choi san. he/him ╱ restless nights, messy handwriting + hushed whispers at 3am. those are a few things that remind me of kwon seojun, the twenty-three year old museum tour guide. every time i see them, they are stubborn on a bad day but can be benevolent most of the time. whenever i hear high by the cure, i just know they’re nearby.

so seojun was born and raised in san francisco to a lawyer for a dad and a high school history teacher for a mom. he is the only child and honestly with parents that are ALWAYS busy, he felt lonely.

eventually, he found friends in his neighborhood and a little friend group with their hangouts in a treehouse or something. homeboy was content and was able to be the social butterfly he is.

those friends were the ones that seojun stuck by up until the end of high school. the friends that knew his love for art so they nearly pressured him to participate in a art show / exhibits in middle school. he probably got second place or something but that encouraged him to continue sharpening up his painting skills.

since his mom worked at a high school, jun saw her for majority of his history classes and his mom was such a protective mother bear. he had a rebellious streak to him so his mom would be the one to get him out of detention and would go to his meetings with the principal.

aside from painting, he spent most of his time frequenting libraries and in a poetry club.

once he hit college, seojun moved to asteria, ny, majoring in art. From time to time, he would do commissions for companies or sell his artwork to people.

after college, he was able to score a job as an art museum tour guide.

seojun is pansexual, a bit of a mess and a serial kisser. has plenty of flings and crushes. 

he is a boy with big dreams but is stubborn and kinda reckless. the type to go on random adventures at 3am.

CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY

PAST

Space. When people asked him what he lacked in his childhood he would always answer the same thing. Space. Ezra was born in Hell’s Kitchen Manhattan right smack in the middle of New York City. Not only did he live in the most crowded state and the most crowded city and the most crowded neighborhood, but also in the most crowded family. Ezra was the second child out of four in the Kim household. He had two sisters named Sydney and Eva and an older brother named Jasper. They all lived together on the 16th floor of an apartment building on 51st street. His parents owned a nearby bodega and Ezra could remember spending many afternoons manning the cash register or “stocking” the candy shelves. Again, no space. If he was at school he was in a crowded classroom, at home he shared a room with his brother and the shop was filled with customers. Something Ezra didn’t think to take for granted at the time. When Ezra started middle school a new chain of stores opened across the neighborhood. They began pushing out local businesses by buying the shops with cash or just beating them out by offering lower prices. While many stores lost the battle to the corporate entity Ezra’s parents had a following and were able to survive. His parents resisted the chain no matter how much money was thrown their way. However, when blank checks weren’t working soon red and blue lights were brought to the table. Unbeknownst to him his parents were here on an expired student visa from when they were in college and before he was able to even process what that meant they were both deported back to South Korea leaving him and his oldest sibling in the US. Sydney and Eva were too young at the time to understand what was going on so they decided that it would be best for his parents to take them back to South Korea with them. This left only Ezra and his brother to hold the family afloat by sending money back whenever they could. Months and months past and as much as Jasper and Ezra tried to create a steady stream of income back to their parents America was sucking them dry. After a while they believed they finally caught a break when Jasper was offered a position out on the west coast. He said he would go out there and check out the position and when he made enough money, he would send Ezra a ticket to join him. This was seven years ago, and he had not heard from his brother since. The first couple of weeks they seemed to talk everyday Jasper telling Ezra how exciting California was and how the air just seemed to be different. But after a while the calls stopped and soon Jasper was no longer picking up his phone or answering his texts. Ezra tried to call the police but what could he do since he lived on the other side of the country. They laughed him off and told him that his brother was just off with some girl. Ezra would always tell them that his brother would never do that but as the years past he wondered if they were right. Unable to support a New York bill on a 15-year old’s salary Ezra got on the nearest bus route he could find and road it all the way into the south. That’s when he stepped into Asteria, North Carolina a place he had never heard of before and the rest is history.

PRESENT

Bullet Points of Ezra’s life:

·       Thanks to the kindness and Pity of a local landlord Ezra was able to land himself a sublet in the landlord’s apartment building downtown.

·       At the age of 16 he started working at the local day care center which established in him a love for kids he never thought existed.

·       At the age of 18 he applied for an assistant teacher position at a local elementary school. Where he met Ms. Robyn, the local Kindergarten teacher.

·       When he turned 20 Ms. Robyn pushed him to apply for the Kindergarten lead teacher position when she retired and surprisingly, he made it.

Present Day

He currently works as the lead Kindergarten teacher of class 3 and he loves it more than anything he ever thought he could be when he was younger. Despite the judgement of some of the other teachers in the school Ezra has become a school favorite. He currently is paying a private investigator to find his brother and is lying to his family saying that Jasper is currently away in the military and can only send letters home.

