7 ● Brigmore ● Kang Jinsoo ● 17 ● 7th Year
Shade: Kitsune FC: Kim Taehyung Sciences & Athletics
Personality Outwardly, Jinsoo appears selfish, conceited, rude and spoiled. And to some extent, these impressions are true. He has litte to no compassion for anyone unfamiliar to him and even if he does happen to be familiar with someone,
his consideration towards them will be highly limited. He acts as if he's
sadistic and brutal normally, quick to resort to threats if needed, but in reality, he would not be able to so much as harm someone if they were innocent from his wrath. If they were deserving of his wrath however, due to whatever terrible thing they might have done to him, he will have little in his head but making them suffer, though he would likely not go as far as take their life. He likes to act tough and invincible (though his physique does not support this image) and has managed to become somewhat successful in his attempt, planting the reputation that he's actually quite strong. While he likes to make positive accusations involving himself, that is not usually the case with others. When it comes to anyone else, Jinsoo is the epitome of judgmental. In a way, it is how he protects himself from disadvantageous encounters, for cynicism does tend to keep most out of his little circle of relationships.
He's also known to be stubborn, rude, and incredibly non-submissive or disobedient, even to teachers, coaches and people with obvious authority over him. He is willing to cause whatever trouble and use almost anyone and anything for his gains. As such, he's very cunning and charming, but his manipulative nature prevents him from making any genuine or lasting bonds with others, save for his family. He has a mocking personality with most of those he manipulates, speaking informally with them as if they are close friends and often using nicknames. When with such people, he's rather obviously evident in his arrogance and playfulness in tendency to make fun of others. He's also very petty; if someone upsets him, he is likely to repay them by upsetting them far more than they ever did to him. Forgiveness isn't something he's big on, but holding grudges is.
Despite being flippant and sly in nature, Jinsoo is surprisingly diligent when it comes to his studies. He maintains high grades in sciences, mathematics and athletics, those being his strongest subjects.
History Jinsoo was born in Daegu, South Korea, to a family of great wealth and status at the time. His father worked as a technological service provider, being the ceo of the company, and his mother worked as an actress, model and author. Due to the jobs that both his parents held, it was rare either of them managed to squeeze much time for Jinsoo within their busy schedules. For nearly all his childhood, Jinsoo would only catch glimpses of them coming in or out before their respective shifts. He was raised by the house maidens and butlers instead, who felt more like family to him than his actual family. However, servants of the house also had their respective duties to take care of, and couldn't put in much time for Jinsoo either. In order to find some form of companionship in his generally lonely childhood, Jinsoo usually looked to other children or even adults to befriend. It wasn't that difficult, for he found people tended to flock to him on their own. However, as he grew up, it did not take long for him to realize it was not him his "friends" were interested in, but his family's wealth and reputation. Hence, Jinsoo learned to be wary and closed-off of people, unwilling to trust anyone. When he reached his teens and enrolled into Addermire, as was tradition among noble families, he isolated himself and strayed away from other students, teachers and staff, interacting only with people whom were absolutely necessary for his education. Initially, Jinsoo had accepted school enrollment with the thought that he was doing it to make his parents proud. However, as time passed in Addermire, his parents' schedules slowly cleared up, and they were slowly able to make time for Jinsoo. It was a little late for that, nevertheless, for Jinsoo had frankly lost all and any desire to earn their time, praise, or compliments. He felt no attachment towards them any longer, and when they did attempt to close the distance between them, it made Jinsoo feel anger and irritation rather than pleasure. He often lashed out at them and soon broke most contact with them.
Now, he speaks with them when contacted, but does not go out of his way to initiate conversations with them, nor keep up with the usual pleasantries expected of children separated from their noble lineage.
