He is rather serious and has a strong sense of duty,honor and tradition, knowing that it is "a supreme crime for a Braalian to misuse their super-magnetic powers.

Rokk Krinn's highly developed magnetic skills were discovered early, and he became Braal's greatest and youngest professional Magno Ball player, which enabled him to support his poor family. Rokk's fans gave hi m the nickname "Cosmic Boy," a title he continues to use with pride.