Wanted plots & Headcanons (if any)

Workout Buddy/ Brotp: Ever since he was little Ezra always had a competitive nature wanting to win at everything from basketball games to guessing the exact time one of his kids would fall for their nap. His friends would normally not entertain this side of him, but this person was always different. They both had a love for anything athletic, so they spent a lot of time together. From hiking in the morning to late night basketball games if you saw them together, they were probably sweaty and out of breath.

Older Sibling Imprint: He would never admit it but he cherishes this person’s opinion more than anyone elses and considers them an older sibling. They are able to give him some stability in a life that has been thrown upside down ever since he was little.

Roommate: As if fate had tied them together the two had become quick friends and even quicker best friends. Attatched at the hip you could always find one by looking for the other. Which makes it no surprise that they decided to live together.

PAST

Born and raised in Asteria, NC to Jackson & Amelila Adams

Mom passed away when she was young. ( no one knows this was due to a second pregnancy from an affair ). She was a stay at home mom so no one ever knew she was pregnant. They did their best to cover it up because of the scrutiny they’d face from an affair.

Grew up in the Eris District. They did not have a lot of money growing up. Her mother was a stay at home mom despite the bills needing to be paid. A medical condition kept her from maintaining a full time job. Her father has always worked as a security job at the local bank in time. It paid the bills, but they were never wealthy by far.

Has a half-sibling that no one is aware about expect herself and her father. She has never reached out to this half-sibling.

Delilah grew up with exactly what she needed and not much more. Having wants and frivolous items was simply not in the budget. They fixed things on their own and rarely reached out to help from others.

She grew up being kind and empathetic to others. Whether others had it worse or better than her, she did her best to befriend them. And didn’t want people to look at her differently for growing up with the bare minimums.

There were definitely people that teased her for wearing hand me downs or the fact that her mom would sew her own clothes, but Delilah wore them with pride. It was the only way to not be upset all the time from bullying about her lack of wealth and clothes.

Not to say she didn’t have friends. Regardless of how people treated her, Delilah was outgoing and kind to others. She couldn’t afford extra curricular activities like some of the other kids, but she was at every free event that she could attend to support her peers. Delilah, however, did join yearbook club in high school because it meant that she could attend more events for free.

She balanced her school work ( which was mediocre ), yearbook club and working as a waitress at nights to help pay the bills once she was old enough to start working. Delilah was no stranger to hard work and while she often let her school work fall behind, she felt that helping her and her father live a better life was something worth letting her grades slip for.

With the two of them having to do things for themselves, when Delilah saved up for her first car, it was not the best car. It was constantly needing work and well, it was not something she had money for.

Delilah began to learn from youtube videos and a generous mechanic down at the shop that was close with her father how to work on her car. He offered to fix her car for free, but Delilah refused, wanting to learn how to do it herself.

And so she did. Delilah began learning all the workings of her beat up car and quickly, the woman fell in love with being under the hood of a car. She quit her job as a waitress and began mentoring under her father’s friend for much less pay, but she was learning a skill that she felt like she could rely on for life.

With her grades being less than perfect, Delilah knew college was out of the question. And how would she afford it without burying herself in debt? The answer? She wouldn’t. Delilah chose to not go to college, staying in Asteria for work at the mechanic shop.

PRESENT

Since she was seventeen years old, Delilah has been working in Eris at the mechanic shop. Her father’s best friend has been teaching her the ropes. Once she was a few years in, she was hired as a mechanic full-time.

Delilah moved her and her father to an apartment downtown. It was nothing special but it was better than a home that needed more work than it was worth with a mortgage to default. Their apartment was two bedrooms and something that Delilah could afford with her salary down at the mechanics shop and doing side jobs around town for those who couldn’t afford to go to the shop.

In addition to paying for the apartment, once she started working as a mechanic, Delilah stepped up her fashion game. There were no more thrift store clothes, at least not for the sake of not having any money to spend on clothes. She knows that it materialistic but it makes her feel better about herself when she isn’t all greased up down at the mechanics shop.

She maintains friendships easily and while living with her father, she did not do a ton of dating. She did, but they would rarely be invited over to her apartment, as she felt it was disrespectful to him and their apartment together.

Roughly a year and a half ago, her father was shot in a bank robbery. He showed up at the wrong moment ( trying to be a hero ) and was shot. This destroyed Delilah in more ways than one. Her father was her entire rock, her entire life. It was always the two of them, for as long as she could remember. Her own memory of her mother was tainted from the affair, no matter how much her father tried to make it seem like it was his fault.

