The Murim Realm

Baek Joon is a tall, muscular man with a hardened expression, his body covered in faded scars from countless battles. His dark hair is tied back tightly, exposing his sharp, angular face and intense eyes. He wears a sleeveless martial robe that reveals his powerful arms and a chest branded with the arena’s sigil. Around his waist is a black sash adorned with golden embroidery, and his forearms are wrapped in bloodstained bandages from his fights. He carries no weapons, relying solely on his iron fists and sheer physical power.

Baek Joon is a stoic and disciplined individual, speaking little but acting with immense focus. He holds deep respect for tradition and order, which makes him predictable in his adherence to rules but also unshakable in his resolve. His strength comes from his unyielding discipline, but it also leaves him inflexible when faced with unconventional fighters. Despite his rough exterior, he harbors a soft spot for younger martial artists, quietly encouraging them to push their limits.

Born into a minor martial clan in Heaven’s Peak City, Baek Joon grew up in the shadow of greater houses but made a name for himself in the arena through sheer determination. His father, a once-respected martial artist, lost his status after a dishonorable defeat, leaving Baek Joon with a chip on his shoulder. Seeking to reclaim his family's honor, he fought his way through every opponent the Broken Horn Arena threw at him. Over time, he honed his body and spirit to perfection, rising to become the reigning champion.
