Full Name: Sungjoon Bang
Alias: --
DOB: July 10, 1956
Age: 21
Blood Type: B
Blood Status: Half-blood
Physical Information
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Hair Color: Black
Eye color: Brown
Height: 187 cm
Weight: 160 lbs
Body Build: Lanky, lean muscled. Tall and thin.
Appearance: Somewhat disheveled in appearance, shrouded in an air of tiredness. He does not sleep well and dark circles are always a faint reminder. He has never been possessed of any sort of wealth and so his clothing is of the humble sort. He was often looked down upon by his fellow Slytherins in school for this reason, and the revelation of his blood status. Despite chronic fatigue his eyes are sharp and critical, and he is quick to catch details others might miss. There is a touch of hypervigilance and even paranoia about him.
Wand Information
Wand wood: Red oak
Wand core: Phoenix feather
Wand length: 10 ¾"
Magic/Combat Information:
Skills: Charms, surveillance and intelligence, flying, apparition.
Strengths: Offensive magic, quick reflexes, rather skilled at picking up on deception. Legilimency is an art he has only begun to learn, one which he eagerly wishes to master.
Weaknesses: Defensive magic, strategy and organizing. Not a natural leader. Again his tendency to focus his energy outwards manifests in blind spots, like his emphasis on offensive rather than defensive magic -- if he's so keen on learning Legilimency he should know Occlumency as well, but this is not a main priority of his.
Additional Information: Joined the Order soon after graduation. Has experience in the field in both combat and intelligence gathering.

Additional Information: Working full-time with the Order; does not technically have an official occupation aside from it, but he has been stationed in the Auror office (thanks to some string-pulling and forged documents) by Albus Dumbledore.

Extra Information:

Dislikes: Restriction of freedom, disrespect, prejudice, superiority complexes. Authority figures and structures. Unnecessary cruelty, vanity, pride, and greed.
Hobbies: He does not get much free time outside of work, but when he does he usually spends it relaxing at home or bonding (i.e. drinking) with his fellow Order members. He enjoys both Wizarding and muggle rock music and has played the guitar for several years.
Boggart: His own dead body. A common boggart form is that of loved ones, and here a key piece of his personality is expressed. He is primarily concerned with himself, even though he has joined the cause for the "greater good".
Patronus: Fox.
Personality:
Introverted by nature, he is undoubtedly a cynic who comes off as cautious and suspicious. While he is primarily logic-oriented he does possess a keen intuition in some areas -- namely, the degree to which someone should be trusted. Others may argue he is overly skeptical but he swears by the concept that one is better safe than sorry, and as such it is difficult to earn his confidence. Morally he is more neutral and less zealous about the cause than most of the others in the Order, but the beginning of the war put him in a position where he felt compelled to choose a side and he has remained loyal to the one which, in his eyes, had the best motivation. Perhaps typical of those sorted into Slytherin house he is adaptable and cunning, possessed of a strong sense of self-preservation which combined with his ability to think on his feet has enabled him to survive some dire circumstances. When at ease, in those rare wartime moments of relaxation and comfort, he can be quite easygoing, amusing those close to him with his signature dry wit.
Biography:
Born to a muggle father and a witch mother, Sungjoon was raised in a humble household in rural East Kent. His father was a coal miner who met his future wife on a drunken night out on the town in London. After a brief courtship the two wed, welcoming the son who would be their only child after just a few months of marriage. Her rapid love affair and choice of husband ostracized Sungjoon's mother from her family, who, though not outright prejudiced against muggles and muggle-borns, still held the old-fashioned view that she was bringing shame upon the family by not "marrying well" -- a euphemism for joining their bloodline with that of a more prestigious wizarding family.
Never having known his mother's parents or her sisters, Sungjoon never felt their scorn. His father's parents still resided in Korea, so he never met them either. Still, they were happy -- an insular but self-sustained little clan living in a quaint farmhouse that always smelled of home-cooked meals and a fire crackling in the hearth. Much to his mother's delight, Sungjoon received his invitation to Hogwarts at eleven and went on to accept his rightful place at the school. It was in his second year that his half-blood status came to light, something his peers would never forget. Not everyone in Slytherin house held this fact against him, but enough did that he began to withdraw, putting more of his attention into academics and less into the social aspects of life at Hogwarts. He learned to be independent and not rely on anyone else -- a trait which would serve him well when grave news reached him in fifth year. A shaft at the coal mine where his father worked had collapsed, trapping the man and several of his fellow workers inside and killing them.
It was like a switch had been flipped, illuminating everything he'd been blind to these last few years. The collapse of his idyllic family life shed light on the state of the wizarding world, enabling him to see it for all its ugliness in glaring relief. These were not isolated incidents -- tragic accidents, a string of murders by some madman -- and the ones who called themselves the Death Eaters were more than a delusional band of fringe extremists. They were gaining power and influence more rapidly than anyone in the halls of Hogwarts or even the Ministry wanted to admit, and this was an all-out war.
As his seventh year drew to a close, Sungjoon stood at a crossroads. Whispers filled the Slytherin dormitory of the undefeatable Dark wizard known only as Voldemort, and it was with a hushed reverence that they spoke of his rise to power. It was clear he was amongst boys and girls who were becoming men and women eager to join his ranks. It would be a lie to say that Sungjoon wasn't tempted, but when it came down to a final decision he only had to look at the contempt on their faces to know he had never belonged with them.
It was no easy feat, discovering the heart of the resistance, but once he learned it was the Order of the Phoenix he presented himself as a willing soldier and joined the fight.
