Hwang Seong-gyeong (黄 星京 ''Fan Songyon'' ) is a Fictional character designed for the '''''Soul'' Series''' of Fighting Games . Commonly known as Hwang, he made his first appearance in '' Soul Edge '' and has returned for '' Soul Calibur ''. Hwang also appears as an unlockable peripheral character in '' Soul Calibur III '', and his bio can be found in Namco's Hometek Page. Prior to '' Soul Calibur III '', his name was written as '''Hwang Sung Kyung'''. BIOGRAPHY Hwang Seong-gyeong had been born to parents who, while poor, still had a strong sense of justice, but this resolve was what led to their downfall. He grew up hardened and eventually enrolled himself in the Seong Dojo to learn to use the Long Blade . It didn't take him long to become the best student in the dojo and was eventually deemed good enough to be taught a private lesson by the master himself, Seong Han-myeong . The master was happy to have such a gifted student and was even considering adopting him as his son. However, he never had a chance to do so, and his daughter, Seong Mi-na , was only friends with Hwang, with mutual lack of desire to make the relationship anything more than friendship. Facing increasing incursions from Japanese raiders, a coast guard was quickly formed and led by Admiral Lee Sun Shin , with Hwang as the first to volunteer. Rumours of Soul Edge , deemed the "Sword of Salvation", spread to Korea , and Lee Sun Shin sent him to go and find it. On his quest to find the "Sword of Salvation," he received news of an impending Japanese invasion of his homeland. He cut his search short and returned home, dragging Seong Mi-na, who had run away to find the Soul Edge herself, home with him. He rejoined the Coast Guard as Commander , but shortly thereafter, he received news from a new recruit, Kong Xiuqiang, that Mi-na had run away again. Angered and worried by this, he lost his better judgment and led his crew into a trap set by the Pirates of the Ryukyu Kingdom , and many lives were lost. Lee Sun Shin sympathized with his worry over Mi-na's well-being, but was nevertheless obliged to dismiss him from the Coast Guard. Instead, he gave him a new set of orders. He was to aid Seong Han-myeong by finding Mi-na, under the guise of searching for the "Sword of Salvation." He immediately set off to the west once again, and, upon finding her, was told of the true nature of Soul Edge. Deciding that Korea would no longer rely on legends to save itself--that it could rely on its own strength--he dragged Mi-na home with one goal in mind: to rejoin the Coastal Forces in guarding against the impending Japanese invasion. During his second quest Hwang learned that Soul Edge was evil, so he made a report to his superiors about the matter. Sadly that only served to tarnish his reputation. Admiral handed him Blue Thunder again, and Hwang understood the meaning of this mission, to save his country. Before beginning his quest, he went to the Capital and stole the fragments gathered there, since he wouldn't leave his beloved country with anxiety in his heart. He then headed towards the West, knowing that both Yun-seong, a student of the Seung Dojo, and Seong Mi-na were in a similar quest. He hopes to join forces with them and together destroy the evil blade once and for all. WEAPONS -- Blue Storm A Tang Dynasty chinese long sword passed through the Seong family from generation to generation. It was handed to Hwang by Seong Han-myeong himself, and he carried it during his first quest to search for Soul Edge. Once he returned from his search, he handed it back to his master. -- Blue Thunder A chinese blade handed to him by Admiral Lee Sun Shin . The sword was given to Shin in his youth by Seong Han-myeong, who descended from a clan famous for his military skills and now trains Hwang as his master. Hwang was forced to return it after his second search for Soul Edge ended in failure, but it was given back to him at the arrival of his new mission. STAGES -- Desert Path (SB) A desertic path that stretches in the middle of Asia. Its completely barren and desolate, aside from the ruins of an ancient chinese fortress, who is now buried in the sands. This road is the most dangerous passage to the travelers who choose to avoid the dangerous sea route. It is truly and extremelly cruel passage. -- Silk Road Ruins (SC) The prosperous oasis cities in the shirt of the Takla Makan were important relay stations for caravans crossing the Silk Road. Merchants rested and enjoyed these cities as they chased the profits of trade. This remain constructed in a cave deep within a valley lay but one day's travel by wagon from a near by oasis city. Rumor has it that a rich merchant, fond of life away from the rush of city life, built this remain. As if to prove the rumour the halls and floors are decorated with expensive lazurite and malachite.
