› tl;dr bg 2y toss up but he’s already this close to quitting. only here to make his parents happy and has no interest in slapping on spandex to save people from falling buildings or rob banks.

› q: yo, who’s the weird loser doing those optional online courses?   a: yeah, it’s this one. laugh all you want, the real world doesn’t revolve around heroes and villains, idiots. 

› fade into the background most of the time. also doesn’t help that he assassinate attempts at small talk. 

› actually isn’t anti-social, believe it or not. can crack a few jokes every now and then, he just barely talk the rest of the time. or do that thing call feelings. 

› has the emotional range of a wet sock. maybe less. at least the sock can squeeze out a few tears. 

› on the bright side, if you want honest, unbiased opinions on your shitty personality, he’s your guy. 

› allergic to affection. it’s nothing personal, he’s just an a class tsundere, so warm, fuzzy feelings freak him out.   q: does that make him easy to tease?    a: very.

› 2y roommate where you at? he’s chill and comes attached with gaming consoles! (limited warranty) 

› friends! childhood friends! someone that talk his ear off! someone equally bad at conversations so they hang in silence! this! or this! chill neutral gang that let him tag along in the background! anyone and everyone! force him to love you! 

› someone that know about his situation and want to convince him the hero/villain biz is great! alternatively, someone who blackmails him instead! need manual labour? he got plenty! 

› someone who likes picking a fight with him! or tries to get a rise out of him! doesn’t always work but don’t worry! keep trying and you’ll get a 9 foot golem punch to the face!

fun facts.

the name is chaewon but he mostly goes by chae. he won’t tell anyone why he hates being called by his full first name but he does-- don’t question it. he likes being mysterious in any way he possibly can

yknow when you first enter a new school as a first year and you’re scared that the upperclassmen might bully you? chae is that upperclassman. he does it out of love, he swears-- he’ll ask you to spar and then use your own fighting style against you just to make you terrified of hand-to-hand combat classes in the future. first years i’m so sorry sweeties

immediately switched to his own room the minute he became a third year and roommates stopped being a requirement bc he claims to hate all people. not quite sure how accurate that is, i’ll get back to you on that

yes he’s still a toss up even after two and a half years at stokes, and no he’s not planning on choosing a side any time soon. even if from an outsider’s perspective it really looks like he’s been leaning villain since the beginning. who needs labels, am i right?

chae knows nothing about the identity of his father, yet he somehow manages to act just like him on occasion. needless to say, he gets along much better with the villains of the school than the heroes.

he’s nearly impossible to beat when you play any type of sport against him, and honestly he’d like to see someone try (without cheating, of course… if you win he *will* insist that you cheated, fair warning).

chae hiding pets that he’s not supposed to have in the dorms? more likely than you think.

plot ideas.

third year ex-roommates who might’ve been arguing with him constantly but maybe just maybe they actually cared for each other underneath it all. who knows but they wouldn’t admit it if they did

upperclassmen bully squad!!!! probably a small group of villains and toss ups who are just ........ Not Nice and they bond over it

a hero friend who he cares for dearly but he’ll never listen to them when they try to guide him away from the dark side

his Chosen first or second year who he probably started out picking on just like everyone else, but eventually he started to feel the need to protect them. he feels like he’s their big brother sometimes. could be a hero, villain, or toss up

an ex, probably a villain, who he went out with during either his first or second year. whatever happened between them, they still don’t exactly have kind feelings toward each other

trivia.

a good, friendly egg who lacks that spark of enthusiasm at the end of everything to be a hero-hero, but he attempts! (sometimes!)

smiley, smiley boy who finds even the littlest of day-to-day moments entertaining, whether it’d be some clumsy girl tripping on air face-flat or watching his classmates banter about some trivial topics

the best cheater/resident troll on the island, advised not to bet anything if you’re about to play any card games or... anything at all with him

his forte is turning into small, cute animals because his second oldest sister loves ‘em and he practiced his shapeshifting abilities mostly for the purpose of entertaining her/keeping her happy

child-like with the way he talks and acts but also not the epitome of naivety either. an enigma, unlock more (plot) to find out :-)

plots.

sel catches a cold/is sick, unable to turn back into his original form after shifting into a *insert your muse’s favorite animal here* and just wandering around campus (sel: please don’t take me to the nearest animal shelter)

you’re a villain/villain-in-training and encounter sel in his undercover form (probably shifted into one of your villain buddies) but the catch is that his voice mimicry is not at all up to par with his physical shifting skills. hey, you smell (hear) something fishy?

