 19th birthday. While out on a hunt the smell of smoke drifted in the air, the direction coming from where his village was. Rushing back he couldnt believe his eyes, as his village was ablaze in flame. Rushing in, he tried to soothe the flames engulfing his village but they were too loud to listen to him, too powerful.
He immediately tried to find his parents, but he didnt know he would find them as he did. His mother was clinging to life, only for him to witness his father being slain before him. As his father fell Hyoga saw them, their forms covered in shadow from the raging flames. Five grisly shadows stared down at him, one of which he only recognized as a fellow Avialae by their wings.
"If you hate us enough to seek revenge for what we did, then come find us when you are stronger, till then try not to die as the last son of the Yoko Clan." a feminine voice hissed to him, the figures vanishing within the flames. Tears pouring from his eyes he let out a cry of anger, pain, and sorrow. Taking his mother in his arms, he went to go take her to get help, but she refused and told him that it was already too late for her.
She told him she was sorry for not telling him about his father's clan sooner, that she failed as a parent to protect her baby boy. With her final breath, she told him how proud of him she was, for being so strong and talented. She told him to seek out her sister in Kalzasi, as she would be able to help Hyoga in his journey.
With that, she died in his arms, to which he spent the next five hours sobbing uncontrollably. On the next day, Hyoga buried his mother and father, and soon after, left on a journey of self-discovery and honing his skills. For 6 years Hyoga traveled around the Northern Free cities, earning a living as a monster slayer as well as honing his craft in magic and combat.
At the end of his journey, Hyoga sought out his auntie like his mother instructed, coming to find himself in the city of Kalzasi.
