Tae-il (MUOFO)

Tae-il (aka Ti Lo) is the master of the Elemental Fury Style of the Infernos, one of four such styles (the others being Storm, Quake and Blizzard). He is the brother of Soon Li.
== Appearance ==
Tae-il is man, appearing to be in his later 20s, with vibrant red hair and a generally handsome appearance. 
== Personality ==
We know little of Tae-il's normal personality as at all points in the story he was at least partly awakened, but in this state he appeared to be general helpful and playful, with a penchant for laughing inappropriately at their dark situation. Fully possessed Tae-il seemed to possess little regard for the safety of others, although did avoid harming those of that world at times, presumably to preserve his own dwindling power.
== History ==
Tae-il first appears, unnamed, at the a great fire in Hong Kong. Exiting the flames he was confronted by a fireman, but enchanted him and left after suffering a bout of pain.
He reappears later to greet Ukyo unexpected in her own home, and is soon after joined by Ranma in female form, explaining to them something of what happened to the world in Ranma's absence. He directs the pair to the Nekohanten where they find Cologne and Mousse and shows them all how the very universe itself is being rapidly erased.
After determining their only means of escaping the erasure is to go to the other dimension, he sets off with the others to find Soon Li and recover the bracelets. However, he finally loses control of the spirit within him part way there, and in a crazed state confronts them. After Shampoo arrived, she attempted to engage him, but despite her best effort was able to do him no harm and was effortlessly defeated. Cologne would then unleash her full power to distract him, directly Ranma to escape with Shampoo.
Like Shampoo before her, Cologne's efforts had no real effect, only amusing him. However, thanks to Soon Li's intervention, Ukyo and Mousse left the world, giving him some measure of control back. He continued the fight for a time until confronted by all those remaining in the world, along with the newly arrived Ranma and Akane. At this point he calmed enough to explain while he understood Soon Li's motives, he had doubts that Akane and Shampoo were up to the task as something was hunting all of them, which he dubbed the executioners. He was, however, convinced to allow Soon Li to impart the 2nd part of the unification technique to Akane, intending to test the pair in combat in their new unified form.
After successfully unifying, Tae-il quickly engaged the newly formed Shamne in battle, destroying large areas of Tokyo in the process. With time, Shamne was able to properly stabilize and overwhelm Tae-il in hand to hand combat although not able to truly harm him, but at this point he switched attack strategies and trapped them in a bubble of energy, turning everything within into a nuclear furnace.
Only with the help of the Ranma of this world, now with her aura modified to scrabble magic, was Shamne able to escape and land a fatal blow on Tae-il. As his last act he congratulated Shamne and instructed her to find his counterpart before the executioners could. 
== Ability ==
As a master of the Infernos style, Tae-il has a level of ki and magical use unrivaled save by his siblings. He has shown the ability to control not only his on ki, but that of others, teleport, generate a powerful energy shield, and disrupt the use of magic over large areas, including the activation of Jusenkyo curses. However, much of this may be due to his, at the time, awakened state of the planetary spirit.
Said planetary spirit is the main source of Tae-il's advanced knowledge and power. Said to be the combined knowledge of all life on Earth, even a tiny fraction of this power allowed Tae-il to devastate both Tokyo and before that Hong Kong. He was also able to face Cologne at her maximum, with little effort in this greatly weakened state.
== Notes ==
* Tae-il was originally named Ti Lo in the earlier version of MUOF, but was renamed to Tae-il to conform to a real Korean name.