It sent Delilah into a tizzy, forcing her to focus solely on work just to deal with the pain of losing her father. Any relationships she might have had during the time were ruined by her grieving and inability to move on for quite some time. For roughly six months, all she did was work and work and work. She needed to save up enough money to move out of the apartment.

Living in the same apartment that she shared with her father was out of the question. In those six months of working a ton of overtime, Delilah managed to save and move into another apartment. It was still a two bedroom apartment where she currently has a roommate. Having a roommate isn’t financially needed but the offer was there and Delilah couldn’t turn it down

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

father’s best friend: this character taught delilah all that she knows about cars and being a mechanic. delilah has been working in the mechanic’s shop since she was seventeen years old. 

roommate: six months after her father’s death, delilah needed to move into a new apartment. upon her move, she reached out to an ad for someone in need of an apartment. 

half-sibling: this sibling was given up by jackson ( delilah’s father ) when ameila ( their shared mother ) passed away after giving birth to the half-sibling. jackson was unable to care for both children on his income and opted to give the other one up. delilah has learned of this, many years ago, but has never approached said half-sibling with the truth and they have lived in asteria their entire lives.

essentially ethan abhors the whole asskissing thing and power dynamics in companies so he’s currently working as a freelancer creating/designing websites for people (while also freeloading at his college buddy’s place)

personality

easygoing as hell, ethan more so often prefers the easy way out rather than dealing with anything too difficult/taxing on his mentality (so if it’ll shut u the hell up he’ll just Agree with it)

CHARACTER HISTORY

Percy hadn’t always been a good kid, but he was surely one of the better ones. Pushed away with a scowl and enough lectures to curve his interest in the usual rebellion most of his peers had, he found other ways to explore the world and its limits. He was born and raised in Seattle and crossed the threshold of a white picket fence the day he left the hospital. For a long time, he thought of that fence as the gates to his kingdom but little did he know that it was his father’s way of keeping the struggles that plagued their family far away. 

The Dawson’s weren’t a picture perfect family, but they had some shine to their grime. Percy and his sister, Adelaide, were inseparable and he was always the one pulling her away from the things their father advised them against. The two were different, but they had a loyalty like no other and so when Adelaide passed away their junior year of college, everything he ever knew seemed to have finally spoiled. He believed every chance he saved up, every karma point reserved for him to share with his sister, had not just rotted but never existed at all. More importantly, his father had never prepared them for the world he had belonged to. He hadn’t protected them. 

After his sister’s death, his family seemed to shrivel up under their grief and his parents divorced. His father relocated to his sister’s happy place in Asteria, and Percy stayed far away from it. He couldn’t understand trying to chase a memory in those places forgotten from their youth and more importantly, ruined by the person his sister had eventually become after she began taking drugs. He had done his best to be a bridge between her and their parents, but it wasn’t enough. That guilt ate away at him and one night he gave in to the poison that took his sister’s life, and he’s yet to stop.

PRESENT DAY

He lived with his mother after the divorce but after his use became too heavy, and sleeping on porches in the middle of winter after she refused to let him come in high, he decided maybe he needed some change but not without raising a little hell first. He’s come to Asteria not to turn a new leaf, but find another reason of spite to carry on. He hopes that he can use whatever sympathy his father has left until it's run dry, and until he's on to his next move.

★the baby of her family, quiet and shy as opposed to her noisy older siblings. wanted to help others though, carried around bandaids in her glitter pink fanny pack.

★obsessive compulsive from an early age, but parents dismissed it as just being a quirk. the family had only things to worry about, with their mother, than deal with cole's ocd. cole dealt with it on her own, in silence.

★from an early age, cole entered spelling bees, educational tournaments to win money for her family. they were poor, and the money went to her mother's addiction. this was the driving force of the divorce.

★cole had a hard time fitting in with her accent and her obsessive, and at times nerdy persona in north carolina. despite that though, she got herself a scholarship to a fancy private high school.★there, she met a boy she fell in love with - a boy who didn't care about her lack of money. his name was luca and together, they were each other's therapy.

★they both got into university of north carolina chapel hill - him to become a vet and her to become a social worker to help others, cole's calling.

★when cole graduated, her father and siblings were there, as well as luca and cole realized her dream to stay in asteria with luca, have a family with him.

★it wasn't until a few years later, when cole was twenty-seven, that on the way home of luca's graduation, that her OCD flare up during a thunderstorm. she needed him to go a certain way home - they fought, but he complied.

★she tried to save him, but before he shut his eyes for good, asked her to be his wife, a ring in his pocket. cole cried yes, he smiled and died before the ambulance came.
