Ending, Rival (Unofficial Synopsis) Hwoarang is sitting down in an alleyway, holding a trophy (that is a gold version of Heihachi's head). He will participate in the tournament, beat Jin Kazama and seek revenge against the God of Fighting. The God of Fighting claims Baek as yet another victim. Sickened at the thought of having to tell his teacher Baek the bad news, Hwoarang vows to practice every day to guarantee that it would never happen again. He hangs his head in disbelief at the first blemish in his perfect career. Hwoarang embarrassingly can only manage a draw. Hwoarang talks them into his game and is matched against Jin. One day, members of the Mishima Group came to town, including among them Jin Kazama. His opponents soon realize they're the real fools when Hwoarang soundly beats each and every one of them. He escalates the odds against him and makes what appears to be a foolish wager. They manipulate the odds by concealing their true strength. As part of what's called a fraud team, he and other members pick fights for money. Story Prologue (Manual) A student of Tae Kwan Do who works out at Baek Doo San's dojo, Hwoarang makes a lot of money through dishonest gambling wagers. Tekken 3 screenshot: Hwoarang VS Hwoarang. His title in the original trilogy is Blood Talon. These can commonly be found in the back of most of his biker outfits along with most of his doboks and pants for his standard Taekwondo uniform All his outfits except his military uniform and his original dobok seem to feature a hawk emblem which is in reference to Hwoarang's nickname Blood Talon. His outfit will always consist of a biker-themed outfit with goggles or his blue or white Taekwondo dobok (with the exception of Tekken 4). Though he can show aggression and belittlement to people, he has shown humility and concern for those who he cares about, most evidently Baek. He's known for his distinctly orange and auburn hair. He also edited moves like Baek's Sky Blaster to his Sky Rocket. He also retains variations of many moves he learned from Baek such as his Hunting Hawk and Dynamite Heel.

Due to his flamingo stances and which foot is forward stance he is considered by players as a good poker with fast strings (which is also seen in Taekwondo users like Juri Han and Baek). Most players, however, consider him as one of the hardest characters to learn as he has a high amount of stances and thus needs to be analyzed properly. He is often called cheap by people due to the fact that he will usually kick and rarely punches (this resulted with people mashing his kick buttons). Despite his brash and cocky nature, he has shown great integrity in terms of fights and a strong determination to defeat his rival without interruption or interferences.

He has also shown himself to be one of the strongest characters in the series as he had defeated Jin. Like many rivals, he has also shown some friendliness to his rival, Jin on many occasions. Like many rivals of the protagonist of a fighting game (such as Street Fighter's Sagat) he is often portrayed as an arrogant and brash person, who initially had a win streak of some sort and had failed to beat the "protagonist". He has also become Jin Kazama's rival after the two fought to a draw in one of Hwoarang's street matches. He is the Taekwondo student of Baek Doo San, and entered the third Tournament to get revenge on Ogre for "killing" his master. Hwoarang (Hangul: 화랑 Hanja: 花郎 Hwarang Japanese: ファラン Faran) first appeared in Tekken 3, and returned in all subsequent games.
