Personality:
Tapion's personality has a slight twist. Before any wrong doing happened, and his brother was still very much in his life, Tapion was loving and caring. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. His interests in fighting were merely a spark; a background interest, as his brothers musical talent took up most of the families time and money. Just like a rainy night with dark cloud though, everything changed, Tapion changed. After his brother went missing, Tapion became cold and blunt. He began to retreat from his circle of friends and become intent on finding who took his brother and seek revenge upon them. Tapion's temper also shorted, and has found himself in trouble several times because of this. From being friendly and calm, Tapion is now independent and motivated for one purpose only. Tapion does not speak much, as he feels at fault for his brothers disappearance. On the inside however, Tapion remains the same, but feels guilty to show happiness or joy. Rarely does he smile, and hasn't laughed since the disappearance of his brother. His heart beats just like any other, but is cursed with the feeling of emptiness and frustration. He wishes solely to seek revenge, and promises to hold no mercy on his brothers kidnappers.

History:
Tapion was born in Balamb Town 19 years ago in a typical family environment. He is the middle child, with an older sister and a younger brother, named Minosha, who is 12. Tapion was gifted with his fighting talents and often considered joining the army, but felt as though his responsibilities as an older brother were more important. His relationship with his family was close, however his relationship with his younger musically talented brother was closer. It was a bond where they almost knew what each other were thinking. They both cared about each other so much and Tapion constantly encouraged his brother to believe and have faith. This helped the 12 year old to become extremely talented with his musical instrument. The instrument that Minosha played was a special flute. It was always said that this flute was to be worth a lot of money. Therefore it was Tapion's responsibility to hold onto the valuable item.
Life was good. Tapion and his family where enrolled in a typical family routine, however, everything changed. A dark heavy shower moved in upon the town bringing with it a black cloud covering the streets and buildings alike. Tapion was running home with Minosha trying to shield themselves from the rain with their hoods. They both were pushing each other like normal brothers do, however, in a split second, this casual fun turned into an event which would scape Tapion and his future.
With a crack of lighting, Tapion was attacked from behind. For the next few hours he laid unconscious on the cold, empty street. Rain continued to fall flattening Tapion's spiked red hair and glittering his clothes with the reflection of the buildings around him. When Tapion awoke, he felt sore and the back of his head had a rough bump from where he had been jumped. This was just the beginning of his worries. Realizing what had happened, he frantically started looking for his brother yelling as he ran hopelessly through the lonely streets of his town. After hours and hours of searching, dawn began to break through, clearing the rain clouds and allowing the sun to begin it's rise.
Tapion obviously knew that whoever jumped him, took his brother. In fury and anger, Tapion dropped to his knee's slamming the hard stone with all his might. He screamed in angry as his eyes lit up with fiery surface. Tapion's emotions began to run wild, he was unable to control them. This is where Tapion first learned his ability 'Response to a Need'. His body started to glow red with pure energy, still tears rolling down his face. Standing up Tapion clenched his fists and pointed his head up into the morning sky. Muttering a few words, Tapion gave a final yelp of anger and emotion before falling extremely tired and unconscious.
Being awoken by a young boy, Tapion immediately grasped the boy by his shoulders. The boy struggled and Tapion let go, feeling extremely tired from his newly learned ability. Slowly stumbling home, Tapion walked in the door, as all his family greeted him with relief. However this quickly changed to despair as Minosha was no where to be seen. Tapion's expression said it all as he stared to the ground in disbelief. Entering the house Tapion explained what he remembered, only to be greeted by a slap from his mother and a disgusting look from his sister. Yelling could be heard within the house all down the street. Tapion felt the pain of his family and shed one last tear before being told to "not return until your brother is found".
RP sample:
It was a cold and damp night, the streetlights flickered with fury. Tapion stood gazing up into the sky, barely able to see any stars in the distance. His greatsword strapped to his back, shifted slightly as he adjusted his fittings. Round his neck, held attached by a simple piece of string, was his brothers instrument. It was ironic how he could look after a piece of equipment better than he could look after his own flesh and blood. A couple days had past since the attack and his brothers disappearance. But the anger and frustration flared through his blood, bringing it to the boiling point. Constantly Tapion had to control his emotion, as he wanted to explode with his new ability. Repeating the words of his family, Tapion focused himself and continued searching the streets of Balamb Town.
Day turned to night for several days, Tapion looked everywhere, asked everyone, but to no avail. After what happened, Tapion was constantly on guard in case of another attack, but feared that the attackers got what they wanted; Minosha. Although Tapion fully understood the words of his family, he couldn't help but feel as though they needed him deep down. Sometimes the shock of loss can be so great it blinds reality, as Tapion recently found out with a slap across his face. Bluntly ignoring a man asking for directions, Tapion's attention was drawn to the distance as he could hear screams and shouts. On the outside he didn't appear to care; but inside, his heart was racing with motivation, just hoping the attackers had returned. Without a second thought, Tapion jumped over a wall, using just one hand to push his toned body. Running as quickly as he could, Tapion rushed past members of the public, even knocking one over by mistake. Anger was boiling the closer he got, rage started to appear in his eyes as his hands flickered with magical fire. Upon arriving at the scene, he was amazed to find out the screaming was not because of an attacker, but because of a fire. In disbelief, Tapion's eyes exploded as he realized it was his parents house. Running past the crowd and pushing over the public who were stopping anyone from getting to close, Tapion jumped into the flames smashing the wooden door down.
His body flared up as he climbed over bits of furniture, the whole house had been trashed. Glass was everywhere, and blood could be seen dragged along the floor. Punching threw a piece of burning would, Tapion's hand's began to glow red as his magical powers tried to escape him. Rushing past more fallen property, Tapion set eyes on his injured sister, who was sitting against the kitchen counter on the floor, grasping her arm. Kneeling next to her, the ceiling began to fall, pieces knocking into each other all around the two. Tapion yelled among the flames, " What happened, we need to get out of here!" The reply was short and chilling, "Brother.... they came.... they were looking for Minosha's instrument.... they did this... they're looking for you now.... i'm... s..sorry...."
His sister died in his arms, flames continued to rage around him and the dead body he was now holding. With a loud thud, the ceiling fell through bringing down the upstairs with it. Tapion dived out the way into a hole which fell though to the basement. Swiftly moving, Tapion looked for the stairs, only to find they were heavily blocked with flames and broken structures. Turning his attention to a wooden wall on the far side of the broken basement, Tapion ran toward it withdrawing his sword and swinging at the fragile wall. With one smash the wood collapsed and Tapion jumped through just as the whole house exploded with fire once more. Taking a deep breath, Tapion stood staring at the fallen house. As it burned with the dead bodies of his parents and sister, so did his emotion.

Would 3 Posts for the 'Response to a Need' be fair and reasonable. And for 'Fury of Revenge', would x1.5 Damage be acceptable for a character at the creation level?
