Tiger Guardian (Taesoo Kim)
Tiger Guardian (Taesoo Kim)
Type: Defensive
DOB: 02/14/1987
Star Sign: Aquarius
Nationality: Korean
Appearance: Standing at 6’3”, Taesoo is broad-shouldered and refined, his body marked by deep scars and covered in tiger-striped fur. His golden eyes carry the weight of a commander and the patience of a scholar. Though his tailored vests, crimson ties, and dress shirts project professor’s poise, his clawed hands and muscular frame reveal his history as a hero. In his hero suit, black obsidian armor glows faintly with green circuitry—scarred from his role during the Seoul collapse.
Hero Outfit: Taesoo’s armor is functional and symbolic, a hybrid of obsidian plating and adaptive circuitry designed to withstand seismic force. His chest plate is marked by claw scars from past battles, deliberately left unrepaired. The crimson sash across his torso carries Paragon’s emblem, identifying him as both survivor and strategist.
Daily Outfit: As Dean, he favors refined professionalism: tailored vests, sleeved dress shirts, and crimson ties. He moves with disciplined grace, even in quiet moments on campus. His attire always carries a touch of tradition, from engraved cufflinks to silk-threaded knot pins, reminders of heritage woven into authority.

Classification: Mutation
Taesoo’s Quirk grants tiger-like strength, enhanced senses, and neuromuscular refinement. His body adapts instantly to high-impact environments, capable of both subtle defense and devastating strikes.
Strata Grip: Wall-climbing and immobilization using micro-muscular control.
Instinct Lock: Reflexive countering of surprise attacks.
Guardian Stand: An unyielding brace stance that held during the Seoul collapse, saving countless lives.
Limitations: Extended use of Instinct Lock leads to sensory overload and neuromuscular burnout, forcing rest periods.
His past
His past
Born with a tiger mutation in a society still uneasy about hybrid quirks, Taesoo faced early prejudice. Through discipline, intellect, and martial training, he rose to Korea’s top 20 heroes as Tiger Guardian. At 33, a near-fatal rescue forced him to retire from active hero duty. Choosing education over glory, he reshaped public discourse by proving heroism could exist beyond the battlefield. After teaching in the Department of Quirk Studies and Ethics, he was appointed Dean of Paragon University, where he oversees the next generation of heroes.
