ASSORTMENT OF NEAT LIL CHARACTER THINGS

Samjo is short for 'Samjogo' [sometimes spelled Samjok-o or Samjoko], the three-legged Crow referenced in various mythology with a focus on the Korean lore for this character.

Samjo love noodles more than most beings could ever grasp and any theft or desecration of his noodles will result in adverse shenanigans, don't test him.

His mood is changeable, sometimes without warning, but when they're quick and severe, his hair will start to shift colors between black, white, and gold, or a combination that thereof depending on the sort of outburst of emotion he's feeling. This is the same with his feathers when he's in his crow form.

His crow form, besides having a distinguishable 3rd leg, is also a good couple of inches taller than the average crow, making him stand out amongst any typical murder.

Like any crow, if you wrong him, he will remember it, and while it can take a lot of hazing, he hits a limit pretty suddenly.

Samjo does indeed enjoy objects that shine, as well as a few other textures, and he will present such objects as tokens of affection at times. This can come in the form of anything from steel to diamonds, so be prepared for anything.

He has a tattoo along the left side of his back that's focused along his left shoulder blade. When his power is used in excess, the tattoo will glow pure white.

for sin, samjo and bu-young (ji-hyun if you wanna) and why?!

Ohhhhhh let's see...

Sin: Starting with the most likely to get fussy if his order is wrong B[ When it's warmer outside, it's a Caramel-Mocha Frappuccino with a shot of espresso and extra whipped cream. Colder weather, he goes for a Dalgona Cafe Latte with, you guessed it, a shot of espresso. Samjo: No matter what the weather is, unless he's having coffee brewed hot at home, he'll go for a cold drink. A pistachio frappe cold brew is his go to, but when he's in a rush, he'll just take a classic mocha frappe. Bu-Young: Roasted Hojicha Green Tea with Agave nectar, when he's being given something that he considers 'a treat', but at home he'll normally just make himself Masala Chai tea with either honey or brown sugar. Ji-Hyun: Mango-raspberry boba tea, sometimes with strawberry boba as well. He just really likes things like look like sunshine and taste like the summer time 🥺

Much of the time in the ancient eras, he was sent as a messenger of hope more so than prophetic doom, but as the conflicts amongst humans grew more frequent and more violent, there were more warnings than calls for celebration. The WORST one was probably when they had to deliver the news of the oncoming death of Maripgan Bu-Young, a previous incarnation of the modern-day Bu-Young. It was a message that he tried everything to nullify before finally being forced to deliver it. The BEST news though, or at least the news that made him feel the best to deliver, was probably one that he gave to the heavens, and that was that he had unilaterally decided that he was to be A-Yeong's Heavenly Guardian.