your crush comes up to you and confesses their love for you and you start freaking out before you hear sel bursting out into laughter 😬😬😬 (teach this troll of a boy a lesson, maybe?!)

a shapeshifting service for whatever purpose it may be (petting zoo? interview practice?) for the price of *whatever sel feels like requesting at the moment* (villains not preferred, but you can try asking nicely 😄)

family friends, best friends, childhood friends, puppy love typa crush, etc.

second born son of a super villain, manifested his abilities late in life and as such, has quite the complex from years of neglect followed by years of being forced onto the power influx hamster wheel his father forces him to run on.

known heavily as “seo daehyun’s younger brother” much to his dismay.

currently entering stokes after years of academy/private institution as a villain who works his ass off every day during training.

power mimicry ability, and i’ve detailed a bit about how it works and effects him and others on his powers page so please look at that for more information !

thoughtful, ornery, introverted and spicy, tbh he’s kind of like a cryptid meme. typical cat-like personality who only shows more than 5 emotions to people he knows well and likes a lot.

a little shy and uncomfortable when people are too nice to him, usually will get tsundere or just run away.

nothing like his brother at all and they will never be caught dead talking to each other. they don’t get along at all, putting it lightly.

unlike his brother, he doesn’t look down on abilities of others, but they do stress him the hell out. if someone has a volatile or highly powerful ability he’s 100% more likely to run in the opposite direction because his personal ability will make their friendship✨ difficult ✨

likely the guy you heard rumors about randomly spontaneously combusting in the hallway the other day, because he accidentally absorbed someones abilities that he didn’t understand how to use and it’s still embarrassing for him.

rich asshole with nice hair and 20/20 vision really peak privilege talking here you guys 

has a low tolerance for everything meek/unassuming/passive/slow...in combination with her always prioritizing that she has fun over people’s wellbeing at their expense, it pretty much speaks for itself 

(semi) redeeming (?) qualities: self aware, will insult-pep talk you out of a shitty mood, generous under the guise of it being mock charity, will admit when something is actually pretty fucking cool no tsun shit here

took a year off last year for family business things, and if anything it’s only solidified that banking is boring and she’d rather just do the villain thing full time 

rosa/marlene energy 

plots, ideas, one-liners

she was your childhood bully back in the day and the worst part is probably the fact that she can’t be bothered to remember who you are

a roommate that’s pretty much chaotic in how chill they are (capped to a year four villain) 

kind of want a sick six ride or die type of crew honestly

“you’re a villain? lmaooo”

the very prodigious son of a super villain, once upon a time in the villain category himself (in his 1st & 2nd year to be exact) currently, he’s holding down his popularity as a 4th year hero!

telekinesis ability, and i’ve detailed a bit about how it works and effects him and others on his powers page so please look at that for more information !

quite charming, eerily so at times, competitive, intense, cool, magnetic, overwhelming.

complicated boy :((

admittedly looks down on people, but he usually doesn’t express it aloud unless he’s got beef.

WAY looks down on abilities/powers tbh, and people he feels are weak willed. 

he’s no good boy, but he is a boy who makes a strong impression, and certainly talks loudly enough about wanting to shape the world around his heroic deeds LOL.

dear old mom worked in a gang, and since she gave him up to them when he was 2, he doesn’t know who she is

was basically raised by the gang, but by the loosest of definitions of ‘raised’

a lot of sexual and physical abuse, which only got worse after his wings grew in at 13

attacked an abuser while trying to fight for his life at 19; they shot him and left him to die in an alley

some kind soul came and saved him, and so here he is

got scouted by people from the school, and decided, mostly because his saviour thought it was a good idea, to enroll

lots of ptsd, scared of physical contact anywhere that’s not his hands, but trying to get better at it

and ironically enough, unconsciously craves physical touch

terrified of men physically larger than he is, which is unfortunately, a lot of people, but again, trying to get better at facing others.

tries his best to fake being normal, even though he’s in a school for mutants now, because he knows that being looked at like a circus freak is going to take him leaps and bounds backwards in terms of mental state

and so his wings are constantly strapped to his back with a harness that he keeps stupidly tight

despite all the ptsd and triggers though, he had tried to be as much like his saviour as possible, trying to be the best, kindest person he can be during the first year of his school life

an incident happened during his first year, though, something involving a bully, and he snapped, essentially. 

nowadays, he’s pleasant and quiet, but when confronted, or when he starts to feel scared, he will try and fisticuffs his way out