5 ● Saffron ● Emerson "Em" Harris ● 6th Year ● 17
Moon: Strigoi FC: Troye Sivan Track Team Member
Personality Emerson is a quiet, shy, considerate and generally sweet individual. He lacks much of a presence and therefore doesn't normally bother anyone. He hates the idea of being the cause of someone's pain so he tends to always sugarcoat his words, regardless of his true feelings on a matter. He also inclines towards following the crowd rather than practicing his own freedom of choice, and though he does retain his personal principles or morals, mentally, he isn't quite strong enough to stick to them if something threatening came up. Emerson naturally gravitates towards avoiding his problems rather than facing them, hence why he can always be found napping somewhere without a care in the world, and far from the judging eyes of others. He uses the sleep as a coping method to ignore his insecurities and anxiety, and luckily, it has worked out for him so far.
Although Emerson is distant from others, in truth, he enjoys being in the company of others. He often yearns to join school events, groups, or make friends to hang out with in his free time, but usually ends up shying away from the ideas due to his own worries regarding them. Due to this, however, he can also grow attached to people who show him even the slightest kindness, for he tends to get his hopes up rather fast. Em doesn't really stand out in anything; his grades are average, his powers aren't anything special, he isn't a great track member, and he doesn't talk to very many people. So when receiving any sort of positive attention, he's known to let it get to his head, and if his hopes aren't met, usually falls into a slump for a while. Despite all his flaws, Em is optimistic and seeks out opportunities, and though he may not always fair well in his attempts, he does truly try his best and work hard.
History Emerson was born into a dysfunctional family unit made up of a hopeless father and silent mother. His mother raised him through his early years, but affection was not part of her ways. She would feed him and his father and then lock herself up in her bedroom for the remainder of the day. Em never found out what it was that broke her so much.
Since Emerson's mother frankly ignored her husband, Emerson often found himself being the object of complaint. His father blamed him for her aloofness, always reminding him how he and his mother were close before Em came into the equation. Needless to say, Em didn't have a very happy starting childhood.
However, as Em grew up and started entering his teens, his mother and father's relationship suddenly began improving. They spent more time together and were no longer closed off. They grew so close, in fact, that when Em turned 9, his mother birthed a baby girl, whom she named Molly.
Em loved Molly and became very fond of her early on in their relationship. Where his mother lacked in affection for Molly, he filled in. Even when his parents began arguing again, and their dynamic breaking down, Em continued growing close with her, and defended her from his father's verbal attacks.
Eventually, communication between Em's mother and father completely stopped. Their fights had gotten much worse, to the point where one night when Em's father was asleep, she packed up her things and left the house. While it was true Em's mother and father's relationship was far from healthy, it had been the sole reason keeping Emerson's father together. When she was gone, he felt entirely alone, for he had never cared for the kids. His fits became worse, his attacks began turning physical, and his hatred for his children increased with each passing moment. Ultimately, he came to the conclusion that his life would be much less miserable without his children, for then at least he would only need to worry about providing for himself, and not others. He plotted to remove them entirely from his life and somewhere along the line, Em caught wind of his plans. Fearing for his sister's life, he tried to convince her to run away. It was not easy; Molly was hard set on staying home and believed her father deep down loved them. However, at last, Em managed to convince her. He didn't plan their sneaking out well at all though, for their father caught them before they were out the door, the same day he planned on removing them anyways. Em never made it out, but thankfully, Molly did. Even she could see what her father's feelings on his children were when he showed no remorse ending his own son's life.
Em's death was not a peaceful one; he'd been worrying about whether or not Molly had made it out safely all of his final moments. So perhaps it was to be expected that he came back to life again, as a strigoi. Em had never learned anything about supernatural beings growing up, so to say he was frightened and shocked to find himself alive was an understatement. Though he could not understand his situation, it didn't matter as much to him as seeing how Molly was doing without him. He returned home and searched the entire house, including the soil of their backyard, but never found a corpse so assumed she lived. He set out in search for her, and on one particular night of searching, ran across another stirgoi, who pointed him out to Addermire. Em was grateful for a place to be and took the chance, even being able to locate Molly thanks to the institute's help. He hasn't spoken to her (despite having gone to see her) and doesn't plan on ever speaking to her either. He figured she'd be freaked to see him back. So he takes care of her on the sidelines, from Addermire. Though, it seems he no longer needs to, seeing as she seems quite fine on her own.
