Dream in Techinicolor

After 1685, Myungsoo couldn't use his real name for a couple of decades since it was believed that the confidant of the Crown Prince perished in the fire, so from 1686 to about 1701, he lived as Kiyong Woo. In 1701, he faked his death, so that he could move and live under a different name. In 1702, he moved from Seoul to Busan, and lived there from 1702 to 1753 as Seokyun Kim. In 1753, Seok Yun was found dead of poisioning and so, just like that Myungsoo vanished again. He lived for a while on the move, never stopping anywhere enough, until he came to France in the year 1785. Officially, as of now, he had been a vampire for 100 years. He started living in Paris as Antoine Bellamy and he learned French in a city that would undergo the French Revolution. He lived in Paris until 1806, when he felt that it was time to move on to better things. 

In 1807, he found himself in the south of France, close to Cannes, still living as Antione Bellamy. He stayed in France until 1810 and moved to Italy, after making sure that Antoine Bellamy would be buried in the past. He started living in Venice as Dante Acone and while he got noticed for being good looking, no one paid any attention to how he never ate anything. While living in Italy, Myungsoo picked up Italian. He lived in Venice from about 1810 to 1840, and then moved to Rome, living in Rome as the cousin of Dante Acone, Manuel Acone from 1840 to 1860.

In 1860, he moved to England, and started living in Victorian England as Alton Ashley. All the while living in England, he began working as a butler to a Lord in the Queen’s court. He lived as Alton Ashley in London until 1901, after Queen Victoria’s death. He then moved to Belfast and lived in Belfast, as Finn Arthur. Myungsoo decided that Europe was not becoming to his tastes and so, in 1912, he moved back to London and acquired a ticket for the maiden voyage of the Titanic. Of course, he sailed and survived the sinking of the ship. He was the only person who wasn’t scared to die, simply because he was already dead, so the icy water could do nothing to him.

In August of 1912, he arrived in PEI and started living in Canada first. He spoke nothing of the sinking, just said that he had gotten lost while fishing. He lived in PEI from 1912 to 1914, when he decided to move to New York. At the time, the First World War in Europe was happening but he was exempt since he didn’t pass his physicals. Apparently, his paleness was a sure sign of anemia and blood diseases. So, he quietly lived in a New York townhouse from 1914 to 1943 as Alton Kim, finally slowly resuming life with his last name. 

In 1943, he moved to Los Angeles, and here, he made the wise decision to go back to something American, so while living in LA, and exempt from service, he went by Danny Cole so as to not attract attention to himself as an Asian. He lived in Los Angeles from 1943 to 1975, when he finally moved to Japan. In Japan, he started going by Kim Myungsoo, his birth name and he lived in Japan from 1975 to 1990, moving from Tokyo to Kyoto to little towns here and there.
